Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

[saden1]

Why is it that people think ill of someone for trying to get the maximum they possibly can? Unless you are foolish, I bet every single person in here would be making the same business decision Quinn is making. If the Browns don't want to pay him what he is asking for they should let him sit the fuck out.

I subscribe to Business 101...get paid the most amount of money doing the least amount of work.

No, no, no...bro I'm with the biz 101 thing - trust me. But where do you draw the line? Let's face it, Quinn is going to get paid, but then he has to line up on Sunday and make the city of Cleveland fall in love with the Browns again. That's not a business decision, that's a heart thing. Where's the line is what I'm asking?

The line is drawn when there is compromise. If he doesn't want to compromise let his ass sit out and watch TV.

What happens if he doesn't produce? He'll get kicked to the curb. There is no love in the NFL, all people care about is winning. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get people excited but your first priority is to get paid. Once that's out of the way then flirty with "love." If "love" wasn't meant to be, you still got paid

I agree 100% with your description of Business 101 when it comes to 99.9999% of the population. I don't think, however, that Quinn, as an NFL QB, is being particularly smart about the matter. As an NFL rookie who will likely be asked to step in and start a few games this season at the game's most demanding position, he probably should get into camp as fast as possible. I can understand wanting to get paid like a star now, but I just question whether his desire for a great rookie contract is going to affect his on-field performance, development, etc. and eventually cost him $ when his rookie deal expires.
