Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

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

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.
