Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

[Schneed10]

I mean the key questions here are:

- What makes Brady Quinn any different from Aaron Rodgers and Jason Campbell?

- If the NFL (ie, THE MARKET) had a general consensus in place that Quinn was a top 10 pick, then why did he fall all the way to 22?

Answers:

Quinn's situation is no different from the situations of Rodgers and Campbell.

He fell to 22 because teams felt there were 21 other players who would help their team more. And when some of those teams were offered a trade by anyone interested in trading up for Quinn, the Browns didn't offer enough to make it worthwhile to trade down. That tells me that even the Browns had limits on their opinion of Quinn.

Of course they're going to say "We think Brady Quinn will be a great QB in this league." Doesn't mean he should get paid like Leinart or Carson Palmer. After all, the 'Skins thought Jason Campbell would be great, and he got 8 million over 5 years.

Quinn's got nothing.
