Quinn played QB at Notre Dame, and people were raving about him coming out of college. Girls were in love with him, becuase they said he was extremely attractive. Also what made scouts enamored with him, is that he was from Notre Dame. Anyone that follows College Football or knows anything about the sport, knows Notre Dame football. They have a storied history, and have fallen upon hard times recently. If any of you watch ESPN, or ESPN College Gameday, you know that Lou Holtz used to be a coach there, and is in love with the school. He hypes the school more than necessary. I can't tell you the last time Notre Dame won a National Championship. I personally forget the year this was, but the last time I remember them being good, was when they played in the Fiesta Bowl agaisnt one of my personal favorite teams THE Ohio State University. I don't know why I have always liked Ohio State, but the fact is I have. During the game they kept showing Quinn's sister who at the time was dating my favorite player EVER to come out of Ohio State AJ Hawk. I have always been a fan of linebackers, and AJ Hawk was one of the best linebackers I have ever seen come out of college. This may be a stretch in saying, but he was just that good.
So a good looking kid, playing QB at Notre Dame, the media hyped him up to be amazing. Draft day comes and the Browns select a tackle from Wisconsin. The media kept going nuts because Brady was sliding down the board. Finally the Browns re-enter the draft and trade a bunch of picks, and draft Quinn. The crowd went nuts. Thus continued the Browns terrible drafting woes. That can be said in another post. The start of the Brady Quinn era, and an era which they are not going to have an established QB, and are stuck with an overrated QB, plus Derek Anderson who was a one year wonder. The Browns are going to suffer mightily until they can find an established QB. Once Quinn was drafted, the Browns fans immeaditely wanted him to start. The coach at that time was Romeo Crennel. He choose to go with the more experienced Anderson, and what a decision that was. Anderson threw for a career high 29 TD's. Quinn watched and learned, while he rode the bench. Browns fans were happy, but were still upset that Quinn was not starting. Last year the Browns struggled, fans were unhappy, and finally Brady got his chance to shine. He started his first NFL game. He started a few games during the season and completed 45-89 passes, for a grand total of 518yards, and 2 TD's Wow, and people say he's supposed to be good. So for a highly totuted QB coming out of college, and a fan favorite when drafted, Brady's grand total of stats are 48-97 passing, for 563 yards and 2 TD's.
Great player in Quinn. NOT HE SUCKS! We're just fortunate in Pittsburgh to have Ben Roethlisberger
