Brady Quinn
 
at the NFL Combine, highly hyped Joe Thomas bench pressed 225 lbs 28 times. This guy is going to be one hell of a linemen.

Then you have Brady Quinn, who is a QB and bench pressed 225 lbs 24 times, which was more than a lot of linemen, most linemen actually. This guy is one hell of an athlete, a QB that strong, watch out, here he comes!

Cajun Gator, say overrated if you would like, but give him props for being a QB who lifted 225 lbs 24 times, just 4 less than this supposed BEAST of a linemen!

the REAL freak of the combine is calvin johnson wr from GT, 6'5" 240lbs. this guy showed up to interview only and saw how bad the 40 times were, barrowed a pair of shoes and legged out a 4.33 40 yd dash ! then went to the vertical jump and out jumped their measuring equipment!

Johnson biggest attribute might be that he has his
head on straight. Seems like a good person and
has some smarts

If a QB being strong and fast are the only important qualities the LSU QB will go before Quinn. Quinn lifting a lot of weight means nada. I still think Quinn will be a good QB but not because he is strong or fast.

Just once, I wish my name was Johnson and people were talking about my biggest attribute......:p

So he can bench more weight more times than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and that means??? and ???? and????

horseofcourse 02-26-2007 11:47 PM

HE may be a good NFL qb nonetheless, but that bench press crap is as maningful as the wonderlic.

IrishofNDMan 02-26-2007 11:53 PM

im not saying it means a lot, I'm just pointing out that it is very impressive, that is all. I know football, I know that means nothing about being a good QB, it is just very very very impressive, that's all!

the combine is over rated

SCUDSBROTHER 02-27-2007 05:13 AM

I think Quinn is a real tough competitor,and can make it in the NFL.He better not go to a team with a poor offensive line though.His decision-making, and footspeed are too slow for that.He is smart,and given enough time,he can make plays.If I had a decent offensive line,but the team lacked a certain "fire," then he would be somebody I would want on the team.Giants should take him.Let him learn for a year,and then kick Peyton's bro out of there.

success in the nfl today, is more about the "system", the team that drafts you runs. if you fit the system you, do well.

great example of this was jeff garcia. good qb with the 49ers (west coast offense), floats around abit and looks like his career is over. lands with the eagles and has a great year. andy reid learned the west coast offense with? the 49ers.

and if you don't believe that, ask LaVaar Arrington....imo one of the top 3 most dangerous defensive players (not considering the injury bug) and was basically demoted to 2nd string because he didn't fit into the system in Washington.....one of the reasons why the skins didn't come back this year as good as they were in '05....with a guy like Arrington, you fit the system around him....

KY_Sasquash 02-27-2007 08:15 AM

Im still waiting for Quinn to actually win a game that has meaning. The guy is yet to show up in any big games. He's overrated, just as Notre Dame has been the past few years-they were demolished in their last two BCS games by Ohio St and LSU.
