Quinn's college career shouldn't be ignored though. Taken with a grain of salt, perhaps, considering that a large portion of college performance is a non-indicator, but it still should be a factor in the argument.

IMO, the Mark Schlereth-patented "we don't know what he can do yet" is tired (and it's more of a pet peeve of mine than a criticism). Of course we don't know. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't make an educated guess.

Anyway, I think the fact that we created more than 5 posts on a Brady Quinn vs. Todd Collins debate proves that the offseason is not quite over just yet :D

Nothing wrong with making an educated guess, that's part of the game when evaluating players. but at the same time personally I lean more towards going with what I know vs. what I think I know.
