Is Russell really better than Quinn?

Vince Young played in a college style offense, is an unconventional scarmbling option qb that also threw the ball well, but made his living running the ball as a QB. Texas was not on national TV all that much and Vince was not a big media darling until after they USC, even though they beat OSU in Ohio. Texas plays in the much tougher Big 12 than the pass happy PAC 10.

I think that is a rather poor analogy, because by no means is Leinart a bad QB. Also Young came into a situation with a decent Titans D. If you are saying that Leinart was overrated that is wrong. He clearly is a good QB who played well last year on a bad team.

If anything he is an example of what Quinn will be. A good QB who is undervalued and will drop in the first round.

Quinn will be better than Russell in the NFL. You can hold me to that. I almost want to say Russell will be a bust which is not true, but I think he will perform far far lower than expectations.
