Is Brady Quinn Being Selfish By Holding Out?

I will say this. Troy Smith was every bit as good a college QB as Brady Quinn, if not better. What does Brady Quinn do better than Troy Smith?

Well, that's a entirely different argument right there. But in a nutshell, just from a physical standpoint, Brady is more of a pro-style quarterback than Troy Smith.

Has height, unlike Smith. Is a good NFL prospect, unlike Smith.

Troy Smith had a better 2006 season than Quinn and deserved the Heismann. But when comparing their careers, its not even close. Brady Quinn was better in every season prior to 2006 than Smith. Every one. That's called sample size.

It's reasonable to say if the 2006 NCAA season was done over again, Quinn would probably have the better season. When theres only 13 games to be played, anything can happen.

I think part of the reason Smith wasn't a great prospect was because it was, ya know, too little too late. One great season does not a prospect make. Ask Akili Smith.

The first team that was willing to even spend a pick on him was Baltimore with the last pick in the 5th round. At that point, hes a great value. But as they say, you get what you pay for (most of the time).

So why is Quinn better? Just cause he threw it all over the place does not make him better. He just played in a pass heavy offense.

Is Quinn a better pro prospect becasue he is 6'3? That does not make him better, just taller.. From what I saw, Smith can make every throw Quinn can make. OSU ran lots of spread formations, 4-5 WR sets and Smith was making all the NFL throws from the pocket. So again, why is he being downgraded by scouts? Is it because of his height? If so that is ridicules.
