Let me reiterate that I don't think Quinn will ever pan out largely because he doesn't pocess the prototypical big frame and arm that mostly all nfl teams go for now. It used to be up until a few years ago that college qbs were largely and dare i say solely measured by their achievements and numbers put up in college. This led to some horrendous qb draft decisions, and now with the success of more early qb picks in recent years it seems that the emphasis is finally in the right place, arm strength and most importantly ability to read pass coverage. Guys like Quinn, Leinart, Russell, etc all were surrounded by such great athletes their whole college career that they were thus able to have a tremendous amount of time in the pocket, and almost unlimited options in front of them. Far from the way it works in the NFL. Anyway that's my personal belief that has thus proven true for the most part. Quinn may become a serviceable nfl qb, but I think he in no way shape or form warranted a first round pick, as most other teams did. He probably wouldn't even have been taken in the first round and been a mid 2nd rounder had they not stepped up.
