On the WWL front page, the caption accompanying this article reads, "Brady Quinn defies anyone to point to something that he hasn't done."
Let's help him by making our own list. Please point to something Brady Quinn has not done. Extra Credit: The article headline reads, "Quinn confused by plummeting draft stock." What else, in your own words, confuses Brady Quinn?
What hasn't Brady done? Hmm, let's see:
Win a national championship?
Go to a national championship?
Win a bowl game?
Win a conference title?
Win a Heisman?
I understand that you come from Notre Dame, and no doubt feel absolutely entitled to have the world handed to you on a silver platter on sheer merit of your pedigree and thick brunette locks, but don't set me up with such an easy and obvious way to totally deflate your ego. This is not to diminish your accomplishments: you are, after all, the MSNBC.com MVP of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and we all know the prestige that an award like that carries.
Bottom line? You're a good quarterback, but you're not a leader, and you should not do anything to invite comparison between your resume and that of Jamarcus Russell. Actually, you know who you increasingly remind me of? Tim Couch, another great QB with amazing statistics who never won any of the big important things. The difference is that Couch never had an attitude about it, and even that didn't save him.

Brady Quinn never meant that much to you
To hear that tears him up inside
And to see you cuts him like a knife
I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Brady Quinn has never danced with the devil by the pale moonlight.

Brady Quinn has never scored on Marty Broduer
Posted by: Baba Oje at February 28, 2007 09:25 PMI think it's important to point out that my blasting him for not winning a conference championship was not made out of ignorance--I'm from the SEC, and we know that Notre Dame cheats its way through life without playing in a conference--but rather as a snide judgment on Quinn for failing to play on a real team that actually earns its bowl berth by its conference play record and conference championship. I should have clarified.
