Did this news deserve an exclamation mark at the end of it?

maybe gary was excited. or maybe he likes exclamation points.

by the way, whats the diff between a point and a mark?. you can't call a ? a question mark or question point. how come you can with a !? hmmmmm

Hmmm, remember all those fans who wanted TT to draft Quinn because he was a sure thing and Rodgers would never amount to anything.

Actually...I don't remember anyone wanting TT to draft Quinn.

I do...

wow, that's shocker

not only was patler wrong about something(very rare), but he was really wrong about something

[Joemailman]

Well I wasn't one of those who wanted TT to draft Quinn. Phew! I sure didn't think Quinn would be a bust though. Sure am glad TT took Justin Harrell instead!

Avtually, I wanted Dwayne Bowe.

I think it just goes to show how much of a crapshoot the draft really is.

Also, who's to say that Quinn wouldn't have turned out better if he didn't end up in an environment as diseased as the one they had in Cleveland during his tenure?

[Joemailman]

I remember the Sporting News having Quinn rated much lower than most. Had him rated a 3rd round value I believe. They did predict he would be picked much sooner than that though.

[HarveyWallbangers]

At least, Patler wasn't as wrong as wist.

I haven't watched much of him...

I'm pretty well convinced that Rodgers can't play though - so QB has to be their #1 need.

Wonder what Partial would say. He sure has a tough time evaluating QBs.

I think Brady is going to be a good quarterback. He'll be a top 7 starter in the league in a few years.

As bad as those topics looks, Rodgers certainly did NOT look like a stud his first 2 years which is as many as Quinn has been in the league right?

I think Quinn has been in the league for 3 years. Big difference though. Rodgers barely played--except in mopup duty for a couple of games. Quinn has been given chances to win the starting job, and has failed to hold onto it.

I believe I was one of the ones clamoring for the trade with Cleveland - drop down and pick up an extra #1 the following year? Wow. Can't believe Thompson didn't do it.

[pack4to84]

If Quinn drops to 16 pick there is no way TT passes on him. He reminds me of a Tom Brady type QB.

Wow was I ever wrong.

its not just because he's on a bad team.

for as big as he is, he's got a weak arm. it takes forever for his ball to get to the sideline. thats'a a killer in the nfl

Quinn was also thrust into games right away. There is a big difference between how Rodgers got to start his career sitting for 3 years and Quinn. This is like people saying Alex Smith sucks and the 49ers should have taken Rodgers with the first pick that year. But had they done that and thrown Rodgers into the mix, he probably would have sucked too.

Not really. Quinn didn't play until the final week of his rookie season. He didn't play until week 10 of his second season. I think the Packers developed Rodgers the right way, but ultimately you fail or succeed because you are either good enough or not. The Browns afforded Quinn more time than most first round QBs get nowadays. Flacco and Ryan proved you can succeed as a rookie. Even though his stats weren't great, Stafford showed a lot more in his rookie season than Quinn has in three years.

Have you seen Quinn play? Personally, he hasn't shown me anything. By his second preseason, I'd seen enough from Rodgers to be excited about his future. By his third preseason, I was pretty sure he'd be a good QB. Quinn isn't that mobile. His arm isn't that strong. He doesn't even appear to be overly accurate.

I wonder how responsible McCarthy's QB school was for Rodgers development.
