There's a huge perception among fans in Cleveland that Brady Quinn is a quality starting quarterback in the NFL. Fueling this fire is Charlie Weis and his evaluation of Quinn. But what Weis thinks, and what others who worked for and with Weis at New England think, are vastly different. And no matter how close they may be, there's nothing that Weis can say to change their mind. In fact, when Josh McDaniels was on the staff at New England, the Patriots did not have Quinn very high on their board, regardless of the wisdom stemming from Weis' evaluation. Taking this one step further, there were some well-respected personnel men in the NFL who did not want to take the Browns job (prior to Eric Mangini becoming the main man) because they didn't feel Quinn could be the starter. The expectations of the fans with regard to Quinn are enormous, and sometimes this can burden a franchise.
Salty's Thoughts: If you're an NFL GM, Coach, Scout, you shouldn't allow yourself to be "sold" by a College Coach. My 2 cents.
