Like the guy doesn't know he sucks? What's the point of making fun of the second string QB? That's like making fun of a 30 year old in the minors... he, like probably already knows what you're saying and agrees.

He went to Notre Dame and is kind of a brat. There is nothing wrong with poking at a former Rival to me.

And how we gonna downgrade the Tom Brady comment? Come on now fellas.

As a Cleveland Browns season ticket holder I can tell you that the hype and excitement around here was pretty high for Mr. Quinn.  I know it seems unbelievable but a few years ago we thought we had an embarrassment of riches at the QB slot with Derek Anderson and Quinn only to find out they both sucked.

I don't wish him any ill will.  He seemed like a pretty good guy who just wasnt as good as everybody thought he was.  And yes....I'm sure he knows that too.

Never understood the distaste for Quinn as a person; he was a mediocre QB, but that really wasn't his fault.  I thought the article was somewhat funny, but in the low-hanging fruit sort of the way.  Making Quinn sound like a jerk, when by all accounts he isn't, just seems petty.  Yes, he is very muscular and looks more like a model playing football than an actual QB, but that isn't his fault.  He competed reasonably well at ND, but it was the NFL and the fans that somehow thought a guy with an average arm and meh accuracy was going to become a star in the NFL just becuase he can fill out a jersey well and comes from a once-proud football program.
