Injury Report Data

These link to the industry's best IRs. These are the sites that Stegman goes to, in order, if/when he's obsessing about data on the status of an injury.

Contract

Signed a five-year, $9.125 million contract in 2007 that included $7.75 million guaranteed.  Another $11 million was available if Quinn took more than 55% of the snaps in each of his 1st two years or at least 70% in his 3rd season (this season).  So with that on the line, Quinn will be motivated to step up:

2009 - $655,000

2010 - $700,000

2011 - $700,000

2012 - Free Agent

Not the Best

Brady Quinn is not even the best football player in his family, which isn't shocking after a quick peek at his NFL stat-line.  No, the title belongs to his sister's husband, Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk, who would beat up Quinn any day in the backyard Thanksgiving touch football game (only problem is if you touch Quinn, he'll crumble quicker than coffee cake). The low point for Brady came on draft day, when he sat in the Green Room for hours longer than he expected for his name to be called.  Once projected to be the first pick overall, the Browns probably felt fortunate that he was sitting there at #22.  Wonder how they are feeling now?  Notre Dame can only do so much for you.

 

His Game

Admittedly, and we say this with clenched teeth, Quinn has some game. He did win the Maxwell Award as the nation's top college football player (but he shouldn't have). He did set numerous passing records from the school that brought us Joe Montana. However, over two years in the NFL, he's played in four games, thrown as many TDs as INTs (two) and sports a 65.8 QB rating.  In other words, the guy has so far validated the 21 GMs that took a pass on him in the 2007 draft.

 

Huge Bust

Quinn was quoted by the Onion before the 2007 NFL Draft allegedly saying:

"While it's true I have impressive arm strength, and that I'm willing to stand up in the pocket against the rush, the fact remains that my lack of downfield accuracy gets me in trouble on the deep throws and my field vision is suspect," Quinn told draft evaluators from the Raiders, Browns, and Cardinals."Combine that with the enormous starting bonus I'll receive and the tendency for teams to try and develop quarterbacks long after they should give up, and I really just have 'bust' written all over me."

Could this be why he spent so much time in the Green Room?

 

2009 Fantasy Outlook

Quinn was named the starter midway through the 2008 season, but then broke the tip of his finger, needed surgery, and was out the rest of the year. In comes new coach Eric Mangina-ini, and immediately he declares an open quarterback competition between former Pro-Bowl QB Derek Anderson and former longest-time-a-guy-spent-in-the-green-room QB Brady Quinn. Mangini said he won't decide until the last pre-season game who is going to start, but did indicate in June that Quinn had the early edge. Regardless, Quinn won't be a huge fantasy factor in 2009. Given that he spent his rookie season watching Derek Anderson pretend to be a pro-bowl QB, and then got injured three games into taking over once Anderson's charade was exposed, the unknown combined with his college credentials make him a late round flier.
