"He's the biggest fraud in the draft," an NFL scout says of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. The scout is not a lone wolf howling into the wind.Of all the risers and fallers on this year's draft charts, Quinn certainly is the most provocative. He entered his senior season as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow--a seemingly brilliant quarterback with near-ideal size (6-3, 225), textbook form and, thanks to the teachings of Charlie Weis, an unmatched pedigree. He was the No. 1 overall pick in waiting--at the least a sure bet to be the top QB taken. But the book on Quinn is being rewritten.Quinn has an excellent chance to be selected in the first round--many still have him pegged for the top 10--but he is on a slippery slope. The Pro Football War Room lists his NFL comparison as Joey Harrington. Two scouts who cover Notre Dame for NFL teams believe Quinn should be a third- or fourth-round pick. They represent an extreme point of view, but they have studied Quinn's game at close range for years and are part of a growing group of talent evaluators who question his arm strength and accuracy on deep and intermediate routes.The most surprising criticism: Some scouts say Quinn--often painted as the perfect leader during his time in South Bend--wilts when the going gets tough. Ironically, Quinn has been passed on most draft boards by LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, who faced unrelenting criticism in college for wilting when the going got tough.Russell is 6-6, 260, with an arm as strong as any in the NFL. No matter what he shows in individual workouts, he'll have that arm and scouts will froth. Quinn likely will be highly selective with his workouts, and when he does perform for scouts, he'll be under intense pressure. It's a difficult and unexpected reality for a 22-year-old who played with such grace--and guts--in his college career.The scouting season has reached a furious boil. Sadly, Quinn's goose may be cooking.</div>http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=176563
While I tend to agree with them, him falling out of the first round isn't going to happen. He is the biggest fraud since Aaron Rodgers though.
I just hope to god that someone picks him before the vikings.. I don't want to end up with that overrated idiot.
Vilma, how can you call Aaron Rodgers a fraud, when hes played in a total of what, 2 games?How can you sit there, at your computer, and type out Aaron Rodgers is a fraud, when he has yet to be given even the slightest chance to show anything. He is learning from one of the best. I dont understand your reasoning there.

He sucks, just like you and that retarded Alex Smith sig, another first round bust.
Weren't some people condidering Phillip Rivers a bust before this year because he neever got playing time?

Those "people" were idiots if they were. And yeah pretty much everyone who's watched rodgers play or practice has called him a bust.

That guy sucks more than Rodgers.</div>haha explain how?He started 7 games, just as many as Alex Smith his first year, at least Jason threw more TDs than INT's, your boy smith threw 10 more interceptions than he did his one TD.I'd wait and see how Jason does over the course of an entire season before you call him a bust. He really impressed me.

If Brady fell all the way to the Ravens, as much as I dislike him, I wouldn't mind us taking him.Doubt it'll happen though. Still think he won't fall past the top 10. Kinda like Leinart last year.
Alex Smith's first season:9 Games played, 7 started1 TD, 11 INT875 yards, 50.9 comp %40.8 ratingThat's not a bust?
