Well yeah. Until that time, I'll be loving a top 5 pick in next year's draft.

Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Kyle Boller to name a few, and you can go ahead and add Brady Quinn to this list.
Why's that?
Because he is not going to live up to the hype thats why.
Man I would be pissed big time if this guy goes on to have a hall of fame stint. We (Ravens) were this close to getting him and Cleveland traded Dallas I think for him and moved up and got him. With the problem we had with QB's... Man I would be pissed!!![]()
I wouldn't worry about it man.
I wouldn't want to disrespect any of those guys name listed and put Boller in the same sentence. Leaf, Couch, Smith (not sure about Smith and Carr) were at the very least Heisman canidates. Granted Billick didn't help matters none by throwing him to the wolves in his first year.
Not talking about their careers in college, just how they fared in the NFL.
It's funny how people were saying that about Peton Manning.
Don't compare Quinn to Manning. That is just stupid. 22 teams didn't pass on Manning now did they. And don't say all those 22 teams had their QB problems solved and thats why they passed on Quinn. If those teams thought they were getting a Peyton Manning, they would'nt of passed on Quinn. Cowboys made the right move here.
So if he slipped so far in the draft, then how does he have a lot of hype?
That's what boggles my mind. ESPN and all these writers cover him more than any other draft pick this past year.
So, if those 22 teams didn't have their QB problems solved, why didn't they draft any QB, regardless of Quinn??
And, I can compare Manning to Quinn because they both had stellar numbers in college and they both came up short in big games.
The Cowboys made a good pick, but if Romo doesn't pan out . . . we will regret the move.
You know damn well Carr was a good qb, but he didnt have a line. Now he is s shocked!!
I think that was the main reason because he did fall so far. Didn't Leinart get alot of attention the year before when he fell to like 15 or something?
Very few of those teams have a QB in place to build around. The other teams obviously didn't value Quinn that much after extensively evaluating him and thats why they passed. If you want to talk about numbers in college then go ahead and throw in any Texas Tech QB over the past 5 years and compare him to Manning. They have really good numbers just like Manning, but we all know there is a big difference between them and Manning........But anyway, Romo will pan out and will have another Pro-Bowl year.
You really aren't making sense at all.
You can't see past the Manning of now vs. the Manning of then.
Brady Quinn and Peton Manning got the same amount of hype and they both put up great numbers in college, and they both choked in big games as well.
That's all I'm saying.
Did I say that he's already as good as Manning??? No. But, you obviously have trouble reading.
But, according to some here, Leinart sucks.
Whatever.
that's mainly because of jgw. it will be interesting to see how he fares this year. depends a lot on his line though. they were terrible last year.
He really wasn't all that bad last year.
He showed flashes of brilliance, but he did look like a rook last year . . . because he was a rook.
He'll be a very good quarterback.
No 22 teams didnt pass on Manning, but the Colts almost took Leaf, so that should tell you something.
Just because a guy gets passed up in the draft automatically means he sucks?
What about guys like Bulger and Brady? How many teams passed on them?
My sentiments exactly.
same can be said for Couch. Couch wasn't a bad QB, he was just ruined both physically and mentally by getting sacked 6 times a game and not having anyone to throw a ball to. Now he has a shoulder hurt so bad it is beyond repair.
