Do you think Brady Quinn will be viewed differently by the NFL after ND's loss to USC?

if anything he will be viewed as a quarterback that uses the most with nothing...the guy has one player on that ENTIRE offense that could even sniff the NFL...if he was on a team with more weapons on offense we are not only talking about a multiple heisman winner, but also one of the greatest qb's of all time...but since neither of those has happened...i still think he will be the top qb taken...look at guys like joey harrington and alex smith and even david carr...true they aren't the greatest qb's in the NFL...but they did a lot with nothing to make HUGE names for themselves

Well he is a hero and thats what heros do. I think it will be a hard year for the pack to adjust to new coach. They will do better as the season progresses, and will have a chance depending on how the rest of the division goes.

A fluke?  I never called them a "flook."\n\nIt's still way too early, but in the pathetic NFC, I think they will have a playoff spot.  They are playing a last place schedule, but they're making the most of it.\n\nNot a fluke, but still overacheiving on that defense.\n\nI think Drew Brees made all the difference.  I had forgotten what a clown Aaron Brooks was/is.

Bill Walsh was 2-14 his first year and 6-10 his second year before he won his first Lombardi in his third year.  Nolan is in his second year as head coach, so we'll see if history can repeat itself.  I'm a die hard niner fan, but I don't expect them to get in this year.  I'm just happy to see them improve from the past season.  Get another marquee player or two on defense and we'll see.  I'm hopeful though.

Of course, he'll come through..there hasn't been a year when he didn't produce on the field...Just cause he caused so many problems before doesnt mean that he will do it again...plus it's not like he's such a bad guy...other football players beat their wifes or are caught doing drugs(onterrio smith),and lets not forget the love boat whore house over their in minnesota(daunte)...T.O. doesn't do any of those things. \nI think the cowboys have the best team in the east this year and a huge reason is because of him.

yeah, but not in college, or the nfl, and face it it's for the better, how would you feel with brian urlacher coming at you, second thought that sounds kinda good....never mind, lost all train of thought :)

I think the correct answer to that is "Or what".  I think this is gonna be a close game.  Both teams have had good seasons this year.  While ND's secondary struggles, their front line is pretty good.  I do believe they played really well against some team ummm USC?  And would have beaten them with a correct spot.  But oh well....

Hard to say.  Maybe a Quarterback change is a good idea.

well, with vinateri gone, the patriots dont have a clutch kicker anymore...plus they havent done much to fix last yrs awful defense...as long as tedy buschi is ok and tom brady returns to his dominant form, i expect them to win their division, but probably not the superbowl

Notre Dame last play of the game Quinn gets pushed over the goal line by Walker to win the game.  Notre Dame wins the game, its to date the biggest game that Booty has played in and I believe that they will be playing from behind almost the whole game.  I know that its at USC, and typically its packed with fans of USC I dont think that USC is going to be able to handle a crowd that is more like 50-50 at home its something that they havent had to deal with in years past escept when play UCLA.  Notre Dame by 17

I think Tom Brady is alot more banged up than the Patriots are letting on.  They probably aren't comfortable with Matt Cassell as the back-up, because he hasn't started a game since he was a high-school QB.  Vinny was with Belichick in Cleveland and knows his system.\n\nFor more on the Patriots and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

I would like it, but doubt ND will get put in the bid light, given the poor responses in media to 'how' their wins have piled up.  seems like a double standard to me, as i can point to plenty of teams that have relatively fallen apart in the last three weeks while nd still gets their wins + no love.  but hey, charlie's gonna be around for awhile.  ::grin::

Quick note. I am a USC fan. I think they will do very well, but you have to take into consideration what happened a couple of weeks ago at the draft. This is a list of people that USC lost in the 2006 Draft Reggie Bush,Matt Leinart, Winston Justice,Taitusi Latui, LenDale White, Dominique Byrd, Fred Matua and David Kirtman. Ok lets see they lost there QB their top 2 running backs and their full back. They lost 3 of their 5 offensive lineman. Im sorry but i dont know how they are going to do it. and dont get me started with thier defense. I think UCLA is going to tank also. The team that i give a legit chance of winning the title is CAL because they have their spectacular runningback comming back(Marshon Lynch) this year and Joey Ayoob. But then thats just me

I was somewhat disappointed.  I just wish Parcells and the rest of the team would get their act together and get back to winning superbowls like they did when Jimmy was there.  It's not all about 1 coach, it's a team effort when it comes to winning games.

Considering he's the most likely first pick...\n\nThe 2-9 teams:\nArizona would pass as they have Lienert.\nOakland certainly would take him as they haven't had a rookie phenom at quarterback as long as I can recall.\nDetroit could take him as well.  Kitna and McCown aren't exactly high profile QBs with future potential.\n\nThe 3-8 teams:\nHouston has Carr, and that offense is starting to work.  I suspect they'd draft defense again.\nCleveland has Frye...not certain they're ready to end that experiment yet.\nTampa has a couple of young options after Gradowski has played well, so doubtful here as well.\n\nBest guess, Quinn will end up either a Raiders or a Lion.  Hopefully neither of those organizations will kill him.

Since when is Rex Grossman an established NFL QB?  Let's see him stay on the field for a full season first before we make any judgements as to his ability.  Their defense is good but it's not like their '85 team which truly was one of the best ever.  Given the weakness of the NFC North, however, they should repeat as division champs.

He is no One Year Wonder.  He has had 4 years to sit back, learn everything about every play, every player, every situation that he needs to know about.  He will not be the next Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or any other QB,  He will be Tony Romo.  He will be the guy who came in everyday to practice, and practiced like he was playing in the biggest game of his life.  He will be the guy who waited for his turn to shine and never looked back.  Every player eventually has a bad game or a slump, its about how you deal with it and with the team you lead, that sets you apart from great QB before you.  He has the potential to be one of the best, and right now there is no reason for him no to be.
