The NFLDraftguys staff is going to duke it out over the question of whether the most enigmatic players in the 2007 draft class will become their best or worse case scenario right up until the 32 NFL franchises show us their take on those players in Radio City Music Hall on April 28 and 29.

High Side by Sigmund Bloom

Brady Quinn has the longest list of positives of any QB in the draft:

• smooth over the top throwing motion
• good athlete
• fast enough to do some damage across the line of scrimmage
• good pocket awareness, senses pressure and moves to avoid it, while keeping play alive
• good decisiveness in pocket to leave and run when nothing is there
• Keeps his head up and ball in good throwing position while scrambling
• throws well on the run
• executes play fakes very well
• understands and executes a complex offense
• good footwork
• understands how to use his receivers height to his advantage (slightly overthrows tall receivers)
• generally hits receivers in stride and at chest level, allowing them to rack up YAC

There's more, but the point is, he has already demonstrated a lot of what you look for in a pro QB. It also helps that Charlie Weis is the #1 reference on Quinn's resume. The problem with Quinn is that we've seen that he wilts on the biggest stages. He doesn't melt down, like oh, Chris Simms at Texas, but he turns tentative. He doesn't "rise to the occasion". The reality is that those Notre Dame teams were vastly overmatched on those big stages. We are yet to see what Quinn can do when he's surrounded by elite athletes.

Low Side by Cecil Lammey

Brady Quinn can't win the big game. Whether it's against USC or LSU, when it matters the most Quinn fails to perform. Sure he can beat up on Air Force, but the talent level that he'll face in the NFL makes those smaller colleges look like pee-wee leagues. The pressure of big games really gets to Quinn, and it affects his decision making and his pocket presence. Before you know it he starts to fold like a house of cards and it's game over. What troubles some scouts and NFL GM's the most is that before Charlie Weis arrived in South Bend, Quinn really didn't do a lot. He had a near 50% completion percentage his first 2 years (pre-Weis). Coach Weis came over from the Patriots, where he molded Tom Brady, and worked some magic on Brady Quinn. When evaluating Quinn one also notices that his accuracy tends to trail off late in the game. Quinn is a good kid, and has all the measurables, but teams must proceed with caution when considering drafting him.
