I don't get the venomous attitude some have about QE. One OTF host blasted him over the weekend, even before the Sunday game. Might as well pull out the list of UFAs and ridicule them for getting cut from the CFL and having to sell cars or coach middle school. Bobby keeps reeling people back with a "I wish the best for Quinn" while people pile on. I knew a Michigan fan back in the day bashing Tom Brady when he was drafted. Interestingly, stats were very similar:
Games played: TB - 29 QE - 37
Completion %: TB - 61.9 QE - 64.9
Pass TD/INT: TB - 30/17 QE - 68/24
Passing yards: TB - 4,773 QE - 9.128
Team record: TB - 20-5 QE - 33-10
NFL draft: TB - 6th QE - 7th
TB ended up being pretty good. Don't know if most Michigan fans hate on him for not winning a NC. I appreciate what QE did for Texas. Looking at the guys who left while he was here, could have been much, much worse. Quinn will probably be remembered for bringing Texas back from oblivion as a good college QB. If he's a career NFL backup making $1.2M a year, good for him. If people want to say he sucks, ok. That could be said of a lot of college or backup NFL QBs. Sam Howell/UNC, Malik Willis/Liberty, Taylor Heinicke/Old Dominion, Nick Mullens/Southern Miss, Tanner McKee/Stanford; all back-ups. Maybe they suck, I don't know. But maybe their college fan bases don't hate on them for it.
