Definitely Quinn.... c'mon, it's just a case of being in the right system..... I'm convinced Charlie Weiss could make ME an average QB! He took a good QB in Quinn and made him LOOK great.... no one wanted to risk the francise on a QB that hasn't performed on the big stage (Previous two bowl appearances!).

He's going to be thrown to the wolves in Cleveland... and not even Joe Thomas can save his ass!

i think quinn's chance at being the biggest bust were remarkably reduced when he became clevelands 2nd pick of the 1st round. had he gone at #3... it would be a bit different.

Nonetheless Coach... he's still one of the most overhyped players in the draft! Every analyst as said it, and now we've seen most draft boards reflected it. The Unfortunate fact is that he's pretty, and the media's darling which will make his fall ryan leif (sp/) like... just not the same extent!
