Brady Quinn must think he is Touchdown Jesus... August 2, 2007

You know, I don’t know exactly what to think on the Brady Quinn issue. Well, that’s not entirely true– I tend to believe he is a whiny little bitch, possibly even whinier than Eli “Mama’s boy” Manning. But you can see where, well, being such a rabid Trojan fan and all, my derision towards a former Notre Dame player might not be taken all that seriously.
But seriously. He was drafted 22nd and he’s what, a week into his completely ridiculous holdout why? Who does he think he is? Matt Leinart? Vince Young? Eli “Mama’s Boy” Manning? Really, Brady? Really? Did all the hair product and blow drying of your flowing brunette locks fry your brain a little bit? You Are Brady Quinn, 22nd draft pick, you are NOT, I repeat, NOT Touchdown Jesus.
It’s like he thinks he was drafted somewhere in the first ten picks and deserves that kind of money. Delusional. Did no one tell him he would be competing with Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson for the starting QB position on the Browns? Does he not realize if he holds out much longer he will be so far behind that the starting QB job could not realistically be his before mid-season?
Does it seem like I care? Oh, I assure you, I do not. lol I am just baffled by the behavior, by the ego, the blatant rampant arrogance on display here. There must be some sort of strategy behind it. And if I were not so tired right now, I might spend some time wondering what Quinn’s nefarious plan is. Because I am cunning like that, and can appreciate plans - especially those of the nefarious variety.
I just have a feeling this is not going to work out to his advantage if playing time this season is his goal. But maybe it’s not.
Maybe, like the Bears and Thomas Jones, there is more there than meets the eye. Cedric Benson is being paid the big money and Benson and Jones didn’t get along, therefore, Jones is traded away. Now that makes a hell of a lot more sense than just the “T. Jones released by Bears” that came out in the press earlier in the Spring. Or thinking back to the Eli Manning/San Diego Chargers fiasco. Well, being a Chargers fan, I still have ire over the whole “I won’t play for S.D.” (liberally paraphrasing here, lol) behind the scenes dealings with the Giants stuff. And YAY for San Diego, Brees had a kick ass season, Rivers is shaping up awesome and I bow at the altar of LaDanian Tomlinson. But I still think Eli is a whiny little bitch for the whole thing.
I digress, though. I blame the benedryl. There is more here than meets the eye. Even this die-hard Trojan can’t believe Quinn’s holdout is out of sheer stupidity. After all, unlike Vince Young, Quinn passed the Wonderlic test.
-Your Gridiron Goddess, so EXCITED it is AUGUST and weekends of FOOTBALL, nothing but FOOTBALL are right around the corner!
