Are You Ready for Brady Quinn to Win the MVP?

Look, I know I have beaten this to death, but I just went on ESPN.com to see if Palko got drafted. What do I see on the draft page? A front page article about Brady Quinn. Under that? An article about how Quinn dealt with disappointment. What about up top? An advertisement for a draft magazine that has Brady Quinn on the front. Am I missing something here? I could have sworn there were 254 other kids drafted last weekend. Why don't we talk about which players have legitimate shots at starting jobs for their teams? How about, which late-round players have potential to be huge surprises like Marques Colston or even Tom Brady?
Like I have said before... Quinn is a decent QB at best, who made very little progress from Willingham to Weis to graduation. He also had 2 great COLLEGE wide receivers, and a capable running back who should have stayed in college. Yes they had line issues. But the line doesn't always make the QB make poor decisions once the ball is snapped. Whether or not Brady Quinn will succeed is anybody's guess, just like with all 254 other players, but give me a break here. Just because its a cute story that he was drafted by his hometown team doesn't make me want to crown him emperor of the league yet.
