1.    Quinn doesn't have the cannon that DA does, but his arm strength is probably no worse than slightly above average.  He probably can't throw a 45 yard rope to hit someone on a deep post, but he can make all the throws he has to.

2.    This comes with the disclaimer that Quinn has only seen college defenses.  In his last 2 years at ND Quinn really learned how to read defenses.  He would regularly change the play at the line when he had to.  He rarely threw into heavy coverage.  He never looked like he was locked in on receivers and appeared to always know who would be where.

3.    Re: interceptions.  Quinn was one of the better college QB's at avoiding INT's.  He set a school record with something like 160 attempts without a pickoff.  Part of the reason is what I said in #2.  I think that the interceptions Quinn threw were less of the `stupid throw' variety than of the `slightly bad throw'.  That is, it seemed a lot of his picks came on balls that were a bit behind or above a receiver who couldn't quite get his hands on the ball and it was tipped to a waiting defender.  Quinn was good at throwing the ball where only his man could catch it.  But sometimes he did that too much and would overthrow someone on a deep ball or lead a guy too much and put the ball a step ahead of him.  

4.    I think this is a matter of a QB getting
in rhythm.  Quinn usually would start games well, though 2006 saw some problems.  I'm sure some of that was due to the high expectations and some big game jitters (e.g. Quinn's underwhelming games against Ga. Tech, Michigan and Southern Cal last year).  This is one you can't know about Quinn until he plays on Sundays.

5.    Quinn runs about as well as you will see from a quarterback who is not "a running quarterback".  He moves well and has good speed for a guy at his position.

6.    To my observation, the throws Quinn is worst at are to backs in the flat.  Not necessarily screen passes; he seemed to do fine on those.  I mean plays where the back runs wide then turns upfield and is meant to catch the ball in stride.  Quinn often seemed to overthrow those balls when even something close would have been at least a few yards.  He usually did a great job hitting his guy in the numbers on slants and short crosses.  He did seem to lose a lot of accuracy when throwing on the run, often sailing the ball over someone's head.

7.    Ditto for Quinn, and he had that same connection with his OC (who also happened to be the head coach).  I can see Quinn and Chud being on the same page like that and something really special resulting.  Quinn had great chemistry with his receivers and it looked like that affected the results on the field.  I look at what he did with TE's like Fasano and Carlson and get really excited about the possibilities of him throwing to K2.  Also, despite the perception of Brady Quinn as a pretty boy he really is a team player and was a great representative of the University of Notre Dame.  

8.    Um, Quinn is like a year younger?  Dunno how much age matters.  

9.    Last year at ND Quinn WAS the offensive strategy.  The O-Line played worse and worse around him as the year went by, the Irish running game was especially unreliable.  Quinn was getting hit and sacked a lot, and he still put up a great year.  I think he will fit in fine.  Weis completely changed the offense when he came in, and Quinn was able to quickly grasp it and thrive in it.  I think Chud will be able to identify what Quinn can do and incorporate him into the offense well.  One last thing is that, unlike almost all big time college QB's making the transition to the NFL, Quinn will probably have MORE time in the pocket b/c ND's O-line was bad for its level and the Browns' is better.  Same goes for the run game around him.
