What evidence do I have to say otherwise? What I don't understand is why so many people simply assume Quinn will be amazing. You're right - it is an exact science, so there is no guarantee Quinn will be able to step in for Anderson if need be. I don't doubt he can become a good NFL quarterback, but as of right now, based off of what we know, we have to assume that Anderson is better. Nearly everyone on offense is returning - that will help everyone involved, including Anderson. Currently, there's no reason Quinn should be the starter, but we'll see what happens this season. I would say, however, that Anderson will probably have a much shorter leash. As far as Quinn's college record goes, it's just what I have to go off of. Also, even though it's "just" college, one has to at least take notice of his performance in big games. Well, why shouldn’t I say Anderson is better than Quinn right now?
