it’s interesting to me that you can see how flawed Colt’s ‘09 team was, forget to mention that he played with ALL TIME UNDENIABLE badasses like Jamaal Charles, Earl Thomas, Brian Orakpo, etc, but not see the flawed personnel around Quinn. Hell that ‘09 team had Justin Tucker behind Hunter Lawrence.
Bullshit thought exercise time!
Swap Lawrence for Bert? ‘09 team loses B12 Championship to Nebraska (and possibly loses the OU game). ‘24 team wins the SEC Championship, plays on the other side of the bracket, and likely plays in the national championship game… OR swap the ‘23 offensive personnel with ‘24 and we easily beat Ohio State to win the championship… OR what if Quinn went pro after last season? how differently would he be remembered?
Is he has good as Colt? No. He’s not as accurate, as mobile, or as good a leader. But he may end up having the same sort of long NFL backup career.
