Brady Quinn: Too much muscle?


Maybe I missed something, but I never heard anyone say the following about Brady Quinn when he was with the Browns. If it's true, it might explain his lack of success in Cleveland or his subsequent stops.

From today's Plain Dealer, by Tony Grossi:

Hey, Tony: If the Browns are going to go with the West Coast offense, don't you think that Brady Quinn would have been a better fit than Colt McCoy? Quinn is bigger and has a better arm for Cleveland weather. He can throw long, proven in the Detroit game. Who made the decision to trade Quinn? Holmgren or Mangini? -- Ernie, Columbus, Ohio
Hey, Ernie: I don't agree at all. McCoy is a better fit than Quinn in the West Coast offense -- or any system. To me, Quinn was too obsessed with body building and appeared too tight to make all the throws. It was strictly Holmgren's call to trade Quinn.
