Ten reasons for why JaMarcus Russell is a better college QB then Brady Quinn and will also be a better pro QB. Oakland, are you listening?

1.  Record as a starter:

JaMarcus Russell: 24-4
- Eight come-from-behind wins in the fourth quarter or overtime

Brady Quinn: 29-16
- 0-4 against USC
- 0-3 in bowl games
- Embarrassing loss against Michigan

2. Competition:

JaMarcus Russell:

- Had to win the starting job through an open competition his junior season. Beat out talented backup QB Matt Flynn and Ryan Perrilloux, the top high school QB prospect in 2005.

Brady Quinn:

Carlyle Holiday????

3. Heart

JaMarcus Russell:

Had to lead an LSU team post Hurricane Katrina.

JaMarcus the jewel: Heroic QB leads LSU vs. Auburn in top-10 battle

"Then there are his good deeds out of uniform: the 20 people he housed for a month in his apartment after Hurricane Katrina, including his girlfriend's grandfather, otherwise known as Fats Domino; the green bracelet that reads "Donate Life" to show support for organ and tissue donors, in honor of his uncle Ray Ray Russell, who needs a heart transplant."

Brady Quinn:

In the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl last year against Ohio State, Quinn had to play against A.J. Hawk, who his sister was dating and later married.

4. Product of the System?

JaMarucs Russell:

Played under Nick Saban his first two years and then became a star under Les Miles, a supposedly "lesser" coach his sophomore and junior season.

Brady Quinn:

Struggled under Tyrone Willingham his first two years and blossomed under offensive guro Charlie Weiss.

5. Potential

JaMarcus Russell:

Has gotten better and better throughout his career as a passing quarterback. Had a higher QB rating then Troy Smith this season.

Brady Quinn:

May have slightly regressed in terms of numbers his senior season. Has he pulled a Matt Leinart.

6. Size/Strength

JaMarcus Russell:

6-6, 260 pounds. We will see how much he can bench press and squat during the combine.

Brady Quinn:

6-4, 227 pounds. He can bench press 350 pounds (160 kg), and squat 475 pounds (215 kg).

7. Mobility

JaMarcus Russell:

Not really mobile but his size makes him hard to sack and tackle. Charlie Weiss compared him to a young Daunte Culpepper, which could be good or bad. Russell is actually bigger then Culpepper.

Brady Quinn:

A good athlete however, nothing special compared to other NFL QB's.

8. Intelligence

JaMarcus Russell:

Made the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

Brady Quinn:

From wiki: has a double major of finance and political science. He will graduate in January of 2007 (in 3 and a half years). However, as we have found out with Vince Young and Michael Vick, "book smarts" is not really important to become a star QB.

9. Arm Strength:
