I'm sure when Brady Quinn stepped into Radio City Music Hall in 2007 as a top quarterback prospect, he never pictured his career would have turned out the way it has. The mistakes he made in Cleveland were monumental, from not signing until training camp was almost over, to his numerous on field blunders once he did finally get a shot to run the offense.
Quinn's career since has seen it's fair share of indignities as well. From backing up Tim Tebow in Denver to his pitiful play in Kansas City, Quinn hasn't made much of an impact for a guy who was holding out for a top five draft pick money, despite dropping well out of the top of that 2007 draft. But this post is about a couple other bad decisions Quinn has made since then.
The sign he was holding in the above picture originally said "Brady Quinn does not have Myspace," making this his "proof picture." After a bit of research I discovered that a "proof picture" is something a person does whenever someone on social media posts pictures of them without their prior consent. This is done to prove their identity to people online. This is extremely typical behavior of a hipster teenage girl, not grown men who are employed by a NFL franchise.
But ironically Quinn has put his name into the hat for a job that could very easily be won by a teenage girl at this point. Starting quarterback for the New York Jets. So far Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Greg McElroy, and Graham Harrell have all tried and failed to get the nod as the man in the Big Apple. Hopefully for Brady's sake Rex Ryan has a soft spot for boyish good looks, and social media legitimacy.
