Exactly. My previous post wasn't meant to demean Quinn at all actually. I just wanted to show that Quinn had much better credentials and potential than Forbes,so that comparison is speculative at best. Any unbiased opinion of Quinn says he totally wasted his talent, but since PR had a drink with him a few times, his jock-sniffing opinion is tainted.
I know your post wasn't demeaning Quinn. I was just providing accurate info, as he was more than good recruit for OK.
And for the record, I have had 100s of drinks with JD, and we are good friends. As I have posted, we went to the Hong Kong 7's rugby tourney together. I have dinner with him when he comes back to Missoula for Homecoming every year. He pays. I will be at his wedding this summer too.
Unbiased people may think he wasted his talent, but I don't think he does. He had a great time in Missoula. Met great friends. Would like to move back to MT sometime. Marrying a UM and U Va law school grad. He's successful, and maybe very successful, in his work so far. Making a good chunk of money, and probably much more than you. He's doing great in life.
