I think it is obvious that Russell has the most talented throwing arm in college football. No one even comes close in arms strength and throwing velocity. However, since Russell has not proven himself in big games really as of yet and sometimes makes poor choices he will not be the 1st QB taken in the draft. It it was only based on talent and arms strength Russell would be #1 but there are two many things to question about him.
Quinn makes faster reads than Russell, Quinn is quick in the pocket and less likely to get sacked when compared to Russell. Also Quinn seems to be more of a leader and has a better on field demeanor and attitube than Russell.
Russell gets frustrated to easily and doesn't always seem to have control of his team. He is a great player just not elite, as of yet that is.
