It has been reported numerous times on here that he admitted being told he needed corrective lenses and he was admittedly immature and declined to wear them.



Not buyin' it.

If a player screws up an assignment. A coaching staff questions him and he says; "Sorry, man, I haven't learned the play book yet."

Do you think they are going to play him?>


Take the same scenario with Quinn:
Has some KEY drops in huge games.
Coach "Dude, what the frick, can you see well?"
Quinn "I cannot see well."
Coach "Oh, okay, let's get you an eye exam.....at worst we can get you an auto-refract for $45 at Walmart. then wear some fricking contacts (or Lasik/prk...we'll pay $4000 for it) and your catches and yards will go up...therefore your participation will go up, too....get it?"
Quinn "Okay"

---weeks go by...
WR Coach: "wearing your contacts?"
if Quinn lies, he says "yes." Then still has some key drops to keep him yanked out of the final three games last year.
if he doesn't lie he says "no, I ain't wearing them"

Lemme ask you.....what would your answer be back to him as a coach?

You can choose to believe whatever you want. Here is what both Quinn and Miles had to say on the issue: LINK

Funny how I referenced the same article so I don't need a link.

There's references about Dwayne Bowe, the Alabama game and STILL a reluctance to fix vision problems.

That's a huge problem if you still have issues after THE BAMA game.....during overtime, with two failed third down conversions.

It that is not a litmus test for what is going on, then what game would be more important than that to address any kind of issue?

If you tell a guy to fix his damn vision and he's reluctant to do it with ONE SIMPLE STEP, then there is a respect issue or common sense issue. You can believe what you want to believe as well.
