Brady Quinn blames rash of injuries on HGH, thinks 40-50% of players are on PEDs

"I'm not going to be a whistleblower and I'm not accusing anyone of anything," Quinn said on the “Roughing the Passer” podcast. "(But) there's got to be something these guys are taking. That's what I think at least."
Quinn added that, in his opinion, “40 to 50 percent of guys are taking something” and said that the penalties attached to positive tests aren’t harsh enough to dissuade players from using performance-enhancers.
"If you're a top-of-the-line guy and you're getting $16 million a year — you're getting a million bucks a game — if you get popped for taking something that helps you get that big-time contract or hit that incentive in your contract where you get paid all of the sudden in your contract year, guess what? First (failed test), four-game (suspension)," Quinn said. "Let's talk about financially, 'Am I going to sacrifice $4 million in order for me to get that big contract on the back-end? Yea, I am.'"
He also said that using HGH makes players more susceptible to injury because it gives them a false sense of confidence, thinking they can work through minor injuries rather than resting.
"You could say it's what they're taking, supplements and things that they're putting in their body that are dehydrating their body and making them a little more tight and brittle, those sorts of things," Quinn, who was with the Jets in 2013, said. "Or it could be a matter of overtraining in the offseason, not giving their body enough rest and all of the sudden, they try to come into the season and their ligaments and joints and things have so much wear-and-tear and they haven't received the proper amount of rest and attention they need."

Brady Quinn whines because he sucks.
Matt Leinart whines because he sucks.
Not a good week for below average white NFL quarterbacks.

What is Brady actually whining about?

Brady Quinn is probably right. I think the NFL has a major steroid problem.

all sports have a steroid "problem"

The injuries are due to forcing the defense to go low instead of high. It's a violent sport and if you force guys to hit ball carriers from the waist down, you're going to see a rise in knee injuries.

Just because they have an opinion about something doesn't mean they're whining.
And just because they sucked in the NFL doesn't mean their points aren't valid.

I think it's pretty obvious that many NFL players are juicing in some way. Has anyone actually read the list of legal substances? Anyone with medical or pharmaceutical knowledge able to provide insight on what NFL players are putting into their bodies?
Human beings are not constructed to be 6'1, 230 pounds, bench press 400 pounds, and still run a 4.4 40.

Ok, that mag cover has got to be shopped, right? If not, when the hell did Quinn get that big?

Bigger, stronger, faster. The league may soon have players too big, strong and fast to safely play before long. We're on the brink of it now.

He's always been vocal about fitness and nutrition. Didn't make him a better qb though

So are they doing it or not? He's not going to be a whistleblower, but he's going to say that people have to be taking something because... why? Or does he know that 40-50% of players are doing something and he doesn't want to man up and say it in that way.
Like wow Brady Quinn thinks a bunch of NFL players are taking PEDs. How original. Anyone who isn't in denial has been saying this for years. Give us something new.

I say make PEDs legal.
