I didn't see if this was mentioned but the system says Quinn is likely to be a "good" NFL QB and Russell is likely to be an average to below average passer at the next level I believe.

This is correct.

Quinn projects somewhat well, but not #1 overall pick well.

Russell projects rather poorly. Quarterbacks with that few starts (he had 29 at LSU) have a horrible NFL track record.

Since 1997 seven quarterbacks who started fewer than 30 games in college have been drafted in the top ten: Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Michael Vick, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Alex Smith.

Russell's passing numbers are similar to Vince Young, and Young also started very few games (33). But while Young is a moderate (at best) passer, he is an elite runner. Russell is not.
