Abstract
It is shown that Dickson's Conjecture about primes in linear polynomials implies that if $f$ is a reducible quadratic polynomial with integral coefficients and non-zero discriminant then for every $r$ there exists an integer $N_r$ such that the polynomial $f(X)/N_r$ represents at least $r$ distinct primes.
