He’s better than Beck/Grossman.

Would like to see him get a chance somewhere. He has to be better than Henne in Miami or Jackson in Seattle or Beck in Wasington, or Alex Smith in SF.

But as I watched the games and read about the practices it became clear that his accuracy and reading defenses was not there. Even Holmgren saw this which is why he immediately traded him away. I honestly hope he has fixed these problems.

Because of his holdout, he was never considered able to start for Crennel, and rarely got 1st team snaps in practice. Does everyone forget Mangini’s QB-carousel of using DA one week and possibly BQ another week? How many games did BQ start in his 3 years – 8?

Cleveland and the horrific coaching staff is what did Quinn in. The Browns have never been able to treat its QBs correctly…always had mediocre O-lines and arrogant coaches.

Maybe McCoy, with a better-than-sturdy O-line, will greatly improve the Browns.

Quinn, you’re a bum.

If so, we are stuck with Timbow. If not Quinn will win out the backup job, and hopefully be given a chance to prove he is by far ready to be a starter. I love the guy, and confident he can be an elite QB in this league.

If you’ve been to Broncos camp at all, that last sentence–taken in the context in which I read it–is a direct shot at Orton who has been locked on to Lloyd all camp.

“I feel like I can compete with anyone, given a fair chance,” Quinn said. “I mean, heck, throwing to Brandon Lloyd every play? Give me that chance.”

That guy was wrong on almost every single account over the last 2 years in Denver.

He praised McDaniels and everything McD did, from drafting Moreno, Ayers, and Alphonso Smith to trading Cutler, Hillis, and Scheffler to signing guys like Jarvis Green, Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams.

Klis is like William H Macy’s character from “The Cooler.” Stay away.

I mean if Tebow was playing against those guys he would obviously look better too.
The season will start and it will be Orton, Tebow, Quinn.
That’s all I have to say.

Tools.

Even if he failed miserably, he needed to go through that rough patch to get to the next part of his development as a pro QB.

Not sure on Brady. As a Browns fan we had hopes but nothing happened. The job was his to lose at one point but it was an odd situation for everyone here. Wish him well but glad we have Hillis from the trade.

REALLY? Quinn was good and not given a fair chance? I live here and watch plenty of Browns games and he isn’t good. His deep ball flutters, he’s not accurate, and doesn’t seem to make quick reads at all. He’s a checkdown artist and that’s it.

Will your love affair with this guy never end? He and DA have different skill sets, but both are not starting NFL QB material. The only difference is you all fell in love with Brady and hated DA.

It never ends with you guys…..

———————————————————-
Well, i know for sure that i would NEVER want Lloyd back on the Redskins EVER. he was there just to get a paycheck, when he left he improved, likely because he knew that he was running out of chances.

As for Quinn, if he’s so good he would’ve beaten Tebow out last year, i just cant get too high on Quinn, he will likely find another backup job somewhere and maybe if he improves he will start, but right now, no.

Brady Quinn can still turn into a serviceable quarterback, but if I were him I’d be more interested in being say, Tony Romo’s back-up and hoping for another injury.

Tebow can’t be used in special packages if he is the #3 quarterback. That would make him the emergency quarterback, meaning he could only enter the game after the other two quarterbacks appear in the game.
_______________

New rule this year eliminates the emergency quarterback. They expanded the game-day roster to 46, so the third quarterback can play at any time.

I was actually getting ready to comment the same thing. The only way he sees the field is if Orton gets hurt. Fox is loyal to a fault to veteran players. I watched their first preseason game and could predict every single play. They look just like Carolina the past 4 years, just minus DWill, and a defense.
