I think the QB of the future may be on our roster already.
 

Laugh if you must, but I really think the QB we are looking for might be Brady Quinn.

I re-watched the game from last Thursday this morning. All-in-all, I felt like Quinn was very sharp... given the fact that he just started getting some time with the first string players earlier in the week.

Cassel's only pass, and Quinn's first pass were nearly the identical same play. Bowe had to go to the ground to catch Cassel's throw. Breaston caught Quinn's right were the ball should have been thrown, and turned it up-field for 3 or so more yards.

Quinn's 2nd pass was a beautifully thrown ball that hit Baldwin right in stride, and Baldwin was able to turn it up for several more yards.

The next two passes were highly criticized around here after/since the game. I did not see that much there that can not be fixed... once Quinn gets more time with the #1's to get timing issues worked out. All thorughout OTA's and Training Camp, I never recall hearing Quinn (or Stanzi) making any plays with any #1 receivers. Not even during drills.

Anyway. On the first one, as slant pass to Baldwin, it looks like just a matter of timing. They were on the same page... but just didn't connect. More reps together to develop some chemistry, and that is a TD easily.

The next play... which was an Interception that was negated by a penalty on the Packers... that had a whistle blown in the middle of the play... it appeared that Baldwin and Quinn were not on the same page. Quinn's pass appeared that he expected Baldwin to go inside instead of on the fade route that Baldwin ran. Again, more reps together to develop the right chemistry so they are reading the right thing. Baldwin cuts inside, and that is a TD. Quinn throws the fade pass, and it is also probably a TD. Not on same page. That has to be understandable given the minimal amount of time the two have had together.

Next drive was all backups. Line and skill players.

3rd and 7. Hits Bellamy right on the button for an easy first down.

3rd and 9. Hits Manari right on the numbers for another first down.

3rd and 8. QB draw type of run that would have made Elway proud right up to the non-slide that got him slightly injured.

Then the next pass that has been widely criticized around here. The Interception on the back of the endzone. Again, this was with his backups and not the starters, which gives no excuse to Quinn. BUT... he starts out looking to his left. Staying with his progression, he moves to the middle of the field. At this point, Harris is getting his ass kicked by a Packers defender causing Quinn to have to step up into the pocket, which is collapsing under the 2nd string line. A half of a second more at the most, and Manari is comming wide open on a TE drag across just a little right of where Quinn made the decision to throw. Tiny bit better pocket, and that ball goes to Manari if Quinn has the time to finish his reads and that is an easy TD.

That is all the further I watched. And that was all the further I needed to watch. I am convinced Quinn is going to be just what the doctor ordered for this team. All he needs is more time with the #1's to get on the same page with them.

I know Cassel is the starter for now. I can accept that. He is not the best QB though. And it is not even going to be close... in time.

If its between Quinn and Cassel, I'll take Quinn.

But we should draft a 1st round QB next year no matter what.

Chief fan, never stop being you.

If Brady Quinn is the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

I'll take Quinn over Cassel

I'd take death by firing squad over death by cyanide.

I feel like you will be getting a fair amount of flak for this, but I can see it. At least the part where he is better than Cassel. Its just plain bold to say that he is the long term solution but with reps he could be a significant improvement.

Yup

You know whos always the most popular guy on the team? The backup QB

















Until he actually plays.............

Tanney needs to be our QBOTF

until we draft a QB in the first round next year.

If you count the preseason, I believe that Tanney has the highest career quarterback rating.

I think Quinn has the mental part. I just don't like his accuracy from what I've seen so far.

It might still be an upgrade. At least he's a guy that can use the entire field. Plus, if it came without injury to Cassel, it would at least signal that they are moving on.

LMAO

Yeah, sure.

God help us.

ABC

While I agree that he's better than Cassel probably in most respects, that's not really saying much.

i'd rather shower with sandusky...

She is probably about to her max withdraw since he's in jail. You might have a chance.

Chiefs Realize Brady Quinn Received 'Frog And Toad Are Friends' Instead Of Playbook..

I want some of whatever the hell you are on. Seriously.

pooptaco

Nobody knows what Quinn's injury is all about yet. It might put him out for several games.

Oh, yeah, and he's also just as inconsistent in his play and skittish in the pocket as Cassel. He's not top 10 QB material. He's not even Joe Flacco material.

It would be nice if Cassel got hurt and Quinn turned into Len Dawson II. Not holding my breath though.

I haven't seen anything on that.

Already
Been
Casseled
?
?
?

I keep hoping for a scenario in practice where they run out of footballs and call over to the kickers to get one. Ryan Succop then casually rockets a ball 70 yards into the hands of a waiting Dwayne Bowe, never realizing that his arm is even more talented than his foot.

This has to be one of the dumbest threads created. I'd rather read 5 luv threads and 8 Dr Johnny threads before reading just 1 of yours.

I'd rather have 100 of these than 1 of yours.

I'll settle for top 30.

LMAO The first round bust QB who has been on the bench for going on 6 years is the QB of the future?

ROFL

I don't even think he's better than Cassel. All 3 of our QBs suck. Deal with it. Cassel is sadly our best QB. Deal with it.

Yeah sure.... :banghead:

Hop on board this bandwagon.....I'm driving.

You watch your foul mouth

Q: Who's the most popular guy in the amputee nudist colony?
A: The guy who goes out for a dozen donuts.

Q: Who's the most popular girl in the amputee nudist colony?
A: The girl who eats the last donut.

If its between Quinn and Cassel, I'll take antifreeze.

LOL, Tanny was in the game for one purpose only. To 'get injured' and go on the IR.

LMAOLMAO

I said it already but I put part of the blame on the INT in the endzone on Crennel. Quinn made a mistake but it was clear that the hit he took two plays earlier rattled him pretty bad. A timeout and a regroup I think wouldve prevented the INT.

Easy now Clint....Don't want you going out like that....;)

LMAO

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Quinn is tied to Crennel. The one will only be in KC as long as the other = the most 2 seasons.

OMG LMAO for the win

Lenny's top attribute was his poise. Have you seen an ounce of poise in Quinn?

LOOK OUT!.... NO HORSES!... You are just on a steep incline.

The INT should not have been thrown. But he did. That said. If the O-line gives him any time at all. It is a TD to Maneri. I'd bank on it.

The 3rd down and long plays were right on the money... thrown to an open receiver. It has been a long time since we have seen that. Usually 3rd and long requires a draw or checkdown pass with hopes of the RB being able to convert the last few yards to the sticks.

The guy is only 27. I am not opposed at all to drafting a QB either. But that QB may be 27 before he "gets it" in the NFL. Ryan has done a nice job early in his career. He is now 27. Point is, there is probably a learning curve for a rookie QB to get to the Super Bowl.

This team does not need Dan Marino to get it done. We just need someone who can keep the chains moving behind a stout running game. Quinn appears to be able to make the plays to do just that.

Like I say. Laugh if you must... which some of you are. Quinn just might be what this team needs to get over the hump. AFTER he gets some more time with the #1's to get some chemistry and timing developed.

He's got a better arm, throws a better pass and can hit the open receiver. He's got a better feel in the pocket and doesn't panic as easily dumping off passes to the back after the first read.

Coogs is correct and the preseason showed why. He was the best of the three QB's on roster, threw better passes and that was playing with the junk that was getting dumped on the first cut day.

Oh **** yeah ROFL

Aren't you needed in a Luv or Dr. Johnny thread?

no no no no no



They're STILL shitty

LMAO Being a Chiefs fan is great.

Coming from you? Really? You're not even qualified to judge thread quality in D.C. Coogs is GTG. I don't know if I agree with him here but he's posted a lot more good football takes than bad.

Now think about this:

Statistically, Brady Quinn has accomplished less in this league than Tyler Thigpen.

Do I need to start a Quinn vs Thiggy poll?

He did have a sweet TD pass against the Packers....

Id take a Thigpen lead Pistol offense with our defense over a pro style offense lead bby Matt Cassel and our defense.

In 11 games...

2608 passing yards
386 yards rushing
22 totaal touchdowns (18 passing tds, 3 rushing tds, 1 receiving touchdown)
12 interceptions

BTW

If you take those numbers and extrapolate them over the course of 16 games, you get:

4,407 total yards (WOW)
3793 passing yards
561 rushing yards
53 receiving yards (thank you, Ronde)
32 total touchdowns
17 interceptions

Couple that with our defense, and it would be a fun year.

Gimmick or not.

Go ahead and check my math...

And that was with the beta version of Dwayne Bowe and no Jamaal Charles, behind a shitty offensive line.

Thiggy is not better than Cassel....but he is damn sure getting the shaft in this thread. Not that I even like the sawed off bastard, I just hate Cassel more.

BTW...Hillis and Charles would RAPE FACES in a pistol behind this OL.

:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Anybody want me to post the Brady Quinn equivalent?

DO IT

You make me want to gouge out my eyes with jagged spoons. **** you Clay.

Brady Quinn

12 games started
1902 yards passing
119 rushing yards 1 td
10 td
9 int

Extrapolated over a full 16 game schedule, that totals to:

2536 yards passing
159 yards rushing
1 td rushing
13 passing tds
12 ints

Thigpen 4407 total yards
Quinn 2695 total yards

Thigpen 32 total touchdowns
Quinn 14 total touchdowns

I never thought it would be that far off...

Hypothetical bullshit.

That's like a quantum physicist eating a shit ton of shrooms and then trying to extrapolate the meaning of life from a dried worm he found on his back porch.

crunchy

then just compare their production over a very similar amount of games (Thigpen started 11....Quin started 12)

Thigpens production blows Quinns away either way and its not even close.

Thigpen career comp % 54
Quinn career Comp % 52

Thigpen career YPA 6.3
Quinn career YPA 5.4

Should I continue?

Cassel is the starter.

No matter how much you bitch, moan and complain, he's our starter til the end of his contract.

Start as many reeruned and pointless threads you want about how QB's xyz are better than Cassel. Not only are you incorrect, but this is also perfect example of how Chiefs fans will pimp up any QB simply because it's someone that's not Cassel, regardless of how bad that QB may be.

Quinn isn't a NFL starter, neither is Tanney, Croyle, Thigpen, Stanzi, or Palko.

ROFL There have been posts/threads here saying Tanney is "being held back" or posts implying that we're trying to "sneak him under the radar". This is a guy that got famous because of Youtube.

You can make an argument that Orton is better than Cassel. But is he really THAT much better? I don't think so and I think at the end of the day we're winning just as many games with Orton as we would w/ Cassel. Neither are top 10 franchise Pro Bowl type QB's. Orton didn't want to be here anyways, he'd rather backup Romo in Dallas than to possibly have the chance to start in KC.

Vince Young isn't coming here. Neither is Seneca Wallace.

We're not making a trade for Matt Moore.

People really need to STFU already. I wish Cassel would be replaced w/ a better option. But so far, a better option hasn't been presented.

Go back and watch the first two drives of the game Thursday. You too BossChief. Watch it like you did the Stanzi at Rams game. There is some damn good stuff there, and I have pointed it out. Stuff there that Cassel can not do on a consistant basis. Give Quinn some time with the #1's and watch out. I think he could do more than Orton did. He just needs a few weeks to get comfortable... probably much like Orton did.

Are we allowed to talk about the other positions on the football team this site is generated for?

Quinn will be throwing picks like giving candy out at Halloween. GTFO with this shit already.

Thank you sir!

We are going at this just like the Vikings did. Build the team first, and it is damn hard to find the QB. A washed up Favre is how they finally went. Got the same result we did with Montana many moons ago.

Quinn has some tools. That was obvious Thursday with the #1's and even with the #2's on that second drive. There was a lot of beauty in both of those.

If we go rookie next year, it is probably 4 more years until Super Bowl time. Maybe 5.

If you go castoff from some othe team... like the Seahawks did with Flynn? :shrug:

We have tried that eleventy billion times in the past without much avail.

This guy came here because he wanted too. Not for more money. Not because of a trade. Because he wanted too. My gut tells me because he knows he is better than Cassel.

Extrapolate the number of wins over 16 games.

I think this team is set up for a good rookie to take over and flourish ala Ben Rothlisberger.

I dont think its gonna take 4 or 5 years to get there.

We arent that many pieces off, right now, if you cross off QB.

Even a rookie.

Problem is that QBs don't drop any more

Quinn is 3-9 as a starter
Thigpen is 1-10

Are you trying to sayy Quinn has shown to do more to help his team win games?

1st win
Quinn 3-8 45 yards 0td/0int

2nd win
14-36 185 yards 0td/0int

3rd win
6-19 36 yards 0tds/0int

ROFL

Thats a combined
23-63 (36% completions)
266 yards (ROFL in 3 games COMBINED)
0 tds

Yeah, he is a real go getter in those wins of his.

Beauty is that with the SRs due to come out for 2013 we shouldn't need one to drop to be able to draft a QB that could come in and make an impact.
