Chiefs begin scheming to fit Brady Quinn
Chiefs start crafting offensive plan with Quinn at QB
BY ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star DAVID EULITT Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn will most likely start on Sunday.Romeo Crennel’s first act as Chiefs head coach last December was to name Kyle Orton as the new starting quarterback. In making the announcement, Crennel expressed plenty of confidence that Orton could help the Chiefs win. Crennel is now on the verge of making another quarterback change, this one forced by the concussion to Matt Cassel. Crennel didn’t sound on Monday as confident in Brady Quinn, the probable starter in Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers in Tampa, as he was in Orton. “Kyle is a more experienced guy,’’ Crennel said. “This is a different scenario and a different situation. I know Brady will be ready to play, and Brady is going to do everything he can to help this team win.’’ Having given that less-than-resounding endorsement, Crennel and the Chiefs on Monday began the process of making the quarterback switch. Even at that, Crennel wasn’t ready to declare that Cassel was out for Sunday’s game. “Not totally, but just from what I’ve seen about concussions, they can be difficult,’’ Crennel said. “The individual is the thing. Some individuals recover faster than others. With the emphasis on concussions in the league, they’re making sure we do due diligence on the player’s health and making sure he’s not rushed back. “They’re going to run several tests to see where he is. Generally, concussions are not good, but we’re concerned about the safety and welfare of the player and we’re going to give him an opportunity to get well. In the meantime, Brady Quinn has to get ready to play, and Ricky Stanzi has to be ready to play.’’ Still, the Chiefs began crafting the offensive plan for next Sunday’s game with Quinn as their quarterback. It presumably will be a little different than the plan for Sunday’s 9-6 loss to Baltimore, one in which the Chiefs tried 50 running plays but only 18 passes. “We have to look at the strength of every player we’re going to play in the game. The things Brady does well, we have to tilt the game plan toward those things. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be very good coaches.’’ The Chiefs won’t have their first practice session of the week until Wednesday. Tight end Tony Moeaki said he didn’t think the transition from Cassel to Quinn would be complicated. “We did all that work with him in training camp, and he takes reps in practice,’’ Moeaki said. “So we’ll be comfortable if Brady has to go and we’ll make it work.’’ Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/10/08...#storylink=cpy |
Going to continue to run Jamaal into the ground I presume?

Holy shit a Moeaki sighting.
|
So Romeo, how did you "tilt the gameplan" to play up to Casshole's strengths yesterday? Complimentary passing?

They can't go back to Cassel after the bye. If they do, they are tanking for Geno

Word has it that Crennel sent Daboll to the NFL Films Archive to dust off some tape from the Vermeil era. Together they will embark on the adventure to discover what a "pass" is, how it is supposed to be used and when it could help in a football game.
|
Football neophyte here, but am I wrong in thinking that the three passes that Quinn threw yesterday seemed to have more velocity on them than compared to Cassel (and weren't four feet above the receivers' heads)?

If Quinn starts, I'll be rooting more than I ever have for a Chiefs QB to have an incredible game. I know it might not matter, but I just want it to be as difficult as possible for them to have a case to put Cassel back in the lineup.
|
Are you telling me that we've been scheming for cassel this while? I really couldn't tell.
|
the 3 passes you saw from Quinn yesterday also happened to be the 3 best passes of Quinn's journeymen NFL career.
So whats that tell you? |

You really noticed when Cassel threw the short pass to Bowe near the sideline and you could almost time the throw with a sundial. |

However the facts remain: Quinn was a 1st round draft pick, Cassel was a 7th. Quinn actually played in college, Cassel never did. Cassel had a better initial season than Quinn but Quinn was also on a suck ass team. Quinn should have started in Denver when they parted ways with Orton but ticket sales demanded Tebow start. Quinn is most likely not the answer, although if people are hoping to find a diamond in the rough, we have a better chance at that with Quinn than with Cassel. |

Am I the only one excited to see Quinn get a shot?

If it means we win enough games to miss out on Geno Smith, then no, I'm not excited. Unless Quinn leads this team to AFCC game and proves that he is worthy of a continued investment then I will be upset if he ruins our chances of getting Geno.

I am one of those, "he hasn't been in the right situation" people....however, I don't think the situation he is in now is any better than his previous 2 stops. However, I am hoping for big things... |

I think we all know he got jobbed in Denver. The Donks chose hype and ticket sales over the better QB. |

I will be rooting for Quinn to fail. Holding out hope for a franchise qb.
|
If we're in a position to draft Geno, Pioli will in all likelihood no longer be here. A new GM +new HC = New QB.
Lame duck GMs don't exist. He'll have the rest of this season to prove he's worth an extension, which at this point is entirely inherent on Quinn's success IMO. |

Any success Quinn has equals contract extensions for pioli and crennel.

I said those teams have obvious QB issues and could potentially be drafting #1 overall. Those teams would not even dream about trading away Geno Smith for more pics. |

Based only on what I saw in the preseason, Quinn's arm seems pretty strong and relatively accurate. What I don't know about Quinn is his decision making under pressure and courage under pressure. I can't stand watching a total bitch (Cassel) the gets easily flustered into mistakes, sacks, interceptions etc.
Maybe that is why Quinn couldn't hold a job before? |

Cant be worse than Cassel on the field.
It can be worse if we go 7-9 as Quinn and Pioli and RAC prop him up as a QBOTF. Knowing KC's history that is the way it will actually go down. |
LMAO at the whole story.
I was wrong I thought Crennel needed a shot with a team that had some talent. Dude is ****ing reeruned. All he has to do is be complimentary of Quinn and he gets a pass and instead he gives him no support. |
Sweet can't wait to see him unleash that Howitzer for the entire game.

Seriously, what gameplan? Any ****ing person with 2 arms and slight mobility could hand the ball off all game.
|
This "Brady Quinn throws better passes" than Cassel thing is reeruned.
Brady Quinn has made a career of throwing some ****ing awful passes. Again: His career numbers are comparable to BRODIE CROYLE. This guy isn't winning shit here. He's just another failure who will soon be laughed at. |

Got F'd out of a go ahead TD pass late in his first game here. At least he showed a little bit.

Stop blowing Brady Quinn you morons. |
Someone who pimped the hell out of Huard to Darling doesn't get to throw stones
|
I guess we'll see if he's learned anything, or if he still blows. At least he actually played in college I guess. LOL

Well, you know, we KNOW Cassel isn't the answer.
Quinn was, at one point, legitimate first round QB talent. I think you can make an argument that he didn't have much of a chance in Cleveland and got lost in the coaching shuffle. He didn't get a shot in Denver either. Maybe he's a lost cause, but maybe the lightbulb goes on for him. I know I'm actually looking forward to the game this week, and I haven't been able to say that for awhile. Maybe he's Cassel's opposite in that he practices like crap and plays well. Who knows? They say that's what Dawson was like. I'd say this-if Quinn completes over 60%, has a 2-1 or better TD/Int and actually LEADS this team to a winning record, then I think you've got your guy. I still think I'd look for a QB in round one, and I think I would every year for eternity until I'm sure I've got one. I think it's unlikely that Quinn is the answer. Sure would be cool if he was, though. |

This. http://i.imgur.com/Crd8A.jpg Call me when Quinn ever has a season like that. That's not much, but it's a decent 5-game stint for a guy filling in for the starter. Quinn hasn't done anything like that. He's only been a complete ****ing disaster as a QB. |

.......right? |
Some quarterbacks bloom early and some quarterbacks bloom later in their careers ... if they bloom at all.
And some quarterbacks are like bulb plants where they look really ugly at first but you keep them in the basement for awhile and then you plant them and you give them water and nutrients and you care for them by making sure that the weeds don't get them and the bugs and the mold and the bulb rot and then in the springtime they start to grow and develop little by little and then before you know it they get better and better and bigger and bigger and then just before the first blossoms emerge a groundhog comes along and eats them roots and all.

I thought he would play well, and he did. What happened after '06 doesn't enter into it. The people saying "GO QUINN" are the same idiots who thought Palko was better than Cassel last season. He wasn't. Not even close. He was a dumpster fire. Quinn will be dumpster kindling. |
I don't know how good or bad Quinn will end up being but I'm ready to find out.
There is absolutely no point putting Ca$$el back in there... |

That first ball is underthrown, but it was 50 yards. The offense there is that it should have been thrown sooner. At least he has the arm to make that throw.
|
"Ricky Stanzi has to be ready to play.’’

This is where we just have to let it all out with Quinn and see what we got. He's only had 9 games with Cleveland who had no talent. He's got WRs and Jamaal here. Im not saying he's the future but maybe he could be a stop gap for a year while we groom a rookie QB. I also want to see Stanzi. Mr. Pioli's only QB he's drafted here needs to play to see why Pioli drafted him
