Eh...the guy is explosive and has everything. Watch the highlights of him versus Tony Costanzo. It's a hell of a battle and he shows very well against him. He's not Miller, but he's got the physical tools to be dominant as a pass rusher in either a 4-3 or a 3-4. However, we've got our pass rusher - we need a Sam backer that is effective in dropping back into pass coverage. A guy that you want 4-8 sacks plus the ability/strength to stack the TE and OT as well as drop back and cover backs and ends in the flat. I don't know if you waste Quinn's burst and strength in anything other than pinning his ears back and letting him fly at the QB.
Personally, I think Sam Acho has got the perfect skill set for that LOLB position in a 3-4 that Crennel runs. He's smart, unselfish and has shown he can get to the QB as well as have the athleticism to pull back into coverage. Great work ethic and consummate team player.
I find it mildly amusing that after Hali led the AFC with 14.5 sacks, people still keep suggesting/wanting pure pass rushers for the Chiefs. With a solid NT and a younger, capable LOLB, this is a very good defense. I'll be disappointed if they don't address those specific needs come draft day.
