He seems pretty impulsive and animated with some of his responses in interviews, which gives me the vibe that he is "winging" things....and judging by his interviews in the past couple years, I'm impressed with his ability to do that.

Exactly.
Most football players and coaches answer any question with trite, recycled statements that we've all heard a thousand times. But a situation like this one lies so far outside the pale that there are very few "canned" answers to fall back on. Quinn had to give his own answers to the questions, because he had no others to give, and came off sounding very reflective and mature.
