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 |

The cold hard fact people overlook is Quinn has a total of 12 starts in his career. He was a 1st round pick and never was given a chance for whatever reasons. I never watched him much so either he just sucked that bad or there was too high of an expectation for a young kid to light it up in his 1st 12 games.

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.

Bullshit. I don't care what our record is unless it is 11-5\10-6, there will be absolutely 0 excuse for Pioli to not trade up for a QB. I don't care if that means trading a shitload of picks, 2014's #1, Dwayne Bowe, I don't give a ****.

What evidence do you have that KC will pick Smith even if he is there when the Chiefs pick?

I'm pumped.
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. |

Well, if you're relying on trading up, you'd better hope that the team at #1 overall isn't a team with a need at QB. Because if so, then he's gone. Indy wasn't going to trade their #1 overall and neither will Oakland, Jacksonville, Bucs, Bills, or Jets IMO.

This is me. He can learn to make better decisions and reads. I want to see what he can do.
