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 |

Cassel can throw an INT in exactly the same manner.

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

Did anyone see Eli Manning becoming the stud QB he is in his first season? Because all he did then was take a 5-4 team and drive it into the ground. Now he has 2 rings and he's a top 3 QB in the game. Not saying Quinn is the solution by any stretch. But you can't scream 'bench Cassel' and 'Don't stop playing Cassel he's our only chance at Geno Smith!' at the same time.

Around age 27 is when you know if a quarterback has it or not.

We are going to end up with Tony Romo when Dallas runs him out of town. Book it.

The comparison you need to make is Brodie Croyle.
Find a QB who looked as bad as Croyle did his first two years, and went on to be a good player. Then I'll start to believe Quinn can be an average QB. That's what Quinn was in Cleveland. He was their Brodie Croyle.

Without getting too scientific, Quinn is addition by subtraction. Cassel is responsible for what - 15, 16, 17 turnovers so far? If Quinn is totally vanilla but does not fumble and get picked every other offensive possession, KC could be right back in the hunt of a very winnable AFCW. I would say that of the four losses, at least 2, maybe three were auto-desctructions, and not sound beatings from superior foes. We dominated both SD and Baltimore in the box score but commited TEN turnovers. While not all of them are directly attributable to Cassel, enough are that a QB who can take care of the football may be able to grow into spreading the ball around to a weapons-rich offense that can run the ball almost at will.
