Chiefs Brady Quinn - Page 11

**buddha** · 03-22-2012, 10:32 AM

I just watched the video of Brady being interviewed on Chiefs.com and I wonder if this situation might just work out for KC and Quinn. As we all know, QB is a position that you grow into in the NFL, and it takes some guys longer than others to get comfortable. Brady seems like a mature guy now who has been knocked around by life enough to be realistic about the NFL.

There are examples of guys who start off cold at QB and then go to the right situation and really blossom. Rich Gannon was no better than average when he split time with Sean Salisbury in Minnesota. Dude ended up being a Pro Bowl QB years later.

I just have a hunch about Quinn. He's going to a new team, but the OC is familiar, Romeo is familiar, and the QB situation is there for the taking.

or it may be because Pioli wanted to protect his Boy Cassel:

Chiefs | Brady Quinn unlikely to push for starting role
Sun, 18 Mar 2012 01:30:06 -0700
The Kansas City Chiefs seemed like they wanted to add competition for QB Matt Cassel this offseason, but the signing of Brady Quinn is unlikely to provide that. Quinn has not played a regular season game during the past two seasons. He does, however, have history with head coach Romeo Crennel from their time together in Cleveland in 2007. Quinn does give the team some stability as a backup quarterback, an area the team has struggled at in recent seasons.

no competition for Castle.

The good news is, we won't be depending on Croyle or players of his caliber, if Cassel should falter. Quinn is a stop-gap, but it is what it is. I think Cassel knows his ass is on the line and has to step up this year or else his shot at being a starter will be all but done. We might even still have a move or two up our sleeves to acquire a QB, but I believe Pioli has plans to get us a QB, this year or next.

good question.

Start Croyle · 03-26-2012, 01:50 PM

Quinn is a player I've always had a gut feeling about! Even back when Herm was the coach, I thought he might be an option!

Who knows what might happen this season! It could be the biggest surprise in the NFL this year!

You know, if you look at Matt Cassel's career stats as a starter in KC, there is a BIG silver lining..

2009, Week 1 - DNP
2010, Week 14 - DNP
2011, Weeks 11-17 - DNP

He's all but GUARANTEED to get hurt, even if it means he only misses a couple of games.

Here is the thing about Quinn. I'm fairly skeptical that he is gonna pan out, but it isn't because he doesn't have the tools. I think that his development may have been stunted or totally screwed by a number of circumstances, from injuries to three coaching changes, to poor offensive weapons. Quinn has actually only played in 14 NFL games. In other words, in real game speed experience, he is still a rookie. Throw in the three different coaches and systems, and he is a rookie experience wise that didn't have any consistency at all. If you look at Peyton Mannings rookie year and compare the two, you get this:

Comp % TD INT Rating
Quinn 52 10 9 66
Manning 56 26 28 71

Now, I'm not saying that Quinn is or will ever be even close to Manning, but just using the fact that his experience in NFL games dictates that he isn't going to be all that great. I'm hoping that with correct weapons and a chance, he can become a decent QB, but I'm not counting on it.
