Quinn QBotF
Hate on me!
http://www.bobgretz.com/chiefs-footb...a-starter.html Watching the quarterbacks Among the 3 quarterbacks on the roster, the guy who threw the ball best on Thursday was Brady Quinn. He appears to have solid mechanics in his drop and has smoothed out some rough edges that were visible in his motion going back to Notre Dame. Matt Cassel threw several nice passes, but he was high on his throws during much of the session. Ricky Stanzi was OK. @Iowa homers. “I think they’re beginning to gain a command of the system and some of the checks that we have in place,” Crennel said. “They’re all doing well. Probably, Brady and Matt are a little ahead of Stanzi right now, but they’re all working at it. They’re a good group in that room, so we feel good about them.” |

You're guessing. Perhaps they've moved the bar on what is considered a QBotF but a 52.1% 5.4 ypa and a 10/9 TD/INT ratio for a QB that hasn't thrown a single pass in the last 3 seasons indicate career backup to me. It was like calling Todd Collins a QBotF.

Put Quinn as Tom Brady's backup.......spending the entire time learning from Belicheck, Weis and McDaniels......and then put him in as the starter with Moss and Welker......and he'd be worse than Cassel? If you honestly think that.....you're ****ing stupid. |

Let's reverse those stories.
Put Cassel on that Browns team. I guarantee you that Cassel isn't even in the league anymore. |

Reading Quinn's actual career biography is a constant lesson in bad effing luck, especially once the Mangenius took over in Cleveland. Complete cockup of the whole situation. There is reason to hope, if not be optimistic. |

Cassel sure as hell hasn't elevated the play of those around him, but not many QB's are going to overcome 5 OC's in 4 years.

Drew Bledsoe attempted 70 passes in one game. I don't care if Quinn hasn't thrown a pass in three years--as long as it isn't Cassel, I don't care who is the QB. |

Cassel shouldn't have even been drafted....and was. He got to sit behind Brady and learn from capable OCs (Weis and McDaniels). He got thrown into the starting lineup....and got to work with Moss and Welker.....and he still threw up marginal ****ing numbers. Then he got a starting position and a fat contract......AND he isn't going to get pulled no matter how shitty he is. Sounds to me like Cassel has had nothing but good luck |

Cassel not being able to read a defense and poor accuracy has nothing to do with Bad Luck...
it's poor skills.

With weis, bowe, charles, moeaki - good play. Without - atrocious play. Cassel's time with NEW ENGLAND, however, was amazing luck. He still can't hit receivers in stride. He has zero nuance to his passing. Placement of the ball is so crucial, getting your receivers turning the right direction to avoid an oncoming hit, to be already turned upfield. Sometimes you have to put the ball on a receivers back shoulder to get him turned to the sideline, making a defender miss on the inside. Passing is a much more complicated game than just "I threw it, he caught it, what else you want?" Cassel isn't horrible, and everyone saying so is exaggerating. But he has a ceiling, and it's made of pure steel. |
