Quinn in as Seahawks' backup QB

Brady Quinn wins ... the backup quarterback job with the Seattle Seahawks.

After the Seahawks brought in Quinn, Matt Leinart and Tyler Thigpen for tryouts on Monday, the team decided to go with Quinn, the team announced Tuesday. No contract details were announced.

The backup quarterback opening was created last week with the Seahawks dealt Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders. Flynn lost a battle in training camp last year with rookie Russell Wilson for Seattle's starting job.

Quinn took over as the Kansas City Chiefs' starter last year when Matt Cassel was injured. In eight games as the starter, Quinn threw two touchdown passes and eight interceptions. The former first-round pick from Notre Dame also spent time with the Cleveland Browns, starting 12 games in three years, and the Denver Broncos, where he never played in two seasons.

Leinart was thought to have a chance to land the Seattle job despite lackluster play the past few seasons while bouncing between Arizona, Houston and Oakland. He played in college at USC for current Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

Thigpen, meanwhile, possesses running ability similar to Wilson that would have worked well on the Seahawks' read-option plays. But he had started only one NFL game the past five seasons, with Miami in 2010.

Your Geno mancrush is not doing you any justice.

Joe Flacco was a late first round/high second round pick in most experts opinions, and almost everyone believed the Ravens reached taking him as high as they did.

The guy couldnt even get a good D1 scholarship and the one he did get he turned away cuz he knew he couldnt win the job. Talk about a homer, you need to Take a QB first just so you can finally say the Chiefs did it. Then you will sit and wallow, while he sits on the bench because he cant even beat out AS. What a GM you turned out to be. This is getting embarrassing for you, arguing a mediocre QB for the first overall pick. It has nothing to do with homer, it has to do with building a successful franchise. It starts with the guys up front. The QB will be there, even Geno couldnt succeed with what was going on this past season. We need a dominant left tackle

Where we have been for the last 10 years, and for the 25 years prior to that, is taking someone else's trash at QB and trying to win against the big boys that have drafted and developed their own QBs.

Guys! Lay off! Seriously! You're chasing away all the new quality posters who have so many great new things to say!

I'm sorry, ayleswbj. You'll have to excuse us. Everybody is entitled to his/her opinion on Chiefs Planet, no matter how ludicrous, senseless, idiotic, ill-conceived, poorly written, cliched, unoriginal, or jaw-droppingly stupid it may be.

Go on, please. Tell us all about how the Chiefs will start to finally win if they copy the exact blueprint from the past 30 years that won us jack shit. We want you to feel welcome here.

Next years QB class looks much better. Definitely a couple QB's I'd look at drafting in the first round.

Teddy Bridgewater looks great against the powerhouse UConn.

I can't believe you think Geno is better than Bridgewater.

For shame.

[Sorter]

RunKC, you're an absolute mongoloid.

Also, what an excellent throw against no pressure by Teddy at :15 against the vaunted UConn secondary.

Edit: at the throw at 1:57.

The irony in this is that Geno also played against UConn early in his college career and he looked like hot trash.

I can't tell whether you've gone full L.A. Chieffan or if you're just a complete idiot.

I'm inclined to think it is the latter.
