Brady Quinn/Len Dawson
 

I was doing some research on the free agent QBs this year and the more I read up on Quinn, its basically almost a carbon copy of Len. Now don't jump my ass for saying it would happen but its almost kind of creepy just look at some of this:

Both were born in Ohio. (Alliance/Columbus)
Both played college football in Indiana. (Purdue/Notre Dame)
Both were first round draft picks (Pittsburgh/Cleveland)
Dawson was drafted in 1957, Quinn in 2007
Both played 3 seasons with their original team (Pittsburgh/Cleveland)
Dawson from 1957 to 1959. Quinn from 2007 to 2009.
Both were then traded to their second team. (Cleveland/Denver)
Both played 2 seasons with their second team (Cleveland/Denver)
Dawson from 1960 to 1961. Quinn from 2010 to 2011.
Both could be reunited with a former coach in Kansas City (Stram/Crennel)

****Disclamier****
I am not saying if we sign Brady Quinn he will turn out to be Len Dawson. Its just some neat facts for discussion only :thumb:

Also for you enjoyment:

^^^ I do not enjoy her ^^^^

I'd sign Quinn....but I'm a huge Irish homer.

The kid is ****ing talented and he's pretty much gotten the raw deal wherever he went.

Did a Pittsburgh DL punch Dawson?

chokes when the game is on the line

Yep...because Shaun Smith is known a level headed individual.

Same here. She's nice to look at, but she's never given me any sort of enjoyment.

:spock:

Matt Cassell = Drew Brees

Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy!
Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln!

Drew Brees has had success with his 2nd team and a SB ring.

Got to be honest. I think Brady is under kicking his coverage bigtime.

If anyone could tap that kid's potential, it's Jim Zorn.

yeah, against USC amomgst others... if you want to talk about a ND QB getting a raw deal then Jimmy Clausen is your guy then.

Here is the better picture of the chick. NSFW so here is the link.

Well, he's the 1st round QB everyone has been waiting for....

I'd take Clausen or Quinn.

LINK????? :p

Kinda fat/Omaha

Sure, bring him in for camp, if he can hit 60% of his passes or better throughout... we keep him on the roster to compete.

Otherwise, he's gotta go... and i have SERIOUS doubts about his accuracy, every time i've watched him, his accuracy is absolute dogshit... no hyperbole.

I'd sign Quinn as a back-up. There was talent there at one point; he was a consensus first round QB. Take a flyer on the kid, it might work out for you.

Finkle = Einhorn!!! Einhorn = Finkle!!!

Just me?

Never noticd that. Pretty hilarious.


We already have the perfect backup, it's just that he is the starter for the time being.

I know! I first realized Einhorn was Finkle because a dog was laying on a newspaper and its hair was wrapped around a photo of Einhorn's/Finkle's face. Then it clicked!

A person I am close with works at Notre Dame and always has had great things to say about Brady Quinn off the field and on the field. He says he was always well respected by his teammates, took his success in stride, put the team before himself and was always an active member in the community.

Jimmy Clausen did not get the same type of praise as he said a lot of things were "swept under the rug" by ND regarding Clausen.

It's staggering how much more accurate the guy was in college than in the pros.

I was "forced" to watch most of his games (one of my best friends comes over Sundays to watch football and is a 4th gen Browns fan) and without exaggerating, the guy was as bad as Tebow without the magic.

He makes Matt Cassel look like Troy Aikman.

Heres the thing with him though...

He had a couple really good games that he looked like a good NFL quarterback.

Then, the next week he would turn back into Cassel/Tebow bad...

I don't think I've seen a set of quarterbacks that had as many sub 100 games as Cassel and Quinn.

Honestly, Quinn is probably due for one last shot somewhere ( Romeo traded up and paid three times the chart value to do so to select Quinn) but I'd rather deal a late rounder for Clausen than to outright sign Quinn.

fixed.

You think maybe it was due to the lack of talent in Cleveland?

I think Quinn would be a nice signing if we don't resign Orton. Gives Cassel legit competition along with Stanzi and who knows with the talent we have might just turn his career around or if not its not like we are out of anything unlike Casshole.

I dont, a quarterback is either accurate or he isnt... you can hit a shitty receiver in stride just as well as a good one.

Denver tried him out & decided Tebow gave them a better chance.

Denver tried him out when? When did he start for Denver?

He surely got plenty of practice looks.

So then Palko is better than Stanzi....right?

I know you have this say the opposite of reality schtick going, but its tiresome.

Matt Cassell = 2667th greatest player in the nfl since 1950

I think the only thing this column proves is that Brady Quinn is 50 years younger than Len Dawson.

I actually laughed out loud at this at work. Thanks.

This Brady Quinn idea would have been great back when we still had Charlie Weis running the offense.

Now I'd be all for it simply so we don't have to watch Matt Cassel try as hard as he can to throw a ball farther than 20 yards.

Cmon man, do we really need a 2667th person saying the same exact shit about Cassell? Think of me as a breath of fresh air.

IMO he was absolutely a big part of the problem.

Numerous times I saw the guy have a clean pocket, flush HIMSELF from it and throw on the run into the dirt when there was a play to be made.

Or he would stare down one guy for what's basically whole games and take unneeded sacks.

Very frustrating player.

I don't know if he has that "fire" a guy needs to have to fight his way back into a real opportunity.

To me, I think Clausen still has a chance to be a quality starter in this league, more so than Quinn. If Clausen was available for something like a 5th rounder or even a 4th (personally, I'd go as high as a third) would be a move I would think would be worthwhile. Not sure if I'd even sign Quinn.

No to Quinn.

No one but Orton got any reps with the first team this past offseason. That's why it took going 1-4 to make a change.

Quinn looked pretty good in 3 preseason games, and absolutely horrible in 1. I don't really see why Denver wouldn't re-sign him as a backup, personally.

No, Denver already has their backup.

Problem is, like the Chiefs problem, he is parading as the starter.

This thread is so moronic, it is beyond words. Considering the dumbshit who started this thread, it is typical.

Hey Tyler Palko and Joe Montana were both born in Pennsylvania... using your dumbshit logic that would be a basis for annointing Palko the Chiefs QBOTF.

Ok I'll play nice...What's that smell?:fart:

Comprehension is your best friend.

He didn't state any logic. Just simple similarities.

It's the offseason. It's okay to dream, because in 8 months we'll be throwing things at the tv set as cassell scans the field for 15 seconds and throws a duck to a running back for a 2 yard gain on 3rd and 9.

Lighten up.

It's an interesting comparison. I'm all for giving anyone a shot. I don't think Quinn was ever given a lot of time to prove himself. He can't be any worse than captain check down.

Confidence and chemistry do wonders for accuracy - especially for a guy who was once incredibly accurate. He's obviously unproven in the NFL. If he finds a situation in which to thrive, he could do so. It's not unheard of...

They both won't have a WR named Taylor on this team.

Agreed. Too bad Zorn could not tap Cassels potential. Wait, sorry. The last two words of my sentence was an oxymoron..... Sorry, I will go back into hiding...

How ya been birthday brother?

Pretty good my friend! Other than the fact I have been stuck in LA for two weeks and have three more to go for new training.. You?

yuck! Another day, another doughnut. When I'm lucky anyways...

He couldn't even beat out Tebow.

Tebow won the starting job because of the newspapers

Kind of hard to beat out Jesus.

pontius pilate says he didn't think so....

LMAO

You are a complete tool.

Learn to read you ****ing trogladyte.

I'd much rather watch him play than Cassel.

Denver has FAR more invested in Tebow than Quinn.

Brady Quinn. Joe Montana. Both went to ND. Both threw footballs.

LMAO

Why are you dragging Tebow into this?

I prefer to think of you as the dumbest ****ing moron I have ever known.

So he was the Bieber before Bieber? Like the prequel Bieber
:thumb:

Cassel sucks

You missed another similarity, and this one seals it.

Lenny ends with "y", Dawson ends with "n'.

Brady ends with "y", Quinn ends with "n".

Eerie.

It's fate.

ROFLROFLROFLROFL

Good one scho63

Quinn before puberty!

Thread ends with "this."

After he comes here the announcer is going to announce him as Brady Quinnn, so their first and last names will have the same number of letters.

Lol didn't even think about that.

Surely you jest. He doesn't fold when the game is on the line, he folds when the game is on. You need to get off his jock bro.

Fate.

For ****'s sake, people. Brady Quinn had a RB go for 350 yards in Arrowhead and he attempted 17 passes for 66 yards on the day with 2 picks.

He's garbage and has a shitty ****ing work ethic. He wants to be a brodouche, work on his guns and slay pussy, not throw touchdowns.

Yes sir!

Leonard attempted a total of 45 passes in his first five years in the league before joining the Texans/Chiefs.

We'd be mother****ing the hell out of Pioli for the same type of "pointless" acquisition.

Now we got drew brees AND Len Dawson on the same team

Since we've already had Kris Wilson
can we call Eric Winston Nessie

If she is willing to put out for me..I'm onboard for Quinn

If not, hope his plane crashes on the way to camp
