Brady Quinn - CHIEFS (1 Viewer)

Brady Quinn - QB - Chiefs

Chiefs signed QB Brady Quinn, formerly of the Broncos.

Quinn played under Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll in Cleveland, so the fit makes sense in that he's familiar with the offense terminology. Whether he can translate that into becoming a capable backup remains to be seen. RotoWorld

You weren't accurate enough to beat out Tebow? ....sure, I guess we'll sign you. Welcome to KC

That's probably not why he couldn't beat out Tebow.

Because Jesus > Touchdown Jesus?

 

[Couch Potato]

Now teammates in KC, Brady Quinn and Peyton Hillis were traded for each other (DEN/CLE) before the 2010 season.

 

[Sea Duck]

I suppose it's only a matter of time before the Chiefs sign Adam Weber to their practice squad.

 

[RedZone]

I realize that Quinn has had a lackluster pro career thus far, but look at the potential with this for his resurgence. Recall, he was at the table with all the top candidates during the draft (getting pulled after sitting there solo for what seemed like hours - felt sorry for him); went to the Browns which is not a great place to ramp up to the pro level, then was sent to the Broncos. Last year, Bloom was tauting (sp?) his accolades, saying he was the most accurate and lead the team best in several practices. Orton was entrenched as the starter, and when he was not traded, kept the starter role, doing ok. As the team went to shambles, the fans were screaming for their new toy, Tebow, to take the field. Quinn had a lot of hurdles there. The offense never clicked, other than supporting the obvious mismatches created by Tebow's skills as an athlete, not necessarily a NFL QB. The QB should improve the stats of all his players. Tebow is a great threat, but not a great NFL QB at this stage. He filled seats, sold jerseys, and has the clean cut image and PR of a political candidate.

With the receiving threats at KC, RB crew (including several that are also receiving threats), and an improved line, I see whoever is the QB at KC doing much better this year. Cassel, hasn't proven himself to be the value paid, and Quinn could take the reins here. This offense has the potential to surprise this year, especially as he will have nearly six months to pick up the offense with some familiarity.

I would say it is not going out on a limb to suggest that Quinn could win the starter job, and if so, do better than Flynn this season if he signs in Miami or Seattle.

I thought Quinn would go to Seattle or Oakland, KC was a bit of a surprise, but makes sense. Denver may have really hurt itself, especially if it does not get Manning.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

he is way better than that Shane Falco guy.....

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I hope KC has some alert Hot Dog vendors.

 

[Bri]

He's taking too long to put up #s. If he doesn't produce, he's done or a career backup. Quinn needs to make a stand here.

 

[Spanky24]

Denver may have really hurt itself,

But what about the fact that Quinn sucks?

is he as good as Orton.....no....but he is a better passer than Tebow.....Tebow leapfrogging him on the Denver depth chart last year, as we all know, had very little to do with the ability to run an offense and throw the ball.....as a backup to Cassel he is at least a pretty major upgrade over Palko and Stanzi.....I like the move....especially after watching Palko last year.....Quinn is not a world beater by any means, but I know this right now.....I am starting to like the overall look of the KC QB situation compared to what it may start looking like around the NFL after this Manning thing shakes out....

 

[Warhogs]

I think I might be a better passer than Tebow so that comment does not say much. I do believe that Quinn is maybe finding out that he can carve out a nice career as a solid backup QB in the NFL but I think it is unlikely that he finds more of a role than that.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

well...quite honestly as KC fan I can see him pushing Cassel.....Cassel isn't that good...KC will have two very middle of the road type guys at QB....

my main point is that with this move, I believe KC improved their QB2 situation....and I like it....and I agree that Quinn really doesn't seem to be starter worthy at this point.....however, I think after the Manning thing and the draft shakes down, there would be some teams who would have maybe liked to have brought him in for a look....and thats why I think it was a good early move by KC....there will be worse QB2's out there......heck Garrard is back in the mix....and Chad Henne was brought in to compete....Quinn can hang with those two...

 

[Raider Nation]

If you are in a league which starts 2 QBs, you might want to pick him up now. (Yes, I'm serious.)

He could replace Cassel as soon as this Sunday. Romeo is fed up with Cassel's turnovers.

Does Quinn still suck? Probably. But it's worth a minimum bid to see if you can catch lightning in a bottle with him. Take a look at KC's schedule. There is not a single pass defense remaining which scares anyone.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

it's have to be really bad to justify this bum. I cant see Casel really being pulled for this bum.

Romeo Crennel was asked Sunday after the Chiefs' 37-20 loss to the Chargers whether he considered benching quarterback Matt Cassel. Crennel said no. Cassel said it never came up.With a day to think about it, Crennel was ready to at least talk about other options on Monday. Cassel is still the starter, but Crennel began preparing everyone for a Brady Quinn sighting at some point this Sunday against the Ravens. He even said Quinn could play and could get some first-team reps this week."At some point, as a coach, you go through and you see what's happening in the game and how a guy is reacting and how he's responding to what's happening in the game," Crennel told the Kansas City Star. "If you feel he's inept, constantly making poor decisions, bad choices, then that's when you move on from him and give someone else a chance." To be fair to Quinn, he was surrounded by possibly the NFL's worst talent in Cleveland. His best receiver was Mohamed Massaquoi, who had 34 catches for 624 yards that year, and the Browns' best weapon was RB Jerome Harrison. Harrison has 371 rushing yards in the last three seasons.The Chiefs have the NFL's No. 2 rusher in Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe ranks 10th in receiving yards. Cassel has also put up 56.4 percent of his passing yards and four of his five touchdowns after halftime -- often in garbage time.To be fair to Cassel, he's much better off when playing from ahead, and the Chiefs have yet to have a lead at any point all season. Some of that, of course, is on Cassel."With the quarterback, it's always a touchy subject because that position is a special kind of position," Crennel said. "It's not difficult. The starter is still the starter if you just take him out for a series. You can put him back into the game. It doesn't say you can't put him back in the game when you take a guy out."Translation: Be ready for a Quinn series or two if the Chiefs fall way behind again on Sunday.

All I'm saying is that Quinn is worth a stash on your bench over some 6th WR you'll never start.

Aren't most qbs better when they have a lead? Especially if they have a good rb. I grabbed Quinn off waivers in a deep league, worth a flyer for sure.

[SacramentoBob]

You weren't accurate enough to beat out Tebow? ....sure, I guess we'll sign you. Welcome to KC

That's probably not why he couldn't beat out Tebow.

 

[Raider Nation]

For those unaware of what's going on...

Cassel was on a short leash coming into this week. He threw for 92 yards in more than 3 quarters. He threw 2 interceptions and fumbled the ball into the end zone on a QB sneak from the 1. Then Hiloti Ngata crushed him, and Cassel left the game with a head injury. Quinn is 3 for 3 so far.

All of this is enough for Quinn to get the nod next week, IMHO. Don't sleep on my man... he's got weapons for sure.

 

[Darryl Talley]

Can he get the ball to Bowe? That's all I care about.

I don't recall him having a quick release.

 

[Raider Nation]

Can he get the ball to Bowe? That's all I care about.I don't recall him having a quick release.

It was only three throws, but he looked calm and decisive. Also, he did throw a TD to Bowe but it got called back due to an offensive pick play.

If only that were the case. The Chiefs will continue to trot Cassel out on the field, if he's cleared. Guaranteed.I really hope they fire everyone after this season.

 

[Sea Duck]

Cassel won't be cleared. Book it. Lock of the year.

 

[dickey moe]

I was 100% wrong about Cassel this year. Cassel looks horrible. The Chiefs obviously have no confidence in their passing game. Dude looks absolutely scared on the field and his face shows it all when he's back on the sideline. At this point the Chiefs need to hand the reigns over to Quinn. He looked sharp with the few opportunities he had on the field today. What else do the Chiefs have to lose (other than more games)?

 

[gbill2004]

Quinn could be a stud QB2 rest of season.

They can't stick with Cassell, the coaching staff pretty much conceded he was too terrible to trust to do anything with the high school offense they ran in the first half vs Baltimore. They had 28 runs vs 4 passes and even ran on all 3 downs from the 20, 23, and 25 on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and goal.

3rd and goal from the 22 and they STILL ran the ball! That says all you need to know about the coaching staff's trust in Cassel.

 

[Raider Nation]

Kansas City, Mo. Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel lay flat on his back in the fourth quarter, staring up at the sky, where just a few hours earlier an airplane towed a banner calling for him to be benched.

This wasn’t how anybody expected his time as Kansas City’s starting quarterback to end.

Cassel was eventually helped to his feet and walked off the field on his own, going up the tunnel and into the locker room. He never returned, leaving Brady Quinn to try to rally Kansas City to a victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Quinn didn’t have enough time.

He led the Chiefs to a field goal on his only series, but the Chiefs defense couldn’t get the ball back in the closing minutes, allowing the Ravens to hold on for a 9-6 victory.

"If we will play like that going forward, we give ourselves a chance to win the game," Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said. "We had a chance in this game. So even though I’m disappointed in the loss, the way the team played, we played much better overall football."

That wasn’t necessarily the case for Cassel, who threw for just 92 yards and was picked off twice along with being credited for two lost fumbles.

His day finally ended when Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata got to him in the fourth quarter, hitting him just as he released a completed pass to Jamaal Charles out of the backfield.

Fans have been calling for Cassel to be benched for several weeks, and certainly have been dissatisfied with his performance for longer than that. He was booed during a celebrity softball game across the parking lot at Kauffman Stadium during Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities.

The fact that some of them cheered when he got hurt didn’t sit well with the Chiefs.

"It’s 100 percent sickening," right tackle Eric Winston said. "If he’s not the best quarterback, he’s not the best quarterback, and that’s OK. But he’s a person. And he got knocked out in a game and we’ve got 70,000 people cheering that he got knocked out."

Jamaal Charles, who had 140 yards rushing in the game, said, "It’s just not right."

It’s unclear how long Cassel will be out, but at this point every indication is that Quinn will be the starter when the Chiefs head to Tampa Bay next weekend.

 

[Voice Of Reason]

The fans aren't cheering that he got hurt. They are cheering because the inept coaching staff HAVE to put the backup in.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

I have watched every play of every KC game this year....I was excited when KC signed Cassel a few years ago, but thats just because it was an upgrade then....it has been proven over time that he was just a product of the NE system when he had a decent year there and led them to 11 wins...the recent 10-6 season by KC was a total joke and due in large part to the possibly the easiest schedule in NFL history....they weren't that good that year and got exposed in their home playoff game against BAL where they got blown out....

Cassel constantly throws his passes high....they seem to rise as the ball travels down the field....this has led to several interceptions that people say aren't his fault but they really are (let alone the ones that are totally his fault) cause the WR's, etc are having to jump to get balls and they get tipped....really surprised Bowe hasn't been knocked out.....and even on dump off passes, Cassel is not accurate, he throws the ball and the RB's have to make adjustments to catch the ball instead of hitting them in stride moving upfield and it costs this team YAC every time.....

Quinn came in and looked pretty impressive....my whole family was like "wow" after they watched his first pass.....it was in comparision to what we had been watching with Cassel so you have to take that for what it is worth, but it was accurate and had zip....passes were on a line....

I know it's popular to bash Quinn around here.....but I'm gonna make the call right now that Quinn gets the start this week and keeps the job for the rest of the year..... do not concern yourself with Ricky Stanzi....

with that said, I think Quinn could be a spot start here and there...Bowe and Baldwin are very talented big receivers and the running game is solid....they shredded BAL....McCluster is a nice option as well as Draughn and Cyrus.....defense is starting to play better and schedule is not too bad....

if you are need of a QB for some upcoming bye weeks (after week 7)and the free agent QB's have been picked over....I would consider adding Quinn now...

it's hard to expect too much but the cards are aligned and Quinn does have talent and more talent around him. He has no excuse to fail in KC, it'll be interested to see what he does.

Thanks for the insight - looking for a bye week filler for Brees in a 2QB league

 

[Area51Inhabitant]

Wow those must have been 3 darned good throws to elevate Quinn to QB2 territory. I always liked the kid so I'm definitely rooting for him here. I hope he gets a real shot here with some decent weapons unlike Cleveland and without the Tebow circus to contend with.

QB2 is only top 24, with bye weeks he basically has to beat Sanchez, Hasselbeck, Gabbert, and a few others. Not overly difficult.

 

[Young 8]

Matt Cassel (concussion) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's Week 6 game against the Bucs.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

KC could have some issues running the ball this week, although I think it will take Crennel late into the 3rd quarter to realize it and adjust....probaly down about 20-3 by then....Quinn would be a sneaky bye week start if they went into the game committing to the passing game more, but they won't until it is too late....

sometimes I wish teams (at least my KC team) would take chances more with their game plans and come in and do the excat opposite of what people are expecting them to do...but as long as Charles is healthy, Crennel will continue to lose and just fall back on "puutting the ball in the hands of my best player" (Charles).....

I am hanging on the prayer that he tries something different, because while KC's strength is running the ball, TB at home is going to commit to stopping it and making Quinn beat them....I wish they would give him the opportunity to do so and come out throwing....sucks playing from behind all the time....

 

[codyj123_321]

I have been a Quinn fan since he was drafted. I even bought his rookie jersey. I am so happy he is gonna get to play again! I'm starting him this week over Manning(who i consider the greatest ever) I told my pals sometime last year that if Quinn started i would play him on my fantasy squad. I am very confident with him aswell.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

Can he get the ball to Bowe? That's all I care about.I don't recall him having a quick release.

Throwing the ball to Bowe is Quinntessential.

Like the SD game? The had 21 plays that were not in the 2 minute offense in the first half. 15 passes by Cassel. 5/56yards, a pick and two sacks. 6 runs for Charles 46 yards with a fumble and a TD. The offense didn't have its first run until there were 6 minutes left in the first half (8th play). Or the Buffalo game? 21 plays, 13 were passing plays, first half again not counting the final couple minutes where they were pass heavy. 6/70 with 2 sacks and a fumble for Cassel.Truthfully, they need to run and run often early in the game like they did against Baltimore last week but then not be afraid to throw with play action. That is the recipe for success for KC imo. The last thing they need to do is come out early and have a bunch of 3 and outs. Win the time of possession war and let the D play.

I am hanging on the prayer that he tries something different, because while KC's strength is running the ball, TB at home is going to commit to stopping it and making Quinn beat them....I wish they would give him the opportunity to do so and come out throwing....sucks playing from behind all the time....

Like the SD game? The had 21 plays that were not in the 2 minute offense in the first half. 15 passes by Cassel. 5/56yards, a pick and two sacks. 6 runs for Charles 46 yards with a fumble and a TD. The offense didn't have its first run until there were 6 minutes left in the first half (8th play). Or the Buffalo game? 21 plays, 13 were passing plays, first half again not counting the final couple minutes where they were pass heavy. 6/70 with 2 sacks and a fumble for Cassel.Truthfully, they need to run and run often early in the game like they did against Baltimore last week but then not be afraid to throw with play action. That is the recipe for success for KC imo. The last thing they need to do is come out early and have a bunch of 3 and outs. Win the time of possession war and let the D play.

thanks budman....yeah I guess those stats don't back up impression as I watch the games.....just seemed like KC was willing to run on 3 and 5 and what not and they had no confidence in Cassel to make a play....so far this season they haven't had a lead prior to a snap in any game...last week KC ran a high school offense (although somewhat successfully if you consider success not getting blown out and scoring 6 points)....but let's be honest in today's NFL playing games like that isn't getting you anywhere in the long run....even if KC gets that TD that Cassel fumbled at the one, they probably only score 10-13 points....ain't gonna get it done....BAL just played along with us and didn't play real well by their standards...SD game they were getting blown out before they knew what hit them, went into pass mode right away....I agree they need to run and play action....but I think they need to pass more early to set up the run....so I kind of disagree with your last couple sentences.....watching that last game against BAL it seemed like we must have run the same 3 running plays about 15 times each....it really reminded me of a high school offensive game plan....would be interested to see how many times the same play was called....

i predict a very good game from him today.

KC is without hillis (not that it matters).

TB has been good vs the run.

TB has been very bad vs the pass.

TB will be without aqib talib.

TB will shut down charles dare quinn to beat them.

I think quinn will lock on to bowe all game, partly because of the weak coverage and partly because he won't know what else to do.

300 yards and 3 tds

bowe: 9 for 150 and 2

charles: 50 yards and 0 td's

Yeah, he's still useless.

Oh well, my heart was in the right place. No harm done.
