Brady Quinn to start Thursday night! (2 Viewers)

:goodposting:

Interesting that they decide to do this following an Anderson game that wasn't even that bad...

Still though, tis the right move I think.

Did your tv lose its signal in the 4th quarter?
:unsure: It wasn't a good performance. If anything, it was a game that defined Derek Anderson as a QB. He's capable of looking good when it doesn't matter, but he's wildly inconsistent and he doesn't have the mojo to get the job done in pressure situations. He has always been a tease since his college days. That hasn't changed. Him getting benched for Quinn was a predictable development. Now we'll see if Brady can seize this opportunity.

No, I was looking at his stat line. I know he threw that interception near the end of the game, but it was his only interception. He was 17/33 for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. A crucial interception yes, but what I guess I was trying to say was that he's had a LOT of other games that were much worse than that. They should replaced him with Quinn a lot sooner.

I was at the game. That was the first home game this year when everyone in the stadium was chanting "BRADY, BRADY, BRADY!!!"

He looked (and played like) a deer in headlights after that Braylon drop.
 
Drop BE and The Soldier a bit. Bump to JamLew?
As a Braylon Edwards owner, I've been looking forward to this day all year. :goodposting:
I don't think that I'd be all that excited if I was an Edwards owner. At this stage of his career Quinn is just a younger version of Brad Johnson, the checkdown king. Edwards forte is the deep ball, when he can catch it.

Sometimes you have to watch what you rish for because you just might get it.Brady Quinn will ultimately fail.
Excellent insight and analysis here.
This isn't the first post on Brady Quinn, there are some in depth discussions on why he'll succeed or not. My in depth opinion can be found in there if you really want it on why I feel the way I do.

:goodposting: However, I'm thinking all that Muscle Milk may cause Quinn to huck it deep more often than normal. "NOW I'M DONE!" I always say that when I'm done with anything, too. Just so everybody knows that I'm done -- you know? :P

Better than being the king of throwing every pass long, intermiediate and short with no touch and at a million miles per hour.

I'm a Bray owner and I'm not sure that Quinn is gonna suddenly improve his league leading 12 dropped catches... It's not all DA's fault. I mean look at that 60-70 yarder that Bray flat out dropped yesterday. THe pass was right on the money.. not to mention the other 11 passes that Bray muffed this year. But hey, if he catches them all for Quinn then HOORAY!
 
I had to check out the forums to see if anything had been announced yet. Seeing this thread makes my week!!

Actually I think you have to bump KW2 as teams will rush Quinn heavily and he'll need to dump the ball to the TE a lot. I might even say bump BE due to simple math. If Braylon only catches 50% of the balls that hit his hands and DA can only get %50 of his passes in the same zip code, it stands to reason that Quinn should give him twice as many passes to drop. :coffee: That's a step up, isn't it? I actually think the drop in the verticle threat may hurt Jamal the most. Pass blitzers can become run blitzers pretty easily and a slower Jamal needs that cushion that the vertical game gives him to average his 4 yards per carry. Since he doesn't run outside a whole lot anymore, he'll be met with a lot of blitzing LB's and safeties. He might even give up some carries to Wright or Harrison just to show enough of an outside running threat to keep teams honest.
 
Had Brady Quinn not held out as a rookie two summers ago, he might have won that starting job outright. Now we officially know the price he paid for holding out. 24 games.

Brady Quinn played with a horrible OL in college, and that hampered his play at times. Its hard to be accurate with the deep ball when you are getting hit and sacked an insane amount of times. His ability to lead the Fighting Irish despite that situation is actually impressive. I'm very excited to see how he can develop behind the quality blocking he will enjoy with the Browns. This is a very good situation for him, and not because he's from Ohio.

I'm referring to his play in pre-season games. The coaching staff even commented on that Quinn was not going thru his progressions and would bail on the play and just throw to the check down receiver.

I agree. I would bump up Winslow and Heiden and downgrade Edwards and Lewis.

Might be shellshock from Notre Dame. Probably will have to be patient with that tendency, and hope he snaps out of it. That could seriously take a few years.
 
I don't have a very high opinion of Brady Quinn, but he didn't have much trouble chucking it up for that big WR at Notre Dame to make plays on. If I played Braylon last week I would keep playing him.
