Vikings try to get Brady Quinn? (Didnt happen) (1 Viewer)

[mosesberg]

Would like to see this happen but dont think it will happen.

Vikings need to do something though.

Word is the Vikings offered the Browns their 2009 and 2010 first-round draft picks for quarterback Brady Quinn, but Cleveland, after consideration, said no thanks.

Economically, the deal makes sense for the Vikings in that Quinn, who is under contract for three more years after this season, already has been paid his signing bonus. And the Vikings wouldn't have to spend on the draft picks. With the trading deadline recently passed, the deal could be resurrected after the season. If the Browns won't relent on Quinn, they might deal QB Derek Anderson to Minnesota.

The Vikings reportedly offered their first-round picks in 2009 and 2010 in exchange for Brady Quinn.This comes from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Charley Walters, who isn't exactly a spot-on source. He doesn't say when the offer was made. Still, if the Browns passed on such an overwhelming trade it confirms their continued concern with Derek Anderson. Walters suggests that the Quinn deal could be resurrected after the season, or the Vikings could pursue Anderson. Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune

gbill 2004, How in the world did you get that line up in any league let alone a 12 team league?

It makes no sense to me that the Browns wouldn't have pulled the trigger on that deal unless they are nearly certain that Quinn will be starting either this year or next year...

wow. vikings fans are lucky that Browns GM/Ownership has no clue how to run a team. What a dumb offer.

That's about the market value for Quinn. An '09 first and '10 first is equal to an '09 first and an '09 second. That first round pick isn't going to be very high, either. Considering Quinn was a stud prospect and he'd have an incredibly favorable contract, that's pretty much what he's worth.

 

[EBF]

Interesting rumor. Says something about Cleveland's opinion of Quinn.

The Vikes really should've made a play for someone like Pennington, Schaub (in '07), or Favre.

Hitching their wagon to Jackson set them back a couple seasons.

Hindsight's 20/20. Jackson, even three months ago, had a lot of potential.Pennington and Schaub were, IMO, both overpaid. I don't fault Minnesota for not getting them, and obviously they couldn't have added Favre.

He's looked nothing but mediocre his entire career. Heck, even mediocre might be a stretch.

Quinn sucks. Having had 1.5 years to see that and maybe cut their losses with those picks (which will be pretty high as bad as the vikes look) is the only thing that could have saved this sorry franchise.

Hindsight is 20/20, but good clubs have contingency plans for a position as important as QB. Although Jackson had upside he certainly wasn't a sure thing. What was supposed to be the Vikes backup plan? While the Browns have certainly made some poor decisions over the years, I think they've handled the Quinn/Anderson situation pretty well. Neither is a clear cut franchise QB, but at least they still have both around, which gives them some options.

Should the Browns top priority be getting the most for Brady Quinn? Or should their top priority be determining which of them (if either) is the franchise QB the club needs? I say it is latter. It is worth getting a little less in some future trade for the QB that is the odd-man-out if they wind up with a franchise QB. You don't want to trade Quinn now, then discover a year down the road DA isn't the guy, and then Quinn becomes the franchise QB they need but for the Vikings.Franchise QBs can be extremely rare. Some clubs go decades without finding one. The Browns need to get this right. They need patience.

you see.... ummm ... a very important attribute for a QB to have is to know where the ball is going when it leaves his handso I'm not sure about what kinda "potential" we are talking about here

I see quinn as a bad back-up qb, not a "franchise qb".

Vikes can have DA if they want him.

 

[HornedOne]

Charley Waters is a complete idiot. When his name comes up on MN sports radio people just laugh.

That doesn't mean the offer didn't happen, I'm just saying that Waters has zero credibility in the MN sports scene.

I just don't know how you can say definitively, "He's a backup," just as it's hard to say, "he's the next great franchise qb." Either way, there is speculation - nothing backed up by NFL snaps. IMO, I think it's prudent to wait until the guy has some games under his belt before anointing him or throwing him on the scrap heap.

This "Quinn is a below average backup" talk reminds me of all the posts saying Aaron Rodgers was a bust and that Ingle Martin was the QB of the future in Green Bay. Quinn may well end up being a disappointment, but there's no evidence to support that argument at the moment.

From what I've seen of Brady Quinn in college, I think his poor offensive line at Notre Dame took away from his accuracy. I saw him pressured and rattled at times. I'd really like to see what he could do behind a healthy Browns OL, which can dominate.
