Brady Quinn

IrishofNDMan · #1 08-19-2007, 12:32 AM

Nicely done in his first game. 13-20, 155 yards, 2 tds, and 0 ints. He was more like 13-16, because 4 of his incompletions were when he spiked the ball to stop the clock.

I know he was up against 3rd and 4th stringers, but he didn't have the best players on the team around him, and he made the best of his opportunity. Hopefully he can prove all the Quinn haters wrong, and get the last laugh at the people who let him slip to 22.

they didnt 'let' him slip to 22. once the dolphins passed him up, the next teams in the draft didn't need him....it's not personal, it's business.

Yeah he did it against Who? Detroit in the 4th period.

One of the TD's was about a 35 yard run, it was a screen. I actually like the guy though. He showed some smarts and patience even if it was against the last string. It will give him a chance to play against some first team defenses in upcoming preseason games.

He made one excellent scramble and a nifty little toss to well covered receiver and he hit him perfectly on the side of the end zone.

I think Quinn is going to be good. But I really hope he gets to sit most of this year as I dont see the Browns offense capable. A QB can only do so much on a less than stellar offense. At least he is playing, and he is not on the RAIDERS like the LSU QB. That would not be fun. That was one of the most pitiful offensive units in football in the last 5 years. And he does not have to be near Al Davis.

It was the most pitiful offensive line in professional football history.

As far as a unit...they had excellent wide recievers (one was the subject of double coverage on every passing down...and was playing with injuries) the other rode the bench the entire season for reasons related to insubordination.

Their running backs are adequate, their quarterback play was only so far below average because of the fact the offensive life couldn't block anyone.

The 2006 Raiders offense is the ultimate example of how bad a unit with talent at the skill positions can look when no one up front can block.

I made my brother some bucks last year when the Rams came into Oakland after it was very clear how bad they were. They were giving points to the Rams who had a good running attack and the Raiders defense was also not good against the run. I knew the Rams would cram the ball down their throats and then the Raiders offense would do what? with very little time with the ball.
One of the most outrageous lines I have ever seen. I looked for injuries on the Rams I figured something had to be wrong. I think the final was like 20-7 Rams. I was totally stunned by that line. It was absurd.

Cant bet here or I would have. And I rarely even present my brother with picks, but I had to call him on this one, not the other way around.

Sorry. Back to Quinn. I think he will be fine.

Seriously. With Al Davis gone totally senile, I would not risk my body on that team. I personally would sit it out while maintaining fitness.

Hi....I am The Care-La...you are The Stupid.

Why don't you consider that 7 completions were to the running back going down 5 yards and stopping.Boy ...Quinn sure went through his checkdowns VERY fast!

That was a prevent defense for all time.

IrishofNDMan · #12 08-19-2007, 02:01 PM

Quinn was antsy to show what he could do.

"I'd been holding a clipboard for one game and three quarters," he said. "It's been tough to wait it out."

As for entering the quarterback race, Quinn knows that's not his call.

"That's not my decision," he said. "I think anyone of those guys could have done that facing that situation in the two-minute drill. The defense was in soft coverage."

Maybe so, but Quinn didn't make any mistakes either.

Quinn knows that it was against 4th stringers, and a good passing situation. All I am saying is that he played good and made the best of the situation he was given.

last report i heard. the two sides are far apart and have not held talks in 2-3 weeks. report was, money was close enough but the little details are not close. raiders are in no hurry because they signed culpepper.

I'll give the guy this... he can at least claim for awhile that he's more productive than JaMarcus Russell

Irish: promising start for Quinn! Hate to rain on your parade.....Jimmy Clausen picked up for transporting alcohol...a freshman,and already the rules don't mean anything to him! Wonder if Weis will bench him for a game?

The Herd is calling for a Purdue victory over ND this year. I think I'll back him.

Every year in football 2 things can be counted on. 1. Notre Dame will be overrated- happens every year! 2. A notre dame qb coming into the nfl whos suppose to become a star who doesn't pan out. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is a reason quinn didn't go high, hes not that good. Hes the next rick mirer. The nfl defenses are gonna have a hey day playing against him. As for notre dame the one thing they have going for them is their coach. Oh yeah their schedule too. Join a real conference and play somebody and get off your high horse. I seem to remember a bowl game against LSU where notre dame and quinnn got their asses kicked back to south bend.

I love you. Great post!

Being a Browns fan, the one thing I don't want is for Quinn to start the year as the starter. I'd more prefer a Carson Palmer approach to him where he sat behind Kitna the whole year before taking over. Not that the Browns have anyone as good as Kitna, but I saw what happened to Tim Couch when they rushed him his first year...not pretty. If Quinn starts before week 10 I'll be very unhappy. They are a bad football team. No need to rush throwing him to the wolves.

Look at Notre Dames schedule JACKASS!!!! It's just as hard as any team in a conference, and they open up their season against real teams, not these cupcakes such as temple, eastern michigan, and troy. Say what you want about Notre Dame, but everyone knows they don't play an easy schedule.
