Brady Quinn - Anthony Spencer

[superpunk]

Ah, my fire Wade compadre, don't be too quick on the draw on this one. We have to see how Romo, Spencer and Felix actually finish in the long run, and we have to see how Quinn finishes.

ANDDDDDDDD, don't forget the original premise (as misinformed as it was!), I wasn't including Felix in my musings, I was only going SPENCER VS. QUINN, which (I want this on the record), Lab says he would do straight up.

Lets see how that one turns out!

I think "wait and see" was the point I was trying to make. Spencer and Felix have looked every bit as impressive as Quinn did last night in their limited time, AND they're doing it in positions we can actually use.

If we had drafted Quinn, the best case scenario is that he's an adequate backup for a few years. Then, when his contract is expiring, someone sees enough in him to offer us a first rounder that we had invested in him. That is the BEST we could hope for, IMO.

The worst case scenario is he's here for a few years, he leaves to become a starter somewhere else instead of continuing to backup Romo, and then we've wasted a first round pick and we're all bellyaching that Spencer is racking up 10 sacks a year in Pittsburgh and we have noone to complement Ware.

Spencer is/going to be a great player......

I would trade Carp for him......

Quinn is no ROMO

Brady Quinn will be > than Romo in 2 years....

Romo is a fad.. Quinn has staying power.

Romo is a fad.. Quinn has staying power.

Brady Quinn isn't in Tony Romo's universe. It isn't even close! Quinn isn't very accurate, and Romo is straight up bullseye. That is just one area.

Did Quinn complete one pass over 10 yards last night? I saw Winslow bending to the ground to catch the ball on short passes.

In Romo's first game the G-Men, how many pick's did he throw?

Right..... and he was already 3 1/2 years in the system...?

c'mon everybody do the twisty twist.

mash potato!

I don't know, but one was batted up in the air - his first one.

The thing is Romo threw some picks, but he was bulls eye on most of his other passes, and he threw a couple of TDs as well.

It's silly to even compare Quinn to Romo right now.

 

[dcfanatic]

Really? It'd been nice to have someone for only 3 games, rather than have our future set at both OLB positions?

I'd say that would be miserable. Not to mention Felix Jones.

Exactly. I tried to stay away from this tread because it's ridiculous.

Brady Quinn isn't anything just yet.

 

[PullMyFinger]

You don't draft a back-up QB in the first round, especially one that sucks.

ROTFL :laugh2:


So true, so true.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

And what has he done since? Quinn would be lucky to achieve half as much on the field.

 

[burmafrd]

As was pointed out a lot of the hate for quinn here is because he went to Notre Dame. If he went anywhere else it would be VERY different.

He executed the Browns game plan about as well as it could be done.
Love the idiot who claimed he was not accurate- just typical stupidity.

a 1st round bus driver:laugh2:

 

[Section446]

Spencer > Quinn

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

And what has he done since? Quinn would be lucky to achieve half as much on the field.

Would be pissed... but not shocked if Quinn won a playoff game before Tony.

If someone wants to argue that Spencer will turn out better than Quinn, fine. But anyone who would argue that Quinn didn't play well Thursday night and doesn't show promise, is just a football idiot. Not saying they are an idiot, idiot. Just saying a football idiot.

Why in the world can people not lay aside their bias to be able to be honest about things?

"HE SUCKS"

Really? I mean is that an honest football assessment? Didn't even Deion Sanders who seems to have a major bias against the kind of QB that Quinn represents have to admit that he played well?

When you say he didn't play well you just make yourself look bad. If you want to argue that he can't sustain it, fine, but the guy did it, NO MATTER WHAT DEFENSE HE PLAYED AGAINST, on ONE DAY'S WORTH OF PRACTICE.

Give me a break, that is a good performance by any honest standard of measure.
