hate to say it but mangini's silence = anderson starter
-
I am starting to think mangini is going to rotate them both in and out all season or until there is a clear winner testing them under live and ever changing conditions and basing who starts on the strenth and weakness of that opponent...wishful thinking?
Who knows mangini keeps saying the offense is comfortable with both QBs and the opponents not knowing who will start or when they will change QBs could give us a big edge until a decisive winner steps up....
I have always thought these 2 QBs could give great strenths under different circumstances...who knows..

He has already stated that he will make a choice...and that is IT! There will be no rotating. That much he has said.

I maintain that if you were going to piss off the fans and name DA the starter wouldn't it makes more sense to do this now, rather than an hour before kick off. I mean if the fans are as one sided on this argument as seems to be then there might be a riot in the muni-lot if it is announced an hour before the game that DA is starting. Why risk a chorus of boos when the fans, 99% of whom are expecting BQ, see #3 running out on the field for our first series.

Maybe his choice is to rotate the 2.

I really think that if it was going to be Anderson he would have done it already to get all of the media and fan backlash out of the way. It would be stupid and unfair to Anderson honestly to run him out there as the starter next week unexpectedly to the fans and have 1/2 the stadium booing the guy before he even attempts a pass.

He would get brutally booed as a surprise starter. Given a few weeks to get used to the idea? Would've been better.But he needed to knock Quinn out. He lost on points.
blah blah blah...Mangini doesn't give 2 shits what fans think...looking at the body of work,DA is the hands down winner...Quinn sure as hell didn't do any knocking out of his own now did he?

Going into the season I thought it was Brady's to lose. He didn't and DID outplay DA by a good margin. By simply not forcing anything or doing anything stupid the whole time. He takes what the defense gives him and manages. He's the perfect qb for our team right now.

:laughs:is he now? you base that on opinion and feelings...not facts..you had better hope your boy doesn't tank...'cause if he does where will you place your fragile little hopes then?

shep there is another possibility.. what about money? IF DA is the starter and he announces it fan backlash might mean decreased attendance......... so announcing it may not be the right thing to do...
Its another logical argument to a tree of possibilities and reasoning based on conjecture and speculation.....
lets worry about the Oline/new skill players/running backs/new offensive and defensive coordinators and schemes/new defensive players/secondary and head coach before we obsess about the starting qb...... We have an awful lot of issues and changes from last year..... the one thing we DO HAVE is depth at QB.... either one of these guys can play (different strengths) but at least we do have two starting potentials that are young.

I give this one the vote for dumbest thread of the year. You obviously don't pay attention. Mercy.

LOL...what body of work were you looking at? You claim Quinn didn't do any knocking out, but fail to mention that the "experienced" DA couldn't knock Quinn out. DA did not win this competition, especially against other opponents in the preseason.

Hmmm, I thought stats on performance were the facts. Silly me.

DA's played horrible with the exception of a few games where the whole team was on fire. Like last year with Giants. But DA most consistent trait is that he is inconsistent and you can take that to the bank.
In '07 he still was bad, he just had amazing, circus catches by JJ, K2 and BE. He still sucked. Gimme Quinn or even Couch, or Holcomb, or Frye, but not DA, please!!!

You all might want to take a look at THIS
Like I said, no starters as of yet.

actually he didn't say that. All he's said is that he's made a decision and that he will talk to both QB's separately and explain his decision to both and why and what went into the decision.
His decision could be anything, frankly. His decision could be to not make a decision. To rotate the QBs. As long as doing such doesn't mess up continuity, I actually kinda like the idea, keeps the opponents on their toes.

Total time in the NFL body of work genius... and let me counter with this...did quinn seize the job by the throat and make it his own without question
? echo answers mournfully....Quinn is a Savage pick...you remember Phil don't ya?The same guy the passed on Nagata, let a hated rival select him, while we wonder if the guy we picked instead, will ever pan out. Savage who picked D Jackson when we could have had D.ryans..quinn who qb hungry teams passed on in the draft...I don't buy into the quinn hype...not now...not untill he proves that he has what it takes to be a franchise qb...not a place holder

See, statements like this really make me wonder what world some folks are living in. Now I wouldn't be horribly surprised if DA was named starter, as there wasn't a ton of distance between the QBs. Personally I think BQ outplayed DA by a small margin and will be the starter.
But to make a comment that DA outplayed BQ and is the hands down winner... that's a ludicrous statement to make.

Just so you know...the Steelers haven't announced their depth chart as of yet either.

maybe mangini can handle the fans booing da which will happen,, but da knows the majority of the fans want quinn and he is the one that has to play under this pressure ,at home to boot,, and when da is under pressure what usually happens,,just saying....
