Brady Quinn sucks and always has! Can we please put Derek Anderson back in. I’m so sick of people stating the case for Quinn that he was a better round draft pick (Tom Brady) was a 6th round draft pick. Or Quinn is from Ohio… I’m from Ohio should I be quarter back… The guy is a stiff I think they pulled Derek Anderson out last year after he scored 27 points but still lost because of the defense… When Derek was in the offense was not a problem it was the defense, so why did we change the offense around.

A high round draft pick doing nothing for us just like the old days with Bernie. The difference is Bernie could throw but not run. That interception quinn threw on 2nd down and 2 to go with no pressure, I mean no one within 4 yards. That just makes me give up. DA had a hell of a season with no Defence to back him up. That was the best QB since SIPE!!!

I was just doing it to compare 4th start vs 4th start. Next week will be 5th start vs 5th start. By the end of the year it should work out. It is similar age, similar situation & similar overall schedule. Obviously each start will not match up as talent level. For instance in Cincy two DA had a horrible game, I most certainly think that BQ will win that comparsion (that game is against the raiders).

You weren't comparing anything, just doing your typical Andersonite drivel. It is amazing people want to whine about Quinn, when his impact on the game, in the end was quite overrated.
The Browns were uncohesive pile of sheet, the coaching staff Tresselesque playcalling and players trying to figure out where to get in position at.
Yet, we whine about Quinn. Mercy.

You don't have to wait for check down routes to develope (unless we are talking a TE or RB chip before the route). That's why they are check downs. They are the quicker developing route.Exactly. that's why Quinn loves them so much. And that's how you can complete your 14 of your first 23 passes and still have less than 100 yards.

This is why I have never been a fan of Quinn.
Quinn was sacked 5 times a-la Charlie Frye because he holds the ball too long. He does this because he waits for his check down routes to develope. This is because he cannot throw an accurate deep ball to save his life. He moves around the pocket too much as well. He did slightly better in the second half with this, probably because the O-line and coaches gave him hell about it during halftime, but ended up taking more sacks. All of this is because throwing it deep is just not an option and never will be for him.
Before I get replies telling me that you can win without the deep ball let me elaborate.
When your QB cannot throw the deep routes or 10+yard outs, you become very limited on offense. Remember Braylon and KII with Frye? Now remember Braylon and KII with DA?! Remember our O-line with Frye? Remember our O-line with DA? When your QB is as limited as Frye or Quinn is, you have to throw away half of your playbook. That is an absolute recipe for failure. Adding to the lack of essential NFL tools Quinn is also in a state of complete panic in the pocket.
I'm out!
PS. This is my first post! It feels good to be here!

Nope, Quinn got sacked five times because the o-line was a sieve. I lost count of the number of times he rolled out to avoid pressure. Anderson the statue would have gotten knocked out of the game by halftime with the kind of heat the Vikes were bringing.

I am talking about the RBs and TEs. That's because those are usually the checkdowns (on any team) and they seem to be his favorite targets and so waiting on them is getting him sacked too many times and getting us in too many 3rd and 7s.
Check down routes are usually delayed. RBs and TEs typically stay at the line for pocket support, and then go into their route when the timer in their head expires (2-3 sec) and there is nobody to block. Sometimes TEs run short quick routes but those are mainly on plays where the TE is NOT the checkdown but rather, the 1st option like on pop-passes and hitches. That rule also applies to RBs. They are typically the 3rd option on a play. Why would the 3rd option have a quick developing route? They would be left standing in one spot waiting for the QB to work his way through Braylon, Furry, and Cribbs. TEs and RBs aka; "checkdowns", are nothing but a safety net for an offense unless you have Tony Gonzalez, Witten, D. Clark or Gates. Brady uses them as the main offensive weapon. This will not get us very far at all. We will become a one dimensional, restricted offensive team. That's an opposing defense's greatest ally and our defense's worst enemy.

We thought the same thing about Frye. We talked about how bad the O-line was even though it looked really good on paper. Then, DA comes into a game where they know we must throw. They pin their ears back and bring the house and what happened? He gets sacked once or twice in three times as much playing time as Frye. DA doesn't get sacked because he stands in the pocket (this is a good trait by the way) lets his O-line do their jobs and gets 2 more seconds to throw than BQ does. This makes the O-line's job much, much easier. When your back is turned to your QB and he bails out of the pocket too soon, the guy you are engaged with changes direction and angles towards your QB and you don't know where he is anymore, and so you either have to hold or let your guy go. If you know where your QB is going to be, you can hold your blocks accordingly, giving your QB another second or two of time. This is why I say he looks "panicked" like Frye. He can't sit still. He must improve on this, soon.

First post yada yada. We need to trade Anderson now or half of the fan base is going to be bitching about Quinn all year every time we don't win. This isn't going to help Quinn's confidence. Trade Anderson so Quinn knows he won't get benched and he may play differently/better. If Quinn doesn't show any signs of improvement, draft a QB.
Going to be real sick of DA fans every time the team loses and have to read 400 posts about how DA would have won us the game, when we wouldn't have because we have too many other holes.

A check down is any of the available receivers in the route that are not your first read. It is often a TE or RB. But when and where they get out constantly changes. The check down or dump off is the saftey valve for when primary read is covered or the pass rush pressure requires you to get rid of the ball sooner than planned for. It can be a back sitting off toward the sideline near the line of scrimage, a swing around the end, anyone setting up in a open spot in a zone, a out, an in, etc. But check down routes are all routes designed for quick devleopment so their is the saftey valve against pressure. You can't dump off to avoid quick pressure on a slow developing route.
Did Quinn go to his check down at times sooner than maybe he needed to? I think so. How much I can't say as I don't have the luxury of watching the game film from the endzone camera.

Which is it, did Quinn stay in the pocket too long waiting for his check down or did he flee the pocket too soon? Because you are changing between the too.

Guess who else's job gets more difficult when the QB leaves the pocket? The defense.
1. They now have a moving target for the pass rush rather than just running at the tallest stationary thing on the field.
2. The DB's world just got turned upside down.

Because you are changing between the too.I never said he "stayed in the pocket" too long. If I did that wasn't what I meant. I think I said he holds onto the ball too long AND he runs around too much. All signs pointing to a QB who doesn't have faith in his abilities. He reminds me of Charlie Frye.
I really hope he improves, I really do for the sake of the team, but I just don't see it. I get the impression Mangini wants to give him his shot in a throw-away season so when he goes and gets a QB next year, through trade or free agency, he can say he tried everything. Quinn just looks like a buff Charlie Frye to me.
DA isn't the answer either, but I do feel like he gives a better chance to win this year.

The only way a defense is in trouble with a scrambling QB is if it's Micheal Vick or if the QB can get the ball down field. Brady isn't that guy and he has yet to show anybody that he can beat you while scrambling. If I'm a defense, I take my chances with Brady on the run all day.
MASSIVE difference between Ben and Brady. One, Ben is HUGE and has a HUGE arm. This helps because when he starts to scramble, they go DEEP! TEs sprint up the seam and WRs run deep posts. They can do this because he has the arm and the ability. For 99% of QBs, a throw on the run ends up an incomplete pass or an incredibly difficult short completion resulting in a WR getting nailed. I am also glad you brought up this comparison because Ben also gets sacked more than anybody else in the league. Ask any coach in the game if they would rather have Vick or Peyton? Cunningham or Marino? Tarkenton or Unitas?

When and where they get out changes due to whether or not they need to stay in and pass block or not. But they will always end up in one general area according to what they play requires of them. Hitch, in, out, post, 5, 10, 15 yards, whatever the play asks for so the QB will know where his "checkdown" will be..
I think you just explained it the same way I did. The only difference is, you think a check down is a quick route. The only time you go to a check down quickly is when you see a blitz coming and you and the WR see the hole that will be left and you try and hit it quick to the TE, RB, WR or whoever. This is not a check down, this is a hot read.
Back to the point though, Brady is extremely limited in what he can do and he is far too uneasy in the pocket. I just really need to see this change soon. I don't think any of us want to see this QB question unanswered for another year.

You're missing the point. I'm not talking about a "running QB." I'm talking about what a QB leaving the pocket does to the defense. Yes, Big Gay can make the throws deep on the run, most can not. But his receivers know their role once they see him move. As for the D, when they see a QB leave the pocket, that fouls up the read they made prior to the snap and they have to adjust their coverage from a play or scheme, and evolve (dissolve) it into backyard follow your man coverage.
Plays don't just "break down" on offense only.

First part we agree and are on the same page
Second part, I am not confusing the terms. My point is the check down receiver (WR, RB, TE) is not always a guy blocking and is never a slow developing route. It's purpose is to be a safty valve. Whether it is needed because of blitz getting threw that wasn't read at pre-snap, because pressure that gets in faster than expected (i.e. guys blowing past or around Womack and St. Claire such as the case several times Sunday), or the primary read is not open. It's a route that is to be available and open as a resort to make something of possibly nothing.
Brady is limited based on what?
I did not see Brady looking uneasy in the pocket (other than when pressure was coming at him). Does he need to do a better job at times of staying with the primary receiver (letting the play devleope) and not going to the check down as soon? Yes, I think there are times where he went to the check down to soon. But there were times where he didn't as well. Does he need to maybe take some more shots down field? Yes, I would think he does. These are unfortunately the type of things we have to wait and see if it improves on. They are all the things that come to NFL QBs over time.

Quinn is fine, it's the O-Line that is the problem
Somewhat naive.....no??

Absolutely naive.
To claim Quinn isn't a (major?) part of the problem is more purposefully blind than naive. Is the the entire problem? Not from where I sit. But we need to see improvement. This Denver game will be a pretty big indicator for him, Daboll and the o-line, each of which needsome major redemption.
That said, and as lame as we looked, it sure as shit isn't panic time yet. Not sayng Quinn is Aikman or Manning, but they sucked early on too and were given time to improve and develop. That's the tricky think with young quarterbacks...how much time do you give them before you pull the plug???

Nope, Quinn got sacked five times because the o-line was a sieve. I lost count of the number of times he rolled out to avoid pressure. Anderson the statue would have gotten knocked out of the game by halftime with the kind of heat the Vikes were bringing.
We thought the same thing about Frye. We talked about how bad the O-line was even though it looked really good on paper. Then, DA comes into a game where they know we must throw. They pin their ears back and bring the house and what happened? He gets sacked once or twice in three times as much playing time as Frye. DA doesn't get sacked because he stands in the pocket (this is a good trait by the way) lets his O-line do their jobs and gets 2 more seconds to throw than BQ does. This makes the O-line's job much, much easier. When your back is turned to your QB and he bails out of the pocket too soon, the guy you are engaged with changes direction and angles towards your QB and you don't know where he is anymore, and so you either have to hold or let your guy go. If you know where your QB is going to be, you can hold your blocks accordingly, giving your QB another second or two of time. This is why I say he looks "panicked" like Frye. He can't sit still. He must improve on this, soon.

An immobile pocket quarterback would have gotten killed all things being equal in the Vikings game. Quinn holding on to the ball too long? Were you at the game? Ever consider Quinn was holding on to the ball too long because no one was open?
As to DA, yeah he stands in the pocket, and his decision making and release are half of what Quinn showed me. So Anderson's got a better arm than Brady- whoopee!!! So did Jeff George, and where did that get him? MHO is Quinn's arm is plenty strong enough, and his overall accuracy is way better than DA's. Derek has yet to prove he can throw a short touch pass, or check down when defenses take away his deep option. If he hasn't learned to do that by now, it's never going to happen. I long ago tired of seeing Anderson throw swing passes into the grass, or 5 yards ahead of the outlet receiver.

Great, now everyone is going to start blaming the WRs for our QB failures.
Braylon is 6 ft 3 inches and runs a 4.40. First, a QB needs to get him the rock. Second, he needs to catch it. Browns are not doing neither.
