    Beautiful.

    Quinn seems to thrive when running the no huddle. Could be that it keeps him from overthinking things.

    Lots of guys seem to thrive with it tho. It's a Qb's dream really. You can play with more instincts than structure. Palmer's offense and Couch were polar opposites and then Davis opened things up at times and Holcomb thrived til he would mess up. Obviously the offense can't go the whole game doing it but it makes you wonder why its not done more. Boomer and Kelly seemed to like it.

    This gets lost in all the QB stuff but the key for this staff is to utilize the talents they have instead of fitting a square peg into a round hole. That's all the Browns have been doing for years. If Quinn excels at certain things let him do them.

    BTW, Stanton's pick was pitiful at that juncture of the game.

    The Bills are planning to use a lot of it in order to compensate for their lack of quality pass protectors. They had Jim Kelly come in to show Trent Edwards how to run the K-Gun.

  • I was never a big Quinn guy when he was in college. It was obvious he was a gamer and pretty smart but games like these were what made/make me worry about him.

    I mean, it wasn't bad, in fact it was damn good, but it doesn't always beat the elite teams

    Ill give him this, he never seems to get discouraged or complacent.

    If he wins the job this year, I expect a lot of bumps in the road.

    And really not a great game ocon. He was inaccurate at times and made some stupid decisions but you can really see the glimpses, especially with the long ball. At times he put too much air under it but as Alo said he may have let the wind get it a couple times.

    All I know is I want to see it come regular season. I'm dying to see what the kid has got over a good stretch of starting and being the man. This is going to be a totally interesting season. TE's, RB's, oline, dline, backers, wideouts, backs.......it's all going to be interesting. Oh, and Mangini as coach after enduring RAC.

    I think Quinn can do it. After all, he is the golden boy of our Brownies.

    It reminds me why I was so strongly against drafting him, at least at #3. Quinn could end up being a very good starting QB, but I didn't see a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning-type QB, both because of the accuracy and decision-making under pressure concerns.

    I mean, imagine if Savage had picked him at #3 and put him behind a line that didn't include Joe Thomas. I don't see how that could have possibly worked.

  • No one could have played behind our OL without Thomas. He was, and remains, the best pick we've made in the first round since our return to the league. That includes passing on AD.

  • I didn't want Quinn at number 3. I had a fetish for AP big time but at the last minute started thinking logically about Thomas. I would have been happy with either but morso JT.

    He's a future HOFer folks.
