    you know, to be honest... I could care less if DA is good at the short passes.

    When the offense clicked the last two years, he wasn't just managing the game, he was one of the guys that made it go. He was incredible.

    I don't want a game manager. I want a star.

    DA could be a star, its yet to be seen if he can be one consistently.

    I have yet to see what Quinn can do. He may be able to be a star as well.

    But I'd rather a gunslinger, a gambler, than another Trent Dilfer.

    DA threw two TD's and 1 INT today.

    Quinn was consistent but nothing special.

    I give it to DA for day 1.

    He was the worst ranked offensive player on the team in '07 and the worst ranked QB in the NFL in '08. How so?

    Mangini seems to have more of a game manager style to me. I'm not sure he wants a swing for the fences approach.

    He has been given his chance.

    I see the attraction of a big arm at QB. It's amazing the way DA can throw deep. However, I get the feeling Mangini is not the type to be wowed by it. He seems to be the type of coach who wants game management, no mistakes, ball control, and safe/high percentage passes. All of this favors Quinn.

    We're all starting to buy into Mangini's QB competition line. I do believe he wants to see what both can do, but I still think Quinn can only lose this thing is he stinks up the place. A draw favors Quinn.

    I'd just like to ask PLEASE let's not get into the tired old QB debates here. We can do those in another thread. The info being given by those that were actually at the practices is incredible. Thanks guys! if you want to debate what happened in 2007 and 2008 take it to another thread.

    Brady rules DA drools.

  • Thanks to all you folks keeping us informed on camp.

    This year i refuse to get all swept up in how pretty a ball DA throws.

    This year the qb needs to earn my respect in games.

    I really wish i could go to camp...570 or so miles is a little far to drive for a practice.

    Any pics and reports is what I count on...thanks in advance.

    I hear ya Ballpeen! I used to enjoy making the 4 hour trip from Rochester, NY almost every year. Now that trip is 8 hours from Nashville so I'll greatly appreciate any pictures or reports. There's been a lot of good info shared in this thread. I'm just wondering how long after that picture was taken of Skippy and Riff that they had to take the "all you can drink" signs down in that HOT Upper Deck.

    Yikes...that's a disturbing picture...a little too close as well. Impressive that Riffer has two beers in front of him or is it that he is just slow and couldn't keep up with Skippy's power drinking?

    Skippy....had any "dolly" issues lately?

    After 2+ years of DA. We all know what DA can and can't do. We need to find out what Quinn can do over the same 20+ game span. Give the kid a chance finally.

    Also, here's a good site that gives highlights by the hour.

    Looks like Quinn threw a "deep" TD later in the day. Imagine that, Quinn can throw a "deep" ball after all. (sarcasm of course)

    I'm sticking with Mangini & Amber

  • Any of you Peaches going to camp this afternoon?

    I'm heading after work from Solon to Berea and meeting Satn inside the facilities. I'll try to take some pics if I can figure out how on my cell.
