You aren't - you admitted you didn't see the game. Believe it or not I AGREE that Quinn needs to outplay DA by alot especially if I'm constantly talking about how easy that should be. That said, don't you think it's about time the guy with 27 starts to his name shows you an ounce of evidence he's progressed and learned from it all? 31 NFL Executives say he hasn't and so does a considerable amount of our fanbase.
I watched the game like everyone else voting for Quinn in this thread. I would say from the standpoint of MOVING the team - he vastly outplayed Dumb Ass. I'll get to the rest when I rip DA for looking like a wide eyed rookie that hasn't learnign 1 FLOCKING thing. He took the first drive down to the GB 11. Dawson would miss the field goal. Then he later drove us inside the 15 and launched a perfect strike between the 1 and the 7 on Braylon's chest in the end zone. You have the RIGHT receiver there and it's 7 points. WHERE have I heard this many times? From the DA fans so they should be the first ones to understand. The BIGGEST difference here is there was a perfect strike in the end zone before the INT. I won't use their gay double standard though - you CANNOT throw an INT there if you want to be a franchise QB. It's why we all want anything but DA.
I think the 2nd best QB I saw last night was Ratliff inspite of the 2 INTs. He moved us at times and I think he's smart enough to learn from his mistakes. One of his INTs went through the TE's hands first. It was a little high but I don't think it was uncatchable for many TEs in this league. Obviously, he needs a lot of work. That said, he got the inexperienced receivers which can make the QB look bad when these guys turn the wrong way, make an incorrect adjustment or whatever.
DA was a mess from mechanics to footwork to poise to pocket presence to accuracy to reads to leadership. You freakin name it. I REALLY appreciated the sky hook he added to his game. Maybe he was just throwing his boyfriend Loverboy a kiss. Look, I'm usually a HOMER that wants to see EVERY guy we're counting on emerging as successful. Those of you that saw this game, should really start contemplating who would make the best #2 QB.
In a perfect Utopian world it would be wonderful if we could just give him timing patterns to certain areas of the field. That's his strength. Reality? We play in a division with heated pass rushes so this isn't his Utopia.

It seems as quite a few bevvies were consumed before, during and after this thread.
I can't beleive you folks are still arguing over this"competition"
Quinn showed all he needed to. DA and BE look as if someone hit the rewind button from last season and played it back last night.
I'll assume Mangini's scoring plays are top secret and he's waiting for regular season to display his works of wonder.

I didn't watch the game, but I see where we scored zero points.So Pro Bowler Anderson obviously still has the advantage.
He has accomplished something, whereas Quinn, in year three, still has done nothing...
Zombo
--Not trying to be a dick .. but if Quinn doesn't take "the bull by the horns" ... let's go with the guy that we KNOW can win 10, hit 29 and throw for 3,7000...
Pro Bowler DA who couldn't move the #1s against GB's #2.........
Quinn had two nice drives in his 2 posessions. The first stalled out near the red zone because Cribbs read the coverage wrong on 3rd down. A FG was kicked and good, but Fraley held and then the 2nd attempt was missed. That was 1s against 1s
With a 1:50 to go Quinn marched the team right down the field into scoring position, BE dropped a TD and next down Quinn made a mistake by doing that little jump throw, which cost him power on the throw, resulting in the DB cutting under and picking. That was mostly 1s against 2s.

Awesome plan, Soupfag.That's quite a bounty on my head. You sound like a big, tough guy that doesn't mess around.
I'm sure I'm getting banned now that Soupfag is upset that I didn't watch the game and is pledging his weekend blowjob money to make sure I never post again...

And you have seen him throw 3 and 4 picks a game.
How many pro games has Quinn played in healthy? 1. How did he look in that game?

Anderson looked awful. Quinn looked much better. That is what you missed.
Who was it that said, "When you have two QBs, you have no QBs".
Being better than DA's putrid performance isn't going to do it for me.
From the raw numbers, the other QB played as well as, or better than, BQ.
Maybe, just maybe, Mangini will start the QB he knows best. Wouldn't that speak volumes???

You guys who haven't even SEEN THE GAME that are commenting on this are really starting to sound pretty foolish.
Ratliff looked like a week-old bag of ass, warmed over. But yeah, he still looked better than one of our "co-starters."

You have no idea what your talking about, all you care about is your post count.

Other thoughts...
-You have to wonder how the offense would have faired if we didn't have this damn QB competition going on. Quinn moved the ball both times. Given more than two opportunities, we may have had some points on the board. If DA were the starter, maybe there would have been a chance for his rhythm to kick in (although, we know from 20+ starts his rhythm is present not often enough).
-The right side of the line looked terrible. St. Clair looked slow. I'm thinking Quinn's quick reads and medium range pass comfort zone may be crucial this year. Hanging in the pocket waiting for the deep out to develop may not be a go-to option.
-Quinn's feet were very quiet and calm while he progressed through his reads. Ratliff had rookie happy feet often.
-Our D isn't looking to good when Rogers isn't in there.
-I think we ought to give this new coaching staff a break on preseason game #1. A little patience.

That's just it: don't we think it's about time the guy with 27 starts to his name shows us an ounce of evidence he's progressed and learned from it all? 31 NFL Executives say he hasn't and so does a considerable amount of our fanbase.
I would have preferred to see us matching TDs with GB so Quinn wasn't where he needed to be either.
That said, when DA took snaps our offense looked like it was in quicksand. When Quinn played QB - we at least moved the changes and had some degree of time of possession to rest the defense.
Ratliff showed me some positive flashes and 1 of his INTs went rhough the receivers hands. Who knows if the other INT wasn't from one of the inexperienced receivers making the wrong turn or wrong route adjustment. It could have just been a poor throw, which happens this time of year.
I'd say the QB evaluations go like this:
Quinn = C-
Ratliff = D+
DA = F
Nobody made the honor roll but DA made the Dean's List - the SHIT list
The guy with 27 starts to his name needs to show me better footwork, poise, mechanics, pocket presence, reading skills, accuracy, vision and above all, flocking coherence.
Do you know how many organizations wouldn't even consider DA for a starting job? All 31 that told us so.
- Tom F. (I didn't talk about how unchallenged Green Bay's offense was last night. It was pretty disturbing though)

I say, he needs to "manage the game", "get us into the playoffs" and win atleast 1 playoff game (don't implode). Those are my "pie in the sky" lofty hopes...L oL
But from what I saw of the team yesterday...
UGH!

Zombo said:
Ok, I lied. I WAS trying to be a dick. Sounds like Anderson was dreadful and Quinn showed promise but then threw a bad pick. OK Round One to Quinn.Problem is, I've seen better catfights in the alley behind my house.
I just want somebody to step up and clearly earn the job with command of the offense, rather than the less of two evils.
There's really not much here to analyze here, which I think makes it totally appropriate that I didn't watch the game. There was nothing to see.
I hope it leads to a great week of practice and someone stepping up next weekend and showing us all he's going to take over this offense and win football games.
Personally, I hope it's Quinn. But if it's not, I don't know if I can take another week of pussies like Soupfag crying about it.
Boo hoo hoo ... he looked better ... if only Braylon caught that ball ...
Please, dear God, let a QB step up so that we fans can concentrate on the real reason why Pittsburgh and Baltimore own us: Defense.

Way to keep up the post count with another useless post
-
One other observation, and it was by Bernie coloring the game, he recognized DA throwing into Cover 2 (tight coverage) again...and this was before the INT. That shit drives me crazy!

Wow dude, you sure are hung up on that 29 TDs, 3700 yds stat from 2007. Did you also forget the 19 INTs against one of the easiest schedules? You mention the 5 TD game, but what about the multiple 4 INT games between 2006 and 2007? What about the fact that all his wins, except ONE, were against losing teams? You love DA's stats, but he was 0-3 as a starter in 2006, 10-5 in '07, and 3-6 in '08. Seems to me that he does not bring a winning record as a starter to the table. Seems to me the fluke year for him is '07, and you want to hang the team's future on that? Quinn only has 3 games to his name. Its time that we at least see what Quinn can do so that a decision can be made at the end of the year as to whether a QB needs to be drafted or not.

Yeah, we saw it yesterday. Throw two passes, both of which should have been intercepted, one of which was.
Great xxxxing quarterbacking display right there!

Quinn. I watched the way he acted when he'd drop back. He reminds me of Tom Brady in the way he looks. Now I'm not saying he's another Tom Brady. He just looks like him with the way he seems calm and poised, for the most part.
Quinn LOOKS like a QB whereas DA looks like he's panicking a lot.

This is where I can completely agree with you. But I really think this year needs to be Quinn under center. Its time to find out what he can do over a full season. We all know what DA can, and cannot do. If Quinn isn't the guy to be the face of the franchise, then that guy will need to be drafted/acquired in the offseason.

Since you didn't watch the game...Anderson was horrible last night..I'm watching the game right now. Seriously he was just as bad as his worst performance at any point. That half a season and a great 5 td game (against a shitty Bengals team) are so far in the past with him it's not even funny. Quinn might not be the long term answer but Anderson is not even a decent backup in this league. I hope the guy knows how to invest his giant contract because he's not much better than Charlie Frye.
The interception Quinn threw was a crappy pass...it a little behind Edwards (who didn't help much in trying ot fight for the ball) but the pass on the play before was perfect and Edwards dropped it, just like last season.
Watch the game next week or watch the replay at some point this week and then I'd love to see how you can justify starting Anderson over Quinn this season.

Good points Mark!
I gotta hand it to Zombo - the entertainment level went through the roof when he showed up. I forgot all about the QBs for a happy second or two.
Unfortunately, our offense looks like quick sand when DA is leading it. Hopefully, we will become the 32nd NFL team to see this very soon. I've got my fingers and toes crossed.
All I can think of for poor Loverboy are those lyrics by John Cougar: "When the walls come tumbling down" or we could go old school with Neil Diamond's "Love on the rocks"
