Play calling DA VS QUINN

It's not that most of us don't think he had a good game...he did. It's the fact that his body of work up until now has proven he cannot be the type of QB needed to get to the next level, whereas Quinn has yet to prove himself one way or the other. Hence, logical fans want Quinn to start.

I was never trying claim there was a "bias" or a conspiracy against Quinn with the play calling. I was just noting (from what I saw)...that was the way the play calling washed out... The 3rd down calls just did not give Quinn the same opportunities to try to pass the ball downfield to keep drives going. That is all I was saying.

I agree with Highway gal. Mangini is not going to show us who the starter is until AFTER next week. I believe each guy will get a quarter with the starters and mangini will name the winner and they guy will go the full first half in game 4 and into the season.

we were up by 20-0 no coach would risk an int on 3rd and long. he stayed with safe plays. it wasnt' biased playcalling

No risk at all....its not about winning, its about evaluating.

I could see Mangini not announcing his qb up until kickoff on week 1. Against a team that has us overmatched, it would make sense for him to make the Vikings prepare for both QBs. Meanwhile, Mangini should have a great strategy against the Vikings QB whom he coached last season

Risk? There is no risk in preseason. I don't think it was biased necessarily, just the way it shook out.

because in the season it is a risk, hence they practiced it in preseason. just because the games don't count doesn't mean they are just gonna do boneheaded shit that makes no sense. they practice what they will do in the regular season.

I agree.....it crazy to think the staff is rigging the playcalling....AND...if they are, that means they do like Anderson more for whatever reason and are wanting that to show on the field. They see how players interact...it could be there is a tighter knit group with DA at the helm. That is only an example and nothing I know to be fact, but with all the talk of BQ's intangibles, it could be DA brings his own set as well and his are deemed more important by the staff than those of Quinn.

It is that 07 season that Anderson has in his favor...and that is big. Coaches see that sort of thing and they don't easily toss it to the curb.

I can't believe I watched the same game as the rest of you....
The man had a 106 QB rating in the 1st quarter

Yeah but there is three more quarters in the game. If BQ looked sweet in the first and had a 106 rating and shit the bed in the second I would say something about his performance too. I am glad he started strong but he didn't finish the half strong and I doubt with the way he has played in the past that he would have gotten his rating anywhere back near 106. Manigini definitely was not happy about the int right before the half. Said Da should have ate it in his post game.

Quinn gets a no grade.

Oh really?

Did Mangini call you and tell you that?

Here's what Quinn really got none of: POINTS

He was plagued by penalties, conservative playcalling, few opportunities, and he got hit trying to go deep to Braylon.

and in his opening statement after the game he made sure to throw everybody under the bus.

what a guy.

QB Brady Quinn (On his performance)- “I think it went well but we had some penalties there that stopped a couple drives, and some unfortunate circumstances, and there are some things that we are still trying to work out. I didn’t have as many reps as last week so you just try to do the best you can with what you have to work with.”

Hey I thought we used to have a saying on here.

"If the team gets penalties it's because the QB doesn't know what the hell he's doing."

Is that rule no longer in effect?

Um, that is never what people have said. But you keep going with the broad stroke. It works well for you

And where pray tell is the throwing under the bus? Seeing as how Brady said WE, WE and I. So who did he throw under the bus again?

If he didn't want to throw somebody under the bus he wouldn't have mentioned penalties, because we know well and good who he's throwing under the bus.

Some Hyper-BQ-Crazy chick explains BQ Nation's feelings well:

If he wanted to throw somebody under the bus, he'd have mentioned St. Clair specifically.

Now why don't you go look up what the question BQ was asked prior to that statement, and you'll get your answer as to why he said what he said.
