QBR don't mean shit.

Didn't you see how non-noodle-armed that throw by DA straight to a Tenn. defender was? That thing was a LASER!!!

Timugen

And BQ comes back in for the next series late in 3rd, after the TD pass.

This is now Quinn's team and Mangini's giving him reps.

Whether Mangini announces anything or not....Quinn locked it all up with that quick 2 play TD drive.

as much as you don't want it to be....it's pretty obvious that it is, whether Mangini announces anything or not.

bq backers

Its getting late in this "competition" to be calling fans of your starting QB, "bq backers". This things over for now: Quinn starts the opener.

I thought you were a fan of the team and wanted the best guy.

Seems like the best guy proved it tonight, although, I'll admit, it wasn't a 'blow me away' performance. Unless your competition is DA.

mangini was protecting DA for trade value that was obvious. DA had like 3-4 good passes and was starting to blow up, after that dropped pick he got pulled. mangini probably has someone biting and he didn't wanna kill it. BQ got the job for sure.

Are u kidding me. If u didn't see that your crazy.

where's the lumtrain now?

I think another tell tale sign Quinn locked it up is that after his night was over the went straight to Bartel. Funny how DA didn't get another shot.

Alendor

DA spacing out early on when the ref hit him didn't help either. that idiot doesn't even have his head in the game.

Ha!

Sev, college football will be here before you know it and you can hate on the Irish all you want then. Right now, just try and be happy we're getting good & consistent play from both our QB's.

Was stuck listening to the Titans radio play by play. They complained a bit about our starters being in until the fourth. But, after the game they each stated BQ should be the starter.

I believe they said something along the lines of "He may not be Otto Graham, but he can definitely be a Brian Sipe or Bernie Kosar."

If thats the case, I can live with that.

The sign that he locked it up is that after he threw that TD pass, the next QB to come in was him. At that point (late in the 3rd,) what would be expected would be for a backup to come in or for DA (the other "starter" candidate) to come in if the competition is still on.

But Mangini put Quinn back in, giving him a few more reps.....and the other "starter candidate" wasn't seen again.

That was the point where it became clear as a bell that this is now Quinn's team.

Mangini can announce it on Monday or not - it doesn't matter. He just announced it to the world with that move.

EDIT: Just to tie things up here....Mangini is NOT going to carry this competition into the 4th preseason game, where starters for the other team won't even play. There is nothing he can learn from that.

The absolute last chance he had to see DA playing with meaningful reps was the drive late in the 3rd after Quinn's TD pass......and he put Quinn back in, throwing all the "equal rep" crap overboard all of a sudden.

This is Quinn's team now. It was his team the very second Mangini put him back in for that series.
