Quinn still hasn't shown he's our guy

OconRecon, you obvisouly missed the Quinn sarcasm.

Quinn had bad luck w/ an injury.

DA was the worst ranked, but its not fair to throw him in that category because he is a QB. QB's ratings are effected by everybody else around him, or he can effect everybody else around him. You can't watch the first game against Dallas, or the second game against pittsburgh and look me into the face and tell me the offensive line did not get ate alive by those defenses. Hadnot, Shaffer, Steiny, Fraley and Thomas all got thrown around like children. They couldn't keep the pressure off the QB from the split second the ball was snapped. We saw the same thing throughout the season.

Quinns last game he kept getting nailed, nailed, and nailed even more because of the Offensive line letting guys just run through. Sure they weren't all sacks, but they don't have to be sacks. Sometimes pressures and hits after the throw can be just as painful, if not more harmful, then a fair game sack.

The only good game we protected the QB was the NY Giants game. I'm not sure if its because Heiden did a wonderful job putting Justin Tuck on his ass a few times, of if it was the edition of Tucker, but we kept DA clean for the most part, and he played a good game.

Both BQ and or DA will be better off once bumblefingers and stallworthless are gone DA wasnt totally at fault last year bad recievers and a crappy running game played into it as well it would have helped if DA didnt constantly stare down Butterfingers his only target because he cant scan and read the whole field if he had he would have seen steptoe wide open many times but steptoe cant catch either so why not wing it at a double covered snail we call butterfingers for the pick off...

Yep, I may have.

However, in DA's 10-6 season he was ranked in the bottom half of the league (behind Sage Rosenfels and the 8 and 8 Texans).

Jamal was ranked fifth in total rushing yards.

K2 was third among TE's.

BE was seventh in the league.

There's a pattern of DA lagging behind the rest of the offense, which is why this board debated a QB competition during the off season last year. Its not good to have your QB ranked behind the rest of the O.
