DA deserves a shot in training camp. At the very least...
-
The front office is running a tight ship and all we can do is speculate.
We're either waiting to pay DA's bonus so we could get a 2nd or 3rd for him OR they're not sold on either QB.
DA isn't going to fit a ball control offense. He's eratic with a big gun, not someone you want to manage a game, more of the gunslinger you want if you're behind.
So you have to ask yourself, does either qb fit?
If one does you stick with him, if neither is you take what picks you can get and draft the guy that does fit.
IMHO, it's Quinn or we draft a guy and we're waiting for DA's bonus to increase his trade value to grab a mid to late 2nd rounder.
If it's not Quinn we pay DA's bonus, move him and move Quinn draft day.
I'm NOT saying DA can't be a good qb, but he just doesn't fit the system we're going towards. Plenty of other teams wanting an attacking air offense would probably be more willing to gamble on DA who has shown he CAN throw the ball deep to mid range when surrounded by talent and protected because then you KNOW what you're getting and what pieces you need to win with him.

Another poster spouting about Quinn being a dink and dunker huh? Looks like Frye huh?
Unreal.
Frye was known to not have an arm. Quinn was referred to having more than enough arm for the NFL. Does Quinn have Anderson's arm? Nope. Does Quinn have Brees' arm? More.
Get off it. Fact is we flat out don't know what Quinn can or can't do in the NFL. With DA we've got a better idea. Pretty simple.
I also wouldn't use New York sports talk radio as a source for anything.

Got any links there, Sony?No links just heard on talk radio in New york, guy was talking with ex GM of the Redskins Charlie C.
Just don't be shocked if its Brady Quinn thats traded and not Anderson
People can say what they want about what Quinn did against Denver, but against a bad defense all he did was dink and dunk all night
Also I believe if Mangini was sold on Quinn Anderson would be gone by now, with him not being traded that says more of there lack of confidence in Quinn than what they think of Anderson, makes me think they feel they can win with Anderson and not sure about Quinn
Also I believe if Mangini was sold on Quinn Anderson would be gone by now
I really don't know if you can make that determination. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes. But you gat bet that if DA is still here once OTA time rolls around, there will (and should be) a very good competition.

I would like to point out that a "big armed gunslinger" got our current coach's ass fired at his last gig trying to run a ball control offense and poor old DA may have a strike against him BEFORE the tapes are even ran.

He also saved the coach's job for a year.
Here's a couple of questions:
When a team sucks, has a simple coaching change ever helped, or did they have to get rid of the starters, ESPECIALLY the QB to get better? Has any mediocre QB ever bloomed under a new coach?
If the answer to both is no, then they definitely need to ditch DA. If not, then lets see what the new coaches have in mind before we assume major staffing changes at the player level.

you don't have the practice tapes. But Mangini does.
You also urgently want to believe that a bruised finger is the sole cause for Quinn's poor play, thinking that all parties interested should throw those games out the window. That may not be reality.
Fact is, Mangini and Co have a pretty good idea of what "Charlie" Quinn brings to the table whether you like it or not.
