Definitely worth it. He was a first round pick with all the potential in the world then the browns ruined him, would love to see if there is anything left in him that is salvageable and at the price of a 6th.. count me in!

but it would seem plausable that the Browns would have at least considered the idea of trading Quinn for Cutler. I don’t know if McD likes Quinn or not, we’ll see and to tell you the truth, he would be an upgrade over SImms for sure IMO.

The Cleveland Browns have shown they have very little value of him, so we should offer very little value in a trade. Stupid Browns…

Having a back up QB who is right handed in place of Simms would be nice.

Quinn’s real problem in Cleveland was about regime. He was drafted by Savage/Crennel. He held out, ending any chance of winning the job outright. The Browns go on to have a great season under Derek Anderson forcing them to re-sign him.

2008 is a trainwreck. Quinn gets his shot, looks good in his first start against the Broncos during the Thursday Night game, looks good against Buffalo, then gets hurt – season over.

Now comes the regime change – out with Savage and Crennel, in with Mangini and Kokinis. That was a mess to begin with. Quinn had a large bonus due if he played 70% of the snaps. He;s given 2 1/2 games before being pulled. Anderson comes in, plays worse than Quinn did, but I believe, because of the bonus, Quinn was kept on the bench until it became unobtainable.

There was also an incident involving a fight in the weight room. Of course, the pressure of playing at home can’t help.

Now the Browns are on their 3rd regime – sure, Mangini is still the coach, but Holmgren and Heckert are running the show.

His contract isn’t a problem – he’s paid like a backup, really, with a ton of incentives based on playing time. I agree that he needs a change of scenery, but am really on the fence about him. For those that are leery of Orton’s short passing, Quinn will do the same, and more. I watched Orton attack downfield at Purdue – I also watched Quinn struggle throwing the 15 yard out with any zip, and watched him have a real hard time with elite college competition.

The Broncos don’t have a ton of picks to begin with, and a lot of holes to fill…

But he’d have to restructure his contract.

I’d give up a 5th for him. Kid can be groomed.

with Seneca Wallace and Brett Ratliff? What are their plans here, if they trade Quinn?

“Denver needs a hot quarterback”

enter this guy:

He’ll sell jersey’s to chicks, that much we know…

there is too much talent in this draft to give up a pick for Brady. Even a 6th round pick could lose us a quality player. Maybe not a starting caliber player, but a quality player. I just don’t know if Brady is worth it. He hasn’t shown a lot in his time in the NFL. I will admit that it hasn’t been a lot of time, but still..

Has there been any development that leads us to believe that Tom Bra…….. can’t perform?

Other than that McD didn’t put him in while Simms continued to flounder…

that cleveland is taking a QB early.

1. Don’t have to give up any draft picks
2. He has a strong arm, good size, and is mobile.
3. 29 touchdowns in 2007. If he did this for the Broncos it would be a franchise record I believe.
4. Threw some beautiful passes dropped by Braylon Edwards.

%@#$. No.

Move on with Orton, Tom-B and whoever-they-draft-in-2010.

And I agree with the above, I’d rather see Anderson than Quinn.

Come all without, come all within,
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Those of you have read my QB post, which I assume isn’t many of you, know that my preference is to spend a 7th either trading for Kevin O’Connelll or drafting Western Michigan’s Tim Hiller. Is that narrow-minded? Yes, but it’s the way I feel.

Brady Quinn is a “name”. I have no use for “names”. Throughout his senior season, people saw him as the next Tom Brady until he got spanked by LSU in the Sugar Bowl. All of a sudden people started looking back and thinking “Hmm maybe he isn’t a big game QB.” Throughout the draft season people noticed imperfections. There’s a reason why QB needy teams passed on him early.

Did Quinn get a raw deal in Cleveland? No question. But no rawer than say Matt Stafford. Personally, I have nothing against Quinn but I’m a believer in giving Brandstater the #2 job and see what he has – not clouding the back-up position. I’d rather bring in, as a 3rd QB, O’Connell who McDaniels has worked with or take a fresh start with Hiller – who Denver met with in Kalamazoo.

Maybe he is no good. I have (practically) not seen him play but then, neither has anybody else.

Or we could be talking about a three way trade. Quinn to KC, Cassell to Denver, Scheff and a pick to Cleveland?

A player with talent isn’t automatically going to flourish if he’s not in the right environment. Every player needs good coaches and a situation where he is put in a position to succeed, and the Browns seemed to think – the way a lot of fans do – that a hot prospect QB would just step onto the field and magically solve everything else that was wrong with the team.

I wouldn’t mind him getting a shot here in Denver, but I am wary of what we would give up for him. It would all depend on the price. But I think he’s worth the risk for a team with a good QB coach and a good OL.

If he dosen’t think he can groom him do we really want him?

we could use that same pick on another late round QB development prospect who would be more of a blank slate for McDaniels to mould to his system without the mental baggage of losing in Cleveland.

Either way even if we do get him it adds to our diverse QB line up as we do need a male model to balance out the neckbeard :)

I know he got a bad deal in Cleveland with all the changes up top, however I don’t think he would be a good pickup. He has talent as a QB, just not something to be a full starter.

In his defense though, he also had to deal with being rotated from starter to being on the bench. I mean no QB can expect to get in a rhythm when they aren’t really given a chance to play for an extended period of time. With that said and with McDaniels knowledge of the QB position, I still say no despite that he is an upgrade over Simms.

He’s basically Neckbeard except he has upside. Why not try it?

I’d even do it for a 5th but alas, we have not a 5th : (

We need to replace Simms and for a 6th round pick I’d be fine letting TomB & Quinn compete for the #2 QB spot in TC & preseason. His contract is already backup QB money anyway. Not much downside the way I see it. If he doesn’t work out it won’t hurt us too bad. On the filp side, McD just might bring out the best in the kid.

I prefer a QB who isnt more impressed by how much he can bench vs how he can be a better QB.

otherwise no….

Quinn was a victim of the Cleveland Browns. Don’t beleive me? Look at their awesome group of receivers he has to throw to and the Hall of Fame coaches he has gotten to work with (sarcasm)

Just wanted everyone to know that I will be a Bronco fan if Quinn is on the team.

I think he’s damaged goods. QB’s who start their careers in a situation like that have a hard time ever recovering.

…but no way he can be had for a 6.

Quinn is def. a good QB,he needs to be on a team that can give him the right chance and the right grooming.With that in mind i’d say in bout 2-3 yr’s Poss. 4 He would be a big force to be feared ! Like any QB some fit into the team drafted and some dont…..All i think is he needs tobe in/on the right team (Broncos or not) put into the right team/scheme and groom him WHO’A !
