Former Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, who was traded to the Denver Broncos today for running back Peyton Hillis and two future draft picks, talked exclusively to the Plain Dealer today. Here is the transcript:
"Obviously there are things that are out of my control. It's a great opportunity for me to play under a great coach (Josh McDaniels).''
"It will be a fresh start for me and great opportunity with a very talented team and it should be a lot of fun.''
(On starting in Denver?)
"At this point, I'm just looking to create a role for myself on the team. Anytime you're in a situation like this, that's all you can really do is just go in there and learn the system, get to know your teammates and coaches, everyone else and that's really my focus right now. All of those things will take care of themselve in the end.''
(On the Browns turning to Jake Delhomme instead of him)
"It's really hard to try to figure out what it is. Coach Mike Holmgren has had a lot of success, and I'm sure the decisions he's making, he's got a lot of reasons for them and he's doing what he wants to with the team. It's not really for me to question. I'm a Bronco and I couldn't be happier to be heading over to Denver. It's a storied organization, and a beautiful city. It will be fun experiencing it and moving on with this part of my life.''
(On his love affair with Browns fans)
"I had a wonderful time in Cleveland and I say that because of the fans -- the fans were so great and everyone was so welcoming and loyal to me. Even though I battled through some tough times, I think the fans stuck with me and I can't thank them enough for all of their support.''
"I wish things would've worked out differently with Cleveland. I really wanted to be the guy to turn things around and turn the tide, but that's not the situation I'm faced with at this point. All I can do is move on and look toward the future and look toward Denver at this point.''
(On mixed emotions)
"I think you just have to give yourself a dose of reality. Things don't always work out the way you want them to in life. I know God has a plan for me and obviously those plans are leading me out to Denver right now. At this point, I'll just continue to work as hard as I can and do the best I can to get in there and be a catalyst or some sort of positive entity to the Broncos team.''
(On some sadness to leave)
"Obviously not being able to play close to home near my family and not being able to play for the team that you always rooted for growing up -- yea, there's some sadness there, but there's a lot of things that are out of my control, so you can't sit there and think about those kinds of things too much.''
"The biggest thing for me is being appreciative of the fans. For the time that I was there, I can't thank them enough for their support. They're as loyal as can be. They'd always keep us in games even when we were down, helped bring us back. Hopefully they'll always continue to have that enthusiasm. It's a great place to play and a great team and organization to be a part of.
(On receiving a fair shot here?)
"Looking at the situation, it's not really for me to decide that. I just wish things would've gone differently in Cleveland. I hope they have success in the future. I hope coach Holmgren can get things turned around for them.''
(On did he ask for trade)
"No, there was no request for a trade. The first I learned about it was when (General Manager) Tom Heckert informed me of it. But when they signed Jake (Delhomme) to the deal they did, the writing was kind of on the wall at that point.''
"One of the biggest things coming out of this is that you're going to a team that really wants you and came and got you. I'm looking forward to the opportunity. Hopefully I can continue to learn and grow and get better. Hopefully having a coach like coach McDaniels will allow me to do that.''
(On his confidence)
"No matter what the situation, I've always felt confident in my ability and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to show that in Denver.''
(On his Lis Franc foot injury)
"It's doing great. It's really progressed very well. I'm just now coming into 100% recovery and feeling great. I look forward to competing and working with the guys in the offseason workouts (starting this week).''
(On selling his house here)
"I did. So I'm happy that worked out as well. Things sort of fell into place.
"Obviously there's a lot of changes going on and coach mike holmgren has his rhyme and reason. I'm sorry it couldn't have lasted longer.'

Strong character
I think Quinn really will be received well here in Denver, and the comment I really like is that he’s excited to get to work this week. If KO doesn’t report to OTA’s, Quinn automatically has that leg up in that category. This move is going to push both our other QB’s to work harder.
A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without a vision is drudgery. But a vision with a plan can change the world.

Positivily Sayre.. Boy what a bolt of light...
Such a positive sign though. He WILL push KO.
Hope this does not disrupt your new mock :-) I have completely changed my1-3 pick thought process. I now really do not see a QB pick that I had at maybe #45 but really looking at #80
Marshall stays, so I think trade down with Giants at #15 and take Pouncey plus get #49.
No he wont push Orton thats like saying a new DB is gonna push Champ and Bdawk when we know that no one on the team works harder than those guys
Orton doesnt lack work ethic its amazing that after the last year that people thinks that the guy needs someone to push him as if all of the total disrespect hes received already is not enough lol
If anything Orton will push Quinn and teach him as all Quinn has had experience with is Derick Anderson,Charlie batch etc .
One other thing thats been left out is that Mccoy is no longer the QB coach Joshs brother Ben is and hes a nfl rookie. Hes not coming in to teach an offense he will just be learning himself . Josh seems to be approaching this as if this is the second year implementing his system and hewill be looking to build upon that . So I think Brady will be brought along slowly and while everyone assumes he will push Orton .I would not be surprised if Joshs tests Quinn by having him compete with Simms and TB hes gonna want to find out right away if can handle playing for him. No more pampered 1st rd pick treatment for Mr Quinn.

Plus 1 to KO pushing Quin to better work ethic and improvement.
Interesting thought about Simms/Quinn competition…but can you imagine the uproar after this trade if Simms won out?
Im sry but Im offended u would compare Champ and BDawk to Orton inn such a way
Yes, there is a chance for Quinn to win the spot. He has much more talent, and with McD as his coach I think he can unleash his potential
by DBroncs1414 on Mar 14, 2010 11:49 PM MDT up reply actions
in what way... work ethic ? Orton was one of if not the hardest working player on the team this past season.
To suggest that he needs someone to push him as if hes not already motivated after every thing weve seen is the ultimate sign of disrespect from his own fan base .
We are not talking about bringing in a proven veteran QB but someone from the Browns who Orton clearly had a better year than the past two seasons and yet he is expected to raise Ortons game not the other way around .
Quinn is talented but to be saying he has more now is a stretch because we have game film of his recent games including our game in which both Qbs were featured.
Quinn is much more mobile QB and a great physical specimen but pretty much every other QB grade is very open for debate .
I think we mis-comunicated- KO is pushing Quinn's work ethic in my comment.
Totally agree about KO’s intense preparation. It’s one of the things that endears him to me!

Entering his fourth season in the league, Quinn was drafted in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft after breaking 36 school records at Notre Dame, including career pass atempts, completions, yards, yards per game, touchdown passes and lowest interception percentage. In the process, he won 29 games as a starter — tied for most in school history.
In the NFL, Quinn has compiled 1,902 yards passing yards, 11 total touchdowns and nine interceptions in 14 games played. He has started 12 games in his career, including nine last season.
Hot enough to be a serviceable backup QB, at least. Love the upside.

one more thing
to keep in mind – Cleveland had a murderous schedule last season. While I was tracking all the teams over at beatpaths.com, I just couldn’t escape the feeling that Cleveland just couldn’t catch a break when Quinn was quarterback.
that may also be the most murderous division in football
between the Steelers and the Ravens and even Cincinnati perennially threatening… odd, but true.

that's tough
browns fan playing for the browns, family there,… the dream is dead. or beginning…was quinn the reason/flipside of anderson’s relationship with the fans? the difference in goodbye’s is noticable, no? anyway kid, welcome aboard. i’m going with brandstarter, myself
taste my blitzkrieg!
sign doom now
Quinn was why the fans cheered when Anderson went down
Clearly Anderson will never get over that. But dude, they weren’t cheering because you were injured, they were cheering because they were excited to have a very exciting backup.
If Anderson was really all that, he would have started the season. He didn’t. Nuff said.
Quinn looked good when he was reinstated. He has years of experience in the same system KO learned last year. He’ll be excellent competition in camp, even if KO is still the deserving starter. As long as we don’t have a Cleveland style carousel and are getting those Ws, I’m happy.

This is a good omen

What a class act, at least on the surface.
I’m impressed with the words in this post that are attributed to Quinn. I haven’t seen him play, except against Denver in 2008, but the character seems right. I hope he works out well. I’d love to see him become the next Brees. As has been said, what can be worse than Simms?

I agree 100%
You have to feel good going into the season with 3 class act QB’s in the roster. Both Kyle and Brady will work really hard and my personal opinion is that by week 5 or 6 Quinn will be the starter. Cleveland was the wrong place for him. He has a lot more physical tools than Kyle and with Mcgenius teaching him I think he will be the Denver version of Tom Brady. We need to keep Marshall and draft Demaryius Thomas from Georgia Tech. The kid is a monster at WR and mark my words if we solidify the OL we will be in awesome shape.

I don't think Quinn will start
unless Orton gets hurt. And even then, I think Brandstater is #2, unless McD’s playbook really is that similar to Weis’ and Mangini’s. I expect him to be 3rd string.

When Mangini is a SB winning HC, he’ll be in position to complain! ; )
Actually, I was really amazed he stuck around to work with Holmgren. It’s going to be a very fascinating year in Cleveland if we see a mind-melding between the WC offense and the NE offensive philosophy. Not sure how it will work, but those are two pretty good guys to try it.

I like it.
He says all the right things, but he handled the situation in Cleveland with class and God knows Mangini gave him every reason not to.
Like we discussed on MHR tonight, I think that if McDaniels thinks he can do something with Quinn then that means the kid has something to offer us. People laughed when he said he could win with Orton and all Orton did was have the best year of his career.
I’m excited to see how he progresses here.

At least
He didn’t act like Cutler… Great character, can’t wait for him to get here and start competing.
Quinn is a good kid
but has been a big bust in the NFL. The competition between Simms, Quinn, and Tom B. will be a good one for the the 2nd QB spot on the roster. When and if KO reports, he is the established starter. I wouldn’t be suprised if Orton, Dummervil, and Marshall hold out for better compensation.
certainly will hold out from this first wave of OTAs
will see once they start becoming mandatory, but will probably still hold out
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."
"We laugh to stave off madness."
I would call the Browns a "big bust" in the NFL...Quinn got screwed.

Orton will show
Talked to Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton earlier this evening. He’s out in Hawaii attending the NFL union meetings. Orton’s reaction to the Brady Quinn trade: "We’ve made a lot great moves this offseason and this is another one,’’ Orton said. "He’s a great player and I’ll be happy to work with him.’’
Orton’s presence over there will make him absent here at 8 a.m. Monday for the first team meeting of the 2010 season. Orton said he will arrive at Dove Valley and begin his offseason conditioning program with the team Friday.
Getting Better
Love the trade that brings value and the potential for Quinn to learn the system. He will bring toughness, smarts, and leadership he didn’t get to display in Cleveland. I think if Quinn can show he has the ability to run the system in training camp McD will work closely with him to be ready by 2011. The competition will make Orton that much better this season. I still think we draft a QB in the 5th through 7th round. High priority now on the OLine and WR spot. I am still in favor of keeping Marshall and let him play to his fullest potential so that next year he will bring us even more value if he still wants to leave. I think Marshall will have another 100+ season. Broncos are better with him than without him and no sense giving him away a proven talent. I also believe someone currently on the team will be at center [Ben Hamilton] and just maybe Dustin Fry might be ready for his chance to start in the NFL. Said another way I’m excited to watch things unfold starting on Monday with the off season conditioning. Go Broncos!
oc60
should be well on his way with the system
and may actually pose a bigger challenge to Orton than many (including myself) think he will, right out of the gates. Playing for Weis at ND and Mangini at Cleveland gives him years of experience in the system that KO learned just last year.
Should be interesting to say the least. But I still give KO the lead. He’s a proven winner and he really earned it. Either way, this was a fantastic pickup for us value wise, and I’m glad we managed to nab him before KC did.

I’ll just continue to work as hard as I can and do the best I can to get in there and be a catalyst or some sort of positive entity to the Broncos team.
His ND roots are showing through. A QB using words like catalyst and entity! Who does he think he is, Steve Young?? lol
Looking forward to seeing him in camp. Not sure about his arm or accuracy, but Cleveland was a whole different situation and we’ll see how he fits here. Experienced in the system, good attitude… welcome to our newest Bronco!

Yeah, he never got a fair shake over there.
I mean they kept switching between him and Anderson. Sometimes a change of scenery is needed.
That was a good inteview and I can’t wait to see him in camp either.

Imagine how Elway’s shaky beginnings would have been magnified if Reeves had constantly played mind games with him and traded starts with Kubiak. This kid’s no #7, but I think even an all time great would succumb to that brand of nonsense.

Yeah,
I don’t know much about his arm or accuracy either, but remember all the things that were being said and probably still are said every once in a while about Kyle Orton and his deep ball and arm and everything else. KO will definitely be pushed by this guy, not to mention that Brandstater should be coming along nicely, as well.

Very cool
I have always likes this guy and think he can very a very good player in this league. He’s very sharp, has a great personality that everyone will like, and if McD went after him, that means we’ve really got a good player on our hands now. Maybe McD helped scout this guy in NE when he was entering the draft. Not that NE would have picked him, but you know, you’ve got to scout all the best talent in the draft either way.
This is a trade/acquisition that I have to say (and this is not a ‘I told you so’ at all), but this is something I have to say I have been interested in for over a year now. I’ve actually kind of wanted this since before we decided last year that Orton was our guy, though given how well KO has played, he still has at least another season to prove himself, which I think he might. Anyway, great pick up, I think, and at the very least, we’ve got great depth now at the QB position.

McD likes them smart right?
A Notre Dame guy fits that bill at minimum. I’m excited, too. But you’re right, its Orton’s position to lose.

Quinn Trade
Well! Looks like he’s a good kid, said nice things about Cleveland and their fans. Now that we have 4 count them 4 QBs, We won’t be drafting another this year. Maybe an ILB, a Olineman or two, a fullback(pardon me) a bigger RB like that Stanford kid, hopefully another WR or two, and maybe Bergers replacement. I’m sure we’ll be surprised again in a day or two. Whats next Ridley?
Now that we have 4 count them 4 QBs, We won’t be drafting another this year.
That’s what we thought about our RB situation last year before we took Knowshon. Would be hilarious if we somehow ended up with Clausen.

I'm hearing McDaniels won't discuss this trade,
and that bothers me. Although I see some positives in this action, I wonder why our coach, who publicly stated his desire for a power running game, would essentially replace Hillis with JJ Arrington. Still, here’s the silver lining I see: Orton starts the season while Quinn watches and learns; then he and Bradenstater battle it out in 2011 when Orton, by then an unrestricted free agent, probably leaves for greener pastures. Maybe a new start in a new place will be just what Quinn needs to turn his career around. I sure hope so. But there are still enough questions involved in this thing that I really hope McDaniels will step up to the mic and share some information on his thinking.
We had a "big, bruising running back," Richard ...
and his name was Peyton Hillis.
who did himself in
I loved 22. Loved him. He just didn’t give McD much reason to have confidence, which is a shame.

I was really looking forward to seeing him at that “true H-back” position that many speculated was in store for him that just never materialised. Oh well, maybe Holmgini will make that happen for him. Wish him the best!!

Like it
I wonder if/when he becomes the starter that the Chiefs/Charlie Weiss will have our number twice a year. Carlie is sure to know his weaknesses. Oh well, as long as this ends those damned drafting Tebow ideas I’m all for it
Does anyone know
Was a fracture involved or was it more minor in regards to his Lis Franc injury. I looked but no one ever said fracture. The only reason I ask is that is a nasty fracture where the foot is dislocated, so here to hoping it is more minor ligament damage only.
. . .
I guess this means no more Tim Tebow… Dang

I have my doubts
I’m not sure about this. I saw him play in college a lot (Notre Dame/NBC contract) and he seemed to be limited. Decent toughness and arm strength. Limited size and accuracy. I suppose if we keep dinkin and dunkin he could fit in because he will be more mobile, but he won’t be able to see over the linemen folks, here’s betting he gives up a few inches on KO and the average NFL starting QB. Not a big deal if you’ve got the smarts and accuracy of a drew breeze, but i pretty sure that’s not what we have here.
So why did we trade for him? If I give Mc’d the benefit of the doubt i’d say 1: good wildcat QB. He has an arm for sure, and he can move, and he’s tough. 2: grasping at straws here but if it doesn’t work out but we develop him a little we might be able to trade him out to someone for more than we got him for.
My gut says he’s not the answer.
Mike likes this trade
And wants to send Hillis to Cleveland with the same good wishes that we sent with Foxworth when he was traded.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it but:
Even though McCoy isn’t the formal QB’s coach, it doesn’t mean he’s never going to coach Denver’s QBs all season. That’s like saying just because Josh McDaniels is HC he’s never going to coach the QB’s or WR’s or DB’s or Safeties. He did all of that while he was in OTA’s and TC last year. He speaks up when need be, so will coach McCoy with QB’s. He already knows Quinn and i’m sure he will have just as much coaching influence on Quinn as he learns the system as Ben or Josh McDaniels. All the coaches are trying to help all the players. Yes of course they have specialities but do you think for one minute that a guy like coach Nunnely won’t go and make a comment to an OL if he sees an oppotunity to help the guy – despite being primarily a DL coach? No, of course not. That’s ridiculous to suggest. They all want to win, they’re all going to do their best to get these guys to peak performance physically, and mentally.
So in a recap, McCoy will probably be working with Quinn and the rest of the QBs just as much as Ben McDaniels or Josh McDaniels. They’re all trying to win. In a press conferance talking about Martindale’s succession to DC, Josh McDaniels noted that Wink was often speaking in front of the “whole team” not just the whole defense, the WHOLE TEAM. All of the coaches address the whole team from time to time. Everyone is working together. The fact that Ben McDaniels is the formally-listed QBs coach will take nothing away from our QB coaching this year. In fact it will only add another perspective, more insight, and more opportunity for the players to improve their game.
It’s just ridiculous to try and say we’re temporarily worse off because Ben McDaniels is a rookie NFL coach this year. How does that hurt us? We didn’t lose anybody that was working with the QB’s from last year, we only added. Saying that the players don’t have the potential to grow as much this offseason as they did last offseason is just silly. And who’s to say Ben McDaniels being named as QB coach wasn’t purely because he was the most beneficial and logical choice of the personnel on-hand??

Ive never said we were worse off because Ben was the QB coach or that Mccoy orJosh would never work with the Qbs .
You took the liberty of adding a ton of stuff that I didnt even say and never even implied .
Huh? What are you talking about?
I wasn’t responding to your comment – hence why mine is posted alone by itself down here. I was reading the discussion in general and I thought of a few things on my own that hadn’t yet been mentioned – hence why I said “not sure if anyone’s mentioned it but:” before giving my two cents on the situation. I was not referencing you or in anyway implying you said such things or even implied such things. Life is too full of stress to start assuming someone is attacking you. Calm down Hoop. :)

good interview
Quinn came cheap
Longshot, but he could become the franchise QB
At worst – an experienced young back up
At best – Franchise QB at a cheap price
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
