Backup QB - Brady Quinn?

Brady Quinn can't run a vertical passing attack with an option running attack. So the idea that he would be a good option here is ridiculous. Clausen can do what Quinn can do which frankly isn't much. Quinn is going to be out in Denver. I heard that Denver is looking for 2 quarterbacks to back up The Golden Calf of Bristol. So tell me again why we would want to bring in a quarterback who is not even good enough to be The Golden Calf of Bristol's backup.

Based on this article, Quinn made some less-than-flattering remarks about The Golden Calf of Bristol in a recent interview. The Broncos will look to upgrade at QB, even with The Golden Calf of Bristol's success last year, and Brady Quinn could very well be looking for a new team. Derek Anderson is a free agent and there's no guarantee he'll be back. Jimmy Clausen is still under contract but all bets are off on him.

Quinn had two years under Rob Chudzinksi in Cleveland. I consider him a lot like Clausen though...a highly touted Notre Dame prospect who couldn't handle the NFL. But he hasn't gotten much playing time, not even as much as Clausen. He could come cheaper than Anderson and could bring good competition to training camp.

I'm not advocating he be the backup...but he might be someone the Panthers look at.

He is better than Anderson, having watched them both in Cleveland extensively.

Does not fit Chud's system any better than a guy like Clausen, though they are different players. Quinn has a bigger arm, might not be as accurate. I think Quinn will stick in this league as a back up for a few years; but question his ability to ever be accurate enough to hold down a starting job.

He is a different player than he was at Notre Dame--and this is a different league then killing the sisters of the poor every Saturday. For whatever the reason, Quinn was a much different player in Cleveland when I watched him for parts of 2 seasons (he has never gotten much of a true shot) than when I watched him at Notre Dame for 3 years.

He had to have back surgery, I'm not sure about failed physicals though.

He said he is now 100%, and plans on playing in '12.

I still think Dixon is the best option though.

changed my post.. and I don't always trust what a player says.. I expect him to say he's 100% and ready to play again.

I think Dixon is a very solid option, but I know he wants to start somewhere or be in a situation where that may become possible...

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
