Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Skinny: Former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis is the offensive coordinator in Kansas City, and Quinn knows that system like the back of his hand. So Quinn wouldn't be bad insurance for Matt Cassel. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel also was Quinn's head coach in Cleveland.

I would love a QB depth chart

of Cassel, Quinn, & Croyle. Granted, if we made a move for Quinn it would most likely seal Croyle’s fate here in KC. Who may just end being a better QB than Cassel OR Quinn.

Croyle

I have always been a big Croyle supporter but we are dreaming to think he is anything but a backup with a strong arm

by groundedchevy on Mar 11, 2010 11:57 AM CST up reply actions  

I think Croyle would be part of the trade

Maybe a three team trade with Arizona, send Croyle and a late rounder to the Cards, and let them send a rd 3 to Cleveland.

If we were to trade for Quinn...

I hope we are able to restructure his contract to that of a backup

by groundedchevy on Mar 11, 2010 11:59 AM CST up reply actions  

If i remember correctly

Quinns contract isnt all that big. Its mostly incentive based pay. so if he sits on the bench he wouldnt cost much at all. With that said, NO THANKS!!!

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

by paratrooper on Mar 11, 2010 12:44 PM CST up reply actions  

You could be right

But he did hold out for awhile, as I remember.

He was working out with Bowe, and we blamed him on Bowe not getting in here…

by kcsno56 on Mar 11, 2010 1:08 PM CST up reply actions  

Is it even possible to trade Croyle straight up for Quinn?

Not that I want to, just asking. Brady’s contract would be a big issue too, he would definatly need to take a pay cut.

Set up a package!

Not sure what it would take but, lets get Shaun Rogers and Quinn, give them Croyle and make a swap or something…I duno. I still believe in Quinn. Against the Chargers in week 12, he passed for 275, 3 td, 0 ints. He has potential.

by Larryemcdaniel on Mar 11, 2010 12:04 PM CST reply actions  

How good is Quinn on the pro level?

The connections are there, big whoop. But is he a great NFL starter worth trading for?

by worc on Mar 11, 2010 12:06 PM CST reply actions  

He'd be a backup

I wouldn’t trade a high pick on him, but he definitely has some value.

Quinn ...not only no, but HELL NO!!!

So you think you are so important that no one can replace you? Put your finger in a bucket of water and pull it out. Does it leave a hole? Nope, just some ripples that eventually calm themselves!

I don't see Quinn coming here

Plus he sucks.. other than experience and a bigger contract, he’s not better than Brodie.

Why would we trade a draft pick that we could use on a position of need

for a crappy player at a position we’re fine at?

The key thing is this:

How would Shaun Smith feel about Quinn coming here? lol.

I agree ....

with those that say he would need to restructure his contract, and I’m not sure I would give away a very high draft pick. I would like to see him in KC if he comes cheap because I have to believe that his physical skills and familiarity with Weis would make for a good combination. I don’t really see it happening, though.

Quinn freakin sucks!

He’s an EAS Myoplex machine. He looks more like a pale guido than a QB. He has 35 more times muscle than talent.

I’d rather have Elvis Grbac.

I remeber when.....

Carl Peterson said that Quinn was the best QB he had ever seen coming out of college. Isn’t that just classic Carl….I thank Jesus every day he is shit canned.

If a certain GM on the Browns…who is an excellent evaluator of QB talent….lets him go…we shouldn’t touch him with a 10 ft. pole.

From what I understand Quinn threw a lot of short passes in college to get his numbers up, but looses accuracy the deeper he throws. That can’t be taught.

I would really like to see Quinn get another starting shot on another team (or the Browns)…but I think it is a bad idea to do it here.

Croyle is an excellent 2nd QB…and if it aint broke (hehe brokie Croyle..snicker) don’t fix it.

Another QB experiment I am interested in is Brian Brohm over in Buffalo. I was a huge Brohm supporter a few years back and would love to see him have a break out year.

by MasterBlaster7 on Mar 11, 2010 12:50 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah..

Carl probably wouldn’t of grabed him if the Browns didn’t trade up. Thank god they did because the next pick was D Bowe.

2. McClain will fall to us at 2a
3. The Chiefs will trade DJ and Dorsey

That pissed me off while watching the draft that year,

how the browns jumped ahead of us.

Not mad about it now though :)

I say we sign Quinn

and every time we’re about to send Shaun Smith out onto the field, Quinn can run up to him and give him a little pep talk. Then Smith will run out onto the field super pissed and jack some fools up.

I just posted the article because it mentioned the Chiefs

It’s all straight from the article, not my opinion if it makes you feel better.

As for your post, if Quinn was released that would be an awesome signing!

by LTownChiefsFan on Mar 11, 2010 2:57 PM CST up reply actions  

The trade value on AP of Brodie Croyle

Is lightyears ahead of his real life trade value.

I’ve read any/everything from a 2nd round pick to a 3rd round pick.

Seneca Wallace only got Seattle a 6th, right?

Wallace > Croyle. Sorry folks, it’s true.

by kcsno56 on Mar 11, 2010 1:10 PM CST reply actions  

Oh...

And on Quinn.

If we can get him really cheap, I’m on board, but I’ve never been a believer.

I do think he’d be a better backup than Brodie, if he could avoid getting his face pounded by our new backup NT.

by kcsno56 on Mar 11, 2010 1:11 PM CST reply actions  

Boooo

Less QB talks and more QB protection. Seriously, don’t we have 4 QBs right now. Let Denver take him. Pass on the QB and let’s get some of our actual needs taken care of.

by Spiderwomn69 on Mar 11, 2010 1:17 PM CST reply actions  

If we only try to get better at one position we'll be bad for a loooong time

You get better where you can, when you can. Can’t argue that he wouldn’t be better than 2 or 3 of our quarterbacks. I wouldn’t pay a high price for him though, since we could use a higher pick in a better way.

by LTownChiefsFan on Mar 11, 2010 2:59 PM CST up reply actions  

You people need to quit watching ESPN

Quinn was garbage in college, and he was garbage in the NFL. No way he would have been drafted that high if he didn’t play for Norte Dame. Seriously what has he ever done, to even make some of you want Pioli to bring him here.

NO WAY!!

BRODIE HAS A WAY BETTER ARM, AND IS MORE ACCURATE THAN QUINN!! HE ONLY AVG. 56% COMPLETION WITH THE SHORT PASS PRO SYSTEM IN NOTRE DAME, AND EVEN WORSE IN CLEVELAND. CLAUSEN IS LIKE THE UPPER 60’S IN COMPLETION PERCENTAGE. THERE IS A HUGE REASON HE DOESN’T START FOR THE BROWN BAGS!!!! DON’T NEED HIM, DON’T WANT HIS CONTRACT, AND HE ISN’T GOING TO BE CONTENT WITH BEING A BACKUP..

Quinn Sucks

Croyle is a much better option….and is perfect right where he is at.

I am only saying this because I feel that both are probably the same. They both suck but are best at being back-up’s, where if the starter fails, the fans will always lean to the back-up and say " oh, well we would have won that if we started Brokie-Brady" IMHO

by readANDgold58 on Mar 11, 2010 1:54 PM CST up reply actions

Croyle is twice the QB Quinn is…much better arm, more accurate…Croyle is fragile, thats the only knock I have against him really….and a lot of that can be attributed to the terrible Line he had blocking for him when he “Got his chances”….

by KCinAZ on Mar 12, 2010 9:05 AM CST up reply actions  

To answer the question that the post asks on what is his value.

Well to me, I would say that Brady is probably worth about the value of a… lets see here… Sammie Parker! Yeah I like that, maybe they will take a sack of wrenches straight up for him?

by readANDgold58 on Mar 11, 2010 1:56 PM CST reply actions  

My take on Quinn in CLE...

A good QB whose WRs seemed relatively small in a league of big-n-tall’s. Flowers had no problems whatsoever in forcing them to the sideline, rePEATedly on the jam, so the 5-yard cushion QBs are supposed to get on the up-route was never there. Quinn was criticized for the missed passes, but it looked to me, in the one game I watched, that the CLE WR group was one of few that the KC secondary had no problems manhandling.

In other words, my (ill-informed) take is that Quinn is likely to be underrated, and may be a real steal.

by hmills110 on Mar 11, 2010 2:17 PM CST reply actions  

I'm with you, Mills

He’s got some room to develop. He hasn’t reached his ceiling. Gotta remember that he made his debut in Cleveland. Who, besides Cribbs, has flourished there? And not a single person that leaves ever has anything good to say about the organization.

Add to all that the QB rotation he was in, who he was learning behind, piss-poor receivers…

It’s a horrible environment for any QB to be successful.

sorry bout the yellin but to me Brady Quinn is to QBs what Twilight is to movies. If he were cut maybe as a third, but Croyle, sadly, has shown more promise than quinn.

* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
