View Full Version : Quinn wants to start

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos aren't publicly saying they have another open quarterback competition on their hands.

They don't have to.

Josh McDaniels' actions and the words of Brady Quinn and Kyle Orton show they most certainly do.


AFC West blog
ESPN.com's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.

• Blog network: NFL Nation


Quinn, acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in exchange for fullback Peyton Hillis and two draft picks, was diplomatic in his introductory teleconference Monday, declining to come right out and say he intends to supplant Orton as the starter.

A day after Orton said he was confident he was still the starter, Quinn made it clear he intends to be under center and not sending in signals when the 2010 season starts in six months.

"I'll put it this way, I think every quarterback on our roster wants to play," Quinn said. "Believe me, whether it's Tom [Brandstater], Kyle, or myself, we're all quarterbacks. We're going to be team players first, but we all want to be out there playing."

McDaniels hasn't spoken publicly since the trade. Asked if McDaniels had promised him a chance to fight for the starting job, Quinn demurred.

"Really, those conversations are private at this point," he said. "But I think all of us quarterbacks are going to be working our best to compete with one another and make each other better."

That group won't include Chris Simms, last year's backup who was jettisoned Monday.

When Orton was acquired in the Jay Cutler trade last April, McDaniels threw open the competition for the starting job and Orton emerged the winner by late June.



Quinn

He guided Denver to a 6-2 start but a 2-6 finish left them out of the playoffs for the fourth straight season.

Afterward, McDaniels endorsed Orton's status as his starter, saying, "I'm pleased with a lot of what Kyle did and I saw improvement in what he did. I was happy to have the opportunity to work with him this year and we'll look forward to the future."

Then, McDaniels' actions spoke just as loudly Sunday when he traded for Quinn.

Quinn passed his physical on Monday -- he finished last season on injured reserve with a severely sprained left foot -- and began participating in the team's offseason training program.

Orton, meanwhile, was in Hawaii, where he's attending the NFL players association meetings as the Broncos' union representative. His commitment there won't allow him to show up in Denver until Friday.

Quinn said he was thankful for a fresh start in Denver.

In three up-and-down seasons in Cleveland, he played in 14 games and started a dozen times after the Browns selected him No. 22 overall in the 2007 draft following a stellar career at Notre Dame.

Quinn started nine games for the Browns last season, sharing time once again with Derek Anderson. He suffered his foot injury on Dec. 20 against Kansas City and finished the year on IR for the second straight season (he had a broken finger on his right hand in 2008).

Quinn is due $700,000 this season and next, although his salary will go up considerably if he wins the starting job.

Orton was tendered for one year at $2.621 million. As a restricted free agent, any team signing him to an offer sheet would have to be willing to forfeit a first-round draft pick to Denver, an almost prohibitive cost for a quarterback with middling statistics like Orton's.

Simms, who played in two games last season, was set to make $2.54 million next season.

Quinn said he hadn't had a chance to go over the playbook yet, but he anticipated there would be a lot of crossover from the offense he ran in college for Charlie Weis and the one McDaniels runs in Denver. Both are proteges of Bill Belichick.

Quinn lost to Denver in each of the last two seasons. He said he saw vast improvement in Denver's defense last season but the thing that impressed him the most was the Broncos' offensive line.

Ryan Harris protected his Quinn's blindside in college. Now, he's the Broncos' right tackle with All-Pro Ryan Clady playing the left side.

"I think you've just got to be excited to have that type of talent in front of you," said Quinn, hopeful he'll get to admire this line from up-close next season.

That's why its not really a good idea to have screen name of players that have yet to achieve legendary status. Having someone like Elway in your screen name is a can't miss. Having the name of someone who just got run out of his previous town, might be like getting a tattoo of your current girlfriend's name only to have the relationship go sour. After all, how many of those who had Plummer or Cutler in the screen name still post here?

i know ....i guess i was just caught up in all the drama after cutler left.
i had the screen name "cutler's crew" at bc before i found this far superior site.
and i thought about adding an "ed" to the end of it....but i look to the future rather than dwell in the past.
i think i can keep it T.K.O. and drop the team kyle orton if he gets benched

Does anyone really want him to come in here and say that he doesn't want to start? McD made the right choice at starting QB last season. The 'Simms needs to be the starter' bandwagon disappeared real fast once he got on the field outside of preseason opponents. The funny thing is, he looked like a world-beater against them. If Quinn looks great in the preseason, it's going to get ugly around here. Right now the job is Orton's to lose.

I would hope he would want to start and i think he will end up starting at some point in next season for the broncos he is a very talented QB he was just put in a horrible spot in Clevland. Plus this is the offense he ran in college and that is what made him a first round pick i think he will push orton for that job and if he gets a hold if it he isnt going to give it up.

Quinn has shown anything that gives me confidence that he will be anything terrific, but a change of residence and the fact he's ran this exact offense on a smaller scale but that might make a difference. However, we'll have to see if he is capable of beating out Orton. If he's not worth a plug nickle I think we'll be looking for a franchise quarterback at this time next year.

Did they ever!

McDaniels did make the right choice for starter at QB. That probably explains why he made to choice so early between Orton & Simms.

Just goes to show that maybe JMFMcD does know a little something about QB's.

I'll continue to defer to his judgement on matters such as these.

My wish is that others join me instead of....

I have only one negative concern with this trade for Quinn. There was mention in several articles that one of his biggest drawbacks was he panics under pressure.

That is/was our former QB's problem too. Hopefully we do not have a repeat of the same INT issue.

no differant than orton...how many times we see him just throw it away because pressure was comeing when scrambling just a little would allow a wr time to get open...or dumping it to the short guy with somebody open deeper..just cause theres a little pressure

quinn will get used to better blocking just like orton did

Let me be more clear. Maybe I should have said panics in pressure situations when great QB's make plays when the team needs it most.

i do worry that hitching his star to orton's wagon (let alone quinn) could be a mistake that leads to his undoing here in denver, and i was really hoping he'd draft a talented QB prospect to whisper to. . . it's one of the reasons that acquiring quinn bothers me so much. . .

Well I agree with you on this completely. I feel that even though he is a solid coach, it will be his personnel decisions and headstrong desire to prove himself better then the talent on the roster that will, as you said be his undoing in Denver. Especially under Bowlen...the man is a bonified offensive minded owner and he saw a good offense dismantled and replaced with a mediocre unit, this is why I believe McDaniels would be stupid to actually trade Marshall, he gives the team a sort of security blanket, because he has that type of talent. If the offense is worse and does not improve and he continues to go with mid-grade talent because they are team orientated, then we could see his demise much quicker then some think.

In his defense, his more recent comments have been much better.

Did he learn a lesson, or is he just playing to the microphone? I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Still, I totally understand someone who doesn't want to give that benefit. He earned whatever impression he gets fairly enough.

As fans we have that right. I can pretend Rivers is a douche, merely based on his wearing the powder blue - plus he is ghey on top of it. Every Raider is a felon, as are their fans. Thats a known fact. Jay Cutler whined his way out of town. All Chiefs fans have mullets and F-150's on cinder blocks and date their kin. All of these things are known truths to football fans, most often because its comforting to think so. And note too that some of these might even have a grain of truth to them, however miniscule. :D

That is an outstanding point Rav. The system is so brilliantly complicated that we need to refocus our draft efforts. Our future QB needs to come from MIT or Johns Hopkins, probably with a degree in Particle Physics or abstract mathematics. Once that happens you will see the brutal efficiency of the bubble screen/button hook offense unleashed! Throw in an occassional delayed draw out of a shotgun...Man, I can see it all now!

We don't have the right kind of players on the roster, thats all. Forget the SEC and Big 12

Come on Lingus, if Clay is willing to open up his 'Mangina' for Quinn to feel welcomed and make him a better quarterback, that's really giving it his all for the sake of the team!

We should applaud his effort... :congrats:

Alright, fine...

Here you go, Clay...

Let me be more clear. Maybe I should have said panics in pressure situations when great QB's make plays when the team needs it most.


and again no differant then play it safe orton...in every game you could see multiple times the pressure was close and he chose the simple checkdown, throw the ball away..or drop to a fetal position...when a second more would mean a wr getting open deeper

SOCALORADO.

Brady Quinn says his foot is fine
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 18, 2010 9:43 PM ET

The Cleveland Browns placed quarterback Brady Quinn on injured reserve in December with a foot injury. But in his first public comments since being traded to the Denver Broncos, Quinn said the foot is no longer an issue.

"The foot is good, I appreciate you asking," Quinn said at his press conference in Denver today.

Quinn suffered what has been described as a severe Lisfranc sprain in his left foot during the Browns' December 20 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but after two months in a walking boot he's healthy, passed his physical and is working out with his new team.

Those workouts, he says, have been strenuous.

"The guys on the team are unbelievable," Quinn said. "Working out with them, you see their competitive nature, the way they work, their dedication. The only tough adjustment now has been the altitude, going up and down the stairs has been a little rough here. That, amongst other things [strength coach Rich] Tuten has us doing."

Quinn says he's also been watching film and studying the Broncos' playbook. One thing he hasn't done yet is touch base with fellow Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton. That meeting is expected to take place on Friday.

____________________________

he's probably afraid orton will drop him with a swift right hook. . . . 'cuz kyle orton is badass like that. . .


edit: some of the comments left on that post are pretty amusing. . .



Maybe he can learn to throw with his foot.
