Trade for Brady Quinn?

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 8:10 PM CDT Comment 40 comments

i'm just curious about what my other fellow titans fans think. even though i know it's not gonna happen in a million years, do you think that trading for brady quinn would be a good idea? i mean i know we cant get much worse than we are, but besides that does anyone think that he would thrive here in tennessee. and if u are interested in this at all discuss who or what we would or would not trade to try getting him.

Instead of Quinn

why not trade our entire team to the Colts for Peyton Manning?

If we trade it should be for an upgrade or draft picks

Bring Back Vince Young!

Quinn wouldnt be any better than Kerry or Vince

by magictitansfan on Oct 18, 2009 8:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

i just think that a qb is only as good as the talent around him and the system he is put into it. you must utilize a qb’s talents. vy is a runner and a horrible passer. we don’t need a runner, we got plenty of that side of the ball with chris johnson. when vy thrived in 06, it was becuase our running game was fairly bad. he made up for it with his legs. as for kc i think his career is done. we kept him around to manage the games and so far he has only managed to give the other teams more opportunities. i mean we supposedly have upgraded at the wr postion this year and his numbers have gotten worse? the play calling this year is kinda strange to me as well though. but besides all that, i just feel like brady quinn would do better here in tennessee cuz of the style team we have. and honestly vy could probably do better there. they need a game changer like young. i think both teams could do better if they just traded qbs.

I would rather have Kolb

Naw, the Eagles are keeping Kolb.

The Titans can either try to get Quinn or they can wait and draft a QB next April.

That is, if Bud Adams can ever get over his love affair concerning Vince Young…

Good QB's are hard to find

Why the man love for Quinn? There are a couple of proven players that are available. Garcia is free and with QB’s standing 3 deep in Philly, dare I say Vick could be had cheap. With a contract number for next year on VY that will either have him starting or leaving, drafting a replacement would put the team years behind. Everyone thought Sanchez was the real deal until a 4 Int afternoon this week. Flaco and Ryan are freaks of nature on teams were complete without them. Drafting some one and thinking they could come in and start is drinking some serious koolaide. Old guys are ruling the league right now. Farve, Pennington (until IR),Hasselback, Warner are all keeping hot young talent on the bench. The other top QB are middle age.

The Buddist ask the hot dog vendor to make him one with everything.

garcia is a good option but vick not so much. favre is the missing piece the vikings needed. pennington was ok at best before getting hurt. he was losing, losing, and losing. since chad henne(the young guy) came in, they have won and won. hasselbeck has trouble staying healthy and consistent. warner is mediocre this year. now peyton and brady are older, but they were good when they were young as well.

oh i would rather have kolb too. but he isn’t going anywhere. that is almost certain. quinn on the other hand is reasonably possible.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 8:44 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

imo, the only reason quinn did bad in cleveland this year so far is because he does not fit the system there. he is very talented, that is no doubt.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 8:45 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Quinn’s problems is that his Browns team lacks talent. This Titans team has talent.

But unfortunately, injuries, poor coaching, offseason losses of key people, and some bad luck have wrecked this team for this season.

We could trade some of those guys who are becoming free agents at season’s end to the Browns to get Quinn. But only if we feel he’s a better fit than the QB we might draft. Personally, at this point I’d rather take my chances with Quinn and be done with VY. I always thought the team should have taken Cutler. Heck, I’d rather have Leinhart. But they took VY and it was an obvious mistake. He should a little promise early, but his career has crashed and burned.

Now I feel it is time to move on and rebuild the team. I really wish they had won it all last season like they should have. It looks like this team may be bad for a couple more years before they can turn things back around…

… Alex Mortensen is still available?

Just kidding… but then again, I don’t see how even he could have done worse today than Collins & VY did…

LOL the poor kid threw that pick in that preseason game, and that was the end of his career.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Mortensen threw 2 passes. One was completed (for like 10 yards) and the other was an INT.

That’s better than what Collins & VY did…

i completely agree with u steeler-hater. i remember when i wanted leinart out of the three qbs. but that wouldnt be much better i think. cutler would have been nice. but the only real option i think we have is goin after brady quinn. the problem is that eric mangini prob has no interest in vy. i’m afraid not to many head coaches are so we are probably stuck with him.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 9:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

We may not be stuck with VY…

… if he doesn’t re-do his contract. He is supposed to get 14 million next season. VY has said he wants to stay in Nashville and Adams has said he expects VY to be with the team in the future.

I hope not. We need to draft Bradford or Clausen or McCoy or even Snead. Or trade for Quinn.

Heck, I might even prefer having Tebow, even though the “experts” say his game doesn’t translate into the NFL well.

The QB situation is a shambles. Time to bring in someone else, whether it’s Quinn or some future rookie next season.

Anyone else remember how we could have drafted Aaron Rodgers? Who much would you guys rather have him right now instead of Collins & VY?

or even chad henne for that matter. heck even kyle orton is looking tempting now a days. but i hope we get mccoy. i think a big arm isnt that big of a deal, its the accuracy we need(something vy has none of). another trade to think about is tarvaris jackson or sage rosenfels.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 18, 2009 10:07 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don’t like T. Jackson or Rosenfels.

Those guys couldn’t succeed with the Vikings. They bring in Favre and that team is undefeated.

They need to either get Quinn or draft a new QB. If they want Collins to be the backup next year, fine. But get Quinn or draft a stud QB next spring and rebuild…

QB situation

Hey there guys and gals… Interesting conversation were having. Beside a new QB we definately need a wide receiver group more experienced and more couragious than what we have now. However, it does start with the “Q”. Brady Quinn would be good with us I strongly agree but remember that he grew up wanting to be a Brown, so the likliness that he would put his 100% into is very slim. But the Tavarous Jackson idea didn’t sound bad.. But what about Rex Grossman? He’s still young and he’s willing to take chance down field and spread out the defense, which in turn would allow our “great” backs to do their jobs from the back field. Whomever they choose needs to spread the field. Rex may throw alot of picks but the point is to keep the defense from stacking the box on us. Kerry is a great game manager, but has a great arm… What a waste!! And VY? “……yea…?” NO. I’m not sure what were doin here but I’m afraid that too many more losses like this and I think I may turn to the Saints! (just kidding, but I am starting to get desperate!) anyhow fellas, think about it.

by Mgrigsby on Oct 18, 2009 10:53 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

The very idea

That someone would suggest that Brady Quinn, Rex Grossman, or Jevan Sneed are good ideas is completely laughable.

I guess the situation is THAT BAD, but really guys- I can’t put into words how much worse it would be with a dude like Grossman under center.

And Sneed? How many picks does he have this year? Like 400?

Everybody just needs to calm down. The talent that we have is not that bad- I think it’s the coaches that are the problem at this point.

by TNTitans on Oct 19, 2009 8:03 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

idk about grossman or really even t jackson. i just said t jackson and rosenfels to bring up interesting talk. the reason i say quinn is because he can throw good accurate short passes. but he also has the elite arm to air one out to nate washington on a streak. the main thing is getting a good qb coach with him. it’s all about the system that you put your qb in. we have a system that fits quinn because it is similar to the one at notre dame. as for the wrs i think we are ok, just lack effort recently. let’s start with tes. bo scaife is an excellent recieving te. jared cook has amazing speed for a te. crump needs the boot, craig stevens is a good blocker at te. then u have the wrs. nate washington has that elite speed and knack for the end zone(but not, imo, our top reciever). britt is looking excellent as a rookie. gage is just off lately. plus he isn’t getting as many passes his way(losing them to britt). lavelle hawkins is really yet to be seen. and mark jones is really just for return game. but we also have dominique edison on the practice squad, who i think will come back next year and contribute. we could probably use like one more good wr but i don’t think our wr corps is that bad. a lot of their lack of production is the guy throwing to them. and losing will stagger your efforts.

by TitansFanForever on Oct 19, 2009 10:02 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Our best bet (long term) is: (IMO)

Draft a stud QB and get rid of VY. If we must, keep Collins around as the backup.

Of course, if we could get Quinn without giving Cleveland our #1 draft pick in 2010 or anyone really good who looks to be on the team next season, then I say do the deal.

Trade them some of those guys that are gonna be free agents this offseason for Quinn…

Let's let VY play with this group

If he can turn the season around, maybe we can renogiate his contract next year and draft someone too.

I figure they need to either keep VY or draft a new QB but not both.

VY’s mental makeup won’t allow the team to draft his potential replacement and have him play well despite that.

If VY is ever to succeed, he has to feel that he doesn’t need to look over his shoulder. If he is the starter and someone like McCoy or Bradford is his backup, he will be too worried about losing his job to the backup.

Nope, I think they need to cut ties with VY and get a new QB, either Quinn or a rookie in the next draft…

Does that Steelers loss in OT...

…seem like a different season, a different team?

WTF happened today? Are we trying to lock down the #1 pick, is the team trying to get Cecil or Dinger fired, do the players suddenly hate Fish? Or all three? Is this the sequel to EIGHT MEN OUT?

I can’t believe I’m nostalgic for the Jets loss, when it looked like the problems had solutions. I can’t even wrap my brain around what happened today.

I don't think we should do anything at QB this year......

because I am still on the get Jimmy Clausen banwagon for next year or as I have said, take a serious look at Lefevour out of Central Michigan. I know having a bunch of injuries on D doesn’t help us win, but it isn’t the reason we are putting up a goose egg.

by ArmyTitansFan on Oct 19, 2009 12:42 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

The reason the team is 0-6 isn’t just one reason.

There are many. Injuries, poor coaching, bad personnel decisions, poor play, and (lately) I think some of the players have given up.

We have guys in their “contract year” and none of them are playing like you think they would. Part of that may be the fact that they know they are probably not coming back to this team next year. Kind of foolish, though. If these guys have poor years, they will get less money in their next contract offer.

This is a huge mess. Had anyone told me back when the team was 10-0 that they’d start 2009 going 0-6, I would have laughed at them.

Now, only the haters of this organization are laughing now…

the problem is that last year we did well basically because of the break out of chris johnson and an easy schedule. also the fact that we didn’t hardly turn the ball over. when we got to the playoffs and played a real team with a real purpose, our real team showed. then based on that, this year our expectations were too high. plus we haven’t deviated from our playing style, and teams know what were gonna try to do. i don’t think we are nearly as bad as the way we have played the last three games…. but we were by far not the best team in the nfl last year. hopefully we can figure some problems out this off week and partially turn the season around. but winning only hurts us now. the higher our record the lower our draft pick is.

The part that sucks about drafting real early next season is…

… the Patsys get our 2nd round pick. And after yesterday, giving them anything more than a swift kick in the pants is too good for them classless bums…

Bradford, McCoy, Tebow?

After careful research I have formulated a plan!!! I say we lose out and save the first pick for Sam Bradford, if he’s not available we can fall back on McCoy or Tebow. We need to trade VY for a pick or two and pick up some guys who can pressure the QB on the opposite side. Another wide receiver wouldn’t be bad either. But definately go for Bradford, even though he has a bummed shoulder right now, he’s still better than anything that we have now, combined.

by Mgrigsby on Oct 19, 2009 6:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I doubt anyone will give us anything decent for VY.

The time to trade him would be right now. His contract for next season makes him near impossible to trade, especially when he doesn’t put up great numbers.

I think VY stays until the end of this year and (hopefully) they let him go after that.

I really wanted VY to become a great NFL QB. But it doesn’t look like he will ever be anything more than a poor man’s Michael Vick…

youre gonna draft another wr? albeit they might be underperforming right now, but im thinking there are ALOT bigger holes on this team right now.

and if they draft tebow as a top 10 pick i will down more JD than KC. would be a sad sad day for tennessee

by mattd97 on Oct 20, 2009 10:50 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Highly doubtful…

… they’d draft Tebow that high, especially if either Bradford, Clausen, or McCoy is available.

Tebow is an all time great “college” QB. But I very much doubt he will be anything special in the NFL as a QB. His game seems to me to be better suited for college, not the pros. (JMO)

This team could use a big time QB. Who here wouldn’t want Matt Ryan or Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford on this team as the team’s future QB instead of what the team has right now?

There’s a chance we could have that if we take one of these QBs that are coming out next April. The trick is picking the correct guy. Just think how much better this team would have been had they chosen Cutler instead of Young?

Nope, this team won’t ever get over the hump without a great QB leading them. Unless we get extremely lucky and find the next Tom Brady late in the draft, we need to take a chance and draft another QB high in the draft. We have free agency and the rest of the draft to fix the other holes we have.

The only other way to get a young QB with potential is to trade for Quinn and hope they can fix the bad stuff the Browns have done to him. Trade for him in the offseason. Give the Browns a 2nd & a 4th in the 2011 draft in return. Then we could use that high 1st round in the 2010 draft on something besides a QB…

I think Bradford is the man for the job..

I think Sam Bradford would be a great canidate for the job. We have to find someone who can throw… And personally I don’t think cutler would have been a wise choice… He’s not doing as good as his rookie year.. And he’s rather cocky… If only we could obtain Drew Brees…

Hey guys

First time in here guys. I have read the comments you guys have made and it is refreshing not to see a bunch of crap from other teams like the yahoo page.

VY needs to start the rest of the season to see if he is worth keeping around at all. If he falls flat on his face, I say cut ties. Collins can be a Neil O’Donnel type back up next year and they can bring in another QB.

Do any of you guys think part of our problem may be our O line does not seem to perform to its typical level this season? I don’t see any holes for the RB’s and it seems that Kerry is having a hard time passing while lying on his back, go figure.

We have 3 tight ends that can start for other teams. I say trade two of them. We need at least one wide out with 2 hands. We need a big DL that can collapse a pocket. Our defense is struggling in my opinion due to the lack of a pass rush. It does not matter if you have a good secondary, they cannot cover all day. Couple no pass rush with missing both starting corners, and I don’t see how any of us can be surprised at the outcome. We are dead last in passing defense. Someone said we defend the run well, but that is because we make every oposing QB look like Joe Montana. Why run?

This team really has quit on Fisther. I hope he can get them to show some effort and determine who wants to be a part of this team going forward. Otherwise I think it is time to scrap and rebuild.
