Lets say God Forbid Cleo Lemon, Joey Harrington, and Daunte Culpepper all get hurt and there are no good qb's that we can get through free agency or through trades and its our turn to select a pick #9 overall and quinn, russell, smith, and leak are all still left. who would you choose?
 
Ok, I'l bite. I'll take Quinn. Call it the Catholic in me. :chuckle:
 
id take jamarcus russel and smile the whole time. In fact if russel where to drop out of the top 3 then wed know that 3 nfl gms are complete idiots. That is unless nobodys interested in a 6ft 230 llb qb that can sling the ball 60 yards off his back foot with his off hand
 
I'd have to go with Quinn and his excellent decision making over Russell and his laser-rocket arm.

jamarcus russel is the bast QB in the draft if we had a shot at him we woud be passing on the next Daunte Culpepper
 
I'd take Quinn.

He played in a pro style offense, learned his playbook pretty quickly, can read defenses and make good decisions with the ball.
 
Qb

I've noticed recently that the majority on this board (including me) are starting to sway in favor of drafting Brady Quinn at #9. The right decision is to draft Quinn if he is available at #9 because he will be the BPA. This is where I think we have a dilemma. CULPEPPER'S CONTRACT.

He is signed through 2013 with a cap hit of $6.9 million for 2007. I'm sure his cap hit will increase as the years go on. I know Pepp hasn't show much the last couple of years, and most of us have been in discussions/debates as to why he did not perform well. I believe he can still be a good QB behind an improved offensive line.

So why should we draft Quinn if there is a big possibility that Pepp's contract might be a problem. From my interpretation, Culpepper's contract makes him pretty hard to move and that could bury Quinn 3-4 yrs at least, maybe longer. If I'm wrong about it being hard to move Pepp, please let me know. I'm just trying to make some sense out of this situation if we are going use a high draft pick on a QB who might not see the field for 3, 4, 5 years.

My question is: Is it smart to draft Quinn if there is a chance he might not see the field for a long time?

Is there an option where we can get Quinn on the field sooner without dead cap hurting us for years?

With the 9th pick, I'd of course flip a coin between Leak and Smith. They're both leaders and can win big games, unlike Quinn. :rolleyes2
 
We may have to unload him like we did Feely(actually give up a pick), but IMO if Quinn is ready to start then Daunte will be moved. He could always renegotiate w/another team for a chance to start.

It seems like everytime you hear quinn you hear that obviously there most not be alot of other problems with him then. Also manning had same thing said about him as hundreds of times posted on here.
 
Draft in my opinion...

I think we all know that we should be targeting a QB in the first or second round of this year's draft, meaning in the first we should be praying for B. Quinn to fall to us. If Quinn doesn't fall to us then I think we should take one of the best players available to help out another position such as Laron Landry who has the talent to be an all-pro safety in the NFL and move Jason Allen to the corner spot. In round 2, I think we should then target a player like Drew Stanton. He shows he has the physical talent to be a good NFL quarterback but lacks good decision making which can be fixed.

In none of these 2 rounds do I think we should be trying to get a wide receiver. Many of you seem to show interest in players like Ted inn Jr. who I can not see being successful in the NFL except as a return man and we definitely dont need to be wasting our picks on him with all the needs we have outside of that.
