Brady Quinn & Denver

The off season for the Denver Broncos was pretty slow this year in comparison to what transpired last season; both with the Shanahan firing and Cutler trade fiasco. This weekend however, was a little more exciting. Although not a block buster trade, Denver was able to acquire Quarterback Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns. Quinn isn’t considered an elite QB and is still early on in his career but he does have some upside. With the proper coaching Quinn could prove to be a great QB. He has the right skill set and I think he just needs a system that compliments him.

This season I’m hoping to see Quinn make a huge push for the starting position over current starter, Kyle Orton. Although Orton was able to put together an average season last year, he just isn’t the answer. At least not in my opinion. Orton is at best a backup and lacks the “big play” capabilities. He just doesn’t have the ability to get out of the pocket and make something happen DOWN FIELD.

One of the things that impressed me about Jay Cutler at his combine was his strength. He bench pressed 215 lbs. for 23 reps. As a quarter back, that’s fucking strong. Brady Quinn, is just as strong and considered a workout warrior. The guy loves to be in the gym which is pretty evident by looking at his physique. At his combine he bench pressed 215 lbs. for 24 reps. One more than Cutler. His throwing strength isn’t as huge as Cutler’s but he’s athletic and capable of extending plays with his scrambling.

Here’s to hoping for a positive season and hoping that Quinn turns a corner in Denver and is able to make believers out of us fans.
