In a move that doesn't shock most Bronco fans, the team acquired quarterback Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns. Quinn's NFL career has been rocky (no pun), to say the least. After three seasons in Cleveland, he has 10 touchdown passes, 9 interceptions, and a 52% completion percentage in 14 games. Some people say those numbers reflect the fact that he's not a long term answer at the position. Some say he's never gotten a fair chance to run the show. And of course, there are others that attribute his failures to playing in that shithole in Ohio. At the very least, he is an interesting acquisition for the Broncos, who are searching for a franchise quarterback after last year's divorce with the Diabetic Demon. While his tools (PAUSE!) may not be as impressive as you'd like, having a known quarterback guy like Josh McDaniels to work with him is appealing. Josh has been a fan of his since his days at Notre Dame - and even tried to pry Quinn in a trade last season.
It remains to be seen how this works out. I don't mind the trade because Denver really gave up nothing. Their entire offseason has been really solid. I like Josh's philosophy of bringing in a deep pool of solid talent. As opposed to pouring all your money into a big time free agent who will most likely not be worth it.
Here's to hoping we keep B-Marsh...
