I thought the man actually looked like he could play. I watched him all preseason and believed that he would throw for 150 yards on 30 attempts because everything he threw was a safe short pass, but yesterday wasn’t the case.

Brady Quinn was drafted a couple years ago out of Notre Dame and finds himself in a great NFL position right now. Derek Anderson, the starter, had a miracle year and it forced Quinn to sit on the bench and watch and watch and watch. This year, Anderson hasn’t been very good and Quinn finally got his shot Thursday night against Denver.

Quinn ended the night 23-35 for 239 yards and 2 TD’s. I had predicted a 20-30 for 155 yards and 2 interceptions. He was careful with the ball and threw a lot of short stuff to Kellen Winslow, who quickly became Quinn’s favorite target. Coach Romeo did a great job getting Quinn in to start against Denver because the Broncos defense is just terrible and Quinn proved that.

I’m not comparing Brady Quinn to anyone right now, let’s just let him develop and see what happens. I wish him luck against every team but the Bears.
