It's better to talk about things that might actually happen than nothing. Quinn and Edwards are both available, and we need a QB and a WR. Do I want Quinn? Not particularly, but it's certainly a possibility.
So you're saying there is really no difference at all? If you take the common definition of quantum, you'd be talking in the range of photons of light...very small indeed. If you take the technical definition of quantum, all it means is a discrete measurement, usually divisible by plank's constant (6.626068 ? 10-34 m2 kg / s), so that is really not saying anything either. Not trying to call you out, just curious how the word would fit into the sentence when used as such.
Could we offer Clemens straight up for Quinn? I mean Clemens is a Mangini guy. If Cleveland wont do that deal then you know we are in trouble at QB.
its the vikings, book it they saw that the bears just got a franchise qb, and finally realize that Tarvaris Jackson sucks, Brady Quinn would fit in real good with AP and plus, at 22 or wherver there at, hes alot better than any other qb there
If they do that deal then great, we keep our draft picks. Mangini knows nothing about Quinn and neither do we. I would take my chances because if Quinn doesnt work out for us, we still have Ratliff.
To me Quinn actually looks like he has potential to succeed. When I see Clemens on the field im biting my fingernails. Clemens has more value today but if he loses the starting job to Ratliff we wont get anything in return for him. Im just looking ahead with the mindset that Ratliff has a very good chance of beating our Clemens in camp
Quinn is a scrub. I would rather have a 40 something year old Glenn Foley then have to look at Quinn holding a clipboard making 1st round money. It seems to me the Jets are contempt with what they have for this season. At least it will give them a year to assess what they have and if it is garbage then you take a Q next year when the class is going to be much deeper at the QB position. I don't want to burst any ones bubble but they aren’t winning the super bowl this year so what is the rush to add a quick fix guy?
if they would have a first on the table, they would pull the trigger. i've read the same thing about edwards some days ago. i think they're just trying to get someone to actually offer a first.
I don't know how Queen has more potential to succeed than Clemens when at our absolute worst Clemens has shown more than Queen. The latter part of your post doesn't make any sense. If Clemens doesn't pan out in pre-season we'd still have Ratliff on our roster who everybody seems to think will win out the QB competition anyway. If anything, if you're at all entertaining the idea of getting Queen, it's probably because you don't believe in Ratliff either.
Ahhh, I didn't take this into account. I can't believe Quinn has the league in the palm of his hands and Mangini doesn't even know it.
There is the physical definition which as you say is 10 to the minus 34th power. What happens when you divide anything by a power of 10 that is negative? Same as multiplying by the positve power. Quantum in this instance (the difference bewteen Mangini inheritance and Ryan inheritance) is always refering to a large number because players are measured in units of one, except Gholston for now (and I was ultimately referencing team age and ability). Any measuremnt of one's self should be done discretely, unless you are RaiderJoe. Walk the Plank, matey. Arrrrrrgh!!! j/k
I don't think the true discussion, is who is a better QB Clemmens or Quinn. The true question is, which scenario gives the Jets a better chance to win, Clemmens with 3 years of experience Schottenheimer's offense or Quinn learning a new offense. You simply can not under estimate the impact of the QBs knowledge and experience in an offense. The Jets offensive playbook was limited last year because the Great Brett Favre never learned the full playbook. I would take Clemmens and the full playbook over Quinn and a limited playbook any day of the week. And, all you guys (and gals) who are going to say that I forgot about Ratty in the above discussiom, need to realize that the starting job is Clemmens to lose no matter what the team is reporting! Ratty had a great pre-season but it was just that, a pre-season vs 2nd and 3rd stringers.
At least one of Brett Ratliff or Kellen Clemens could be better than Brady Quinn based on what we know about all 3 of them thus far. Kellen played behind one of the worst o-lines in this franchise's history so he should be allowed a mulligan for his starting experience. Quinn did that much better with his? We need to build the team as if our QB situation is going to be just fine with what we already have, and that we are already competitive. Maybe we just need a game manager who doesn't turn the ball over or get sacked as opposed to rocket arm. Let Kellen or Brett battle it out and let the better man have his chance. If that fails, we'll know early enough to make the switch. If THAT fails...then we know our QB situation isn't fine and we take care of that for 2010. The talk of NEEDING a qb at all when we have at least two options who have never had a fair chance is still mind-boggling to me. If Mo Lewis didn't take out Bledsoe, Tom Brady would be getting as much credit right now as Kellen or Brett. If Brady didn't go down, Kellen Clemens would be rated higher than Matt Cassel. Let things play out as they are.
Homeboy, he was using it correctly. When used as an adjective, it means significant or drastic. You my friend, were referring to the noun!
