Chiefs | Failed to improve at quarterback?

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:38:40 -0700

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said he is very comfortable with the team's quarterback tandem of Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn. "I think we have a very good and very competitive quarterback situation. I really do. And it is what it is. You know what I mean? That's the situation we have. And I'm very comfortable with it," Pioli said.

The Chiefs talked about creating better quarterback competition during the start of the offseason, but they just signed Quinn to the mix. They let QB Kyle Orton depart as a free-agent on a three-year, $10.5 million deal that Pioli described as "very, very generous" and they were not in the Peyton Manning derby despite owner Clark Hunt saying to the world the team wanted Manning on board.

Chiefs | Brady Quinn unlikely to push for starting role

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 01:30:06 -0700

The Kansas City Chiefs seemed like they wanted to add competition for QB Matt Cassel this offseason, but the signing of Brady Quinn is unlikely to provide that. Quinn has not played a regular season game during the past two seasons. He does, however, have history with head coach Romeo Crennel from their time together in Cleveland in 2007. Quinn does give the team some stability as a backup quarterback, an area the team has struggled at in recent seasons.
