Quinn has one job basically....get to the passer, that is his gig. He can do other things but he is a speed rusher. That is why he got the big bucks, not because he can contain against the run....although he can. For his salary he should be a complete player. He has been in the pas and may be again. Like a lot of things this season it just hasn't worked out.
Long was a key part of the line because he (after a couple of years) set a consistent edge and got consistent pressure allowing Quinn less attention. I don't know if Quinn is not totally healthy or if he has some limitations now that are not going away. Maybe the nearly total lack of presence on the other side has affected him. Like most things this year it is a problem with multiple possible causes and no obvious answers.
The issue with cutting any player is who do you replace him with? The Rams could free up a little cap space by letting him go but it makes no sense at this point.
Quinn, Brockers, Donsld, Easley, Hayes will all back next year.
So, what is the long term outlook for Quinn?
