Brian Quick signs with Redskins

[LACHAMP46]

but not worse as a football player.

They couldn't even play over someone many think is a terrible competitor. He caught 40 balls, for 500+ yards in arguably the leagues worse offense. I still remember what he did in 2014 b4 injuring his shoulder.

Clearly fans are fickle. I'll see if they bash any other wr that produces less, with Goff in his second year, with an offensive guru running the show now...

Like I said, we have 5 worse receivers still on the roster. Lets worry whether McVay can use the guys he has left to their advantage. I won't be frustrated to see balls Quick could get to but Tavon, Spruce, Cooper, Marquez, and McRoberts can't. Because, you know, they're using every bit of their natural talent, and it isn't their fault.

Actually that's true I'm not going to say who we have still is any better overall because everyone has played below their level frankly. And Quick's 3 games in 2014 where he ran freely isn't much of an accomplishment. Especially after teams started covering him and he disappeared for a couple games after that before he got injured. The part that really got to me was watching him stare at jump balls thrown to him while players half a foot shorter than him beat him to the ball. Or him quitting on plays. Or being pushed around by defenders smaller than him. No, I won't miss him even if he does become a good WR suddenly.

There is a culture change happening. I don't know if it'll result in wins but I do know the old culture did not. And the 2nd rounder we wasted on Quick was part of that. Glad to be moving on to at least different things.

Well to close out the chapter of Brian Quick I'll end it with this Champ. You mention he put up those numbers in the garbage offense. But Kenny Britt put up 1000 yards. That's what Quick should be able to do and he's much more athletic then KB. It's Quickies own fault for not being able to get open and catch the ball consistently along with running the wrong routes. The former coaching staff did EVERYTHING in their power to make Quick a big part of the offense. But he kept squandering opportunities again and again.

I'm glad the era is over.

The biggest problem I had with Quick was his seemingly lack of desire to want the ball. He had the size and athleticism to be a very good receiver. But don't expect him to try to win those 50/50 balls. His route running seemed lazy. Rounded off his cuts and didn't go after the ball. It had to come to him. I just didn't see much heart in the guy.

I'd say they're much less experienced instead of worse. Quick has had FIVE years and if any of our guys can't prove to be better options by the end of their 3rd year, I'll say adios to them too.

Best of luck to Quick.

But I won't miss him at all.

To be fair, he had to play under the Fisher fubar O regime, so I don't think he had the best of learning environments.

But still, I suspect his shortcomings are mostly between his ears. Not sure that's a coachable solution. I mean, McVay chose to let him walk. I think that speaks volumes.

Bummer. I was kinda hoping he would come back.

This is Brian Quick's chance (maybe last) to mature and give all he has to stay in the NFL. The Skins have openings at WR and a good system. It looked to me that he had timing issues with the ball. He is big with jumping ability but, seemed to lack the built in timing to high top the ball. A number of throws were really bad early in his career and the lack of timing ability made him look even worse. He needs to really work on his timing and run better routes while showing some heart. A new environment with no Kenny Britt around could help.

I don't care whether he sucks in Washington or becomes an elite receiver. I'm just glad he's not our problem anymore.

BUT!!! IF we can get a high comp pick, because of him, I hope he has a killer year, except IF we play him!!

 

[Big Game]

Wow didn't see this coming. Well I wish Brian Quick and his family the best

Looks like the Rams may draft JuJu with that second round pick

 

[Mojo Ram]

Well for all the Redskins fans that come here looking for how we feel about "losing" Brian Quick,

My advice to them....watch the week 4 game @ Arizona and stop there. You''ll sleep better.

 

[Mojo Ram]

For everyone happy about Quick leaving...I still see 5 wr's on the roster worse than him....

Quick is entering his sixth season though. Are you referring to unproven guys like Thomas, Cooper, Marquez, Spruce, McRoberts?

I'd much rather have T. Austin then B.Quick on my roster. Tavon has a better idea of where the endzone is located.

I don't put a lot of faith into any wide receiver drafter by Fisher.

One more year for Tavon Austin, just one more year to prove he has a role to play for this or any other NFL team.

Same goes for Greg Robinson.

Let's see now . . . the 'Skins get Quickie, and we get McVay. That sounds about right for the way things roll between us and Danny Boy's team.

I'd rather take a chance on an unproven guy than stick with a proven low effort inconsistent below average receiver.

Its too bad we never got to see what Brian Quick was/is. He really looked like he was going to be something early 2014. Not to pile of Fisher, but this team was sooo poorly coached and Fisher and the crew especially on offense got nothing out of nobody. This is a staff that could not get anything out of Tavon Austin. Feels like there was very little teaching/coaching under Fisher. Quick was a player that needed lot of coaching to help with route running and other things.

Quick has some talent.....would of liked to see his progression for 1 year with our current staff.

I'd settle for 2015 Tavon Austin, but i think he can be more productive in a modern offense with a quality QB.
