I might put Slaughter at OLB and Quinn over Clausen

I think the marginal decrease in performance by Quinn is more than made up for in a significant increase in leadership.

    - Probably not. - Kevin, 2015-07-27, 14:12
      - I hate your post. - Chris, 2015-07-28, 07:13
      - Is this as close as we can get? - Mike (bart), 2015-07-28, 06:24
        
        are you talking about this season, or in general? - Jay, 2015-07-28, 09:10
        
        In general - Mike (bart), 2015-07-28, 09:20
        
        Perennial preseason top 5 hype - LaFortune Teller, 2015-07-28, 13:54
        
        I agree. We'll never have the ludicrous depth required - Jay, 2015-07-28, 09:39
        
        We have what the hoops team always seemed to have. - Kevin, 2015-07-28, 10:18
        
        We may not have ludicrous, but we have plaid. - Greg, 2015-07-28, 09:59
        
        at the same time though - HumanRobot, 2015-07-28, 09:49
        
        I am wagering all of my KellyBucks based on two beliefs: - Buck Mulligan, 2015-07-28, 07:55
        
        shrewdness dictates a heavy wager - Mike (bart), 2015-07-28, 08:05
      - You think he's that bad? - Jack, 2015-07-28, 04:31
        
        I have no idea. - Kevin, 2015-07-28, 05:12
        
        That's what I'm thinking - Jack, 2015-07-28, 08:34
      - seems like that'll be Kelly's epitaph at ND - HumanRobot, 2015-07-27, 14:19
        
        It would be nice if Kelly could have the same guy... - BPH, 2015-07-27, 21:31
        
        has that been a big factor? - HumanRobot, 2015-07-28, 05:02
        
        it's huge, because we never got the seasoned vet (edit) - Jay, 2015-07-28, 09:46
        
        What's interesting about Kelly's QB fortunes at ND - Kevin, 2015-07-28, 10:16
        
        Crist was a lost cause - BPH, 2015-07-28, 12:26
        
        does the Whitfield experience count for something? - HumanRobot, 2015-07-28, 12:32
        
        Yes, I think so - BPH, 2015-07-28, 15:29
        
        have Kelly QBs show that leap historically? - HumanRobot, 2015-07-28, 09:53
        
        Kent Smith at CMU and Pike both did - Jay, 2015-07-28, 10:01
        
        Of course it has - BPH, 2015-07-28, 06:52
        
        I'm not so sure about that first statement - HumanRobot, 2015-07-28, 07:06
        
        Sure, the possibility exists - BPH, 2015-07-28, 07:19
        
        it's more the opportunity cost than lack of replacements - Mike (bart), 2015-07-28, 07:00

      - To answer the question - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 13:57
        
        you have to assume at least Kelly - HumanRobot, 2015-07-27, 14:12
      - The Team - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 13:25
        
        Lynch couldn't even start in 2011 - Mike (bart), 2015-07-27, 13:31
        
        Fair point. I was projecting him out. - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 13:45
        
        Gary Gray was also very good in 2010. - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 13:36
        
        Whether Lynch is eligible is a key issue in this discussion. - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 13:27
        
        intention was a specific player-year - HumanRobot, 2015-07-27, 13:55
        
        I'd agree with that. Though I'm not sure I'd take Lynch - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 14:04
        
        I wouldn't even take Lynch 2011. - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 14:08
        
        Yeah. I'd absolutely take Aaron "What Might Have Been" - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 14:19
      - Not a chance - Mike (bart), 2015-07-27, 13:17
        
        No on K. Russell? Yes, on Russell. Absolutely, yes. - scriptcomesfirst, 2015-07-27, 14:33
        
        I came to a similar conclusion - HumanRobot, 2015-07-27, 14:00
        
        My take (2005-now) - IrishGuard, 2015-07-27, 14:24
        
        I might put Slaughter at OLB and Quinn over Clausen - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 17:56
        
        Mine... - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 14:33
        
        Ryan Harris has no business at LT over Zack Martin. - Ken Fowler, 2015-07-27, 17:57
        
        All Second Team 05-now - IrishGuard, 2015-07-27, 14:49
        
        I might go 4-3 in that case - HumanRobot, 2015-07-27, 14:32
        
        That you are considering a former walk-on at LB highlights - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 14:34
      - Sure, but Tommy Rees will probably end up at QB - Jeff (BGS), 2015-07-27, 13:12
      - Start a new thread with All-Kelly Teams! - MHB (Rakes of Mallow), 2015-07-27, 13:09

    - Yes - Mike (bart), 2015-07-27, 10:06
    - Should the breaks bounce our way, yes. - ReginaldVelJohnson, 2015-07-27, 10:03

        I agree. - oviedoirish, 2015-07-27, 11:19
        
        That's the break I was referring to above. - Grantland, 2015-07-27, 13:31
    - Yes. - PAK, 2015-07-27, 09:52

        interesting comments by JS on that - Jay, 2015-07-27, 10:25
    - Big-picture, wise, yes. I think we are about as close - BillyGoat, 2015-07-27, 09:41
