Unlike Kosar at this stage in his career? Both were 1-2 in their first three career starts. The only team Kosar beat in his first three starts was a 1-4 Houston Oiler team. Quinn beat a 5-4 Buffalo team on the road. While that's not necessarily a big win, it's a bigger win record wise than Kosar at that stage.

I'll admit that I'm not completely sold on Quinn yet, either, but I don't think it's a good argument to say that he hasn't won a big game yet.

Also, Quinn and Kosar took over their teams at opposite ends of the spectrum. I'll say that Kosar did more with less it seems. In 1984, the Browns were 5-11 and the next season, Kosar took over as qb of a 3-2 team. He went 4-6 as a starter with a rating of 69. Quinn took over a team with an offense that carried the team to 10 wins the year before, but was only 3-5 this year. In his few starts before his injury, his rating was 66.

Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5 to 4; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw!
