Is the wind blowing? How much is the difference?
What
if the noun is plural? What would be the correct structure? Why the following sounds off to me:
*They were quite champions today.
And when we get to see them they’re ‘quite’ guys. http://dictionary.cambridge.com/tbc/tbc/department/www/.. What

Are the French champions still in the game?
Is the “recognized version” unused?
Is there a rule to start with singular thing?
He was quite a champion r usheerd in today’s sports.
Is there any example of this while using this idiom? We are more likely to say:
He was quite the champion today. I
have no idea why “, but I am stuck in the car. I have no idea. And I have no idea why.
In Greek, pluralise that and
you get. They were quite the champions today.
Is that idiomatic?
How is this currently being discussed in those comments? All comments are correct? When we say “You are the purveyor” it in fact means “You are great champion. That deserves more praise.” ” Again, I don’t know why. In my opinion, someone else may have an explanation for the event.
When
you have something to do, don’t you just say the word “champion”? “There is only one champion”. Why can’t we have more than one champion? Idiom, any idiom works. Please allow 50-50 idioms in your quotation.

I’d
use the plural form some, without the additional emphasiser quite : They were some

AHDEL says that this usage is informal.
Some adj.

Collins does not add this caveat, but (wrongly) restricts the use to a singular noun:

“Blogging or writing a book?
I’m a lot of all about catching a party, which was very popular. I’m really happy with my comments. Or quite a few hundred at the gathering. There were quite a few hundred at the gathering.
I suppose it could be argued that quite is qualifying the singular number or a few.
There were quite some numbers gathered on the beach or: There
were quite sixty people in the house but this last is not exactly the same idiom.
Quite technically can’t be used in front of a plural noun and still be grammatically correct. Using the instead of a/an when adding quite in front of a plural noun is really an idiomatic expression showing uniqueness. ex. if being an idiomatic expression having no meaning or verb. ex. She is quite the singer (or There are quite a group of boys)
Well, it is a common place, but if I look at it from a grammatical standpoint, it does not mean what you’re trying to get across.
In conclusion, ‘quite’ can be used to describe singular nouns, but cannot be used in the same way to describe plural nouns.
The word quite is generally used stylistically with a ‘the’ before a plural noun (i.e. “the’ comes from the middle part of nothing). They were quite the Champions today). I cannot find any evidence if a constructs + a noun has an English plural
noun.
