DawgTracker Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mangini is not stupid enough to alienate 90% of the Browns fan-base by shipping out BQ before he's had his season of starts. Do you really think it would alienate 90% of the fans? Quinn hasn't done anything for this franchise yet although he could potentially be good, yet he could potentially be very average. I don't think it is impossible that the Browns draft another QB this year. Would it alienate Browns fans who are also big Notre Dame fans? Probably Just like it would alienate Browns fans who are fans of DAs from college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 **off-topic apologies to thread originator** actually no it wouldn't. my entire string of replies can fit on my monitor, unlike a certain life sized McDonalds pic. but that's not what this is about anyway is it, Legacy fan? What's the matter? Me saying I trade DA for a cheeseburger hurt your feelings? Fine I won't post such big pics anymore. Actually I wouldn't trade DA for a cheeseburger, now I'm in the mood for some chicken nuggets. Or is it the fact that Ronald McDonald and DA resemble eachother because they wear the same size shoe?

PlaygroundLegend Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I just love how hostile everyone gets, it makes my days worthwhile Anyway, I stand by the fact that this is all, yes Lumster, a smokescreen. Its the only explanation. Mangini has kept the browns ppl QUIET, and I mean QUIET. They almost have me going with this whole trade BQ thing. Good thing we know it wont happen because Lerner sees Quinn as a team Rep. and the fact that he is HELPING Daboll create the playbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 heck i'm not even worked up--this is just me being normal. see what i mean, variety. and i never thought anyone was making fun, just being overly critical over the fact i posted off-peak. to address the non-issue: i would never include all that in one post. ever. was it all by the same person? was it all relevant? no. just from your viewpoint it's all the same>>it's from sisky fringo. therefore it would do better being tidied up all nice in one neat little post you can simply skip over. those posts don't belong in the same post. as rude as it might seem, to combine them all would be arrogant. every post deserves it's own attention and reply. if you don't like it you're always free to ignore. want to talk about me pm me or start your own thread. i'm now completely guilty of the very thing i criticized--if it wasn't jacked before it is now. sooo......can we talk football now? Brady Quinn might be a hell of a college player but i'm not so sure he's NFL caliber. i haven't seen enough. given enough time any number of QB's could make it at the next level, but reality is they rarely have that luxury. so the question for me is: is Brady ready now? cuz if he's not he won't get the start. That is why he needs the same amount of time DA had to prove his worth. I have been saying this the whole time Some of the DA fans seem to think Brady isn't ready after only 3 games. They must be some good talent evaluators. Maybe they can get a job with the Browns as scouts. Me I just use good ole fashioned playing time to tell if someone can't make it instead of sitting here saying " well I just don't think this guy will make it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 "Quinn not NFL caliber" And Derrick Brooks and Zack Thomas were too small, Drew Brees is too short, Emmitt Smith wasn't the fastest guy in the world. Ok this is THE last time I comment on this topic but for someone to say that a player isn't NFL caliber just by looking at him is wrong. Don't be too quick to judge people.

I knew someone was gonna bring this up, although I thought itd be lums... Key difference between Manning/Brady, and your buddy Derek. They were both first round talent and Derek... not so much. Oh, and dont bring up some bullshit about Tom Brady, because if you really want to got there.... first of all, you honestly are just trying to play devils advocate because nobody in there right mind would compare DA to TB, and secondly... Quinn has more ties to Tom Brady than DA does anyway which would make that argument null and void. There's no reason not to start Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OconRecon Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Key difference between Manning/Brady, and your buddy Derek. They were both first round talent and Derek... not so much.... There's no reason not to start Quinn. Exactly. First round picks get longer to develope as there's a reason QB's fall to day 2 of the draft. For example, interceptions. When a 6th round QB gets 20+ starts and demonstrates the same amounts of interceptions he had in high school and college, there's less hope he will grow out of it. But, when a first round QB had a great pedigree (Manning) or had great numbers in college (Quinn), then they are given longer to see if they can reproduce their form in the NFL. And Tom Brady stepped in and did well. He had less of a leash than DA and no where near the leash of a first round Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Masters Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Eli and Tom Brady sat and still learned (Eli for a half a year and Tom for almost two). DA sat for almost 2 years and learned nothing. Started 20+ games and still learned nothing (i.e. showed no growth). When you are 4 years into your NFL career and you play the same as you did when you were in college and HS, you are who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadWombat Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 From the looks of it, half this board would love to see Quinn and DA mud wrestle each other butt naked. Here's a thought. Wouldn't Mangini, who is physically very close to Quinn and DA, have a better grasp than you guys on who is a better fit for this offense? Stats are very useful and can tell a lot, but they don't give you the whole story. This QB situation is incredibly important for the future of the Browns offense, and no doubt Mangini has been watching both Quinn and DA carefully, both present day and of video reels of the last few seasons. I honestly would bet that Mangini has asked for RAC's opinions about the two early on (though I'm sure they made efforts to not alert the media for obvious reasons... ) Not only that, but little things like, for instance.... getting to actually TALK to Quinn and DA would surely give Mangini a better picture of how the two can perform. Lets just have a little faith that the men closest to Quinn and DA have a more complete perspective on their QB potential than we do. .... That being said, Quinn's my choice.

LCDawgFan13 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The bottom line is that no one can honestly say that Brady isn't NFL caliber, because he has only played in 3 NFL games and he was only healthy in 1 of those games. In that game, he put up the best debut performance by any Browns QB ever! Regardless of the opposition. He deserves at least a fair tryout. DA got 20+ games as a starter (after B-more saw him for what he was) and has clearly shown that he is not the answer for the Browns. Regardless, none of us has any control over who the Browns ' QB will be. Hopefully, Mangini will figure it out before camp, because I don't think this city can handle another QB competition!

Guest TheJokersWILD Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 What about all the guy's with their lips stitched to DA's xxxx. They all want Quinn GONE after 3 games and thier boy got a season and a half and lost his job. All I want if for Quinn to get his chance, if he fails ship him out get the next guy. Personally I would trade DA for a McDonald's cheeseburger just to get rid of Lumberg and all the loyal DA fans. I am a BROWNS FAN, I don't care what the guys name is under center as long as he can win games. CHEESEBURGER ANYONE??? Damn, I'm still craving that cheeseburger > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
