Chicopee John Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well, there was Mark Sanchez. Still sitting there when the Browns turn to draft arrived. Rather than trading Quinn and drafting Sanchez at that point, the Browns opted to keep him and trade the 'draft rights' to the Jets. Mangini might even be more tight lipped than his mentor. Saying that the starting QB position is/was a toss up was nothing but vintage bluffing. Quinn will be the starter. I believe Anderson will be wearing another uniform before the season starts - maybe for a RB - hopefully for draft picks next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 i agree except that DA will still be on the roster. he may be traded sometime thereafter, but i think they'll have a quick look to see how quinns doin. he's only an insurance policy in injury.

Gips Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Many are looking forward to watching BQ make his mark on the nfl..for better or for worse the kid deserves his shot with the browns..however unless mankok gives DA away cheap Quinn will have the unfortunate task of kicking DAs butt in the qb derby potentially making him worth even less... DA is so undesireable in most schemes i bet he takes a pay cut and sticks around as a 3rd qb...hehehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisky fringo Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 although game commentators annoy me to no end, as i rewatch DA's games i am always blown away at how impressed they are with him. i am so completely used to the Brownies getting absolutely no love, their appreciation of his abilities shines through like a bat signal pointed directly at my face. they constantly talk about him like he's the Adrian Peterson of passing, it's nuts. if he continues to learn to dissect defenses Brady will never, ever touch the field in CLE. it's about time for the rest of you to accept this.

ballpeen Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Not a reflection on John, but it would be refreshing if we laid the qb talk to rest for a while. We have 3 qbs right now, and it has been stated they will battle it out in camp. We all have an opinion on who will, might, or should be the starter, and in all the time this debate has raged I haven't seen one person change their opinion. We end up regurgitating the same stuff over and over. It will all clear up over the next few weeks/months, so in the mean time it would be nice if we put a moratorium on all the talk, because it goes from talk to name calling pretty quickly around here. I hope Ratcliff studs out and becomes the starter...or could be...as well as both Quinn and Anderson because that will put us in the best position possible. Yesterday we got better on O and on D. In the end end that is going to help whoever emerges as the starter. We should feel good about that. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should make sure you were "rewatching" Browns games. DA's ability to throw a dissecting laser type pass has never been the question. Its his 10 cent head. Its his complete lack of ANY type of mobility. Its his inabililty to his a receiver in stride with a short pass. Remember, Mr. Dissect was the worst rated NFL passer last year.

DA had to lose it to even get p/t. BQ, by default. very convincing. ballpeen i thought my commentator anecdote was fresh. they call my QB names, i tell them to fuk off, it goes on..... i see your point.

Greythan Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Again, you don't follow the argument. Its not that Quinn is "my boy". Its that DA isn't. Why you want to invest more time in him is beyond me. See if Quinn can play. If he can't, we need a QB. Pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OconRecon Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Here's my MMQB assessment. Quinn - will start. Someone said Mangini knows he's a huge fan favorite and it would be a PR nightmare to not try him. As evidenced by the draft, he's trying to build a foundation, so he drafted a stud in the middle and some weapons. If Quinn can't do it now, then that's that, and nobody can say he didn't drive the car before selling it. Ratliff - Mangini likes him. If Quinn doesn't work out in the first season, Mangini makes everyone happy by giving Quinn a shot and he moves in Ratliff - who some say he prefers. In the big picture, he came to town, gave the home town boy a shot, it didn't work out, and then he brings in this guy. He softens up the home town folks by drafting Robiski, who is his type of guy anyway, and a darn good player. Anderson - is done. He had his chance, he's not Mangini's guy anyway, and the fans would revolt if given the starting job. Other than Lumby, I'm betting the anti-Quinn crowd moves right over to Ratliff. 2 cents worth anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OconRecon Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 how long is the leash to be? Tough one. If he's flopping, 6 games? If he's performing at a medium level, then at least this season as I'd bet most first rounders get a season to pan out. Seem fair? I want to win, but want to be patient too.

Yep, going to need to see him on the field to know. Whoever it is, it seems like Mangini is giving them the tools to succeed with O-line improvement and drafting 2 WR's in the first 3 picks. For Quinn, add on its a Dabol/Weis system, and he has been given the best situation to succeed. No excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Unbeleivable. How miserable does one need to be to continue the QB debate? A #1 pick at QB 2- #1's blocking for him, A #1 +2-#2's for him to throw to. People need to start seeing the glass at minimum half full!! There was no way Mangini could of come out of that draft grading any better than he did unless they awarded the Lombardi trophy to him on the spot. Very solid draft and adequate compensation. Let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan in Florida Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have a questions concerning the QB's after seeing the type of players that ManKok just drafted.

OconRecon Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 ...Very solid draft and adequate compensation. Let's move on. I'd rate the draft an A. I loved it. Solid, non-flashy picks. We avoided prettiest-girl-at-the-dance drafting, which is more Al Davis/Jerry Jones style anyway, not Mangini. I had a soft spot for Rey, but I'm over it. Add on the new regime had a limited time to put their evaluators together - an excellent job I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you point that out, because DA had to have the guy he LOST to in training camp traded before he could get the start. Then he had to have the GM tell everyone that he was the starter to keep starting. So, Quinn gets 6games, but DA continues to get more time to develop? You're as in love with DA as Lumbergh.

Frankly, everyone was wrong this weekend. I don't think anyone predicted what happened at this years draft. Mangini is on to something about drafting "smart" players. At the NFL level, most guys are all gifted athletically. I have held to the idea that what seperates the greats from the mediocre are two things. Work ethic and Smarts.
