OconRecon Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 In today's PD, Mary Kay is throwing out "But has he done enough to win the job?" line again. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/...m_clevelan.html To me, DA is the one who has something to prove coming of a season where he was the 32nd ranked passer on a 4-12 team, and whose numbers declined with increasing starting time. Has he improved his 2-minute drill? No. His short passes? Haven't seen it. Quinn's NFL abilities and growth potential are TBD. So far, Quinn: Game 1: Did well with most of the snaps Game 2: Did well with minimum snaps 2-minute drill: Did well and drove the ball And DA: Game 1: Did poorly with minumum snaps Game 2: Did well with most of the snaps 2-minute drill: Did poorly. Did not drive the ball and threw a pick. So, in practice, where DA is known to shine, he had a slight advantage over Quinn, who is known not to be a non-contact hero. In games, Quinn is up 3-1. Yes Quinn could have thrown no incompletions and scored on every drive. But this "he hasn't WON the job" stuff isn't holding water. Farve, Cutler, Big Gay Ben and many other have done worse this preseason. Tavarus Jackson has done better. Who cares. Start the guy with the unknown ceiling and see what happens.

Vegasdogg Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think you're both correct, and I think Quinn should start. If he doesn't Mangini is a dumbass and will be changing out DA by week 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Start the guy with the unknown ceiling and see what happens. nice anecdote. but here's a better one. And it's real: He's gonna start the guy who gives the team the best chance to win. Wanna know the most worthless line in sports?

And after Quinn gets outplayed in another practice, then DA will, then BQ, then DA. That has been the routine all through camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTBH Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Whoever wins the competition definately did enough to win the competition... neither guy has been exteremely terrible. In fact, save DA's 2-minute drill and we've got two pretty damn good QB's so far in the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squintz Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't get why there are so many that don't want to give Quinn a shot. WTF - are we really thinking we can win the division this year? We know what DA is, it's time to find out what BQ is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, save DA's 2-minute drill and we've got two pretty damn good QB's so far in the pre-season. You've got a serviceable back up QB and a !st round QB gathering dust for the past 2 years. And don't forget a token 3rd stringer who knows to keep his pie hole shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I want the QB that's going to go out and there and make wins happen, not leave them to chance. yeah that's what Mangini means when he says he wants the guy who gives him the best chance to win. maybe try flippin the old noggin switch on before you post another rambler like that last gem.
