choco Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 If you call having his chance with 1 receiver, 0 running game, and an idiot OC calling running plays on 3rd and 12 when you have no running game and no right side of the Oline a real chance to Show your stuff, you are crazy! Peyton Manning or Tom Brady would have looked pathetic in the same situation. yet, DA didn't. he scored a meaningful touchdown, with the same line (and didn't take a sack)....unlike boy wonder, who seems to get confused which way passes should be thrown. a running game helps, sure.....but there isn't anyone stacking the box against DA, now is there. safeties dont need to be 20 yards downfield when the ball wont ever be thrown over 5 yards. but yeah, jamal sucks right, and is the sole reason for our lack of running game. all we heard throughout TC was that although DA practices well, he shit the bed during games. boy wonder doesn't practice well, and shits the bed during games. is continuing this argument about how quinn was wronged really about quinn, or those that were misguided enough to believe he was a franchise QB? this shit's hillarious.....sad to say.

hammertime Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hear Brady is really going to show his stuff this week. He's going to wear one of Braylon's orange shoes and one of Trautwein's black ones, oil up his guns before the game, and then snatch off his pants everythime DA throws a TD pass, only to reveal Shaun Smith's jockstrap and dance for the Buffalo girls. Word is, with DA set to light up the Bills secondary, those big Buffalo mama's are paying top dollar for the first row behind the Browns bench. Zombo There is no point in arguing that Quinn stunk the joint up so far this year. But i'm curious as to what your angle is gonna be after a few games of the usual DA. God forbid the upper echelon of quality Brownsboard posters would have to consent the fact that they backed the wrong horse. I'm sure that would be a graceful thread. But then again i'm sure theres a backup plan to avoid reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AdaM Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 agreed I just don't think someone like Mangini is ignorant enough to write him off after 2.5 games this year.

And after getting benched after a few games who really thinks Quinn wants to be in Cleveland! I think we're a team missing too many pieces for the QB position alone to have much of an impact. I mean... you saw the cincy game. Anderson did not do anything spectacular. I wouldn't even consider it a 'good' game. It wasn't a BAD game.... but he didn't make it happen in OT and gave Carson way too many chances to score. DA has never been able to do it himself. I think the only come from behind wins we've ever had with him were via field goal? So i think if this team gets some better pieces around, either of these QB's could work. But Id rather it be BQ.

I will agree with you to a point...but I think the BIGGEST thing is to actually see what WE ALREADY HAVE!!! At RB, we have been waiting YEARS for Harrison...and in his 2nd legit start he pops 120+ yards We also have Davis and Jennings as young RB's. Give them a chance to play before drafting another. At WR we now have 3 young guys (Stuckey, Robo, MoMass) that could easily be a quality corp of receivers. Let's take a look at them instead of whining about a star receiver. Maybe one of them IS. At OL, these guys have played 4 games together...I know the right side is getting old, but don't do another full rebuild...it will only set it back to zero again. TE...Outside of Estandia we are a bit old here...so look for a mid rounder...all around type of guy If we just upgrade a the RT and TE position next year, there may be every reason to believe this offense could click and start to really produce.

Drunkandstoopid Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 No kidding. You cannot simulate in practice a real live pass rush and game speed in. This is to Masters and BrownsFan4Evr... who say a QB can't learn unless he's out on the field in actual games. Matt Cassel. Didn't even get off the bench as a QB at USC. Only collegiate start was as a halfback. Didn't get a start his first 3 NFL seasons. He's got himself a fat NFL contract as a QB now. Tony Romo. Didn't even throw an NFL pass 'til his 4th season. He's doing all right for himself. I could go on, there's a thick list of QBs that didn't cut their teeth in games immediately and have done well in the NFL. Will Quinn join that list? Time will tell.

Drunkandstoopid Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 You ARE RetardED!!! After spring, summer & preseason they decided he was the better QB. AND how in the hell can he develop while on the bench? Oh yea, we'll be able to measure his bench development and decide to franchise him and with even more bench development, I'm quite sure that he will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Retard!!! Spring and summer they decided they'd give him a chance. That's all we really know. We don't know if they thought he was a diamond in the rough and needed a couple starts to show his stuff, or if they thought they knew what DA had for sure and that they'd like to see how Brady could handle a few "real" games. Maybe they thought they could tailor an offense to Brady's strengths, one that doesn't ask him to test his weaknesses... then after 2 and a half games decided that was a mistake? We just don't know. I'm trying to be kind to Quinn with the developing on the bench comment. Personally, I don't think he has it. I don't think he can go vertical with the kind of success THIS coaching staff wants. The big question is, is there any coaching staff that that thinks their system is fine working around his limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every one of them, we could find examples of guys that took games. Romo and Cassel also came on to pretty talented teams w/ established OC's and two of the best HC to ever walk a sideline. There is still not substitute for live games, and I bet both of those guys would tell you that, just like Peyton Manning says it. I don't know if Quinn will ever pan out for anyone, but the only way for him to really get better at this point (or any QBs) is to see live Defenses in live NFL games. I would be utterly shocked if I ever heard a succussful NFL coash or QB say otherwise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPB Dawg Fan Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just look at Cassel in KC...and don't point at the overall because it is misleading to say the least. Game 1: 1 TD, 2 INT's....to OAKLAND Game 2: 14/18 for 90 yards Game 3: 14/32, 47% completion rate He has yet to put together a COMPLETE game worth having...and thus is 0-3 and averaging 13 points a game. But in NE...well, he was the next coming...enough to hand a $60m contract to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying you were full of it trying to use those 2 as examples of anything other than QB's can thrive on GOOD TEAMS. No, right now I think DA should start...until or unless he proves he HAS NOT learned to protect the ball. If he continues to grow and to lead this team in the right direction...he should start. Period. BQ will or will not get another chance and that is up to DA to determine at this point. And I for one don't care as long as we are winning.

Dawgbone Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I might as well chime in... First,, I look at the last two years at us and the other 31 teams. An example,, last year with Matt Ryan of Atlanta,, and Joe Flaco with the Ratbirds.. They were Rookies and it was either sink or swim... They did pretty good. This year,, look at Mark Sanchez of the Jets,, and Matt Stafford of the Lions,, (which has 1 win) but looks pretty good. Looks like they are either gonna sink or swim with their teams too. And 3 of those teams look pretty good,, and we all know that Detroit is rebuilding,, again,, but has a win already..As far for Quinn,, I myself don't think he has had enough time either to develope anything.. 6 starts in 3 yrs. Why's that ? All that money just to sit on the bench. They should've let him ,,, sink or swim,, for 16 games.. lets face it our QB's don't have to much protection,, or time,, once they get the ball.. I think if they EVER fix the problem, with the O line, as far as protection and blocking,, which will open up the running game then,, even BQ,, or DA would look a lot better... jmo..

Northshore Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was a BQ supporter when we drafted him and I looked forward to seeing him get his chance to be our QB of the future. That being said, I saw a completely different BQ playing the QB position this year when compared to what I saw in the couple games he started before the injury in 2008. Some of the things he does best such as roll-outs and bootlegs have been eliminated. It almost seems like he has been "coached" to play the position the way someone else wants it done, (such as stand in the pocket) and the things he does well removed from the game plan. To be fair to him and to the rest of our team, I wish we would just trade him and get past the controversy. If we get to the point where we need to play a backup QB this year it won't matter who that player is, our season is nothing more than a learning experience for the players and coaches this year. As long as we keep getting a little better every week it will be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sez.EJ Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 With all the talk about Brady Quinn being traded now, and some thinking we wouldn't even get much, I have to ask. Do you REALLY think he got a fair shot to prove what he can do? He had 2 1/2 games with TERRIBLE play calling, no running back, and one wide receiver who drops everything thrown his way. I don't feel he was given a chance, and I while I hope DA goes on to become the next Dan Marino, I also hope somebody gives BQ a shot to see what he can become. It just amazes me how he got jerked around the last few years, and then wasn't even given the opportunity he sat on the bench waiting for, for all that time. BQ's failure in the first couple games was more the OC's fault than his. I wish him well. But if I were him, I'd be pissed. Your thoughts? It's ok. When Anderson implodes again and again, Quinn will be back out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopaji Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Sounds like both QB on the Browns roster. If you haven't played live games at QB, you are essentially a rookie, imo. He has played in live games and he looked EXACTLY like he looked in training camp and preseason for the past 3 years. The difference is, defenses were actually playing starting in week one and he didn't get away with the crap he did in preseason when he posted those amazingly average numbers. And tell Aaron Rogers, Tony Romo, and Carson Palmer that sitting for a few years hurt their game. It does NOTHING but help and you are nowhere near rookie status when you finally step on the field. In all actuality, when he came in last year against Denver I expected a lot better at that point. If he were anything, he would have lit up what was possibly the weakest defense in the last 10 years. Especially after sitting for 2-1/2 years. He's a bust and most of us knew that for sure after 1 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopaji Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I have strong doubts about that. It is almost beyond comprehension that someone could watch Quinn and Anderson play QB one after another and come to the conclusion that there is anything whatsoever that Quinn does better. EXCELLENT!!! Now I know why everyone hates you Lum! Because you make sense and it doesn't bode well for Quinnies!!!!!!!!! If they switched jerseys for one day, people would be raving about how good 10 looks and how bad 3 looks. It's all about the handsome mug behind the facemask. Quinnies don't even watch the game. They just look for excuses why their blind support for a QB with ZERO NFL ability hasn't paid off. Depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopaji Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Apparently CLE coaches did that (you can doubt, but trotting Quinn out as the starter at the beginning of the season goes against your doubt). Based on preseason (I am well aware preseason means little to nothing), Quinn moved the team better. That obviously hasn't been the case in live games so far. This is one of those delusional posts that drive me absolutely INSANE!!!!! Quinn, in no way, shape, or form moved the team better. He did have less interceptions so good for him. But the only times he moved the team even sopmewhat well was against 2nd team defenses. He absolutely positively did not move the team better. Every drive that DA had, we kept on moving downfield. Yes, interceptions were there but he did, beyond a shadow of a doubt, move the team better. You can say that you liked Quinn better, but please don't try and say he moved the team better that is just fabricated shameless BS. This kills me because that is one of the CONCRETE reasons I know he will never be good. I went to three training camp sessions this year and have watched every preseason and regular season game and he has looked EXACTLY the same in all situations. He looks EXACTLY the same as he did in his rookie year! The same things that he did poorly in practice and preseason he was doing in the regular season. That is why ANYBODY who actually watches football without a hard on for ol' #10 can see that the kid has peaked and will NEVER be a productive starter in this league. DA may not be the hero we have all been waiting for but he is without a doubt, a better QB than Quinn. And the argument that he needs to develope is horse-shit. It's his 3rd year. If he were half of what Quinnies think and hope he is, he would have done SOMETHING while on the field. I mean, he did absolutely nothing with his time! Please people, let it die. The kid is just another in a looooong list of Savage's big swings and misses. He is not the exception..............................................I'm spent.
