So, NOW WHEN will we know the starting QB?
-
We've heard dead heat many times this preseason, but
- Quinn started 2 games, DA started 1
- Quinn scored on a 2-minute drill, DA didn't
- Quinn threw a TD. DA hasn't.
- Quinn has a better QB rating this preseason
- Quinn did not have a meltdown game
- Quinn has been more consistant, as advertised
- DA has thrown more INT's, as expected
- Quinn has thown long passes, dispelling the myth
Each one of these "wins" are by a small margin, but the amount of total game snaps was few.
I'll be happy when there is an official announcement. I'll be stunned if it isn't Quinn.
quinns qb rating is ever so slightly above DA's...you quinn fans really make me wonder what your motivation is?I saw on another board where someone was actually advocating quinn as the starter for aesthetic reasons...their point being we need a "face" for our franchise..quinn was nothing much in college..I guess no one remembers quinns draft day,when team after team passed on him..when they moved him into a private room away from the cameras so no one could see him cry. If quinn is the starter,and stinks up the joint I will wait with great anticipation to see how all your quimmers...er quinners spin your way outta that one.

Since when is 86.1 ever so slightly higher than 51.3? Dude that is a 35 point swing on the QBR.
Not much in college? Dude was a great college QB. Though that certainly doesn't mean he will be a great NFL QB.
Remember when Aaron Rogers fell and team after team passed on him? You know, the guy who is the reason there is a private room away from the cameras now.

86.1 compared to 51.3 is ever so slightly higher?
BQ's completion is 67.7% compared to DA's 57.7%
BQ's int % is 3.2% and DA's is 7.7%
Look at the stats and show me where DA is even close.
Man, I got some swamp land in Fla. to sell you.

Im less worried about who our QB for Vikings game will be and more worried about how the fudge do we stop adrian peterson ?

OK, you guys want a COMPLETE breakdown:
Drives
BQ: 8
DA: 9
Offensive Ball Movement (total TEAM yds while at QB including rushing)
BQ: 324
DA: 263
Average Drive:
BQ: 40.5
DA: 29.2
Drives less than 20 yards:
BQ: 2
DA: 4
Drives less than 10 yards:
BQ: 1
DA: 3
Turnovers:
BQ: 1
DA: 2
Completion %:
BQ: 67.7
DA: 57.7
(this kind of explains the longer drive average, don't you think?)
Basically, what all this is saying is that Quinn will give the Browns defense a much better chance of NOT giving up tons of points. His drives are longer, even when they don't end up in points. The Browns offense will control the clock better with BQ at the helm...and he is less likely to turn the ball over.
This all adds up to a less exciting...but far more competitive team. I will take a winning season over a couple of ooooh ahhh plays any time.

Hey WPB...are those stats just from this preseason?Yeah....anything from years past really don't mean that much anymore. It is what is happening NOW that Mangini is going to be looking at.

But, but, but, DA throws farther....

I guess my point was, I think we will have fewer "OOOH, AHHH" plays with BQ at the helm. More of a blue collar, work your way down the field type offense. Personally, I favor that. I prefer making the other team's offense sit and spin for 7+ minutes while they watch you march slowly down the field for a score.
I also think WINNING is far more exciting than a 79 yard TD bomb. But that is just me.
