Anderson is gaining leverage

  • Unbelievable that Delhomme got a contract like that - he has NEVER been what I think of as a guy to build the franchise around. That playoff game last year and yesterday's game prove it.

    Yesterday was tough for us, but man, we didn't have as much QB suckage as Carolina did. Or CHI for that matter.

  • DA is gaining leverage on what? The end of the bench? This isn't tetter-totter land, Numnuts.

    "I will not insult your intelligence by suggesting you really believe what you just said." William F Buckley

  • Oh, boy. Now DA has imaginary suitors, teams that REALLY REALLY REALLY want him, huh?

    If a team wanted DA, they could have him for a 2nd round pick. Guaranteed.

    So if a team as desperate at QB as Carolina isn't willing to give up a 2nd for DA, what does that say about DA?

  • They are signing AJ Feeley.. leverage...gone philli signed Garcia.. more leverage..gone..

    DA is what he is,

    A vey well qualified backup QB,for anyone who thinks he's more is dillusional.

    Im not going to bash the guy he isnt a starter but he's a good stop gap.

    yea, kinda like kelly holcolm with a big arm.

    If Quinn sucks for 6-8 weeks, I'd love to give Anderson another look. I'm totally serious. I'll be cheering my ass off, because I don't love this QB class at all.

    Probably isn't useful to talk in terms of classes: all you need is to fall in love with one guy, like you did with Sanchez.

    But if we're going to talk about classes, I'd predict that next year's will afford a different opportunity: the chance to draft a guy in Rd. 2 or 3 who might be the guy.

    If the coaching staff is unsure about Quinn, they could draft a McCoy, Pike, or Hiller to groom behind him. That's because next year will have a deeper, more talented senior class, even if the top QB prospects are underclassmen (guys like Bradford, Clausen, Locker, and Snead).

    Cleveland Browns, the land of the eternal QB controversy.

    (that's what the land would be if they went with your idea, or what you think they might do.)

    That would be the public perception, but I'm not sure how much it would bother Mangini. I'd guess he's more concerned about finding the right QB, which was a big part of why he lost his job in New York.

    And picking up a guy in the 2nd or 3rd would be the more conservative move (compared to using a top 10 pick on a QB), which would fit Mangini's MO.

    It's just an idea. Hopefully, Quinn plays well enough that we can focus on filling other needs.

  • Barring injury, Quinn is your starter this year. Put away the being pulled talk.

    If a trade comes along for DA then make it. Quinn stays until a completely different QB shows up on our roster.

    I love how all the new posters show up and belly ache without having realistic expectations about what needs to happen in CLE before we are a serious playoff contender. The NFL is set up so that anyone can be a playoff team, meaning anything is possible but lets settle on making a team of proffessionals this year. You can't weed out all the losers in one season.

    Comparing us to other turnaround franchises isn't fair we have truly been a expansion team since our comeback.

    If we can be encouraged to part of a REAL rebuilding, then let it happen. Otherwise it will become the standard Cleveland beat down. Not pretty or successful.

    Maybe so WPBD....but much of the numbers came in "who cares" time.

    having been at the game....it didn't look very good to be honest.....but 1 game doesn't tell the tale.

    DA had the same opportunity to pad his stats in "who cares" time in what 27 starts? Maybe he did, and that's why his QBR is as lofty as it is.
