Manning vs Manning vs Quinn
-
If you believe Quinn deserves more time, than this thread is indeed pointless for you AdaM. No big deal.
If you believe we should pull Quinn now, mad he "shit the bead", or bummed he didn't look better, then maybe this will give you some other thoughts.
Ocon No logical Browns fans think Quinn should be pulled now, Lumbergh is NOT a browns fan.
Quinn deserves at lease 5-7 more games period. the right side of the Oline is not his fault nor is the droppsies or recievers running different routes than what they are suppossed to.
Quinn did take some shots down the field and had that nice scambling pass, that being said he seems to be checking down constantly to running backs and tight ends or 3 yard passes to recievers.
Maybe thats not a bad thing maybe it is, we will see how multiple teams game plan defensively for us and IF he does not throw those 15-25 yard tight ropes that are absolutely necessary to keep defenses honest we will be in trouble as an offense and team. The defense I thought looked much improved in the first half but got wore down in the second, the offense needs to sustain drives to give them breathers.
Now IF Quinn looks the same over the next 3-4 games the screams will get louder to put DA in and probably rightfully so.
Ocon No logical Browns fans think Quinn should be pulled now...
Agree. I'm still for seeing how he does until the bye week, but there is the business aspect to consider as 'peen points out. Improvement sooner rather than later is needed. Tough opponents can't be the excuse forever, in fact, I think he only gets that excuse last week. Now (over the first 6-8 games), its time to put up solid performances.

As I say....expect to win

Not to hijack my own thread, but is anyone else surprised DA wasn't even mentioned regarding the Delhomme and McNabb situations? I guess Feeley is perceived to be better despite his lack of Pro Bowls and 10-win seasons.

I'm not surprised, they look at the Cleveland Browns situation and realize that Anderson is needed here just as badly if not more-so than anywhere else.
Had Quinn stepped up last year, this off-season or training camp, or was even lights-out in Game 1 ... then DA might be view as expendable here. But today, he's as much as the near future of this team as the current starter.

hey Ocon, what you really want is for DA to be shipped outta town pronto, then your BF has less of a threat waiting on the bench to replace him..the Browns would be fools to get rid of DA now...you can make all the comparisons with other qb's ya want..it doesn't mean shit...all that means anything is the numbers in the win/lose column..Quinn reminded me a lot of Russel ,both have accuracy problems.

He needs to improve this week. Period. We all agree.
I also agree we shouldn't move DA yet. I'm just surprised there has never been any talk of interest and inquiry. Perhaps you're right and its obvious that the Browns are still figuring things out.

Zombo..... Eli Manning sucked for 3 years before he started playing well at the very end of the season and in the playoffs when they won the superbowl.
Eli gave 48 games of suckage before he started playing well, and your going to give Quinn only 10? Tell me how that makes sense? Quinn needs a few years of IN GAME experience to play well. We cant expect him to be a superstar right away.
We have to let him learn from his mistakes for a season or two. Practice, sadly, is not the game. Completely different. Trent Edwards has been at times downright awful these past few seasons.... He was an all star last night...
Quinn WILL be good, I say play him till it clicks Whether it takes 3 games or 3 years

That's a nice analogy ... now apply it to DA's situation without flip-flopping.

Playground, you know the NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG don't ya?I have no idea how old you are, but I am old enough to remember when the Browns were FEARED..not anymore..ever since we have come back we have pretty much sucked...if you don't believe in the not for long theory ask Chris Palmer, ask Butch Davis, ask Romeo...ask the three OCs that were fired before this season even began.
We don't have the TIME to wait for Quinn to blossom...we are a small market team, Unlike the Giants who had other stars on the team when Eli was drafted...you think Lerner has that kinda patience?It's a "what have you done for me LATELY" league...you think Mangini,who wants to keep his job,wants to walk into Randy's office and say.."Um Boss,I think Quinn needs another two years to blossom"? He'd be out of town in a heartbeat..

Point of story, even Super Bowl QB's are given a chance to get comfortable. I'm still hoping for great things from Quinn. His reputation is better leadership and less turn overs than he displayed on Sunday. The only thing for this team to do at this point is get behind him 100%.
Chin up mates, let's see how this story unfolds.
N.B. Anybody else watch JaMarcus last night? With over a year's experience, "appropriately" drafted higher than Quinn according to draft experts, and a full off season of snaps, he lays an egg with a QB rating of 45 last night. I wonder what Raider nation is saying.
Nice post. On Monday night football last year Jaws said of Quinn, "A star is born."
Whether Quinn lives up to it, I have no idea, but Jaws saw good things in Quinn.
He has Peyton Manning-like study habbits, he's already calling plays, who knows he might turn out to be a good one. I certainly hope so, the fans deserve some success from the Browns.

6th round pickTrue. Most 6th round picks don't get the first round long leash. Just the way it is.
Most declining QB's don't get a second chance, especially if they're yanked for the lack of production after 8 games and then lose a QB competition the following year. DA was being figured out by defenses last year. Case in point, the Bungles games of '08.

Here Ill give you this ultimatum Zombo.......
Quinn plays 10 more games doesnt play up to your standards and gets pulled, career backup. We draft yet another QB, take time to develop that QB, go into rebuilding, because by the time that QB is in his prime (if he even turns out to be good) Our current cast will be too old to support him, Joe Thomas will maybe be out of the league retired, Braylon Gone... etc.
Or
Quinn plays the rest of the season not completely up to your standards, then we start him again the following year, same deal, we give him one more chance and he becomes Peyton Manning and a Superbowl Winner.

Hey Playground...you remember Vince Young don't ya? You know,the QB who beat OSU in the Shoe,the expected number 1 overall pick,the one the Houston Texans DIDN'T pick, DESPITE massive pressure from their fans.
Look at Young now...riding the pine while an aging veteran runs the team, He was given a shot,and Jeff Fisher,a coach who IMO,knows what's up benched him,despite his huge contract,because he thought,and it seems he was right,that Young couldn't win. Like Zombo says,we don't have time for "project players" and if Quinn turns out to be a project he needs yanked.
Plus with the way bq's contract is structured they wouldn't want to pay him incentive money so he can stink up the joint,just like the Titans didn't want to pay young,or the Niners didn't want to pay Alex Smith. It's a business,first and foremost.

So we can use comparisions to show how BQ stacks up and it is valid but when comparisons are used to show how DA stacks up with many top QBs after 27 starts those are not valid arguments?
Like many said on this board when looking at how DA compares to others, it is the smell test. And that game stunk. BQ did do a nice job in the pocket, but I can just imagine what people would have said if DA dropped the ball on a scramble throw. Things like what a Dumb Ass. He is losing us the game. He is so clumsy.
I mean BQ gets sacked 5 times and has two turnovers and I have seen some people say it was the offensive lines fault and that DA would have gotten sacked 12 times and thrown 3 interceptions. Get a grip, this is an improved OL I have seen many here say that. This is a top 5 OL I have seen that. And DA would have been sacked 12 times? When was the last time you saw DA sacked more than 3 times? He releases the ball too fast (Not always correct when doing so) to get sacked that many times.
I am not saying DA would have done better than BQ I am saying BQ did not play well that game and his rating would have been closer to 20 if the Vikings had not played prevent defense in that last possession. This is his first start this year, you can not make a huge deal about it. After 8 games you can make a judgement. But when BQ has a bad game you need to expect people to attack him. Remember the bar was set when DA was QB. There are NO excuses!!! Not the OL, Not the play calling, Not the receivers and Not this is his 4th start. Excuses were not good for DA and they are notr good for BQ.
In this game BQ sucked, that does not mean he sucks. Just means he had a bad game.

I'd rather we give it to Cribbs. If Queen is that bad, we know Anderception is that bad - might as well give it to #16. Clearly Daboll wants to run, and throw short shitty shit. Josh can handle it for 2-3 months. Cribbs, Lewis & Davis/Harrison in the backfield. Vickers as 1 TE, and Heiden as the other. Have Furrey line up at WR, and spell him with MoMass.
F' the WildDawg, spread option this bitch and draft Tebow in April.
I mean, if we've already given up on the season... I'm giving up thinking before I type. Just whatever farts out of my brain is getting plastered to the interweb.
Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. -Don Shula -
Ocon, THANK YOU for starting an intelligent thread on the QB play. Great posts all around in here, too.
Zombo: you have a good point about Quinn needing to improve but it's truly ridiculous to say "It's his third year, he has 4 games to show us he'll be great." It just doesn't work that way, and you know it.
I think it's more reasonable to say he gets 4 games to show us consistently positive results: good reads, accurate throws, no turnovers, smart audibles, etc. Those are things he supposedly excels at and those are the things we need to see him do.
And if he can do those things consistently, the results will come.
One thing we 100% agree on: it's on him. He's gotta find a way to produce, even amidst an offense seemingly in search of a gameplan.
