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.

Or cheaper, or less cost.
Our last game makes DA more valuable to us...the better Brady plays, the more expendable DA becomes. The worse BQ plays, DA becomes more important to the team.
It isn't hard to understand.

Bull Phucken Shit.
He deserves ... we have to ...
No, no, no.
He needs to win and prove he deserves to be starting now.
Anderson put up 3,700 yards, 29 TDs and 10 wins his first year as a starter.
He was a sixth round pick, two training camps, four emergency starts, one year in the system, new offensive coordinator, taking over a team that was 4-13 and going 10-5 with them.
There is no good argument that Quinn needs to be babyfed or that we have to endure two more seasons of suckage because for some reason "we have to".
I thought Quinn won the job because the coaching staff decided he was better. Right here. Right now. That is what I fully expect. If you are telling me that Quinn is a two-year project that we must suffer with instead of having a better chance of winning games right now with Anderson ... then I am telling you that you are dead wrong.
I'm not giving up on Quinn. I'm saying I'm very disappointed and his window of opportunity just shrunk.
This was the guy that was the most "NFL-ready" QB prospect of his class. I'm sitting here three years later watching him dink around and play Keystone Kops while the only guy that has given me any hope at the position over the past decade dutifully backs him up.
Quinn needs to come out this week, win a football game, take command of the offense and put this shit to bed. It's in his hands.

Listen gimp,All you have ever talked about is your DA love crush,he's on the bench for the year get used to it.
Luv Crush???
All I'm reading this week on this board is the excuses thrown out there for BQ....and I think it's comical to read every reason as to why BQ didn't look any good on Sunday...OK I'll give him his shot....and I hiope he does win...very soon. but the argument is this...don't come out with this we need to invest years into a young guy....look at Ryan and Flacco., and even Sanchez for that matter... 1st and 2nd year guys with big arms and winning.....you want to say they have a defense...I'm on board with that...they get stops for their QB...this Browns D is pathetic...and the classic bitch slap from AP on that 64 yard run was ridiculous...do you think Palamalu would have gotten that?......So please just stop with the excuses for BQ...he's a grown dude, and should step up right now...if he lay's another egg this week...and I mean a big egg....he should gte a short leach from Mangini....
I'll give your boy his chance,...but I don't have to like seeing passes thrown backwards...???/a true Garo moment...

Zombo, what im trying to get across is that the Giants did it right, but we have been spoiled lately in this league with the likes of Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Joe Flacco, and Big Gay Ben that we have lost all of our patience.
What im trying to say is that Brady could have a HUGE ceiling, and I'd hate to throw that away because we would like to be impatient and say win not or your on the bench. Thats not a very encouraging environment, thats scary. With that thinking how is Quinn going to perfect his deep ball? He's gonna be afraid to throw it because he'll get benched if its a pick. We must stay the course and develop Quinn, he is our first round Draft pick QB who broke Joe Montana's records in college, Im pretty sure that he can do something in this league if we give hime a chance.
Another problem I have with your logic Zombo is that this who offseason period you have failed to see the difference from practice and the game, pre-season and practice dont mean shit. You wanted oone of them to "EARN the job, grab it" but that in my opinion cant happen in practice or pre season games, the only way you can truely see what someone has is during the actual NFL season, because there are players who are quite shitty in practice, that put up big numbers on game day. The only thing you can take from practice is how they do in a simulated repetitive environment, and how hard they work. And if were talkin about work ethic which QB went up and "grabbed it?" The QB that will start for us this sunday
Grab some faith and patience and Ill see you at the superbowl 2 years from now with Quinn under center...

I wondered to what degree some of you put on the worth of practice and training camp sessions, I'm starting to see not much.
On the other hand, I think there are those of us that noticed that Quinn didn't exactly step up in these practice routines and has been pretty vanila in his limited game experience.
Asking someone to wait (years?) on a guy who really hasn't shown much ...err... pizazz(?) at this position and at this level is a bit much, IMO.
I my self believe that Anderson has shown ... err .. pizazz. Has he been erratic such as young players often are? Yes. Have I called for him to be replaced at times? Yes.
I'd like to see what both have. I wouldn't be against seeing them platoon ... they are so different that it might be a strength and asset.
EVERYONE here uses the same arguement about one over the other and that same arguement could be used against your stance. It's a vicious circle.
They are both young. Ideally to have both rip up the league would be great. They are in atough position to compete against one another. They are both paid well, unlike DA making league minimum in recent years and being dropped off at work by his wife because they only had one car.
They both need to step up. Again, I'm in favor of platooning them and telling them both that they aren't going to lose their job by failing, but if one of them grabs the bull by the horns and becomes a star in the league, that is when the will win the job, not by default.

wow....see you at the superbowl with quinn under center? Broke Montana's records in college? As far as the record breaking in college goes...to quote Han Solo.."good against remotes is one thing...good against the living is something else". I'd rather wager on weather Quinn is even in the league 3 years from now..he might be..Frye still is..your loyalty and faith are admirable..but you are kidding yourself,Quinn DOESN'T have it...give him 2 years or 200 to develop, he doesn't have it..he is what he is..a system qb with a spaghetti arm who reached his football pinnacle in college...and is now on the slippery slope to obscurity...one day he will only be known as AJ Hawks bro in law.

And you can say just about the same thing about DA (minus the arm comment).
So in a nut shell, CLE has no QB.

play ground you are really not serious about this line of reasoning are you? College records? DA is not exactly low on the totem pole of college records either... and quite a few others who have never seen the light of a NFL game.....
the ND of Quinn era is not the same ND in Montana's era by a nautical mile.......
Brady has a ceiling like Chad Pennington and other low arm strength efficient/smart qbs.... that is completely possible.

I remember Bill Parcels saying that Tom Landry once told him that in a QB's first year you give him the benefit of the doubt. The second year he has to show you something. And in the third year you know whether or not you need to get a new QB. It is Quinn's third year, but first year starting. I think he has to show us something...an upward arc of progress. The problem I had with DA was his regression. He did not get any better with time which leads me to believe he will never get to the level that this team needs. I could be wrong...or not.
Either way, we need to see if Quinn can progress this season. If his play doesn't improve dramatically (compared to last Sunday) by the end of the season, we are going to have to start looking at other alternatives at QB. I hope that is not the case simply because I do not want to start the process over again. I am not a Notre Dame fan. I have no loyalty to a QB whether they are from OH or from the Pacific Northwest. I only care that they produce...and that they beat the goddam Steelers for once. The Bills just lost their 12th straight to the Patriots last night (although they screwed themselves...but I digress). I don't want our beloved Browns to join them in that statistic...losing for the 12th straight time to the steelers...just typing that pisses me off!
I want to watch the Browns and have fun watching...like the first half against the Vikings. Is this too much to ask?

That is a good way of putting it. I would say that Quinn has to be viewed somewhere around the way DA was viewed near the end of the 2007 season and the first few games of the 2008 season. Basically Quinn's start Sunday equals DA's start #8 in 2007, as far as the ground zero for the "second year he has to show you something" idea. Quinn isn't equal to a rookie QB in the NFL, but closer to being a guy who had a rookie year playing at this point, from a judging point imo.

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.

This is one really weird or stupid thread....
4 games, 56.3 rating = needs a long leash to get career off to a start
4 games, 45.8 rating = needs a long leash to get career off to a start
4 games, 63.8 rating = needs a long leash to get career off to a start
4 games, 78.8 rating = needs a tight leash.

Z,
I'm not sure why you see such upside in a guy with nearly 30 NFL starts who shows the same, chronic problems that have plagued him since college.
Its seems far more likely that the limitations create a capped ceiling versus a high one.
DA simply has to excel as a pocket QB. He is a handicap in terms of his athleticism. He doesn't move well either in or out of the pocket.
So, as a pocket passer he must be accurate and must make good decisions. These are both areas where we've seen little growth.
Regardless of where Quinn's ceiling ends up, I'm not one that thinks further investment in DA is a high probability bet. I'm confused why you would.

I am with ya there....watching the Browns is almost like being a cutter,one of those disturbed people who cut themselves, it always seems to be painful.I am so glad I play fantasy football so some of my homerism gets diluted by having my own teams to think about. I love the Browns but sometimes I'd rather go fishing than watch them lose.

DA could get it together, it is possible. The guy can certainly throw the ball.
I just don't have time to wait on him. I think he is going to be one of those guys that finally starts figuring out the game after a few more years in the league.
It's not going to happen any time soon.

Quinn? well there's historical basis to show he COULD get better, will he? Who knows? Does he need to show he is moving in that direction very soon? Yes...The good news about the Viking game is it felt more like jitters to me more than anything else. At this point, it didn't seem like there were fatal and irreversible flaws. Take away the misread on the INT, the false starts by the new offense, and Braylon's TD catch coming from out of bounds and we'd be talking about how Quinn had a solid game with a QB rating in the 100's. These are things that can be improved upon easily and quickly.

BQ has a TD called back on a throw where haters are trying to say wasn't even a good throw. Then, they go WildDawg and don't score. TD to Quinn.
On the pick it was straight miscommunication. It is arguable who made the inappropriate read, although Braylons took credit for it. Wipe the pick off.
He very easily could have had a 22-36 game with 2 TD's, 250yds and no picks. Granted, the late TD was dressing but it was hugely needed to get the monkey off their backs. Those aren't that bad of stats, and maybe Braylons catches the one go route if he runs the right route. What that translates out ot in QBR I don't know, but probably well above 100.
On the Garo, DA never gets the opportunity to do something that goofy because he would have been sacked or chucked up a possible pick beforehand.
Point being, Quinn did not play well and seemed reluctant to take more shots, but he was also feeling quite a bit of pressure, going up against a top defense, playing his first home start after being named full time starter and with a whole new staff and tons of different personnel.
He was not as bad as he is being made out to be. Give the kid a chance.
