I can't believe it happened...
-
There's a part of me that is really jealous of both of you to just "turn off" the switch that makes you not care about this team anymore. I try to stay away, I think to myself on Sundays (the Denver Sunday for sure this season) that I'm done with this and I'm not going to turn down other opportunities on Sundays because I want to watch the Browns, but by about Wednesday I'm sucked right back in and I can't wait for Sunday to watch them play again, convinced that this week is going to be the week that we turn it around.
I still believe that for this week...
I am just the same. Im so pissed after the browns get spanked, and by thursday despite being 0-3, i still am optimistic that the browns can make something happpen this sunday.
I am 100% on Zombo's side here, i wanted DA to start the season in the first place. Im too lazy to quote somebody who said that "brady is not to blame for mistakes and the few turnovers he is accountale for" , but what has brady done? 1 td in three games? i'd rather have DA and his gunsling mentality throw some deep shots and set up jerome harrison in the run game, then a offense who struggles to even get a first down.
btw...why is jamal lewis still our starter? is it not clear that Harrison and Davis are much more dynamic and will step up the run game?

Here's why:
2/21/2008: Signed a three-year, $17 million contract. The deal includes $10 million guaranteed. 2009: $2.4 million (+ $4 million roster bonus due in March), 2010: $2.4 million (+ $1.5 million roster bonus), 2011: Free Agent. Cap charges: $6.5 million (2009), $4 million (2010).

I don't know ... but I'm surprised you didn't come back with the gold standard pot/kettle thing.Everybody is pissed ... because Brady Quinn sucks.
Not my fault.
Not Eric Mangini's fault, he didn't draft him.
So we are back to the QB who was 13-11 the past two years and we are moving forward.
We have the Bengals at home and just switched to a QB that the coach is more comfortable with ... sounds like we have a good chance of winning this week. I'm going to enjoy it. Those of you that want to cry and bitch because the benching of Quinn is some big symbolic thing that you can't handle .... well, you're homos. Move on.

I love how people tend to 'forget' that Anderson was 0-3 in the first 3 games last season, throwing 2 TD's and 5 INT's. He then only won 3 out of the 10 games he played in. People NEED to stop combining records and stats from 07 and 08. 07 was a freak year. Defences didn't know how to cope with DA's new approach to the Cleveland offence. It DID NOT work at the end of 2007, and it DID NOT work in 2008. Therefore it seems logical to conclude that it won't work in 2009.
Next time, look at the facts, then make a logical statement. Not one made on sentiment and foolhardiness.

Let me fill you in on your confusion: Quinn sucks.
His "situation" is no worse than the situation Anderson faced in the first three games of last year. Thing is, if you take those games awyay from Anderson, you have a pretty nice start to a career for a young guy with a great arm. You take away Quinn's three and you have just unknown.
Anderson is more experienced, can make more throws, has a quicker release and has a history of winning games with the surrounding cast. Be thankful he's starting this week.
As for the "get over yourself" thing ... I repeat, it's not my fault Quinn sucked, and it's not Mangini's fault either. Sorry you bought so hard on him ... but he blows. Mangini's the coach, he has a four year contract; Anderson's the QB, he is 13-11 the past two years ... you don't have to get on the train, but try not to be such a whiney baby as it pulls out of the station without you.
Zombo
Z, you have lost all objectivity and your credibility has gone with it.
Quinn's situation beginning this year is comparable to DA's last year, huh?
Well, let's see. Last year, DA was starting a season as the unquestioned starter in an offense he knew well, with a HC and OC he knew, fresh off a big raise on a team that was a trendy pick to contend for the playoffs after a surprise '07. DA was coming off a "Pro Bowl year" and BE was about to take the next step to the big time. Winslow was a stud TE and Jamal Lewis was revitalized.
Meanwhile, Quinn began this season after one off-season with a brand new HC and OC, a brand new, rookie center, a demoralized and disinterested BE, a brand new #2 WR who is still learning the position, a journeyman RG and RT, an old and injured Jamal Lewis and no TE to speak of. And he had to share snaps with and out-perform the more "experienced" DA, which he did.
Yes, obviously, their situations were exactly the same.
Interestingly, however, DA went on to continue to utilize his "play making ability" and his "experience" even after those wonderful first 3 games, despite Quinn's presence on the bench.
Were you okay with that decision, too?

Zombo
Nice double standard.
You blame Quinn when he has Robert Royal, Cribbs as his #2, Jamal Lewis still, and an even worse right side of the line.
But when Anderson doesn't have Joe J, Stallworth (who never did anything for us anyway), and Winslow, that's an excuse.
You just keep making yourself look even more biased.

Zombo said:
Umm no .. I am granting Quinn the excuse.
I just want equal time for DA.
And I am saying that if you remove the three games for both, then Anderson has an impressive resume for a young QB while Quinn is a big unknown. Backtrack and read the posts if you are confused.
You are another ... Quinn Fag.
Zombo
Why do they let you post here? You offer little to no intelligence, and you're very rude.
Grow up.
And DA does not have an impressive resume. I posted the stats earlier.

Zombo
Which 3 games are you removing? The 3 to start last season or the 3 starts in 2006 when he stuck up the stadium like he did at the beginning of last season?
Both QB's suck...Anderson isn't the savior...he's capable of a big game..he can throw 4 TD's or 4 INT's..no one knows which will happen week to week.

Actually, we always know what will happen.
If the defense is garbage, Anderson lights it up.
If the defense is average or better, he's terrible.

To answer this before one of the Anderson supporters does....Anderson had a good game against a good defense last year when we played the Giants.

Yep. He's got a 1-8 record against good defenses in his career.
I know that he had a great game against the Giants. He was impressive. It's just too bad that he couldn't keep it up.

The sad thing is, the Browns are no closer to being competitive than they were in 99 when they came back. It has been 10 years and we are still playing like an expansion club. UGH!

You know, I think Tampa Bay still did worse in its first several years as an expansion club.

Wow. Two straight (term used loosely) pages of a complete and total willingness to give Anderception a mulligan for 1st 3 games of '08 but not the same for Queef for this year. Both offenses are in complete disarray - (remind me who our TE & #2 receiver this year is again)- I'd say the circumstances are pretty effing similar.
Look Z, you take away DA's 1st 3 games of last season, and he's still a scattershot QB. A monster game against the Giants, a couple of serviceable games (still hovering around the 50% completion percentage, low 200 yds area) and then a couple of real stinkers. He is what he has been for his 5 years in the league & 4 years in college. He is the NFL QB equivalent of an Aneurysm.
IF ANYBODY is getting a prize, it should be me, for my new totally awesome nicknames for both of our QB's.
Brady Queef, & Derek Aneurysm. Kill me.Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. -Don Shula -

Winslow was phucking injured you dipshit and Lewis blew.
DA was coming off a concusion and BE was coming off an injury, they had lost their chemistry and SEDRICK PHUCKING STEPTOE WAS THE #2 WIDEOUT. I just don't understand how you can say Quinn's circumstances the last three games were any worse than Anderson's the first three games last year. It's just bias, plain and simple.
You, my friend, are a Quinn Fag.
Zombo
Way to restore that credibility, Z. Nothing like typing the words "Quinn Fag" to convince people of your air-tight reasoning.
The point of my post, since you missed it (speaking of bias...), was that last year DA was a "Pro Bowl" QB, coming off a season in which he was rewarded with a (relatively) large contract and was crowned the unquestioned starter for a team that was a trendy pick to contend for the playoffs. He was the leader of an offense that he "knew" and "excelled" in, in 2007, with the full support of the GM, coach and OC. He was supposed to be the guy and everyone (who wasn't paying attention closely) was pumped for him to "break out".
And then he started the season 0-3 and played TERRIBLY, contributing to the debacle that was our '08 season. Yes, there were injuries, I'm aware of that, but I'm not using it as an excuse for DA just like I'm not using this year's ineptitude surronding Quinn as an excuse for him.
My point, quite simply, is that you are a hypocrite. DA stunk it up and was allowed to continue his "growth" while "gaining" valuable experience.
But not Quinn. Some of us say that we think 10 quarters against 2 top D's (and Elvis Dumervil) is not enough to judge a first-time starter in any circumstance let alone the clusterfuquay that is this team, right now.
Yet your response is that it's obvious Quinn sucks after starting 0-3 but NOT obvious DA sucks after going the same 0-3 under obviously more favorable circumstances.
And I'm the biased one?

Z you better respond.
Looks to me like you just got owned.
Nice, rational post Dama.

Lets not forget,Everyone keeps using these parallels "the first three games"
To add to Dama's post DA not only was handed the keys for 08 but he returned to the EXACT same system as he had the previous year,with the EXACT same players.
What do we have this year,Cribbs as our #2,wtf?
But there was no JJ at the other WR for those first 3 games last year, BE missed some camp, DA had a concussion early in preseason, etc. (note I am mocking those excuses)

KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!
if Quinn can have just a couple more games, or even the rest of the season>>> I JUST KNOW HE CAN GET IT RIGHT!!!!
i just know you can do it BQ, i just know it!!!
fuk that stupid DA, all he does is throw picks!! BQ is our savior, NOT HIM!!! (he's not even from Ohio. wtf.)
