  • You mean he's just messing around with us?

    Oh man, i hate that.

  • Folks, with Homesgren coming on I firmly believe he is going to put his reputation on the line and select DA as his QB for next season. After watching film I'm sure he sees the massive arm and pocket skills the guy possesses, not to mention his unquestioned precision and game management traits. The guy gets rid of the ball quick so the oline loves him not taking sacks, another huge plus.

    Think about it, all the guy needs to do is develop a better short game to go along with his rifle arm downfield and walla, we got ourselves a stud. Just get a good QB coach to work with him and he can become a dominant QB. This guy may have only been a 6th rounder, but he made the Pro Bowl for goodness sakes. Back in 2007 he went 10-5 as a starter and threw for 29 TD's, so you know Homes is looking at that Seahawks game that year as an example of how DA can light it up. He also had a very big Monday Night Game last year against the Giants,

    I'd stake my rep that since DA is the guy the locker room respects (since Queen got punched by team leader Shaun Smith) that Homes will demand whoever the coach is to make DA the unquestioned starter from day one of mini camp. Just my opinion, but my money is on Derek Anderson as the Browns QB for a long time to come.

    Stan,

    just sit back and enjoy the 2 week ride that usually follows these QB threads, all in the fun that comes with being a Browns fan. I think I would just like to see both of them gone next year so everyone can just get behind the team as a whole again, as that will never happen while either is still here.

    Dude......precision as one of DA's strengths? You must have been watching a different game than I was last Sunday because I saw a bunch of fastballs 5-6 feet off the mark. I wish DA was the answer, but I can not see that happening. Come on man!

    Interesting that you picked up on that.

    And posted about it.

    In fact dedicated an entire post about it.

    Because ... it's spelled "voila"

    Zombo

    --"Voila! ... you're a rabbit."

    Easy Zippy he was referring to Frank Viola, he of the biggest ass on a pitcher like, ever.

    Makes CC's look like Paris Hilton's.

    Makes me wonder why he's thinking about Frankie Viola's ass though.

  • I agree with this thread title. But only if we hire another coach, bring back Edwards, and start Lewis another year. 😳 I'll risk Riffs reputation on it!

  • There is no question whether or not he has the tools...the question is can football IQ be taught? Thats what seperates the Peyton Mannings from the Ryan Leafs.

  • i'm sorry but i don't think he can be the quarterback that other's think. one decent game against the raiders is not the standard of great quarterbacking. he wasn't in charge of this game at all because harrison had 39 carries. he wasn't rushed or hurried that much. he still had problems with the short passes. also, he never had to through in the clutch. he didn't need to run a two minute drill and never really had control of the game. i'm not saying that quinn is the guy of future, but it certainly isn't anderson. IT WAS ONE GAME!

    Come on DA had some of the best handoffs he's had all year and he didn't fumble any snaps. I just don't get why some guys are so tough on him.

    Wait a minute QweeferX, don't act like you don't know what everybody else knows:

    That BRADY QUEEN IS THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER TO PLAY FOR THE BROWNS.

    HE CHECKS DOWN LIKE NO QUARTERBACK HAS EVER CHECKED DOWN BEFORE.

    PLUS HE'S SEXY.

    And as Merlin pointed out in the other thread...the only reason Quinnie isn't in the Pro Bowl this year is because he overworked his biceps and they aren't as smooth and striated and baby-oiled as they once were.

    *Merlin's gonna keep an eye on those guns for the group, as it is clearly vital to the future of the franchise, and at the moment the only thing standing between the Browns and multiple Super Bowls.

    Finally comes out !

    closet Quinn fag

  • I'm not gonna bash you I'm going to agree...................kinda.

    If you had to pick one of these guys to coach up it would hands-down be Derek Andersuck. Because Quinn's flaws come from an absolute lack of essential god-given QB skills that cannot be coached into a player. DA at least has the tools to play in the league. Problem is, we're not sure he can be coached up anymore at this point. However, if the running game continues to blossom, DA would benefit more so than Quinn from it. DA does have WAAAY more upside than Quinn and not too many football minds can argue against that. And in 2007 when Jamal was a legitimate running threat, this offense flourished with the heavy use of the play-action pass. Its not too far fetched of an idea at all. Although, will either of these guys be here next year? Probably not. And I cannot imagine any Brown's fan would care very much.

    Could Holmgren's "hard decisions" include trading the hometown hero that he does not seem to be enamoured with?

    The key isn't whether he's accurate or has precision or not.

    They key is, "When". Not very often by all accounts.

    You can't teach consistency. That's a psychological block.
