Holmgren dodges Quinn question, again
-
When asked what he thought after watching the film on Quinn, Holmgren answered by talking about his injury instead of any type of analysis. Although did mention that he does know QBs. I still strongly believe his "tough decision" is trading Quinn. What do you all think of his reluctance to comment on Quinn? Especially when he has no problem at least complimenting Cribbs, Harrison, and fan favorite, DA.

I always thought that Quinn was the fan favorite, what have I been missing?

I assume you're being sarcastic about DA. Holmgren has at least until the draft to evaluate Quinn, and like keeping EM, he's not about to make snap decisions.
Guaranteed: one or the other qb will be gone- if you think it's Quinn, mucho bueno. IMHO it's DA that's gonna get the heave-ho, and it's gone far beyond the point of keeping on beating a very dead horse.

How would you know they sucked then?
How many times have you ever heard a coach say something like " we just don't stand much of a chance when we have to play this guy"??
You usually can tell what is felt by what isn't said, but as others noted, it may simply be a lack of information at this point to make any real comments.
I am just not sure MH is a guy who lacks information.
QB is a fairly key position. With all that happened with this team concerning the QB position, I find if hard to believe has hasn't spent at least a few hours watching some tape to at least begin to get a idea of what he faces at that critical position.

Holmgren and the new GM both stressed that passing is the way to win in the NFL. With that in mind I find it hard to believe that Quinn will be the starter. I have a feeling we will either obtain a QB thru free agency, a trade, or through the draft. Both Quinn and Anderson have shown they are not in our future.

I was being sarcastic about DA. There should be punctuation for sarcasm, maybe reverse quotations?

I agree with you but I just shed a tear for Holmgren. Can you imagine having to watch a few hours of film on these guys? And its your job to fix it?

You're probably right, Larry. However, if DA leaves this doesn't mean that BQ lines up behind Center on opening day 2010.

I notice he didn't dodge the question about Derek Anderson. Oh wait, he never mentioned Derek Anderson.

I always thought that Quinn was the fan favorite, what have I been missing?

You're not missing anything.
i've been following the Browns since Ernie Green gave up his body to block for Jim Brown, and this QB situation is the weirdest thing i can remember. Never can i recall a situation where the coaches and the teammates favor a certain player that the fans despise, while the competing player is a fan favorite that the coaches and team seem indifferent on. It is bizarre.
If Quinn was that good, it would be a no-brainer to annoint him. If DA was that bad, it would be a no-brainer to cut him. That predicament has been around for a couple seasons now.

Since when is it predetermined that DA is favored by teammates and coaches?
Seems to me that has been propagated by a few members on this board and is now being construed as fact.
Can someone supply evidence of this supposed fact?

The coach part is obvious. If they favored Quinn, they would have annointed him (or at least stuck with him at the beginning of the season). The teammate part is less scientific and based on antecdotal evidence.

You said it all right there. You'll be challenged, don't take the bait. You'll be talking to a wall and eventually, someone will resort to name calling.

You seem to forget that DA was pulled after 5 1/2 games himself, and got his job back only because BQ got put on IR. The coaches pulled the plug on both QB's, I think it's kind of hard to guess which one is the favorite.
My guess is that their favorite would be the guy that wins games, whoever that may be.
