Holmgren wants QB named before training camp
-
Personally, I think Holmgren will have a LOT of input on the QB decision, and given his expertise & experience, that's a very GOOD thing. His expertise with QBs & the solid management team being assembled leaves me in the rare position (since 1999) of trusting whatever decision is made. It will be fun to see what happens, & we can all speculate in the meantime, although our speculation will certainly not influence the Team's decision (also a good thing).

Holmgren said he really liked what he saw from Derek in 2007, hasn't said anything good bout Quinn -- not one thing.

You people that think DA is gonna be anywhere near the Browns training camp next season wanna share what you're smokin?

If DA has any once of trade ability in him, it would be amazing. He did well one year, and he was great. It just seems like he lost total confidence with himself. BQ showed promise this year and he also looked downright terrible. If you all remember correctly we had like 4 or 5 games where there were at least 10 or more dropped passes. That is neither QBs fault. Also if you noticed towards the end of the year, guys were catching and blocking like they are paid to do, and we were winning. Quinn managed the game pretty well down the stretch. I think he prepares to hard for game day, kinda like when you were in schoo and you studied till you brain fried and then on the big test day, you failed miserably. Its so hard to put judgement on who should be the starter. Each one brings his own edge. If DA had confidence like he had against the NY Giants last year, we would average 40 points a game. Brady is still getting used to the nfl speed and is progressing ok, when he was is the no huddle last year, he looked like a whole different player. Im glad there wont be the qb battle in camp this year, but I do think DA will be released and BQ will probably get traded to the Bronco's for like a 3rd or 4th rounder. Then he will tear us a new one when we play him. Cant wait to see Cribbs run back a td on sunday.

I'm smokin' reality. The so called expert fans have been proclaiming DA gone each year since the end of the '07 season. They've been absolutely wrong so far.
I'm not so sure either of the guys will be here come training camp, but if it's a choice between DA and BQ, I'd be hard pressed to dump a QB that has actually shown something in favor of one that hasn't. I'm auew the coaches, GM and Holmgren are going to have a LOT of discussions in the upcoming weeks about the upsides and downsides of both of these kids and make a decision as to whether they're going to stick with one of them.

I seriously can't believe people on this site think that the Browns would keep that clown DA with a 42 QB rating. Quinn played on this same putrid joke team and had a better rating than Mark Sanchez. Why do people think Quinn sucks so bad yet praise Sanchez? Quinn has less career starts than Sanchez as well. If the Browns keep anyone it will be Quinn. Believe it or not, Quinn's number have improved each year, while DA's have regressed. If you don't believe me go check.
-
For the record I think neither is going to be starter. I'm sick of the BQ vs DA. Lets get new blood.

My money says if it's between DA and BQ, it will be BQ.

I'm with you on that, I think its going to be BQ and DA is gone. It seems like a lot of people forget even though the quarterback is the cornerstone of the offense, hes doesn't exist in a vacuum. It takes a village to raise a good qb
I could be mistaken but Joe Montana didn't have an amazing throwing arm, but he was smart and accurate, and he had a good supporting cast. Whats to say BQ couldn't develop into a good QB given the right environment, which is presumably being set by Holmgren? -

That's exactly why it's really up in the air as to which of these two guys the team might keep. DA did quite well when the rest of the team wasn't in turmoil. Neither of them did well this last two years, and there were lots of problems with the entire team during that time.

yup no doubt, there was A LOT of negative karma last season.....oc was trying to implant an offense using qb's with shaken confidence....each week was a newer version of offensive ineptitude.....not exactly a good environment to groom a qb who can help you win games......offensive execution should be better with more stable team atmosphere this year.....both qb's need to watch film of the late, great Johnny Unitas....he is the poster boy for qualities neither bq or da has shown to date..
POISE, POISE, POISE......this seperates the great's from the mediocre and imo non of the Brown's qb's has the mojo to make it happen......flush em both and let's start anew
