  • This all relies on what Holmgren and Mangini think. If they want DA on the roster in some respect, the 2 mil might not bother them, more likely you'll see a new contract dropping this years price tag with more for DA IF they decide to keep him after that.

    Most of the people here can't keep in mind that this team is essentially building from the ground up. I didn't expect them to win their last 4 games, but I expected better play the last quarter of the season than any time of the season. QB was the last of their worries this season, and may be the last of their worries next season... Holmgren even said so a week or so ago, the QB's gonna look bad if the line can't block and the receivers can't catch.... He pretty much described the Browns' QB situation the last year or two.

    I still think he keeps one QB, probably DA.

  • I don't know. If the Roster bonus is ONLY 2 million dollars, (Yea, more $ than any of us have, but still peanuts in the NFL Monopoly money game) and if they at all would expect DA to compete even for a backup slot, the 2 mill doesn't seem to be a lot in the scheme of things for a "potential" decent backup QB. DA was the QB for a couple of games they won at the end of the season, wasn't he?

    And to go along those lines....if some deal could be worked out, DA is more attractive to a team if they don't have to pay the bonus.

    A bonus paid DA and a pick might be enough to get Kolb or some other QB, or some other deal.

    That is why i said i think there are variables at play that don't make it as easy as simply releasing DA today.

    Why hold him now if you know he's worthless, sucks, and everything else??

    Today on espn chris mortensen was talking about the qb situation and how many teams have expressed interest in all 3 quarterbacks. The only real specifics he gave out of all of the teams was that the rams had expressed a lot of interest in Vick and that the browns and heckert had indeed enquired about and showed some serious interest in kevin kolb. He didnt really go into any kind of detail but he did in fact say these things about the rams and browns. Also he said that he believes andy reid is very serious about mcnabb returning to philly next year.

    i hope mcnabb goes back to philly. let him stay there. great qb, but another big game choker i.e. tony romo. at least kolb hasn't been tainted yet in philly. BUT (and this is only my opinion) that holmgren will push for DA to stay and opt to get rid of quinn. remember holmgren was in the northwest while anderson played at oregon state. probably took in a couple of games.

    I wonder if Heckert is thinking of giving up a few of our 11 picks for Kolb.

    If we were to acquire Kevin Kolb would all of the Quinn Fags become Kolb Smokers?

    Talk about untested QBs ... Kolb has a 68.9 rating in 130 attempts ... and doesn't appear to be mobile at all with 21 carries for -1 yards.

    He and Quinn came out of the same draft, but Quinnn was drafted higher, has more experience and more mobility.

    Where does Kolb Mania come from other than we have a Philly GM? The guy has had one good game and it came against the venerable Kansas City defense.

    Let's pry McNabb loose and draft a guy.

    man, people get all upset at the mention of anything not interesting to them. nobody's smoking kolb (i know i ain't). you'd rather have the old guy come in than someone that will be around for 5 or 6 years? it's not like he's the only thing this team is missing, so basically we're still in the rebuilding stage. who wants to go from a team that's a couple of wins away from the super bowl to a team that's 2 or 3 years away? the whole idea of having to pick sides: quinn or anderson, is flippin' gay in my book. f 'em all, big and small!

  • I believe McNabb is the most over-rated player in the league. With that said, he is still an instant upgrade with 3-6 years left in him. At the least, he holds it down and allows us to take our time with a young QB. Best case scenerio, we get 6 all-pro years out of him here in Cleveland. If we are making a push for McNabb, then DA is gone. You don't want that much money in a backup. Unless Holmgren's talk with Brady was about him being a backup and Brady doesn't want to accept that and wants out, then Brady will be gone.

    Obviously he is going to have to give up something.....so, what would it be?

    I doubt the first rounder.

    The 2nd rounder....maybe.....but doubt that as well though Philly will push for that for a while.

    DA seems to be the guy on the butcher block around here, so we will use him rather than Brady, though someone mentioned Holmgren may like DA better, and I can see that....he has had some postive comments about DA....but anyway.

    We keep DA and pay his roster bonus....then trade him and our best 3rd rounder to Philly for Kolb......not sure where the picks might be, but I could also see swapping positions with Philly in the 3rd if our second 3rd rounder is better than Phillies 3rd rounder....if not, we may have to come off a 5th rounder or two.

    Kolb isn't going to come cheaply.

    I wouldn't give him away, so I don't expect Philly will either.

  • Please God you have giving us so little. All we have is this crap as snow to look at, the least you can do is get DA and his no talent twin brother Quinn out of this town and bring us a future hall of fame quarterback.

    Is it so much to ask?

  • DA is gone. Quinn will stay. Possible signing of a veteran QB to "school" Quinn for a year. Bank it.

    You could be right. And I wouldn't be all that upset about it...as long as we don't have another DA/BQ QB contest again.

    Every year there are posters on the board saying... this is Quinn's team... DA is gone... they've been wrong for three years now. Now it appears the Browns will spend big $ to bring in someone to teach BQ how to be a QB?

    The definiteness some posters here use gives me a chuckle. Anything could happen.
