DA has been cut!!!!
-
Yes DA will no longer be the whipping boy for the Cleveland fan base...He will end up in Arizona playing for a team that will no doubt give him better options on the offensive side of the ball. Weapons, Weapons, and more Weapons...
Fitz, Breston, good backs and a great O-Line....I think he'll have no problem getting the starting gig out there, and will get a real chance to be successful with an abundence of talent on his team...
Great Weather TOO....NICE!!!!!

You're forgetting the part about actually throwing a short pass that anyone can catch.

I'm not crying over DA being dropped, but that leaves us with a career backup QB and Captain Checkdown. There is no way Holmgren is done with the QB position at this point.

I am pleased. I was LIVID when Savage signed DA when he filed for Free Agency after 2007 as his value then was at a peak. We would have gotten a 1st & 3rd pick, but NOOOOOO Howdy Doody/Opie just had to sign him!
Now, that nightmare is over & we can start fresh at the QB position. We just have to wait & see what happens, but I am another who thinks the acquisition of another QB is not yet final.........We'll see.

quinn is a quiff and a queen.
nfl live just had both tory holt and merrill hodge say how anderson will do fine somewhere else and probably regain his 07 status. they basically said dropped passes and poor pass protection led to his benching. we better be drafting a qb now, cuz all we've got left is a fidget and a midget.
Nfl live just lost major credibility with that comment. So now the WRs throw interceptions!
Well unless they meant the 2nd half of 07.Nfl live just lost major credibility with that comment. So now the WRs throw interceptions!
Well unless they meant the 2nd half of 07.No doubt. DA was good in '07, but let's not deify the guy. He still had plenty of substandard games that season. Oakland, Arizona, and the second Cincy game come to mind.
The fact remains that DA is just a tremendously inaccurate passer who has a tendency to try and force the issue with a lot of his downfield throws. He will get a look from a lot of teams and sign with one rather quickly, but he's never going to match the numbers he had in '07.
I don't get all the over-the-top Quinn hating on here, either. It's hard to look good with little experience and receivers that aren't complete NFL players. Massaquoi and Robiskie were rookies, Stuckey came over mid-season, and we all know how bad the TE position was. Not to mention he had a rookie OC. It's really too bad he got hurt in KC, because against Detroit and San Diego he had some good showings. After that, the Browns' running game just dominated, allowing the offense to thrive on the ground.
At worst, his grade is an incomplete. Barring any other major changes, he's the starter next year.
Wallace will be used as part of our WildDawg package with Cribbs.
...searching for Nev Chandler..."5,4,3,2,1, Touchdown Browns!! -
Glad to see this regime make a quick a decisive move in regards to DA. The best thing for him AND the Browns is to move forward.
I wonder where DA will end up? Oakland? Denver?

If DA goes to Arizona, look for another Pro Bowl invite real fast. You forgot to mention the golf courses... DA might actually hang around in the offseason.

while i noticed a lot of absolutes in your post, what i wanted to respond to were your examples of DA's substandard games. and i guess by some definitions they were. it's a slippery slope and i'm not trying to defend the guy as much as trying to keep it honest, well from my perspective at least.
as i remember the Oakland game it was a nail-biter. on back to back kicks (redo via T/O called) as time expired Dawson's second kick was miraculously blocked, costing the Browns the win...i believe they would have won because first off 40 yards is a chip shot for Dawson. secondly since he split the uprights with authority on the first kick as they called the time out we have every reason to believe he'd make the second as well, successful snap/hold willing.
didn't seem like DA cost us anything in that game to me.
this is grasping at straws but Arizona was a good enough team to lose to the cheats in the Superbowl the following year.
had Kellen Winslow gotten his inside leg down we'd have won that game. when DA made that throw i thought no friggin way, and then K2 caught it and promptly got pushed out of bounds. with the outside foot planted just inbounds, i've never been able to figure out why Kellen chose to lift his inside leg and touch his foot to his ass as he secured the ball when he simply could have put his foot on the ground and won the game. too much happening at once while being pushed i guess. still a rookie mistake that cost the game imo.
Chud's desire not to run in 50 mph wind gusts in Cincy2 EVEN AFTER seeing the Bengals adjust and shut down their passing game makes a person wonder what he was thinking about that day. it's certainly added a few pages to this board.
this is not a free pass by any means but a gunslinger trying to carry his team from behind can only go two ways. and well, it didn't go one way.
these losses stung because they were winnable and winning any one of them would have guaranteed us a playoff berth>>>for the first time in a very long time. are you sure we don't resent Derek just a little bit more due to this?
in my mind, he almost got us there. not the other way around.
and what would a farewell DA thread be without one more parting Quinn jab for the road? i think Horseballs would have wanted it that way.
don't worry i'll go easy, "because against Detroit and San Diego he had some good showings".
later Derek. you were fun to root for.
now who's the next underdog and/or patsy?
