  • Wish I was as optimistic. We've seen it all before. At least I won't have to hear all that Quinn/ Anderson static anymore. So there's that.

  • I was hopeful about Quinn's development, but Mike Holmgren has a history of successfully developing and evaluating QBs. If he thought Quinn wasn't worth the time, then he probably wasn't.

    Just because he was at one time a first round draft pick doesn't mean he still has that value today. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and move on instead of investing more time into something that will most likely fail.

    Holmgren said in yesterday's press conference he didn't have a chance to fairly evaluate Quinn...but he obviously trusts his personnel like Haskell and his scouts to make that recommendation correctly for him.

    i did not however, like the way he fumbled some key points, like not knowing that Delhomme's contract was for two years, or how tall Seneca Wallace and Drew Brees are specifically (he had an idea but you could tell he was bs'ing), or that Brett Favre isn't 45, the way they passed topics back and forth....

    i know all those things so maybe i'm nitpicking but the jovial old man coach-speak is annoying when it's disorganized and unprepared.

    as the President of the organization he still could've quickly found out the basic details on Delhomme's contract before walking into a press conference about it.

    I think your nitpicking, that man has bigger fish to fry. He is looking at the big picture.

    Edit: or he could be doing some of that on purpose before the draft. He is acting like there is a lot up in the air, but you bet your ass most of that is figured out and he doesn't want to tip his hand.

  • As you know...I'm always In. I think we're headed into the right direction. A team that can kick as on the front lines and hopefully score a few.

    Go Browns!

    AND HERE i AM ALL OPTIMISTIC

    I MUST BE TROLL SCROUNGE BUG WITH NO USEFUL VALUE

    SEE YA'ALL AT SOME GAMES NEXT YEAR...................TOO COOL

  • This is what had to happen. We have had a negative culture in C-town ever since it was clear that Couch sucked and people wanted to see someone else....and it has carried on ever since.

    This is the real change....a chance that is going to produce results....I think as early as next season.

    Why not 9-10 wins??

    We may not get that many, but I think we at least have a chance.

    It's going to be fun watching the draft as we move up and down seeking the next great Cleveland Browns players.

    I doubt it got very dusty with all that Steeler stuff on top of it.

    Zombo

    You know what I have loved both teams all my football life for different reasons. I am now real happy about the last nine months is Brownstown. The Steelers are what they the best franchise in football. Piss on winning if you are stupid. Before that all the world was BROWNSTOWN........WHINING ABOUT WHO i LIKE IS STUPID................

    BUT BEING A WINNER AGAIN IS SUPREME

    THIS IS THE BEST PLACE THE BROWNS HAVE BEEN IN A LONG TIME

    you've always gotta be proud dude, even in the bad years

  • In the bad Cleveland years, Rich just cheers for the Steelers.

  • I have to give you bigtime credit, Rich !

    Rich has always been a good fan.....sometimes parents need to practice tough love...sometimes fans need to do the same

  • a fire sale on our 1st rounders is indicative of how bad we've drafted for the past 10 years.

    but lets not assume these guys will continue the norm....everyone up till now never had success, or was too young to have the opportunity.

  • Im Backkkkk
