Mangini should shell out his LOVE for DA
-
I don't think its worth the 5 mill cap hit to do the "who's better" thing one more time.
I don't think they can avoid it by simply "cutting" him. It's a 5M wash either way.....a 6.5 mil cap hit or a 5 mil bonus, you're paying either way as I see it.
His fate comes down to 3 things in my mind: what another team might offer, if DA can still endure Clev, and/or if they'll spend....$XX on a potential back-up. After the 5M wash you pay regardless, you could keep him as a backup for about 1.5 Mil more.
Unless a team is screaming for him, it sounds like a bargain to me.
-
I hope we can keep them both finding a decent backup is not easy...i say trade butterfingers instead of DA...its not like BE actually tries hes a quitter at least DA gives an effort..
-
I agree with Stan. Try as best as you can to get what you can for DA, but I don't see any point in keeping him. There's alot of holes in that safety net. Do we really want a guy to come off the bench that gives us zero chance to win?

Agree 100 percent. I'm sure as soon as the GM is chosen and he gets together with the new HC, DA will be with some other team, and we will get whatever we can for him. DA would only be a distraction on the "new" Browns. We have to get rid of him.
-
DA is nothing. He is a horrible quarterback, plain and simple, hes another Tim Couch. I hope he leaves. Just look at what he does. He doesnt know how to get rid of the ball, doesnt run, doesnt do squat. Quinn? 10000 times better. Hes much quicker in the pocket, is more consistent and accurate when throwing, and GETS RID OF IT QUICKLY. Quinn is the man for the job. Screw DA. He may have my first name but thats means nothing. To hell with him.
-
How do we know they won't keep DA and ship Quinn?
We don't.
But if you weight the facts and play the odds, DA probably goes before Quinn....but if Mangini was never all that high on Quinn when he came out of college, you never know.
I doubt Quinn goes now, but there is a slim chance we might keep DA 1 more year so the new group gets a crack at him.
I find it a bit odd many around here are so eager to keep Wimp, who has started more, yet so eager to dump DA.
Just the nature of the QB position I suppose.
-
No one is gonna offer a trade if they have any hint that we are gonna release him prior to the March signing bonus. If no one offers anything and we decide we want to keep both, than no harm done.
But the dumbest thing this new regime can do is to dis DA (or either one of them) and show our cards.
No more Mr. Nice guy ... His press conference should be DA-this and DA-that, with a luke-warm mention of Brady as being a great player (as well).

That would be a bad move on Mangini's part. There is only one thing he needs to do to endear himself to the people of Cleveland for the long haul.........anoint Brady Quinn the starter.
Brady Quinn at QB is the primary obsession. Winning is secondary. As long Mangini backs Quinn fully he can go 1-15 for years and nobody will think twice about him being the right hire.
Hell that was all RAC had to do too and he would still be employed. The main reason that RAC was run was because he didn't show the love to Quinn.
If Mangini comes out and praises Anderson today then he'll already be in the doghouse with BQ Nation.

Walk with me a second......Bill, is it okay if I call you Bill?
If Lerner was the one who initiated Quinn's draft a hundred pieces suddenly fall snugly into place. Now whether that's their natural home or not is the million dollar question.
Some food for thought:
Something about that draft has never felt completely right. I realize there were only a couple of years to judge Savage by, but going back in after Quinn just didn't seem "phil" to me....whatever that means. It didn't seem like a natural move for them, something he was excited about doing later. If it actually was the plan and they somehow managed to successfully pulled it off, you'd think they'd be absolutely thrilled. It might just be my imagination but it just seemed forced to me. Lerner pulling the trigger on this one makes the most sense of anything I've heard.
After game 8 it was odd to see RAC stating DA will start on Monday morning, then just a few hours later at noon or so he proclaimed Quinn as the starter. When asked he echoed again and again "It was my decision".
After some brutal hazing against teams such as the Colts, Steelers, Ravens, Cowboys, Giants, and as Anderson was just beginning to catch and the soft part of the schedule was finally approaching he is sat down.
The timing seemed completely off, there were so many opportunities to sit him before that.....it left me bewildered. It wasn't enough to sit him before, so why now?
If it were all about winning the season, that's exactly when you leave DA playing.
Romeo reacted exactly as he would if Lerner gave the order. The coach would never throw the owner under the bus. He'd take responsibility for it. Not saying it's the only conclusion, but it fits.
RAC pulling him 2 games later after stating it was not due to the finger. It was a total contradiction after declaring him the starter. To commit to Quinn is to commit to Quinn. Quinn was not put in there to save the season. If Lerner actually did call for Quinn, putting Anderson back in would undoubtedly upset him.
Of the entire interview between Lerner and Mangini it seemed like what everyone noticed the most was essentially:
Lerner "Can you win with Quinn?"
Mangini "Yeah. I think I can."
Lerner "That's all I needed to hear."
Maybe it really was like that.
While this all probably reeks of conjecture to most, if you followed it from the start and had kicked it around a little bit as it happened there would be no denying the uncanny possibility. In fact, the more I think about it the more it has become the only thing that makes total sense sometimes.
It took a windy road to get here but at least now Lerner finally has his people in place.
Furthurmore, I agree. An '09 H.C. w/ his head way up Quinn's ass could probably go 4 & 12 again.

Once again, you show you know zero about Cleveland Browns fans, including those on this board.
The only person who would be happy losing as long as a certain QB was playing is you!

Quickly, I hear people say keeping DA around as a backup would be a bargain and he could come in and ignite the offense if it bogs down.
Problem with that theory is, DA is a notoriously slow starter. He's not the kind of guy to come in cold and immediately move the team. I also question if he can perform at all without most of the reps every week.
They need to move on and get whatever they can for him, Phillip fooked it all up not moving him last year and most of us knew it, although we tried to maintain the faith.
Lumsford, your jealousy of Queen actually makes me a little more uneasy than your crush on Derek Bear, it's extremely bizarre.
Thanks for filling us in that we only became Browns fans when Queen was drafted, I'll probably go root for Bmore or Pitt when he's gone. meanwhile, you'll be somewhere like KC or Minny telling fans there how much better DA is than their gay starter, popping in here occasionally when Queen has less than a 104 QBR. I mean, hell, he had that his first start ever and you claimed he smoked pole.
Lum has drawn the line in the sand: Derek Bear and a rating of 40 + is good, Queen and a rating of 104 (in first start with 2 days to prepare) while healthy is bad.
Gotta love a man crush that goes this deep, but it can be damaging. What happens when he's gone from football and Lums' online whackoff fests? This conjures up more inspirational song lyrics, it's been too long.
Cinderella was actually an okay hair band in the day, and this little tearjerker is one for the ages and the Lumsfreddy.
Cindirella Don't Know What You've got (Till It's Gone) Lyrics:
(Keifer)
I can't tell you baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what
you felt so long ago
I let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heart aches come and go and
All that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your
love it falls like rain
Ain't the same
I hear you calling far away
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/dun ]
Tearing through my soul
I just can't take another day
Who's to blame
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately
I've been looking for the words to say
Ooooh
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so
wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so

First, I agree that DA is gone or at least should be. New coach, new GM. You need BQ as the QB to get the fans even more excited.
Second, The "Horrible" DA threw for 3700yards, 29 tds and 17ints and won 10 games in his first year of starting at the age of 24, with a new offensive system and after having 3 starts the prior year. That is the SAME situation that BQ is in NOW. He will be the starter at age 24 with 3 starts under his belt and will have a new offensive system. So, from what I have read I should EXPECT BQ to throw for more than 3700 yards, to throw for more than 29 TDs, to throw less than 17 ints and to win more than 10 games.
I think the only goal above that BQ will beat is to throw for less than 17 ints and he will complete more than 54% of his passes. Other than that I think he will fall short on every other goal including wins.
As far as DA sucking in High School, He was the NUMBER ONE recruited QB in the entire nation the year he came out of High School and I don't think he lost any games. In college he joined an OSU team that had just started to win any games and he had to throw the ball 50 times a game with HORRIBLE receivers. You think that BE drops the ball, his receivers for most of his career with Horrible. Generally had one receiver a year that could catch (prolly part of the reason he locks on receivers). I know it was in BQs sophmore year but he and OSU did beat BQ and ND in a bowl game also.
Now, I can agree that he is not the answer in Cleveland. But he is only what 25? And He has shown flashes of greatness, even this year against the horrible defense that the giants posses. I do think that he will get a shot to start in this league again and I do think he will get it next year. Will a team trade for him? I think so, probably for a 3rd round pick. I think he will go to SF or Minn. Both would be good places for him.
As far as BQ goes. I don't know what he will do in his first year starting. But, I hope it is somewhere close to what DA did in his first year of starting at the same age and with basically the same conditions. Though BQs conditions are probably better because RAC is not here.

Some good points made CMAC. The one area you lost me was in the 2nd paragraph unless the avg opponent on our schedule will finish with 5 wins or less like the 2007 schedule that featured only 4 opponents capable of bettering 8-8.
Where I'm going with this is the goal for BQ is to win and get BETTER from experience - not worse. DA had a miserable December in 2007 and he stunk for the majority of his starts in 2008. Is that the sign of a rising star or a growing offense?
What people ALWAYS miss in this conversation was we TRADED UP to get Quinn, which was why we didn't draft first in round 1 of 2008. Don Shula didn't draft Dan Marino in te same place of round 1 we got Quinn so he could he could start another young inexperienced QB instead. What's inexcusable is that we only know DA is NOT the answer and the guy we traded Heaven and Earth to get has 3 starts to his name going into his 3rd season. Just a reminder, DA was 0-3 in his first 3 starts of 2006. The last one of those featured 4 INTs and a 7 point outcome vrs a 4 win Tampa team. Therefore, in all 3 seasons we witnessed DA getting starts - we can safely conclude that he got progressively worse toward his final start. If he's not careless with the football vrs the Colts - 6 points was enough to BEAT them. It wasn't Peyton Manning scoring on us - it was Mathis giving us his version of "The Chances Are" Cleveland loses from a careless QB.
2-3 years ago our message board had a visitor from a guy that went to the same high school and college with DA. He said he was a fan of DA because he thought there was a wide world of upside. However, throughout the proces he said DA had a frustrating and maddening tendency to be very erratic. The numbers were there that you want; BUT the timing of excellence and running cold wasn't in the right parts of the seasons from him. It was like a "this guy will break you heart warning." And the Cinderella story of 2007 had an early midnight (dude laid an unforgivable egg at Cincy near Xmas which mirrored his same type of outing vrs TB the year before). SAME guy? You bet! This never fully evolved into the Kurt Warner story that Loverboy (Lums) kept describing to us.

I don't think its worth the 5 mill cap hit to do the "who's better" thing one more time.
I don't think they can avoid it by simply "cutting" him. It's a 5M wash either way.....a 6.5 mil cap hit or a 5 mil bonus, you're paying either way as I see it.
His fate comes down to 3 things in my mind: what another team might offer, if DA can still endure Clev, and/or if they'll spend....$XX on a potential back-up. After the 5M wash you pay regardless, you could keep him as a backup for about 1.5 Mil more.
Unless a team is screaming for him, it sounds like a bargain to me.

It's a cap hit. He doesn't collect the money if he isn't on our roster. End of story.
You guys act like 5 million in cash for a guy to do nothing is nothing. Billionaires aren't stupid. Why pay someone money if you don't have to?
(PS: How many playoff games did DA lead us to? I seem to recall another team that actually made it into the playoffs, instead of watching the QB shit the bed when it was all on the line).

You think that BE drops the ball, his receivers for most of his career with Horrible. Generally had one receiver a year that could catch (prolly part of the reason he locks on receivers). I know it was in BQs sophmore year but he and OSU did beat BQ and ND in a bowl game also.
Now, I can agree that he is not the answer in Cleveland. But he is only what 25? And He has shown flashes of greatness, even this year against the horrible defense that the giants posses. I do think that he will get a shot to start in this league again and I do think he will get it next year. Will a team trade for him? I think so, probably for a 3rd round pick. I think he will go to SF or Minn. Both would be good places for him.
As far as BQ goes. I don't know what he will do in his first year starting. But, I hope it is somewhere close to what DA did in his first year of starting at the same age and with basically the same conditions. Though BQs conditions are probably better because RAC is not here.
First, I agree that DA is gone or at least should be. New coach, new GM. You need BQ as the QB to get the fans even more excited.
Second, The "Horrible" DA threw for 3700yards, 29 tds and 17ints and won 10 games in his first year of starting at the age of 24, with a new offensive system and after having 3 starts the prior year. That is the SAME situation that BQ is in NOW. He will be the starter at age 24 with 3 starts under his belt and will have a new offensive system. So, from what I have read I should EXPECT BQ to throw for more than 3700 yards, to throw for more than 29 TDs, to throw less than 17 ints and to win more than 10 games.
I think the only goal above that BQ will beat is to throw for less than 17 ints and he will complete more than 54% of his passes. Other than that I think he will fall short on every other goal including wins.

Line up the same exact schedule, same roster with no injuries and Edwards catching the ball and we'll see what happens.
I applaud your effort, you've always went way out of the way to hide your DA fetish, which is what brought you to this board in the first place. However, you will need to do better than this in the future to qualify as an actual Browns fan and not just a Derek Bear guy.
This post was eerily similar to an OSUSEV post.

This somewhat explains his Tonya Harding woodrow.
