    I think this year is an even weaker year for QBs, but then, last year didn't seem all that great either and two of those guys turned in nice rookie seasons. Both of those guys were seniors, though, weren't they, and both had more starting experience than Sanchez.

    I'm not wild about Stafford either, but I think judging that Sanchez is worthy of a first round pick based on his limited resume is worse than throwing Quinn away because you only have 3 starting games. Quinn rates as a much higher first round talent than Sanchez, IMO.

    If we're going to get a QB, then next year is the year to do it.

    I think this is posturing - I'll bet there is no intention of drafting Sanchez. I could see us sticking with one or the other of these guys (or splitting time with them) this year, and then drafting one of the top guys next year if Maningi is happy with either. Bradford or McCoy would fit in nicely with what Mangini is supposed to like in a QB.

    The only thing Mark Sanchez is good for is giving the whole USC football team Dirty Sanchez's - He will be garbage like a Trent Green or a David Carr - Why not go after Crabtree, Orakpo. If we take a QB for our first round pick I will "officially put out a hit on Mangina Kockfaceunitus" - The dolphins turned thier team around in 1 year so can we..... This has to eventually come to an end, we are not the Detroit Lions, lets make shit happen - SOOOO do this play Quinn period - draft Crabtree - trade DA for a second rounder grab Shonn Greene or Wells pick up a LB in the Second round and grab Robiskie in the 3rd or 4th - lets actually try to bring back the cardiac kids by not giving us cardiac arrest DAMMNNNN!!!

    They're gonna trade Queen, draft Sanchez, and let him sit behind Anderson for a couple years.

    Lums if anything..it would be trade Quinn because they can get good picks for him, Draft sanchez and DA would be Sanchez's backup so he can learn from the college kid. hahhahahhahahhaha

    We've painfully found out he's incapable of learning anything except that LUMMY luvs him.

    Teams don't generally take players they have zero need for in the 1st round.

    Yeah no shit. They had no need for BQ. Comprende?

    If your excuse is that there was a bunch of better QBs on all the other teams then why would you even push this theory?

    Um yes they did. They had Frye who had showed only a little promise as a 2nd rounder and DA who they picked up off the waiver wire (and was aweful in his 2006 starts). CLE had a need a QB and one fell in the draft for a good price.

    Loverboy,

    You must have made an adorable homecoming Princess for DA. I gotta better idea if we keep Dumb Ass starting at QB. We're gonna make you sit downwind of him the entire time so you can describe how bad he stinks. The Cardiac Kids sounds so much better than Dr Kevorkian's Passing Clinic. Oh well, keep telling us how wonderful you think 4 win seasons are.

  • Having Sanchez in for a workout might be just to prompt a trade down in the first with someone who wants him.

    However, if they also bring in another QB for a workout... then what?

    Presently on the Browns' own website, some info about Nate Davis of Ball State.

    If they bring him or another QB in for a workout then something might be up.

    They're bringing in Hoyer also. They have to have someone after they dump DA.

  • Surely this means the plan is to unload one of our QB's as with Dorsey gone, we need to look who will back up the starter. All makes sense.

    Unfortunately for Dorsey, when the winds prevented his passes from crossing the line of scrimmage, he was (to coin a phrase) "Gone with the Wind." When it gets so bad you're missing Todd Philcox and Paul McDonald, HELP!!!!

  • No why would we waste our time bringing in a 1st round QB ? This makes no sense at all.

    The two top picks in this years draft at the moment are Sanchez and Chris Wells..........since we have no offense how can yu lose picking either?

    While I think Wells will be productive in the NFL and has 1st round value, I am far from sold on Sanchez. Even his own HC doesn't think he is NFL ready. Dude has one year starting at college. That is far from a recipe for success at the NFL level.

  • I think it's both smokescreen and purposeful. I think that they really want the teams behind them considering it. On the other hand if McDaniels shoots his draft load over Quinn, you need to know what the QBs in this draft can offer and if you take one THAT high...you definitely want to have done your homework. In Camp Mangini, EVERYTHING has a purpose.

    If Sanchez gets to sit for 3 years...... But I doubt that will happen.

    Don't you think PC may had some personal motivation with his comments?

    I don't like the guy and don't trust him to have his players well being at heart. Maybe I'm all washed up here, but I truly think he was motivated to try and keep Sanchez for his own personal gain. The 2009 USC team lost a lot on Defense and has almost everything back on offense. That offense was going to be something special. Sanchez was going to be a huge part of that team's run at a NC.

    They'll be going into Ohio stadium with only 1 game under their belt and with a lot of new defensive personel and now a new Qb in Mustain or Redshirt Soph Aaron Corp.

    I think PC took a HUGE hit in losing Sanchez and he knew it.

    This is an interesting point that I hadn't even considered. Even if we have no intentions of trading either QB, there is still the possibility that we get an offer which we just could not turn down....and we'd better have all of our bases covered in that situation.

    And as far as Pete Carroll(whose last name is a girl's name) goes, much like Oldcrow I don't take the fact that he thought Sanchez should stay to mean anything other than that he's trying to look out for his own (U$C's) best interests - not Sanchez's.

    That's a good way to put it. Camp Mangini always has as many bases covered as possible. If you look at the Jets victories last year at New England and Tennessee, you simply don't accomplish that without great attention to detail. For some people, it may seem too much but I personally don't think so.

    I agree with you about Pete Carroll. I have stopped listening to college coaches for this very purpose. I was friends with a guy who was an All-American in baseball and what came out of the coach's mouth and reality were two different things. We rely too much on "spin-able" sound bites. I don't trust 'em any further than I can throw 'em.

    Wells reminds me so much of Keith Byers when he came out. He has the potential to be one of the great RBs in the NFL and also the potential to be a injury prone Keith Byers who finished his career as a TE.

    I believe the plan is to try to keep the value of Anderson up until the draft and also let teams Like San Fran, TB, Jax and even the Jets think that they can't just sit back and hope Sanchez will fall to them.

    You don't have a college draft guy as a GM anymore, you have a pro personnel guy who knows what other teams needs are.

  • We are playing all the realistic angles and bluffs....exactly what we hope they would do.

    The odds aren't good we would take Sanchez, but if things twist various ways, it isn't out of the question. It also gets people thinking about moving up.

    That high in the draft, it is easier for teams to figure out who teams won't be drafting then who they will. If some team is interested in Sanchez they now have to wonder if we would take the guy.... it gets them thinking they might have to get to our spot or above.
