  • I was listening to NFL on Sirius and Gil Brandt reported that the browns actually offered DA not BQ. Take it for what you want just reporting what I heard on the radio.

  • Not sure why there is a major knock on Campbell - I think he's a decent, serviceable starting QB. With the Hogs almost in my back yard, I am bombarded with info.

    He's essentially starting his 2nd season. Here's why:

    1. He's had Daniel Snyder draft a QB on the 1st day of the draft since he's been there.

    2. Joe "Old as the Sun" Gibbs completely at a loss of how to manage a modern NFL game (think RAC but only if he had been our coach 20 years ago and won 3 SB's for us).

    3. He's had 3 different OC's in the 4 years he's been in WAS.

    4. He had to sit & try to "learn" the position behind Tim "the other" Hasselbeck & allow all 31 NFL teams prove to Gibbs that Patrick Rams-me shouldn't be in the league - twice.

    5. He was injured for the 2nd half of one season (2007 I think) & later had to compete with Todd "The Natural" Collins at the starting job all over again. A coinflip, perhaps?

    6. His #1 receiver might be 5'-8" Maybe. The rest? Has-been's and never-were's.

    I'd take Campbell over Drive Assassin anyday. But for Quinn? Nope. Maybe Campbell, London Fletcher & a day 2 pick.

    Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. -Don Shula

    Whats the source for anything in this thread were talking about.

    It was and article on Rotoworld and I thought Id share it with the forum. Take it as you want it I dont beleive it either

    mz the pussy reacts to all that garbage like it was the Gospel.

    Maybe someone should tell him that when another GM calls you usually listen, are congenial, don't burn any bridges, but say sorry but we are looking to aquire picks and not trade them away. But, if you want Anderson after you make your trade, maybe we can work something out.

    Hell, Mangini said we weren't involved in any part of the transaction, so, since Quinn is still here I would tend to believe Mangini. If he wanted to trade Quinn, Denver wanted him and they had the picks to make it happen, so Quinn would have been gone. That tells me Mangini doesn't want to move Quinn.

    And move Quinn and get Campbell...........................LOL

    And you label everything bullshit until it's proven to be accurate; the Rogers situation was a good example of that.

    Based on what the folks at the OBR are saying, it looks like the truth may be somewhere in the middle here. The Browns were listening to offers for Quinn, but they weren't actively shopping him. Which jives with almost everything else we've heard this offseason: that Mangini's not entirely sold on Quinn and is willing to part with him for the right price.

    As for the criticism that we don't have any local reports....are you surprised? Mangini's only going to give the media info when it serves his purposes, whereas the Washington front office is notoriously leaky. Last year, there was a leak that they were planning on using a bunch of early picks on receivers - they took two WR's and one TE with their top three picks. This year, a report surfaced that they're desperately looking for an offensive tackle.

    So it's not a surprise that reports from the broken trade tackles would come out of Washington, not Cleveland. And from what I can tell, the Browns appear to have at least tentatively been engaged in trade talks that would have involved Quinn.

  • I'm not saying I know exactly what happened, Ytown. But to live in denial and dis every report because it hurts your ego isn't healthy.

    Also, JADBF, I love how we get labled "chicken littles" from reacting to news sources by a dude who goes on coachspeak? Waiting for Mangini to say something?? Too funny...

  • Read my posts if you want to react to them, JADBF. Didn't say you overreacted, just claimed you were falling for coachspeak.

    So learn to write more clearly.

    Relax already. Seems you can't handle a simple difference in opinion.

    Anyway, it really isn't my fault you can't follow, and I refuse to dumb myself, or the rest of this place, down for you if you can't seem to follow what's going on. Sorry, man.

    I do believe you took exception to something I said first my dear boy.

    🙄

    I started the thread, you reacted in it.

  • Jesus. Since you need to get the last word, just quote this and do your best.

  • Here's another report:

    NFL sources said the Bears were among the most aggressive teams in pursuit of Cutler, but they were hardly alone. Washington, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Cleveland and the New York Jets all tried to seal a deal. The Browns might have won the sweepstakes had Cutler's agent, Bus Cook, not also represented Brett Favre. The longtime Packers star didn't mesh last year with Jets coach Eric Mangini, who was fired and landed in Cleveland.

    Mangini reportedly was willing to give up Brady Quinn in a deal for Cutler. Quinn, who played for former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis at Notre Dame, might have been a good fit in McDaniels' system. But Cook made it clear when talks began that Cutler wanted no part of Mangini, and fears that he wouldn't report to the Browns shut down that deal.

    A recent Pluto article referenced college completion % as it correlates to NFL success. 60% or higher greatly improved a QB's chances.

    I recently read another article on the subject of Quinn...

    I believe it was titled, BROWNS TRIED TO SHIP QUINN'S ASS STRAIGHT OUTTA TOWN

    did you happen to catch that article?

    Well, looks like NO QB thread here can exist without the requisite Browns Board Bullshit.
