"Disappointed."
Pretty bold reporting, Tony.

Yeah kind of like how Cutler was "disappointed" that Shanahan was let go.

You all know where this train is headed...

Unlike most players bq is a browns fan...its his dream to play for the browns so yeah he would be disappointed he has been nothing but jerked around by the browns since he got here so i expect he will ask for a trade which is exactly what mangini wants...but i can already assume mankoks not going to be around as long as bq has been with the browns...im starting to think mangini is a real jerk and not a very talented one at that...

What you want to bet that IF BQ ever ends up with a different team, this year or some year down the line, he'll say he's always wanted or hoped he's end up there, and that if he does there'll be message board posters saying Quinn always wanted to play there?

Just a few weeks ago there was a direct quote from Quinn that said trade talk is all part of the NFL....But now Grossi is trying to sell everyone that "He's diappointed".....I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of Grossi's mouth.

Why shouldn't he be?

If anyone of us had NFL talent, and our boyhood team moved up in the draft to take us, only to be traded after not even being given a chance? I'd be a little more than "dissappointed".

Brady gets it though. He'll be fine. He grew up with tough parents who took no excuses, followed by the pressure of being the ND QB and Weis' New Jersey approach.

The first home game when Quinn is announced as the QB and the crowd goes bonkers, it'll all be forgotten.

Or he gets traded, has a chip on his shoulder and shows the Browns they screwed up by having a Pro Bowl season...Ouch.

Mangini said today to the media that he expects both Anderson and Quinn to be in Cleveland competing for the starting QB job when camp opens.

Let's see how Mary Kay Grossi spins that.

People just need to relax. BQ is not mad, he has already said this is a business. He knows he isn't going anywhere. He will be the starter week 1.

People don't believe everything you hear.

I would be a bit worried if he was not a little unhappy, but there is a difference between unhappy and disgruntled.

Would anyone here not be worried if he was happy about the rumors?

I guess I wouldn't expect him to be happy....But at the same time I would expect him to have a professional attitude about it. Meaning, "where ever I go I'll give all I have."

This may seem like a minor point but the fact that he is single and wouldn't have to uproot a family to move to another city makes it that much easier for him to make any needed adjustment. I just can't see him being too upset over it.

Can we quote you on that later?

Oh yeah. What do you think the browns will do at the QB?

Unlike some here, I don't claim to know. Lots of possibilities. Quinn, Anderson, or some vet not currently on the roster are all quite possible.

Late to the party here as usual....but I think you all are reading too much into that comment and the way it was written.
I read it this way.

"Brady Quinn says he is disapointed in all the trade rumors"

That's not saying he's disapointed that the Browns are trying to trade him. I read him as saying he's disapointed that all these trade rumors are being perpetrated by the media when they just arent true.

And ofcourse the media wouldn't interpret his comment that way, because that would mean he's disapointed in the shody journalism they are practicing these days.

Its not even journalism anymore. All they are practicing these days is creative writing.

well that and blatant plagersim.
how many stories have you seen so far by Mary kay or someone else, quoting Lombardi? who is just another writer writing about the rumors he has heard...

Yep...that would require they create their own work, and why do that when you can get paid to just reprint someone else's? I love how they aren't getting anything from ManKok and its pissing them off. lol

Read the entire article....That is not at all what Grossi meant or what is being portrayed acoording to Grossi himself. You have to click on the link and read it all.....It's not about Quinn being disappointed in the journalism. Again, that is according to Grossi.

The article said Quinn is disappointed that the front office is not being up front with him.....So that means it's not his view of the media.

OconRecon

They're trying to keep up with bloggers and on-line media.

Newspapers are dying, or at minimum moving to a greatly reduced role in our society, and this is the kind of stuff the old-line print media is doing to get some attention. 10 years from now, bloggers and on-line print media types will be nearly indistinguishable.

That and it's off season, so there's not much else for football fans to talk about.

I read the entire article and many other articles. And I've yet to read one actual quote from Brady saying anything like that. Again, I think you're missing the point that a lot of these things these writers write is thier interpretation of something they heard from someone else about what someone said.

No I'm not missing the point.....Your exact quote was that we were misunderstanding what the article was saying....As though Quinn's disppointment in the rumors were actually his disappointment in the media.....But the very next line in the article completely dispells your theory by saying he is disappointed with the front office!! lol!! How can that be missing the point?!!

I was replying directly to you post and directly to what you wrote. There was no "Point" to misunderstand.

That would be an abomination in my heart, that's how much I bleed for the Browns, and while he knows it's a business on some level Brady does feel that way.

Oh did you hear him say that when you were hiding out in his backyard bushes?

You actually think he's disappointed because he loves Cleveland so much?

You don't know jack shit about what he thinks.

But if you want a little insight about what's probably happening, see: Cutler, Jay; 2009.

And by all indications, including the holdout, for BQ it's about the $$$, and that 11 million dollar incentive bonus that he can't get until somebody names him a starter.
