poor riff, you're just still "flabbergasted" that NFL coaches don't think shit of your boy when you got a permanent hard on for him.

riffs about to lay down another QB evaluation. don't forget to mention "local boy" in it.

hey cross your fingers and hope BQ doesn't get a hang nail today. According to shep it'd be the only thing keeping him from greatness.

Sorry bud, us Ohio boys know a scattershot QB when we see 'em.

Apparently in Ken Kesey country that is not an option. Sasquatch laughs at your lack of football acumen and Tonya Harding thinks you're overly emotional and reactionary.

Sadly, I don't think any of us really know what any NFL brass thinks of either QB. Last year there seemed to be allot of interest in DA, with rumors of not only a first round pick being extended but in a round about way the NUMBER ONE pick being offered. There was a few rumors of first round and third round picks being offered and even other rumors of multiple picks being offered. Are any of these rumors true? I don't know. Just like I don't know if the rumors are true of first round picks being offered for BQ this year.

But, no matter what rumors are true and what rumors are not it does not really mean anything. I THINK the coaches just want to get these guys in camp and see for themselves who they THINK will be the best fit and give the Browns the best chance to win. I don't know what is going threw the coaching staffs minds and I doubt any of you do either. I say let it play out.

I don't think you can make any really informed evaluation of what the staff wants their QB to be. If I recall when the Jets had a dink and dunk QB they played ball control move the chains offense and when they had a bomber at QB they played strech the field offense. So I don't think you know which style he prefers, guess he is a coach that adjusts his style to fit his talent. We will see who he thinks has more talent and ability to lead the team now.

Don't think you can read too much into neither player being traded. There could be many many reasons why neither player was traded. It is quite POSSIBLE that both QBs have strong camps in their corners and since there seemed to be nothing the Browns really wanted in the first round this year they chose not to move either QB until the staff evaluates them both. We can assume we know the owner is in BQs camp, who is in DAs camp? I don't know, but it COULD be the coaching staff or just portions of the coaching staff. Or closer to the truth is that they probably just want to actually see them both work and make a decision.

no, you don't know shit about QBs.

If you did your boy wouldn't have sat on the bench for two years and he wouldn't have sucked when he came in.

You seem very confident. Please take Inspeca's bet, Lum. Quinn starts the season, you leave. DA starts, he leaves.

I will even sweeten it by PayPaling the winner one hundred US dollars the very day the starter is named, or you guys can name someone here you'd like to act as a sort of escrow account. Or, i could give the money to the charity of your choice in your name, complete with a receipt of payment. Your choice, but this deal needs to go down.

[cmac12]

Lum you ruin posts. Somebody tries and make a post to have a real conversation and you ruin it. People feel compelled to respond to you. Although you could make real points in DAs favor you never choose to do so. You just attack BQ and his fans. I went to Oregon State and live in Oregon still and am a season ticket holder. I am in DAs corner. I feel no reason to attack BQ or his supporters to try and make a point. You can support DA and still be reasonable. There are real reason why neither QB has been traded and we do not know what they are.

Will you just please stop ruining posts. I am sure you can try and make a point without calling people fags or just being plain irrational. Hell I could and have made excuses for some of DAs play. Their have been drops and blown blocking but their have also been poor decisions and bad throws. DA is not perfect and needs to work on his game. maybe he needs to get a good coaching staff to develope him better. Is it really a shock that a new coaching staff wants to evaluate the QBs themselves to see who gives them the best shot of keeping their jobs?

Last year DA was rumored to have several trade offers, this year BQ was. Does that mean last year BQ sucked and nobody thought anything of him but this year they do? I don't know what it means and I also do not know what offers were actually made or how serious they were for either QB. I want to see how these two QBs develope this year and see who this coaching staff determines gives them the best shot to win. I hope it is DA, but it could easily be BQ. I do agree that whoever losses the compeition will get traded this year though as I do think that ratliff was brought in to be number 2.

Anyways, Lum either make a semi intelligent argument for DA or just shut up. And you can't call me a BQ fag because I don't actually like him and I hate ND and think Charlie is way over rated as a Head coach. But, I am not above saying that just because I don't like BQ does not mean he does not have skills.

When he came in, Lum, he had a 104 passer rating in his first start. It's the one and only healthy regular season game we have to go on. His only other healthy regular season play was his cameo against SF the year before... when he looked very strong and threw two TD passes that were dropped.

That's what we have and it's at least promising. He did nothing to convince a team to go against the grain and NOT give their first round QB a chance to start a string of games.

You keep touting that 104 passer rating, it was against a team with a 98.5 passing defense rating. The good defenses in the NFL are allowing passers ratings in the 60s & 70s. Whoohoo, BQ threw barely better than the average quarterback did against one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL!!!

He's so awesome!

@inspecta said:

Well then if that's your argument then you have to apply the same standards to DA.

Against shitty defenses and winless teams=DA awesome

Against middle of the road and upper echelon talent=DA sucks

Doesn't say much for him now does it?

isn't awesome against shitty D's better than OK against Shitty D's?

just sayin'.....

That's a mighty fine comeback there.

So are you man enough to take spec's bet or not?

[daddybull1]

Greythan I'd suggest you read all my posts in this thread before you claim my logic being faulty...

I posted "Quinn should have started last year in the 1st game of the season-------Whoever called that shot (not starting Quinn) should have been fired and in retrospect, he was...."

I've also stated several times that I feel Quinn should be playing and given ample time to prove or disprove his value...

Seems you're handling my posts in the same way you use to evaluate Quinn... You take a sentence or a very small sampling and then come to a conclusion that favors your argument... At times Quinn's play show me that he is something special but other times he looks too much like Charlie Frye in his execution....BTW, the same man drafted both of those QB's.... Was he a total idiot on one selection and then a geneous on the other????? BTW, Savage drafted all 3 QB's.....

Admittedly I was out of the loop last year and didn't see over 95% of the games (didn't see one game in its entirety), but I do recall that Anderson got hurt in preseason which caused Quinn to get all the snaps in practice... That was his opportunity to COMPETE for the starting position so I don't see how Shep can claim he never got a chance... Wasn't Bernie thrown into the fire due to an injury then his play made the incumbant expendable.... Quinn had the same chance but for whatever reason couldn't pull the switch.....

And if your gonna use Quinns cameo against the niners and give creedance to the 2 dropped passes that should have gone for touchdowns then in all fairness you have to use the numerous dropped passes that Anderson had to endure when calculating his effectiveness as a passer,,,, Whats fair is fair, whats spin is spin....

It's also my opinion that the Browns have no intention in trading either QB since both are coming off an injury from last season.... There was something like 65 different starting QB's last season showing that a good backup may be the difference to a winning or losing season.... However with the Ratliff on board we might see some movement during camp if another team has a dire need and is willing to over pay.....

peace

As opposed to your boy DA who had zero trade offers for him. At least there are articles that circulated saying at least 2 teams offered 1st round picks this year for Quinn (along with the rumor of DEN interest when they were dropping Cutler). That is more than can be said about DA.

@lumbergh said:

Wow, a 104 QB rating in your first pro start w/ 3 days prep. Yup, that is pretty darn bad.

What's DA's QB rating after 24+ starts again?

Yawn! Remind me, what did DA do against that "fantastic" Cincy D when the playoffs were on the line?

Oh, and you are comparing what DEN did against mostly established QBs vs. a guy in his first career start. Apples and Oranges chief.
