    (DA starts over Quinn) has a real chance of happenning.

    If this happens prepare for another shit season. How many times can one organization be fooled by eye candy? And the same eye candy no less. Jeff George syndrome.

    ya, DA starting means another losing season. at least if quinn starts and sucks, you can watch to see if he grows, develops and what not. and if we throw the season away we at least have a good excuse of trying out our pick.

    With DA, we are throwing it away with 2 season of proof, showing that he throws away seasons, usually to the ravens. it'll be a long boring year with DA under center

  • this is ridiculous to blame an entire season IF DA wins the derby..... any YOUNG QB with the arm strength that puts up 3700 yds and 29 tds and 10 wins saddled with a terrible defense and convinces TWO different coaching staffs he is better than a draftee is insane.

    This would be more of an indictment of BQ than an endorsement of DA's possible potential.

    like I stated in another thread, we have to see our Oline, 30 year old lewis. rookie wide recievers, unknown version of Braylon, new tight end corps (with a just done surgery of heiden) new offensive coordinator, new coaching staff, head coach etc..... This is quite a change and to pin our entire season on a qb choice is insane.

    I am excited about the preseason games to get a look at the veterans/rookies and this new coaching staff and how they playcall.. new chemistry is always fun in the beginning.... that is until it blows up in your face from improper chemical mixtures......

  • well he lost our last 2 seasons pretty well.

    DA ain't a good fit for this scheme. He is lagging Quinn in plays needed to run this scheme and that is a problem.

    To run a modified scheme just for DA, which I saw in practice, isn't worth it.

    Really? What about the other 21 players on Offense and Defense? They just did, what? Give me a break.

  • all DA had to do was not throw picks, and we coulda been great. every time the pressure was on he folded like a cheap suit. ravens, cinci, pitt. the list goes on. he lost those games with poor QB play. he doesn't have the mental fortitude to deal with pressure situations, he will never get to the superbowl, and never win it because he isn't a winner. we know he isn't a winner, so we should move on. if we find quinn isn't a winner, we continue moving. sticking with a supbar QB that can't handle pressue just cause your afraid of the unknown is not smart.

    shit, he couldn't even handle the pressure in the inner squad scrimmage. I was there, he played like trash. and he had all the good reciviers and Oline on his team. when the stakes are high, DA doesn't show up. plain and simple

  • If we start DA this year along and jamal at runningback we will break all records for the worst offense EVER. I don't think I can take another game of DA incomplete to whoever, jamal for 2 yards, braylon drops a fastball over the middle and PUNT

  • 10 - 5 in 2007 with the 30th rank defense with an organization that has made the playoffs once in 15 years, what a bad season. I know it was against an easy schedule, which I am sure that the Browns have not ever had before. I have to admit that DA was lucky that the year he took over was the one year where BE decided to catch the ball and the only year when there was an easy schedule.

    3 - 5 last year with a concussion(if BQs injury matters then so does DA's since he could not practice for two weeks and had light sensativity until the day before game), 1 receiver from the previous year (who dropped several key passes), a under performing OL and against 3 of the best teams in the AFC to start the season.

    With all of that it is his fault the Browns lost but not his credit when they won. They won because of circus catches and I seem to recall a bunch of people saying a genius OC. But the losses? All on DA.

    As far as BQ goes. He has mirrored DA IN GAMES (not practice) when you look at the production he has had. After 3 starts he has done basically the same as DA. You all seem to think that he can grow with experiance, and maybe he can. But he is only ONE year younger than DA and last season was crappy regardless of who was QBing.

    I think whoever starts is just holding the spot for next years number one pick. I do find it funny and actually backs up something that Lum said last year. That is that if DA is the QB then the Browns losing is unacceptable, but if it is BQ starting then it is ok because it will give him a chance to grow into the franchise QB that he is. As far as that goes, what has he done in the NFL that makes you think he is going to be better than average at best.

    But we will see, starting tonite.

    Not that I think a concussion isn't a major injury, but where oh where is Lumbergh when you need him?

    "Light sensitivity?" That's an excuse??
