3rd & Goal at the 6, you have a chance to get $11 mil, what do you do?
BQ made the mistake of going to sissorhands 2 times in a row mangini isnt going to put that on BQ...
Edwards said Quinn put the ball where it was supposed to be. "I'm used to jumping, and I didn't need to leave my feet," he said.
Quinn was 7-for-11 for 68 yards, one pick, and a 43.0 rating.
"I felt confident out there," Quinn said. "It's frustrating not to capitalize in the red zone."
He said the interception throw behind Edwards was "a poor decision on my part. You have to come away with at least a field goal there. I apologized to my teammates."
And DA making an excuse for his lack of mobility and bad decision...
Anderson's night was finished: 0 for 2, one pick, 0.0 rating.
"Obviously a little bit of frustration. We didn't play the way we've been practicing," Anderson said.
He said on the interception, he got hit in the knee as he threw and "the ball just kind of fluttered in the air."
Mangini needs to quit playing this stupid controversy game and name BQ the starter it is obvious for all too see BQ is going to outclass DA on the field and this club needs to get united under one leader as soon as possible to improve our chances of winning a few games this year...

Ouch.
After spending his career with Frye and Anderson, I'm wondering if I should still be blaming Braylon for his dropsies.

The real discouraging thing is that both Steinbach and St. Clair were beaten by late-round/UDFA rookies. 6th rounder Jarius Wynn ripped off of Steinbach, and St. Clair seemed a little off balance trying to mirror UDFA Cyril Obiozor.
It was only one play, but you don't like to see your starting linemen fail in that situation against 2nd team rookies.
Seriously Alo.
No one is talking about how awful our OL was last night. Forget the QB's, the OL was 0-16 awful.
DA was hit three times while throwing and Quinn didn't exactly have all day to throw on his drives either.
Oh, and what running game? JL needs that initial hole to burst through or he's forced into the stutter-step (which goes no where).
It was really bad last night.
-
I'm not sure what the problem was. I also noticed that they were pulling Steinbach a lot, but it wasn't at all effective.

Pretty simple "eyeball test:"
Which QB looked like the one who's started 20+ NFL games and which one looked like the one who has only started 3?
no doubt Quinn had the less horrible game.
but that one play was his chance to take the bull by the horns.
he knew it. we all knew it.
and he threw one late and behind the WR. Picked in the end zone.
so much for the "gamer" label.
chances like that gem don't come along too often.
if he plays Detroilet like he played them last year, he might have just waived bye bye to that $11 mil.

Loverboy, I appreciate your brutal honesty here. I'm just wondering why you've waived the same honesty when it comes to Dumb Ass? If DA grabbed this "bull by the horns" you speak of - Quinn wouldn't be upsetting you so much.
You DO realize if he's still doing this after 27 starts - it's NEVER going away right? Haven't you wondered why SO MANY fans have changed their tune on DA since 2007. It's all about regression instead of progression.
That said, Quinn has had 2 healthy starts so the APPROPRIATE time for us to see these types of growing pains should NEVER have been after Dumb Ass failed and year #3 for the 1st round QB. We should be doing this the other way around. For example, the Atlanta Falcons didn't draft Matt Ryan so they could re-start their QB with a 94 passer rating from the year before. They drafted a LT & QB in round 1 like we did. They also added a workhorse RB via free agency like we did. The difference? They didn't go limpwristed with their first round commitments. They had the grapefruits below the acorns to honor them.
Your pen pal Shep will tell you I liked Troy Smith BETTER than I liked Brady Quinn PRE-DRAFT. Since Savage decided to HANG our franchise on Quinn - GUESS who I hoped like Hell would succeed? I'll give you a hint - he wears an orange helmet.
I've told you a couple 100 times how much I adored the Brian Sipe story. That being the case, I'll fully welcome the next one that comes along. DA is NOT Brian Sipe. He's more of a sad ending like Brian's Song. I'm sorry dude. It's looking like you picked a hollowdome as your hometown hero.

Well I don't think DA is going to have many more chances. He had a golden opportunity to put the competition with Quinn to bed but instead confirmed why everyone is tired of his inconsistency.
So I guess we'll read post after post of Quinn bashing from you. That's all you have left.

If Braylon catches the "perfect" pass for the TD.. the 11th throw (interception) would not have been needed. Quinn would have been 8 of 10 and a TD and a QB rating that would be way up there.... It's amazing how bad one dropped pass can screw things up.
* as for lums.. your credibility on this board really cannot any worse than it already is.

Brady Quinn, QB, Cleveland Browns Sunday 8/16, 11:13 AM CT
According to the News Herald, Brady Quinn took a commanding lead in the starting quarterback battle over Derek Anderson on Saturday night. According to writer Jeff Schudel, the job is Quinn's to lose at this point.
Our View: Quinn was good on Saturday, but he didn't do anything spectacular. Anderson, however, was not good, and he may have only one more chance to prove that he deserves a shot at the starting gig. Quinn has been the favorite all along, but now it looks like almost a certainty that he will be the guy.

LOL, "grabbing the bull by the horns"
-
I've noticed the chorus of Brady's ladies touting Anderson's interception as proof of inferiority, and shifting the blame completely to BE fail to mention that Quinn would have had two interceptions had the defender not dropped it following the Cribbs reverse run. All and all both QB's looked crummy. Nothing to write home about either way.
-
Anybody that watched that game and couldn't figure out who the better QB was is an idiot.
Bradies Ladies, what the fook is that? Quinn basically just confirmed last night what most knew, and that is he is a way better QB than DA.
Feel free to watch the game, then feel free to learn it if you can't tell what you're seeing.

The difference is that one of the QB's managed to actually move the team and you know...complete a pass while the other was absolutely horrible. Anyone on this board could've played as well as Anderson played last night. I expect just a bit more out of the potential starting QB of my team.

Well, at least for DA they don't.
