Tuesday practice updates
-
Sounds like really bad morning practice today. Hopefully things went better in the afternoon. Some players are just melting down.
Yeah I wonder who Mangini is pissed about. Any clues from this?
"Quinn threw a pass in the two-minute that was nowhere near a receiver and CB Brandon McDonald intercepted it and returned it for a score."
The performance in today's two-minute drill particulary irked coach Eric Mangini. "They have to understand what we're trying to accomplish, not just lob the ball up, get intercepted and have a false start," he said. "That's bad football."

It's funny that you would quote something like that only when it applies to Quinn......

I say we stars Anderson in the first quater against the vikes. And after his first 3 passes are picked off we can put quinn in for the rest of the season

He was mad at a boneheaded receiver. Again, if it were Quinn, it would be "fiery leader".You seemed to have missed my point, which is Anderson is not a fiery leader, and when the pressure is on he loses focus. He can throw, but I have yet to see him lead. Another point I made was my questioning where this so-called "fire" was last season when things started off terrible? Did he yell at Edwards during the Cowboys game and get him to focus? Don't tell me about what other people would have said if Quinn had yelled at a WR. I am not talking about Quinn - although yes, you're right people would have said that. I am not other people.
The fact is Anderson is not a vocal leader. So when I hear about him kicking cones, yelling about wrong routes, or generally pissed off about a missed assignment, I don't automatically assume he is establishing a leadership role. I think he is doing what he does when the heat is on - collapse.
It has nothing to do with what I think other people would do in that situation - whatever that means?? - but everything to do with what I have seen from DA when the heat was on. I am a fan of the Browns and watch every game. I am not some outsider spouting off about what other people saw.
You don't think it is accurate because that is not your opinion of him. If I ruffled your feathers a bit because I have expressed my opinion, I don't know what to tell you. It is a message board, shit happens.

Yeah, that way after Anderson throws those three picks and his defenders come here making every excuse in the book, they can criticize every move that Quinn makes.

I seem to remember something in there about Anderson running a lap or two for fumbling handoffs and snaps.

I'll give DA credit for at least showing he cares. I honestly thought he'd go into operation shrug shoulders with stupid grin on his face like in the past when he failed.
The kid is human, I don't like to see anybody struggle knowing they're losing their job. He ain't a bad dude.

Like somehow you have climbed into Derek's head and are reporting back to the rest of us.It's great knowing exactly what Derek is feeling at all times.
I don't know about getting inside his head, but I have watched him play and unravel under pressure, and then not recover. You haven't seen this kid collapse under pressure?
And now all of a sudden, with his starting position apparently on the line and the pressure mounting, he is a fiery, vocal leader?
Is that what you're trying to sell me? Cuz I ain't buying it.

He's coming completley unhinged imo. At the scrimmage he threw a football down and was arguing with the refs so much about a sack rogers had on him they called a penalty and backed the offense up half the distance to the goal. That's very uncharacteristic of him and I think combined with all of the other things we've been hearing and then set in the context of him clearly falling behind in the qb competition and I think you have what I would call a complete meltdown. You don't have to be a mind reader to see it either.

If this was the Presidential primary season, Anderson would have won the Iowa runoff but lost New Hampshire and got swept on Super Tuesday.

Hey zombo that sounds like something lums would post! hehehehehe
Mangini had a meltdown too and the whole team is sucking and or mangini is in a bad mood because his loverarm is losing the contest in the rest of the worlds eyes and he is going to look stupid and get jeered for naming DA the man...

I think Quinn will be the starter and have said so from the beginning. This hasn't been about who the best passer is. It has been about who can manage the offense the best and be the best leader on the field. So here's a revelation. If they don't get the running game going and going well, neither QB will be successful.
This season's success depends on our running game and the defense stopping the opponents running game. No QB will be successful in this system if they can't run the ball. It isn't about 8 men in the box either. It is about guys geting their ass whipped at the line of scrimmage (both sides of the ball).

Any clue Zombo or Lum will still post here after Derek is gone?

Oh how the desperate are grasping at straws now.This is truly hilarious. BQ is shitting the bed and still better than DA. I love it.
Why would you love that??
I don't get some of you people. It is as if it is more important you win some goofy status on a message board v the team being good.
Anybody who roots against a Browns player isn't a fan IMO, and this board is full of people who root against one player or the other.
Two thumbs down.

Like I didn't know, the color of your words was enough for me. But I just wasn't to read it from the "tards" own finger pressings.

Zombo has been here since the begining, Im pretty sure he will remain here no matter who the quaterback is.

Im just going to burry my head til the season starts.

As a leading DA-basher, I wouldn't say I "root against him", I'd say that I simply HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE of him being anything other than what he has shown us to be.
If DA magically turned into a real QB, I'd be just as excited as any other Browns fan.
But the reality is that he's a backup QB who only got a chance to shine because he was on the same team as Charlie Frye. Only in Cleveland would this sort of ridiculous story line continue for this long.
There's a reason why some guys are #1 picks and some guys aren't. People have forgotten that very simple fact because we Cleveland fans are so desperate for a real QB that we'll pretend anyone with the ability to throw the football is a real QB.
Let's get back to reality, shall we? The 6th round journeyman has likely peaked. The first round pick is about to get his chance to succeed or fail.
THAT is the player we should be cheering for, NOT because his name is Brady Quinn but because HE COST OUR TEAM A FIRST ROUND PICK.

Anderson's, more like Clara Peller, Bob Dole, the Bartles and James farmer guys, the cranberry ninja fruit guys, Mr. Whipple, and the various Maytag guys...
All were effective.

Unfortunately for DA, his quarterbacking over the last year-and-a-half has been Bartles and Jamesian.
