    I had hopes for that guy...I know he was a good college player.....oh well.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Very good start by the mankok team of ridding the team of guys that cant cut it..but stay tuned folks much more to come! 😉

    Peek gets hurt to easy and to much sadly he is a bust...

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

  • It's slightly ironic that we got rid of Dorsey & Gradkowski on the same day that Luke McCown got a new 2 year deal from the Bucs that could be worth up to $14 mil.

    I'm not convinced that McCown can be the guy, but he probably is worth more than the wasted late 6th Round pick we got for him. You just can't get rid of a developmental QB until you're absolutely convinced he sucks - there's just too much of a risk that some other team will end up fleecing you or getting a starting QB for free (i.e. Derek Anderson, Tyler Thigpen).

    And to say something positive about Mangini, he understands this. Despite trading for Brett Favre and having Brett Ratliff emerge during last year's preseason, he kept 5th Round pick Erik Ainge as a fourth QB on the opening day roster, then stashed him on IR a few weeks into the season.

    I disagree. The Ravens couldve spent last year letting Anderson, Boller, and Smith take turns disappointing. Instead, they found a new franchise QB. The Bucs couldve had Quinn if they wouldve given up on the McCown, Griese, Simms, every other backup QB in the league approach. The Browns came this close to wasting 2007 on Charlie Frye. I just dont see a perennial QB competition as a good thing.

  • Oh, I don't mean you have to start the guy or hold off on drafting a 1st Round QB. I'm just talking about retaining a rookie or second year developmental guy as your 3rd QB.

    The Ravens and Vikings made a mistake in putting DA & Thigpen on waivers, and I think we made a similar mistake in trading McCown.

  • Gee, our new leaders aren't looking at the roster & saying, "Um, well, uh...".

    Glad to see that they are hitting the ground running.

  • Yeah. Absolutely love it. Cousins is exactly the type of halfassed player Mangini won't put up with.

  • As they watch more film, more turds will get flushed. I fully anticipate Shaffer, Shaun Smith and Andra Davis to be next.

  • I don't know about Shaffer, he played okay last year. In 2007 he was above average. Put a good RG between him and Fraley and both look a lot better. Duke Robinson in the second?

  • It may come as a surprise to Bradies Ladies, but Shaun Smith DID NOT get cut.

    All the shep bullshit guarantees in the world still couldn't make that one happen.

    Final cut was today?

    Your ignorance continues to astound me.

    Hmmm. Interesting. I'd argue that Fraley ma de Hadnot look worse than he is. But, that's just what I saw.

    The most pressure we saw was up the middle (again, I think that is Fraley just being out-sized, not out played). Domino effect. JT got beat when he had to cheat inside to help McKinney (or when Steinbach was ailing but playing anyway).

    Also odd to see Dorsey go, unless he needed to get chopped so that Luke Skywalker's Brady Quinn's training can be complete and order is restored to the force.

    Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck. -Don Shula

    All I have to say is suckers... the guy only has 1,600 career passing yards. Most QB's have that by week 6.

  • does this mean that they are keeping brady and da?

    I still think DA will be traded. If you look at the free agent listing, there are a number available that won't cost a bunch & would hurt you far less than DA. It was pretty much a certainty that Dorsey would go.
