DA is just one component in a TEAM game.

OK, I'm calm now.
We have no idea if Quinn will be any better, and yes things can be worse. But who could fault the Browns for giving it a whirl?
Q: "Why would you replace DA? Your 10-win starter from last year. A pro-bowler."
A: "Well, we gave DA a chance. But, we're 3-5 and he's at the bottom of the league for QB's. We thought we'd try Quinn and see if we could generate a spark. We gave up a lot to get him, so we believed in him, and its time to see if we were right".
Sound reasonable to me.

So what you're saying is DA led us to 2 field goals in the first half? What a stud!
If that's the way you want to read it, but both tied the game and the discussion was about pressure situations. Care to add anything along thoes lines? or about the next 14 points we scored thereafter before Braylon killed two consectutive drives with third down drops?
Who we focusing on about pressure? The defense who got bend over like a cheap whore? Nope! Braylon Edwards who choked on the deep ball and securing first downs? Nope! Jamal Lewis for knowing his job is to move the chains and keep the clock moving to protect a 14-point lead at Home in the second half? Nope! Derek Anderson for getting things clicking with a mentally challenged #1 WR, no #2 WR, a TE that is still running school yard 5-6 cut fakes, An over-rated Line that can't run block to gain an important yard, or a Running Back that played tougher wearing purple? You guessed it ... the paper fans sing again.

Why would you debut your backup in a short week, when your starter just played well enough to pull out your 4th win in 5 games?

LOL, ok its everybody but DA, that makes more sense.

not that anybody outside of the Brady Quinn fan club gives a shit about passer rating...
I tend to agree.
However, is there really any reason to continue the DA experiment which results in further delaying our evaluation of Quinn? Seriously?
I guess we have to wait for a mathmatical elimination from the playoffs.

Ok let me spell it out for you.DA has the ability to look good on some occasions, otherwise he wouldnt be starting with BQ on the bench
But you're wrong - Romeo and Savage are afraid to lose their security blanket (Quinn) by playing him. Their jobs are on the line with this fuktard DA, but even more if Quinn falters. So that's why he's starting with BQ on the bench.
Not because he's good, what the hell are you smoking.

LOL I said on SOME occasions, and he has like the Giants game, just enough to save his job. But when it comes to suceeding in the clutch DA is incapable of doing it. Read my post again, I am in no way defending DA. He should have been benched before that Giants game imo.

I'll agree with you that Jamal is done as a starting running back, but our defense is an average unit that would look better with a little offensive support to keep them from tiring out so quickly.
DA is done as a QB, and Jamal is done as a RB. Romeo will ride them to his grave. So we're both fucked.

This is becoming a sort of DA religion war and I don't think that's right.Yes, the QB is just one eleventh of the offense. But he handles the ball on every snap and at least half of those snaps are for passes. Just because of that he cannot be considered one eleventh of the team.
Look at the Falcons. They have a rookie at the helm and they don't have a better team than the Browns.
Yes, look at Atlanta!!!!! LOL, the #1 Rushing team in the League ... yes, look to them and scratch head as to why their QB gets pimped for having a less completion percentage than Derek Anderson.
What? Matt Ryan is completing 58% of his passes while DA is below 50%. Not to mention Matt Ryan is a wet behind the ears rookie.
You don't like QB convos, fine. But just stay out of them. DA sucks and there is nothing you can say to spin it otherwise. You and Lummy have yet to make any type of valid argument in favor of DA, other than blaming other players for DAs ineptitude.
