Quinn not NFL caliber

Oh... diddnt it take Eli some time to come around? Why cant we give Quinn that patience and opportunity?

"Quinn not NFL caliber" And Derrick Brooks and Zack Thomas were too small, Drew Brees is too short, Emmitt Smith wasn't the fastest guy in the world. Ok this is THE last time I comment on this topic but for someone to say that a player isn't NFL caliber just by looking at him is wrong. Don't be too quick to judge people.

Bringing up Manning is making a case to keep DA. 2008 is the first year Manning outperformed DA's first year and a half as a starter.

I knew someone was gonna bring this up, although I thought itd be lums...
Key difference between Manning/Brady, and your buddy Derek. They were both first round talent and Derek... not so much. Oh, and dont bring up some bullshit about Tom Brady, because if you really want to got there.... first of all, you honestly are just trying to play devils advocate because nobody in there right mind would compare DA to TB, and secondly... Quinn has more ties to Tom Brady than DA does anyway which would make that argument null and void. There's no reason not to start Quinn.

Exactly. First round picks get longer to develope as there's a reason QB's fall to day 2 of the draft. For example, interceptions. When a 6th round QB gets 20+ starts and demonstrates the same amounts of interceptions he had in high school and college, there's less hope he will grow out of it. But, when a first round QB had a great pedigree (Manning) or had great numbers in college (Quinn), then they are given longer to see if they can reproduce their form in the NFL.
And Tom Brady stepped in and did well. He had less of a leash than DA and no where near the leash of a first round Manning.

Eli and Tom Brady sat and still learned (Eli for a half a year and Tom for almost two). DA sat for almost 2 years and learned nothing. Started 20+ games and still learned nothing (i.e. showed no growth). When you are 4 years into your NFL career and you play the same as you did when you were in college and HS, you are who you are.

From the looks of it, half this board would love to see Quinn and DA mud wrestle each other butt naked.
Here's a thought. Wouldn't Mangini, who is physically very close to Quinn and DA, have a better grasp than you guys on who is a better fit for this offense?
Stats are very useful and can tell a lot, but they don't give you the whole story. This QB situation is incredibly important for the future of the Browns offense, and no doubt Mangini has been watching both Quinn and DA carefully, both present day and of video reels of the last few seasons. I honestly would bet that Mangini has asked for RAC's opinions about the two early on (though I'm sure they made efforts to not alert the media for obvious reasons... ) Not only that, but little things like, for instance.... getting to actually TALK to Quinn and DA would surely give Mangini a better picture of how the two can perform.
Lets just have a little faith that the men closest to Quinn and DA have a more complete perspective on their QB potential than we do.
....
That being said, Quinn's my choice.

The bottom line is that no one can honestly say that Brady isn't NFL caliber, because he has only played in 3 NFL games and he was only healthy in 1 of those games. In that game, he put up the best debut performance by any Browns QB ever! Regardless of the opposition. He deserves at least a fair tryout. DA got 20+ games as a starter (after B-more saw him for what he was) and has clearly shown that he is not the answer for the Browns.
Regardless, none of us has any control over who the Browns ' QB will be. Hopefully, Mangini will figure it out before camp, because I don't think this city can handle another QB competition!

Proximity to the players doesn't guarantee the best evaluations. Case in point = RAC

well there's no way you can be w/ that mouth full of Brady Quinn's xxxx.
What about all the guy's with their lips stitched to DA's xxxx. They all want Quinn GONE after 3 games and thier boy got a season and a half and lost his job. All I want if for Quinn to get his chance, if he fails ship him out get the next guy. Personally I would trade DA for a McDonald's cheeseburger just to get rid of Lumberg and all the loyal DA fans. I am a BROWNS FAN, I don't care what the guys name is under center as long as he can win games. CHEESEBURGER ANYONE???
