No Love for Quinn

But that still doesn't account for how good ole Charlie Frye could beat out your snookems in a head to head training camp battle now does it?You forget.
According to RAC, the competition was going to extend into the season.
He didn't declare a winner before week 1.
The winner was named on Tuesday of week 2.
You forget.
Geee, more Loverboy reflecting on "The Way We Were" with DA. There's a surprise.
I see we're gonna play more keep away from how DA closed his 2006 starts with 4 INTs vrs Tampa. Did he get betetr with each start? Not there.
How about 2008? We always play keep away from the 2nd Cincy Game, which was 365 days after the 06 debacle in Tampa. Anyway, DA threw 4 INTs again showing me the same guy I saw exactly 1 year before. Again, was that improvement as he got more starts under his belt?

I went to Oregon State and I think DA is better than most give him credit for. But, I do not think he is the long term answer in Cleveland. I am not sure BQ is either but I don't know. But, with that said I will take the Bet. If both QBs are on the roster and niether is traded before the first game I think DA will win the battle (not really but I want to take the bet) for starting QB. If BQ is the starter on game one you can pick a avatar for me, if he is not then you get a avatar that has something to do with DA owning BQ at every level that they have played in. Was higher rated coming out of High School, beat him in head to head competition in College and beat him out as starter of the Browns. Somethign along those lines, that will be fun.
Of course if either QB is traded then the bet is null and void.

Mangini and the staff have watched every tape there is of both Quinn and Anderson. They've watched both in minicamp and Daboll is working with both daily in learning the offense. I think they're better suited to figuring out if either guy can win in this league than anyone here. I also think that Kokinis would be a fool not to listen to trade offers since the draft pick cupboard is bare. You people are far too harsh on Anderson which is equally as disconcerting as your love for Quinn. The guy throws 29 (29!) TDs one year and in the span of the next few games becomes a bum? If only life were as simply as these people would make it out to be.
I don't care what you have on your team in terms of vets and free agents, if you don't draft well you will either wind up a team full of aging question marks or in salary cap hell. You can't draft right without draft picks.
Lastly, I'd caution those of you Quinn lovers who are simply on the "homer bandwagon". I am guilty of this too with some of my hometown guys but at this level of football you MUST look at the roster dispassionately to make decisions. You can't cloud your judgment by giving guys "extra" shots or support them a little more than you normally would because he's from the area. Screw that. I think it's very unusual for a hometown kid to lead his hometown team to victory these days. Leave that for class reunions and fantasy leagues.
Its all fine and dandy that he had 29 tds. But he also got darn near half of those in 3 or 4 games against the worst competition. Stop judging DA's 2007 season on TDs alone. Also take into account that he was 2nd in the league in INTs at 19, yet only sacked like 14 times? That's a lotta picks for so little pressure. Also watch the games. He had a few great games, and a few very bad games, and most of them very average games. Everyone keeps talking about how good his first half of 2007 was, but go back and look at the numbers. His inconsistency showed from the very beginning. Not too good against Pitt coming off the bench, but that's excusable, great Cincy game, bad Oak game, good Balt game, bad NE game.
The point is, DA cannot be defined by stats alone, nor can any QB. You have actually see how the guy is playing as a whole.

Exactly, and I'm sure the coaches and team management are making their decisions base on the whole picture, not just a partial picture like many here.

I think the manwagoners are scared to take the bet due to the finality of it all.How about we change the parameters of the bet to make it more palatable for them when DA gets his ass handed to him.
IF DA wins I will put in my sig a pic of DA stating he's the greatest QB of all time. or better yet, I'll let them pick my sig for me and I'll proudly wear that sig for the entire 2009 season. IF BQ wins the bet then I get to pick a sig for them to wear for the entire 2009 season.
There, is that easier for you guys to handle or are you still too chicken shit?
I'm gonna go ahead and guess the latter...
Which "manwagoners" have been afraid of an open competition? I've seen many BQ fans here not even wanting that to happen.
Now you're talking... A simple "I'm a dumbass when it comes to Quarterbacks, don't listen to me" signature or something along those lines would be fine. No need for total emasculation for either loser. Sadly the tone of this entire argument has been getting more and more hostile, never my intent.

My good God, you guys must be constructed of particularly dense material up there in Oregonia.
There's no "partial picture" clouding things for most of us. Most of us are not particularly fond of Quinn per se. What many of us want -- and have always wanted -- is for a return on the investment. That's why I was for trading/letting DA go (would have been a great return on a small investment), not letting DA play for us ever again (because of the little return on a big investment in '08) and letting Quinn get his chance to play (only way to get any real return on big investment).
Here, I will type it really slow for you, so perhaps you can grasp the concept:
Quinn
was
a
1st
round
pick.
He
either
must
play
or
return
equal
value.
There? Is that simple enough for you?
And because "equal value" would be a 1st and 2nd (what we actually paid for him), which we are unlikely to get for him, I don't see how trading him helps us.
Unless he really is the worst college QB prospect of all time and no one knows it but you, Lum and ManKok.
-
Some reasonable people have said, what Savage did with his first round pick a couple years back has no bearing on what the current management has to do... I tend to agree with them. There's no need to play or trade for equal value if the new management deems it so.

beat him in head to head competition in College
This is hopelessly inaccurate. The Insight Bowl scoreboard did not say "Anderson vs. Quinn". Did it?
This is on par with saying "Scott Norwood lost the Superbowl". You're college educated and I'm assuming you know better.
I know this kind of posting makes some people tired.
But, there is a reason that NFL teams have been so successful with names like Parcells and Belichick at the helm.
Sometimes, even they found themselves having to deal with hopeless franchises that couldn't grasp the concept of "team".
Please forgive me. I'll get off my soap box now.

There is an argument to be made for the "clean sweep" philosophy but what's incontrovertible is that cutting your losses comes at a steep price.
What you seem not to understand is that regardless of who made the original decisions, they were still BAD DECISIONS if the ORGANIZATION is hurt by them.
So, like I said earlier, paying DA/not taking the picks was a BAD DECISION because it's STILL AFFECTING the organization, regardless what ManKok do with DA now.
Similarly, if Quinn is traded for less than was paid for him, that doesn't mean it's GOOD for the franchise. If we trade him for a 1st, we're still out that second and the ORGANIZATION has gained NOTHING.
So the point remains: if you trade BQ without playing him and get back for him less than was paid, that is an organizational LOSS, just like the picks we LOST by signing DA.
All in all, if BQ is traded for a 1st, we'd have lost 3 total picks because of Savage's decision to keep DA.
Can't see how that's a win for the team.
-
What you don't get, is that there is a possibility that the current management feel the drafting of BQ wasn't necessarily a great decision, or the possibility that they think he's an OK QB, but they'll gain more by trading him than keeping him.
Just because the Browns paid a high price to get ANY player, not just BQ or DA, doesn't mean they have to get equal value on the original price to let a player go. Who cares about the picks they lost in the past?... I bet Lerner and the rest of the organization consider it water under the bridge, and if they feel trading a player today will make them a better team tomorrow, they'll do it no matter what that player cost in the past.

For once D&S, I have to agree here. The current FO isn't go to be held hostage by what the previous FO did, and they shouldn't be. ManKok needs to field what they feel is the best team, and get best value for players they don't think fit.
IMO though, I don't think they are looking to trade Quinn, unless the offer is just too good to pass AND they are intent on getting Sanchez. Everything that's been said out of Berea, and that is extremely little, is that EVERYONE except JT and D'Qwell is tradeable, and they have listened to offers. No one has said they are actively shopping BQ, or DA, other than media "sources".
While I hate being in the dark as much as the next person, this offseason really has been fun so far.

Hey, alright, now you're cooking! Spoken almost like a BROWNS fan. There's hope for you yet...
So, yeah, I do get it. And I agree with this post. Nicely done! (Insert thumbs up smiley here.)
Nice jousting with you. As always, produce a few less DA-centric posts and it's much more fun talking with you.
It is about moving forward with what's best for the team and organization NOW and I support any and all movements in that direction.
So, to get back to the original thread topic, while I believe ManKok when he says "no one is safe" and it's about improving the team, I can't imagine that Quinn is so poorly thought of by Mangini and Kokinis that they would take only one pick for him.
Once again, the reality is that BQ has neither succeeded nor failed as an NFL QB yet. Thus, his value is really still to be determined and the calculation that needs to be made by the Browns is whether they think he could possibly increase his value beyond whatever actual offer they have for him by playing him this year.
My opinion is that his potential remains high and though I doubt his NFL career ceiling is much higher than DA's, his floor certainly is higher. Which is why I think he'll be given a shot SOMEWHERE this year, and I still hope it's with us (unless someone goes nuts with the picks. Then it's buh-bye Brady and hello defense!)

Seriously, no one is a bigger Buckeye fan than I am. But it amazes me that people can't seem to see players for what they are when it comes to the Buckeyes going into the NFL.
I was ona Buckeye Forum not long ago and there was a discussion concerning Jim Cordle and how great of an NFL lineman he was going to be because he can play three different positions on the line for the Buckeyes....He's been playing right tackle this year.
There is only one problem with that theory concerning Jim's NFL career...Cordell may not even be drafted. If he does I suspect it'll be a 6th or 7th rounder.
All I can do is shake my head at these people.

Those are the Buckeye types that are in their own little world and who give us that do know a few things a bad rep. Ytown is not that way either, you guys just got into a pissing match.
Anybody that thinks Cordle is a guaranteed NFL player is obviously strictly a college fan of OSU. These same types call WKNR with ridiculous takes on Buckeyes, like wanting to draft Troy Smith with the third pick type stuff.
I'm sure a lot of college fans are like this but guys on this board who hate OSU and its fans obviously are going to see more of us here than any other team. I just hate it when I can't make a comment about a Buckeye player I like without hearing what a homer I am. This is what Alo and I were talking about how everybody becomes an asshole when discussing Buckeye players on both sides.
OSU and it's record of putting guys into the league speaks for itself.

Call me a homer I dont give chit! I would love to see Laurinaitis, Jenkins & Robiskie playing in a Brown's Jersey this year. Someone is going to pick these guys and they will get damn good players when they do.
Head or Gut? -
Very interesting thread guys. I would add a couple of thoughts:
1) Let's be careful about use of the phrase "trying to trade Quinn". There's a difference between actively calling people to see if they want him and answering the phone when it rings. They'd be stupid not to listen. I think that it's likely THIS is what Mangini talked to Quinn about. He probably said "you're on this team but realize that people are calling us". It's what McDaniels SHOULD have done with Cutler.
2)JUST MY SUSPICION but I was thinking that if they probably have contingency deals already in place. For instance, if Sanchez falls to them then they could trade either the pick (and opportunity to select him) or Quinn to Denver. As much as perhaps we like Quinn, perhaps McDaniels has some unreal man-love for the guy and is willing to part with good currency to get him. Also, if Sanchez goes to Seattle and Crabtree to #5 then perhaps the deal with the Giants for Edwards kicks in.
3)Re: OSU players. I don't think that one can argue with the quality of the prospects. Yes, they don't have a great track record of success but that shouldn't be an indictment of the school. I'm a Texas alum and our success or lack thereof is similar. Who knew that Ricky Williams was going to friggin' flip out? He's still been a very productive player between the lines. Derrick Johnson on the other hand has been pedestrian. Casey Hampton and Shaun Rogers=good. Michael Huff= inexplicably not so good. No one knows what these guys will do once they get the pay day. No one knows how they will or won't mature in the NFL. No school is 100%. It's a case by case thing. I think that Robiskie is my pick for surprise in this draft. Don't be surprised to see Sanchez at #5...trade Quinn to Denver....take a defensive player at their pick...Robiskie in round 2. As much as any player is a risk, I'd say that a player from a successful program is less of a risk because you have plenty of film on him against top competition.

My only problem with this statement is based on how you define success. While a number of OSU players may not have lived up to their draft position, I believe success is measured by the number of good, steady contributors the program puts in the NFL. The types of players that form the core and backbone of a team.

Fair enough but I think that the OSU's and Texases get judged mostly (albeit unfairly) by the high profile guys...yet they do have a great track record of the type of guy that you're referring to. I was thinking about USC this morning and how Cassel couldn't unseat Matt Leinhart and wondering how much that really means. I was reading an article about how Reggie Bush was a bust relative to his draft position. That said, there are a lot of guys over the years who have been that latter type of guy who really are steady NFL players for a long time.
