Let me post this (soon to be dismissed article):

Cleveland Browns coach says switch to quarterback Brady Quinn 'was my decision'

by Tony Grossi

Tuesday November 04, 2008, 11:29 AM

Romeo Crennel said he made the call to bench Derek Anderson for Brady Quinn.

"Some things had to do with it," Crennel said. "Our record, offensive ranking, offensive production, so I made the decision to make the change."

Quinn basically will have one full day of practice before making his NFL starting debut Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.

"Timing? Well, I don't think the short week had nothing to do with it," Crennel said. "It was just time. We're not throwing in the towel, not giving up on the season, we're going to beat Denver, that's what we're going to do."

Crennel denied ESPN reports that the move was made by his bosses as a public relations ploy.

"It's my decision," Crennel said. "I informed the organization what I was thinking. They told me they would back whatever decision I made. I feel I have the backing."

Lumbergh

Haha. Sure is was RAC's decision.

Yeah that's why he said DA was the starter about two hours before they made the change.

Everybody knows who made this change, regardless of what they told RAC to say.

Funny, Lum, you're the turd who always WITHOUT FAIL threw Romeo's and Phil's words at us, verbatim, as God's Truth.

Now, when it suits your purposes, you stop believing Romeo? You can't have it both ways.

You're a joke.

Mr. Only-From-The-Horse's-Mouth is now second guessing team officials?

Lum, you've taken Fraud to a whole new level. It must flat out HURT to be that pathetic.

Grey, what are the chances Lum responds to this? Slim? None????

Directly? None.

This is old (but still fun). He regularly gets his ass handed to him on these boards and has NEVER been man enough to stand up. He did, however, almost rant about DA after his implosion in the first Baltimore game.

He also made the comment because the meeting hadn't taken place yet, so at that point DA was still the starter.

It's not that complicated, you sit down with your coaches and whoever and throw the idea out there. When the consensus is to start the kid, then that's the decision made and it goes down as the coaches.

RAC 'n ROLLS is not going to say DA is not the starter before he meets with his staff and the players themselves.

Duhoyeee! dis is a rocket science

First off this is purely speculation on your part and to put it out there as fact is ubsurd.

So how in the hell else did Trent Dilfer of all people end up breaking the story?

Dude, do you know what breaking a story means? That ain't breaking a story. That is speculation and opinion.

If Dilfer were to have heard it from a person in the organization, staff, or Lerners lawn boy, then it would be breaking something.

Apparently none of you BQ Fags can give any other reason for Trent Dilfer to have broken this story.

Well seeing as how you didn't start following the Browns until last year, you don't know Dilfers history in CLE. He was brought in by Savage to be the starter (even traded for him). He blew badly while was here and was yanked mid way through the season for Frye on a bad football team (remember Dilfer using that line in his emo rants on ESPN, "you don't change QBs on a bad football team")?

He got into trouble out in the flats, had several reported blow ups with OC, and was bitter when he was let go.

And again, he didn't break anything. He speculated based on his experience in CLE.

Hey Mik, remember when da ich slithered out of the bet we had over Dildofer's QB rating after he was player of the week against Green Bay?

Classic. PS, I've been trying to educate these Oregonians on Browns history so thanks for helping. Lums didn't know Dildofer ever even played in Ctown until yesterday.

? Masters

Yup, I remember that Russ.

Of course Lummy didn't know Dilfer was a former Brown until yesterday.

Gips

Speculation:

There is not a doubt in my mind that (mr.handsoff ownership) finally got his hands on and told savage of his desire to see bq play and savage relayed the message to rac also putting in his 2 cents in about his desire to see what bq has as well rac most likely had no choice really..

Savage is doing lerners bidding randy wants everyone to do their job on their own accord and work as partners instead of superior to lesser superior while this is an honorable concept it needs the right people to work and rac is not that guy this team needs an aggressive self starter coach and staff that will address the key issues on the field so savage is free to manage the business end and randy is free to sink another bank with tax payer dollars instead of having to get his nansy panzy hands dirty in football business...

Gawd i miss the art modell days when this team was just as ruthless and mean as rooneys team...
