NFL executive: Browns' quarterback situation is shaky
-
Im a big Quinn supporter, but I do believe there is the chance he doesnt pan out. If thats the case I say we go after 1 or 2 NFL young backups
Colt Brennan
and
Troy Smith
Colt has flashed some amazing ability in preseason games amassing a rather large number of touchdowns. He's just hasnt been given a shot, he has had a chip on his shoulder since high school. Oh and John Madden thinks he's the second coming!
Troy, the true hometown hero. He's inconsistent but still has yet to throw a pick in an NFL game. He has a GREAT arm, very mobile, and decently accurate (more than DA).

I think Mangini already has his backup ready. Ratliff.that's why we got him in the trade. Rumor had it he could have won the starting job in New York. The Trade of Ratliff to Cleveland guarenteed the qb pick by the Jets. If they did not make that trade with us.. They likey would NOT have taken a QB in the first round. Just something to think about.. I am excited to see him in preseason.. Maybe he is the darkhorse none of us are seeing in this QB mix. I doubt he's ready yet.. But I hear good things..

Agreed. It just amazes me when people want to make Flacco into some stud quarterback based on the way he played last year. He may have played well FOR A ROOKIE, but he's far from proving anything.He had what I call an incredible margin of error with that defense and strong running game. It was the TYPE of margin of error that made winning a Superbowl possible for a doofus like Dilfer in the same rat dump.
As I've been saying for at least a month, we gave Dumb Ass 2 games where our defense only gave up 10 points (DA couldn't win either). Trouble was Dumb Ass gave up 7 in one of those games he remained careless as our offense couldn't score a TD in either of those. Flacco was winning those kinds of games because he had something between the ears telling his eyes "don't throw to the different color jersey." DA doesn't have that. Therefore, how much more time and millions of dollars do we need to waste on DA?

The Browns are slowly building a core group of players on both sides of the ball. When Mangini is finished tinkering with the players he has and will draft we will be left with an offense that you can plug in any qb. It will help if the qb's a Palmer or Manning etc. but it won't be absolutly needed.
A qb who doesn't lose games is just as good as one who wins games, when surrounded by quality teammates.
