can't you understand anderson's frustration? or any other competitive athlete who wants to win and is trying their damnest and people still rip you up? i'd feel sorry for anyone in any similar situation. hey the guy just got cut from his team. wouldn't you be hurt and a little pissed too. i'm sure he'll change his tune down the road. we fans can be ruthless is right. we want a winner. at least we don't throw molotov cocktails at the goalies of our third world country soccer teams. yet.

The dude got 14 millions dollars. Give me 14 million dollars and you can cut me from any team you want, make fun of me all over the internet, whatever. Tell him to stop crying and take his money and go buy something. If you had one good year at your job, then were one of the worst at your position in the nation and got fired, would you say the company doesn't deserve to put out a good product?

He also won 10 games in 2007. Quinn shit his pants every down he played. Anderson would rather fumble or throw a interception. If you really think Quinn is good.....then you must be blind. I mean no dis respect but come on. We should not have either of these guys in the game. How many games should Quinn have? I say pull the plug on Anderson to.

Stupid statement. Shaun Smith/Ted Washington played NT and won 10 games. Should we bring him back over Shaun Rogers? Shaun Rogers continues to lose games, but we still run him out there every game. Why is that?

Oh yeah, football is a team sport, individuals aren't judged on wins, its how they help the team who tries to win as a whole.

Fraley won 10 games as center in 2007. Bench the Mack kid, Fraley's a winner.

Keep sticking with Jamal Lewis, he won 10 games back in 07, and even more with the Ravens.

Obviously, you get my point. I'm not saying Quinn is the answer, i don't think he is. But he gives us a better shot right now, and neither of their trade values are high so taht doesn't matter.

Well, looks like nothing will happen.

Is it 55 catches total or 55 with the Jets?

that's because it was supposed to be taken as a joke. we have tons of guys from top 25 programs. i thought that was obvious.

Well I missed that. I didn't sense any sarcasm there. My fault.

@clevelandfanforlife said:

not having enough talent to go to a top 25 team definitely fits mangini's mold.

Your basing this off high school recruiting? Some kids enjoy the academic side of school. Suh went to Nebraska due to its engineering program. Were they Top 25 at the time? Mack went to Cal, Top 25? Maiava went to USC, Top 25? Veikune went to Hawaii, who was ranked in the Top 25 plenty in his time there. Davis went to Clemson, who has had plenty of Top 25 time. Robiskie went to Ohio State, Top 25? Mass went to Georgia, Top 25? Francies was originally from Oregon State, who has been in the Top 25.

Your statement doesn't make sense at all

Blount has 0% chance of being a Brown with Mangini's system.

Gerhart would be a great compliment to Harrison/Davis with one of our extra late seconds/third.

Plus, he went to Stanford. That definitely fits the Mangini mold.

With Mays and Berry so good at the top (although I could argue against Mays, he'll be there), some good DBs will drop. A guy like Kurt Coleman, who has been the best player on Ohio State's defense this year, even if he's overshadowed by Gibson, Heyward, and Rolle.

1. What is the last product you purchased specifically because you liked their TV commercial?

Brownie Batter Blizzard at Dairy Queen

2. Is there a Non-North American sports entity (team or whatever) that you have a rooting interest in?

Not personally, but the guy in the room next to me (dorm) is a crazy Chelsea fan.

3. Do you believe Bin Laden is dead or alive?

Alive. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist.

4. Where did you take your last vacation? What is your next vacation destination?

Never been. Anywhere I wish.

5. What colleges did your family attend, (including 2 year and tech colleges)? Include yourself, wife, children, (grandchildren), parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, in-laws.

THE Ohio State University (myself, currently), Lima Tech (mom), Clark State (mom), Edison State (mom), ITT Tech (brother), Indiana (grandma)

Who are some of the top corners coming out next year? We really need a big corner opposite wright that can lay a lick on somebody and help out in the rungame. Any ideas on a big physical corner in the 2nd or 3rd round?

Didn't you watch that video? Suh leads Nebraska in passes broken up. Put him at corner, theres your big hitter.

@lumbergh said:

FYI Brady Quinn starts and the Browns are 0-3 vs the spread.

Anderson starts and the Browns are 3-0 vs the spread.

At least I'm cashing in, so that's good.

Quinns opponents combined record: 11-0

Andersons opponents combined record: 10-6

Excluding Baltimore (3-3) since both played them

I guess we should all be glad that BQ started the first 2.5 games so this thread wouldn't be Derek Anderson and the NFL INT recordbooks.

DA- 6 INT in 3.5 games (1.7 INT/game)(1.18 INT/game career)

Sanchez-10 INT in 6 games (1.66 INT/game)

I have no problem with DA starting right now. I would rather have BQ just because theres still that chance he could break out, but this season is lost, and I hope we don't get a QB this offseason unless its a Vet stopgap because we have many other holes to fill. But its not like Sanchez is worse than what we have here, in fact he's light years ahead of what we have. However, I'm glad we didn't draft him. He would be better than what we have now, but won't be a franchise QB in the long term.

@dabrowns41 said:

Imagine how great this OL could be if we can get an effective RG and RT?

Fraley filled in great, but he's obviously not the future at the position. Mack made great strides, and he's showing me that we may not have effed that pick up.

I'm loving a line that starts with JT, Steinbach, and Mack.

Are you the same DB41 from FF?

Braylon? Monday Night? National TV? New York? Big Media? Lots of hype? Good QB?

Raise your hand if you DIDN'T see this coming.

*crickets*

Lendale is one of those prima donnas who is ME first. Mangini won't want him. Plus he hates the whole state of Ohio.

Although he may want to step on some more Terrible Towels.

@lumbergh said:

Jerome will probably get his chance on Sunday with Jamal and James banged up. I watched Harrison at WAZZU. He was a hell of an RB and was arguably better than Reggie Bush. Runner up Pac-10 POY. He's underrated as a tough inside runner.

I expect Jamal to be fine, and for him to still get the bulk of carries, but for the Ghost to actually have a large role in the offense, even having them both in when we're in the shotgun.

And yes, I believe Harrison even had more yards than Bush his senior year, IIRC?

@shepwrite said:

I think the passer rating is actually pretty good -- Yards Per Attempt is the equivalent of Slugging Percentage: The bottom line is, how many yards do you get for your team each time you pass the ball? It's the bottom line in many ways. If you're picked, it's zip.

Then the next big issue is TDs versus INTs. So it really is logical.

Sluggin Percentage!

Ah you caught the eye of a resident sabermetrician with that one shep. Even though slg may be a weak sabermetric.

BTW Furrey did play the whole game, he just wasn't getting open.

@bradyquinnisbeast said:

Why couldnt we just send someone to the IR.

Because there is no one that is going to be out all season.

And I'd take all 4 of our RBs over Jennings anytime, even at 75%

They'll all be good to go, sans maybe Peerman. Don't worry about it

Cam Heyward is really helping his draft stock so far. I think we could really use him as a 34 DE. We are pretty good there, but we need some youth. Heyward is an absolute force
