We do need playmakers but it is clear to me that the QB position regardless of who is the qb is NOT the most detrimental. Anderson was horrible but so was the entire offensive team and playcalling. This game and the one against pittsburgh in two weeks are good comparison samples against the same exact team within the year the team can see who is better to lead the team next year offensively.

OK, lets make a little more fair, BQ has only played in 13 career games

336 attempts

174 completions

51.8% completion percentage

1836 yards

10 td's

7 ints

with a QB rating 68.65%

DA over his last 16 games, keep in mind this is with 3 more games

437 attemps

208 completions

47.5% completion percentage

2296 yards

11 td's (only one more than Quinn, three more games)

17 int's (ten more in three more games)

51.35% QB rating

Look at the numbers, get off of BQ's back, your boy DA if a friggen bum! Quinn is out performing him, and is getting stronger as he closes in on a full season, while DA is going downhill fast the more he plays! Keep BQ, he is not the problem, cut DumbAss ass soon as possible, he is an average backup at best, while BQ may yet develop into something worth keeping in the future.

its all over the web. he is accusing them of faking injuries. what a loser. also says that tackling a receiver in the end zone is not a penalty. at least with the lions we have something to look forward too. the browns are the worse franchise in sports. the coach has to be the biggest loser in the world. makes me wonder if the injuries that stopped the clock with the browns were faked? usually the accuser is the worst. all i know is that Cleveland sucks. period.

You must be Retarded, Calvin Johnson tackled Hank Poteat not the other way around, go back to the tapes idiot, not to mention the fact that before any sort of penalty occured at all Pool already had the ball on the ground, the refs xxxxed up. Stay in detroit and get killed in the gang war, you are a waste of oxygen if you actually think the way you say you do

@tampadawgs said:

fort those who say it was the Lions, well they were saying the same thing, we are playing the Browns......

We still need a playmaker on the Offense.....

Quinn looked great, I hope he does this the rest of the season then we do not need to draft a QB

I like Jennings, but still not a gamebreaker, still need a RB

Defense, what can you say, they were HOT TRASH....

We are the worse team in the NFL..... Detriot is a better team...sorry its true

I will say it was fun to watch thou....

[/quo

Either that or we got xxxxed on that last play call, we are better than detroit, just got xxxxed again, kinda like in pit, just sayin...your an idiot

Just for the record, there was NO pass int by poteat, rather johnson tackled him, so if anything it should have been offensive int and game over, also, the flags came in AFTER pool had already made the pick, can someone please explain to me how the hell you can interfere with a pass after someone already caught it?!?!?

OMG, and not one person said a thing about it! Or did I miss something??

i didnt hear about it until after the game in a local news broad cast. www.fox8.com theres not much out there yet, but unfortunately it appears to be true

The game ended with Quinn throwing short to Cribbs, who was drilled by Ravens nose tackle Brandon McKinney as the clock expired. Cribbs laid motionless in the middle of the field for several minutes before he was taken off the field on a cart.

This is a quote from fox 8 news in cleveland, doesn't look good, now our entire offense is gone. I just wanted to get this info out there

If Mangini is not impressed with either QB this guy looks pretty good.

Jake Locker #10 QB 128 Rating

Hometown FERNDALE, WA

Height 6-3

Weight 226 lbs.

Class Junior

Stats!

So you wanna take a flyer on a kid from washington? really? I'd rather see sam bradford or chris pike, and they are two more DA's in the making. Spend the money, draft Colt McCoy, he is the best QB in the draft as far as accuracy, and oh by the way, he can run too. just sayin.

@alendor said:

your actually right, DA lost the preseason comp. he shoulda been traded, and mangini shoulda followed what he said, given the winner the whole season. if BQ didn't show that he coudl improve, you make a move for a new qb, simple as that. you never keep the loser of a qb contro, or you get the results we have had for the past 10 years. the wildest thing tho in all this is mangini has chosen to play the QB that is doing worse. where most people would play the better QB. its like a bizzaro world

I almost wonder if Mangini knew quinn would fail that horribly, because DA has unfortunately played pretty well if you discount 14 drops in the last two weeks. The fact is, no matter what qb you run out their on sundays, if you can't establish the run and your receivers can't catch, they will fail. Back to BQ for a second, with as bad as he looked in the first 2 1/2 games this year, even i can't support putting him back in, and thats sad, because at the beginning of the year i was a devout supporter of him at the beginning of the year and have been off the DA band wagon since late in 2007.

@solon16 said:

Read this from erie pa writer....lol

I would imagine Quinn feels like the oil tanker captain who went on vacation the week before the Exxon Valdez accident and returned to find out the drunk guy who drove the ship into the reef was keeping his job.

Ya, that sounds about right, the one thing you have to keep in mind with both qbs is that we are leading the lead in drops by so much right now that if they don't drop another one for the rest of the year we will still probably finish first in that category

@lemosley01 said:

Favre thinks Mangini should have benched him; why didn't Favre bench himself? He's not some new rookie trying to earn a place on the squad. As a veteran wouldn't he know when he is too hurt to play, shouldn't he?

My guess is Mangini asked is Favre was good to go, and Favre said yes, not wanting to end his 'consecutive starts' streak.

Methinks the non-benching was all about Brett, just like his excuses are all about Brett.

It also seems there is more friction between him and Mangini than some were claiming. If they were such good buddies, I really doubt Favre would throw him under the bus.

Damn shame he wasn't injure and out for the season last week.

Mangini wanted to bench Farve, the owners wouldn't let him, dont look down the food chain here look up to the gm and the owner. They are the ones that insisted on sticking with Farve

not Mangini. Farve cost him his job, why on earth would any coach allow that to happen for any reason?

@fooleeze said:

I don't see a problem adding a veteran for depth. He won't start, but adding veteran depth is a fine plan.

If Poteat hits the field we are screwed, I don't mind adding depth as long as they can contribute, he can't. Give me half his contract and I promise to suck just as bad.

@theclevelandsound said:

Well if your an athiest like me I guess it is wrong.

Cribbs at linebacker? Atheism has nothing to do with it, and yes you spelled that wrong too moron, he is WAY too small to play linebacker, but as a FS he fits the bill almost perfectly, speed, hands, aggressiveness, oh and by the way, that shouldn't really impact the rest of his game if we use him as a role player. Oh wait! There's more!! Seeing as he played QB in college, pretty sure he will be able to use that experience to read the offense. Huh, that's weird, a QB who can tell what the offense is going to do, never thought of that one before......

Cribbs is a beast and will excel in any role that you give him; as far a durability goes, have you seen what he does on special teams? I wouldn't worry about him being hurt too often because he plays safety, so yeah why not?, He can still return kicks, and line up in the "WildDawg" (even though we did it before Miami) and still play safety, Oh!, and New England had Brown line up at WR and S in the same game more than a few times and with Cribbs' versatility I don't see why we can't do that here.

tim tebow as a left guard.

we still need a center and he is the ultimate athlete right?

@clevelandfanforlife said:

considering that we were bad with savage getting an A, it is probably a good thing that we got a bad grade. we will shock the world this year when we go 16-0.

You are an idiot if you actually believe that we will finish better than 9-7

I don't like how they are doing in FA for the simple fact that we already went through Butch Davis only signing Miami guys and now we have to go through Butch Jr. only signing Jets FAs? Really? I mean,they weren't that good last year, so signing all of the FAs that we can from them is going to make us better, at least Savage was able to escape his last organization, the new regime can't seem to do that.
