Couch
Holcomb
Frye

Poor Brady, he came so close to actually having a chance at an NFL career.

This is a great pick for the Browns. They showed they are devoted to protecting the QB when they drafted Joe Thomas in the first round and signed key free agents. I think its nice having Frye there so Brady is not thrown into the mix. Even though im not a big fan of Quinn, I still like the agressiveness of Phil Savage. They say that Quinn is not good in big games......but when is the last time anyone seen Cleveland in a big game?:scratchchin:

I am extemely happy with this draft. I really wanted Thomas but thought the only options were AP, Quinn, and trading down.

I love that he wants to be a Brown.

For me it wasn't so much of being against getting Quinn. I just felt, and have felt for some time, that the o-line needed addressed. I also felt that Quinn was not worthy of a top 3 pick. Getting him at 22 or wherever we got him is great.

warren1st,

Brady is going to get dumped on his butt. Another Cleveland Browns QB for the worse...Couch, Holcomb, Garcia...those three were chewed up and spit out big time! And Brady just might be #4.

The Browns made great picks all weekend including the DB from UNLV---- most people had him rated #1 CB in the draft before his run ins with the law(hopefully he learned a lesson and takes advantage of this chance). He is the cover corner they were missiing the past 5 years!

I am not a big Brady Quinn guy myself but thinks he is far better than the QB's the Browns have currently on the roster. The organization addressed the oline in free agency and then drafted the best olineman on the board. I think they will much improved next season.

Yes, Monte81 says it all. Brady is better than the QBs the Browns have right now. I like Frye being from Akron and all, But he is a good back up at best. The Browns finally have been addressing the Oline and got the best lineman in Joe Thomas on the board and Brady will have an extra chip on his shoulder to beat the other 20 teams that passed him up especially the Dolphins with that 9th pick.

Keno you can try to spin it how you like. But the fact is most of the "experts" are saying the Browns did an excellent job.

"When Quinn dropped farther than anyone predicted, there was a flurry of activity to acquire him. The Browns did the right thing going for broke to select the quarterback they hope will lead them into the future."

The Steelers are getting an average grade of B-/C.

Did you freaking people watch ANY of the Notre Dame Broadcasting Company (NBC) games this year? This guy didn't win a big game all year. Geez Louise, PLEASE keep your money in your pocket if that clown is starting.

um they also gave up a ton points... how many games with massillons great offense do you think we would have won if we gave up 44+ points a game?

What does that have to do with the fact that Notre Dame had the opportunity to win almost ALL of those games and your new Savior didn't come through. You know what? I'm done arguing this. We'll know the answer in a couple of years, and yes, I will STILL be around. And Lord have Mercy on you when I shout this "I TOLD YOU SO" from the mountaintop!! LOL.

He's better than any QB that Tampa Bay has, Carle!

I gave him a lot of crap when he was at ND but that fact is all he had for receivers was Jeff SZakhdkajhfkdhjida and freaking Rhema McKnight. You put him with Ohio State's receivers and it's a different story.

The bottom line is that we got the best offensive lineman in the draft, the 2nd best quarterback, and the 2nd best cornerback. There is no way you can spin this draft other than to say, RIGHT NOW, that we KILLED it.

Keno is just scared because he knows the tide is turning. Piece by piece his Steelers are crumbling. Pretty soon he'll be rooting for the likes of Bubby Brister and Louis Lipps again.

Believe me, as an Ohio State fan I did not shed many tears when Notre Dame lost some games. But let's look at the reality of the situation. Their offensive and (especially their) defensive lines were slow and undersized. They got squashed by Michigan, whose lines outweighed those of the Irish by nearly 30 pounds. It was even worse in the blowout against LSU, where QB Jamarcus Russell outweighed some of the Irish defensive lineman. Don't forget that Quinn's most potent receiver from last season Jeff Samardzija is playing baseball in the minors.

Quinn has won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given to the nation's top senior quarterback, and the Maxwell Award as college football's top player. He set 35 program records at the school and I think we can all agree there have been a few decent QB's to set foot on that campus.

Look no one can predict with 100% certainty whether this guy will be the next Joe Montana or Ryan Leaf. But to put the blame solely on his shoulders for the recent Notre Dame blowups isn't accurate. Notre Dame as a team just wasn't that good.

This is obviously the result of a wild weekend talking here. Bro, I'm not saying he WON'T be as good someday, but believe me we have a couple of QBs better than him. Hell, if he were that good, and as much as Gruden loves QBs we would have taken him at 4. Let's not forget that 21 freaking teams passed on this guy MTown. We are NOT looking at Joe Montana here. And I PROMISE you that if it wasn't the Clowns that drafted him you would all be on the same page as me.

MTown,

You are so freaking crazy. You better be worrying less about my Steelers and focus on the Phoenix Suns...if they get down 0-2 to San Antonio, you might as well start getting my Subway extra value meal because they won't come back against the tougher Spurs.

Man I can't wait till you eat your words September 9th......

I saw Brady Quinn live this year at Notre Dame against Stanford and he appeared to be just another average college quarterback. All he did was throw those short little dink passes to the sidelines and the tight end over the middle. Nothing spectacular. Also, missed everything deep. Very methodical offense. I came away much more impressed with their running back.

Personally, I don't see a big difference between Quinn and Frye, except Frye probably has better wheels.

I disagree. Again, I not a Quinn apologist, but he's not lacking mobility. His run against USC this year is testament to that. Granted, he's not going to do that in the NFL, but he's not a statue like Bernie Kosar or Drew Bledsoe.

The bottom line is Frye is not the answer at QB for the Browns. The Cleveland organization has been a joke for years now and they had to take a chance. It may not pan out but some risk had to happen.

Btw, if Quinn had gone to Pittspuke, Keno would change his tune. (and he's lying if he says he wouldn't)

PDC,

I would have LOVED Quinn if he had come to Dennis Miller's sanctified hometown.

But he's a Cleveland Brown and you know how the Steelers are. Believing in that physical bone-breaking football...imposing their championship will and tradition on other teams, winning.

Having said that...I almost have to feel bad for Joe Theismann getting axed after one year on MNF. He summed up the Steelers tradition best!

Well hold on now.....you're saying that he's not going to be as good as Joe Montana and use the fact that he was taken 21st to justify your point. I'm sure you know the 49ers took him in the 3RD ROUND...meaning even the Niners passed on him TWICE. You can never tell how good a QB will be until they play NFL games. Which is why you can have Ryan Leaf's and Payton Mannings.

And yes....I am a Homers Homer, and if Quinn had gone anywhere else I would have buried him. But because he is a Cleveland Brown, there is much jubilation.

AND I WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THAT!

I agree 100%.

And is Joe Theissman so starved for attention , after getting booted from Monday Night Football, that he has to take cheap shots at Quinn? He called him unprofessional because he had longer hair on draft day and was chewing gum. Hello, Joe, longer hair is "in." Does he know that there are players who had afros and mullets in the Hall of Fame? And perhaps the kid was chewing on gum because he was nervous that your network kept shoving cameras in his face every few seconds. I think he handled the situation just fine.

"Theismann, an ESPN sportscaster recently replaced on ESPN's Monday Night Football by Ron Jaworski and relegated to ESPN's college coverage, managed to push his way back into the edges of the national spotlight by commenting on new Browns quarterback Brady Quinn. The comments were made on ESPN's Mike and Mike radio program (carried locally on ESPN 850). "

After reviewing the training camp grade so far on Quinn--- he just might be a good fit with the Browns. On paper the offense looks great but will they perform. I think Romeo just may have bought him a few more years because I am going out on a limb and say Cleveland ends the season 10-6 or 9-7. Jamall Lewis will bring a much needed ground attack to help our young QB and Wr's.

I am going with Mtown and LTFT here. I feel Brady was a very good qb on a poor team. I especially agree about all the records at ND. Now that he is in the NFL, let's see what direction he goes. Hopefully, at least I'm praying, it is more like Manning than Leaf.

"Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, who isn't one of quarterback Byron Leftwich's biggest boosters, wanted to take Brady Quinn with the team's first-round draft pick, according to a source. But vice president of player personnel James Harris, who makes the final call on personnel decisions, decided to take safety Reggie Nelson instead."
