Breaking news: Quinn dealt to Broncos

by Ed Valentine on Mar 14, 2010 6:13 PM EDT in News Comment 26 comments

What, exactly, are the Cleveland Browns doing? Brady Quinn traded to Denver. Derek Anderson cut. The incredibly mediocre Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace brought in.

Thank God we aren't Browns fans. Oh, and I guess there will be a little QB controversy with Quinn and Kyle Orton in Denver.

delhomme

While delhomme may be average at best, can you say the same for anderson or quinn? Not just yet.

I think the jets letting go of jones and potentially brining in “unfortunate initials” is a drop in talent.

The east has been fairly quiet in free agency, biggest move being rolle. While Antrel is clearly overpaid he fills a huge need.

My vote is for mcclain if he is available in the draft. If not trade out and collect picks unless one of the tackles really stands out on the Gmen scouting reports.

Your draft strategy is sound

as are more than a few others proposed by BBVers. What the Giants do in this year’s draft is raising the most intriguing possibilities in recent memory.

Your right this is nuts..I don't think Delhomme is done yet..

But he sure isn’t a horse I would put any money on.

All I can say is "Wow!"

Clearly the Browns are drafting a QB early

Plus Wallace has run in Holgrems system

He may be the starter this year

by DoctorK16 on Mar 14, 2010 6:32 PM EDT reply actions

Delhomme...

LOL!

He doesn’t even have Steve Smith to bail him out there…so all those throws will be INT’s too!

I’d assume Holmgren has a clue what he’s doing tho…

Browns also traded Kamerion Wimbley...

OLB to Oakland. Supposedly for one of their two third-round picks this year. Wonder if that means they have a deal in place for Morrison? Oakland’s bloggers seem to think the Raiders may be looking to revamp into a 3-4 and would want McClain and a NT via draft/trade.

by Cranky50 on Mar 14, 2010 7:17 PM EDT reply actions

That was...

My immediate thought as in Morrison to Big Blue, but read they have another 3rd round pick
from the Pats for Derrick Burgess (prior to start of last season).

My Bad.

You said two. third round picks..but you know where the other came from.

An OLB doesn't replace Morrison at MLB

by sunlion333 on Mar 15, 2010 11:08 AM EDT up reply actions

True, but drafting McClain ahead of us....

and replacing their second #3 pick with sending Morrison elsewhere covers it for them. Gatsby, I believe (from memory) the second #3 pick they had was from New England acquired in a trade.

I heard Quinn

was just taken to the emergency room because of a frozen grin…..

I like what they're doing

They’re re-building in an aggressive way. Trade all of their busts or disappointments and start from draft & coaching. Jake Delhomme? Idk about that one

by Nfpdawg on Mar 14, 2010 7:55 PM EDT reply actions

My thoughts would be

Sit Delhomme back there to get killed by opposing defenses, and keep a rookie healthy on the bench for a year.

Draft #7?

The draft, Spot #7 where they pick, it’s got to be a QB now right?
Who can run the Holmgren offence? Bradford? Claussen? Maybe McCoy early in round #3?

If we keep this conversation Giants oriented, does this possibly take another suitor out of the McClain sweepstakes? I’m not sure, because no one thought Quinn was any good, nor will they think Delhomme is any good. So their needs have not really changed. I just thought they could have gotten more for Quinn.

Browns seeking another overrated ND QB?

Imagine back to back South Bend to Cleveland QB busts.

by DukBudr on Mar 14, 2010 8:52 PM EDT reply actions

Quinn is absolutely terrible

Not really that big of a deal in the overall scheme of the NFL

by mclaren_is_the_best on Mar 15, 2010 12:07 AM EDT reply actions

Clearly, Mangini was able to ...

convince Holmgren that he had inherited a bunch of shit for a roster. I hope JR is looking it over right now to see if there are any good players that can be had cheap.

by Shofner85 on Mar 15, 2010 7:34 AM EDT reply actions

I really think Mangini is trying to get fired

why else would he make this move without really even giving brady a chance. the guy is tard. bye bye job after 2010

Please Mets.. over .500 this year? Please??

by Plaxico Burress on Mar 15, 2010 12:11 PM EDT reply actions

It was Holmgren, who’s the GM now.

Brady Quinn sucked too.

I never thought Brady Quinn was that terrible

I might be a bit biased since im an Irish fan but i really think hes going to do OK if given a chance and decent supporting cast.

They never really gave him a shot IMO. They threw him in there for like 3 games, yanked him and called it quits on him.

He had no talent to work with

They had one good year with Anderson, but he was throwing to Braylon Edwards, Dante Stallworth, and Kellen Winslow. They got rid of or lost all of those playmakers. Anderson couldn’t do jack with what was left. Somehow they expected Quinn to magically make it all better? The kid was put in a BS situation. You can’t look good throwing the football if you’ve got nobody on the other end to catch it. Quinn was stuck working with players that probably wouldn’t even make other teams rosters. I bet Quinn has much more success in Denver where he will be in a good system with some talent around him. McDaniels is a dink, but he’s pretty good with getting the most out of QBs.

Peyton Hillis is worth more than Brady Quinn!

Now they can free Jerome Harrison.
