Quinn will be to the Browns what King James is to the Cavs. Bottom line when you want something done right recruit the homegrown! Go Brownies!!!!
I say: Just a tad optimistic.
"In the end, the two men who had gone through so much the past two seasons were finally smiling ear-to-ear after they pulled off the impossible on draft day."

Who are you kidding? As usual, Romeo had nothing to with this. This was Savage's play. And if you really think Quinn can save Romeo from himself, you must have simply had your head in the sand the last two years.
Romeo has proved beyond question, that the NFL head coaching position is far beyond his abilities. He will be fired either during or after the 2007 season, and he will NEVER be offered another head coaching job. He will be picked up by someone as a defensive coordinator, but then after it becomes clear that without Bill Belichek handing him his assignments he's not very good at that either, he'll just fade into oblivion.
It's good to see that the Browns are gathering some talent, at least the next coach will have something to work with. But anyone who truely believes that RAC will ever see .500 in the NFL needs to have his head examined.
I say: This team was all but destroyed by injuries last season, and EIGHT of the key players were rookies. To blame that on any coach is idiotic. I'd play your last line back to you, but you need to get it extracted from your butt first.

The Browns are Cleveland, The fans have suffered terribly since Nov 6,1995 when Art Modell decided to move the franchise to Baltimore.Its been 12 years of total hell. However, The diehard fans have stayed the course (including me) and when we win ( it will be very soon) the taste of a Super Bowl Victory will be so sweet, you will not have an adjective to describe the happiness the fans of Cleveland will have.
BROWNS SUPER BOWL CHAMPS 2009
All the Romeo bashers think about this. He was a D coordinator without Belicheck. For the Browns and coached the only player to make the pro bowl for the Browns since they have been back . That was Jamir Miller. There are several players that are on the cusp of making the pro bowl in Winslow, Sean Jones, Wimbley, and Davis. And a pro bowl alternate from last year in Steinbach. The defense played well enough last year for the team to win more games but the offense couldn't get first downs to keep them off the field. They're talent is improving. If they remain relatively healthy, they will win 7 games next year.
Will you guys still scream for Romeo's head?

Quinn did not win big at ND because of a bad O line and worse defense. He has better physical skills than Matt Leinart and Tom Brady. Yes, Tom was a sixth round pick. He has big heart and was coached up by who? Charlie Weis. The Quinn bashers need to stop. If he had went to OSU, he would be the next coming of Elway. Shut up!!!!!! We got our tackle. A good corner. To much value is being given to this phantom draft pick next year. The 08 class is pretty thin from what I hear. Two other teams gave up their first next year. We would be looking QB next year anyway. Quinn is way better than any of next years QB's. The same people bitching about Brady are the ones who would not shut up about how bad Charlie Frye was. During last season they were talking up Troy Smith. Smith over Quinn!!!!!!! Learn football. Quinn might not be Joe Montana, he will be a Drastic upgrade over Charlie Frye. He was worth the pick. At least the Browns did not sit on their ass in the war room again.

BuckeyeJon14....You are one giant puff of air.If Quinn is just an average QB, the Brown come out ahead. (Since I take it that the 14 at the end of your name is either you age or your IQ you wouldn't know anything about one of the Brown's best QB's; Frank Ryan)As for you living in Chicago, when was the last time the Bears were really special? There is no doubt the Brown's org has been less than competent in fielding teams, and most of us laugh at them too. It has been a pathetic return to the NFL, but getting down on Quinn, using the same talking points used by some talking heads on the boob tube has me wondering if you are not working for the Bush family in some way.Quinn is better than anybody we have on the roster and better than anybody the Bears have, or even the Steelers. Big Ben is pretty good, but what made him look better than he is was the talent backing him up.I would take an average QB in every case over a Michael Vick type. JaMarcus might be the real deal , but even taking him was a chancy proposition for Oakland. If I had a good FB and a above average TE, a good O line and a few decent receivers (hey, that's what the Brown's have!!), a guy like Quinn could soon make you look more like a dope than you seem to be.ESAD
I say: This is great. Intelligent life in Cleveland!
As I've mentioned before, there is some concern about Quinn making a few bad throws per game. I'd be more willing to dismiss this if my sources didn't include Mike Mayok, a former cornerback who's become perhaps THE premier draft expert, Solomon Willcotts, a former safety, and Jim Miller, a former NFL QB. All these guys know when a reciever blows a route or a ball is deflected.
But there are those gaudy numbers, and the rapid improvement in them. With the kind of accuracy those numbers indicate, the bad throws are correctable.
As for the "big game" stuff, I'm pretty sick of everybody laying every victory or defeat on the QB, as if he plays in a vaccuum. It's the same irrational non-logic as the presumption that a Head Coach whose team is just about destroyed by injuries being the cause of a losing record.
The one guy is right about Quinn not needing to be Montana--except that, by the way, Montana always had great talent supporting him. Quinn was the bird in hand, and if Savage didn't nab him now, we'd very possibly be trying to trade up for a new rookie QB, needing a year on the bench, in 2008 anyway.
And this crap about Wright vs. Pac-man is preposterous. According to his teammates, coaches (inc. at USC), professors, counselors, and everybody else that anybody could dig up. Talk about mountains out of mole-hills!
Well, glad to see some rational, knowlegable people up there. Okbye.
