Comments on the Browns' trade of Charlie Frye, as posted on cleveland.com:

I would have rather traded [Derek] Anderson! Hopefully [Brady] Quinn will start this Sunday regardless. The fans deserve something to look forward to. - brownsfan24

Frye still can't decide what to do with the ball. Anderson does. Cincinnati specializes in turnovers, and the offensive line still needs more reps together. Yeah that's a great time to start a rookie QB who missed eighteen practices.

How bad will [Romeo] Crennel and company look if they give Quinn the start on Sunday and he destroys Cincy's defense. That is exactly why they will not start him. - nospin33

And Crennel was the second shooter in Dallas.

Good luck Charlie. You've been rescued from this sinking ship. - DawgHouse7

In my opinion, we tossed the wrong guy. The buck stops with the coach, and ours is a BUM. - RageIn216

That remains to be seen, Spazzboy. All the crap that happened last season, the personnel turnover, the new system, the injured linemen and Charlie's indecision were not the Coach's fault. You might be right, but it'll be luck. Write "Blind" in front of your handle.

Too bad we could not have gotten a solid [defensive] back [in return]. - falchoon

This after one game with a rookie starter and a couple blown assignments.

Let's see, our starting QB is pulled out in the second quarter of the first game and traded two days later, then unsigned Ken Dorsey is brought in and could possibly start game two? Boy, Romeo sure knows what he's doing doesn't he? - Jizy

Evidently you don't hate Savage. How convenient for you.

A team is only as good as management. Take a look at the leader. - NeedChg

I am. Let's see how he does with a trace of stability.

What does it tell you that OUR first-game starter is picked up by another team to be their third string QB? - tribefan59

Second string. They're moving the other guy back to WR, genius.

The only people dumber than Browns management are the fools that keep on filling that stadium at $50/seat after all these years of losing! - wwjd2007

Make it stoppleaseplease I can't stand it blahblah wahh-wahh oh God--

If he'd seized the opportunity he was given to establish himself as the undisputed starter, the Browns wouldn't be in this mess. - ksuflash87

WHEW! Intelligent life in Cleveland!

It wasn't all that long ago that the fans were chanting, WE WANT CHARLIE, WE WANT CHARLIE. - MrCommonSens

How long will it be before Brady gets booed of the field by drunken, boorish so-called fans? - bjvjev

About two series, dude! And you said it! Every deflected interception, blindside strip/sack, dropped third down and TD pass, penalty, and coaching lapse will be all his fault. The first time he's down by thirteen and has to force it or die, that will be his fault too.

The line will now have had two whole entire weeks together! Yeah! And Shaffer has a whole game under his belt at right tackle...Thomas at left! Should be a massive improvement and they should just steamroll the Bengals this week, right?

Freakin' idjuts.

YOU STAND CORRECTED.
