maybe RAC and savage were trying to pump up Andersons trade value; ie "almost as good as charlie". Of course Anderson blew that last night...wait maybe the chiefs could use a QB..!

I don't understand this board. People are already clamoring for Quinn after the FIRST preseason game. A game where our starter, CF, went 12-15 with 122 yards. Sure he made a couple mistakes--I counted two; but thats no reason to get down on him. Its the first freaking game. Plus, Joe Thomas had two holding penalties---thats two big mistakes and no one seems to want to kick him to the curb.
This is exactly why I didn't want Quinn---because all season long a bunch of football illiterate fanboys will be calling for him even though he has never played a down in the league. Truly ridiculous. Idiocy at its finest.
3 BIG mistakes.
His first throw SHOULD HAVE been an INT, it was an ugly throw to Winslow
The second mistake is on Harrison as well but it was another UGLY throw.
The third was the boneheaded decision to run it in when 10 seconds left and no timeouts.
That being said, I was otherwise impressed, even though it was the first team OL against the 2nd team D.

I'm still not buying into the whole coin flip thing,,,,,,, Just not! I think it's RAC having fun with the press and the press running with it and SOME fans falling for it also,,,, Just another thing for some to complain about..
Sorry, no disrespect intended,,, but it's just a silly notion,,,,

Charlie did Ok last night..., couple of bone head moves,.. perhaps some opening night jitters,, perhaps newness of the Offense,, who knows.. But all in all, if we had to make a choice based solely on last night,,, Frye wins the job and Anderson gets shipped out in a hurry to make room for Quinn.
Dorsey didn't embarass himself. That Safety was as much a line and coverage issue as anything and I"m not gonna hold it against him solely.
Other wise, he moved the O fairly well.
SO right now, for me anyway the roster looks like this;
Frye
Dorsey
Quinn (I have to put him last, he hasn't done anything yet, it will change soon)
ANDERSON,,,,, GONZO

Your way off base here. Try this on for size:
FIRST game of preseason---there will be mistakes.
Should have been an interception???? What does that even mean. It was an incompletion---thats it, no matter what you try to make it out to be.
And again, Joe Thomas had a couple holding calls--holding calls will KILL a drive, so those too are "BIG mistakes."
Frye looked good, his numbers were on the mark, I'll look for him to assert himself throughout the rest of preseason and tighten his grasp on the starting position. Book It.

I guess Anderson is in on the joke too when he said he called tails.
But....it doesn't matter. Romeo has set his table before this ever happened.

You have two guys fighting for a job, of which there are only 32 of those jobs in the WORLD....
And only 32 people that get paid to make the "hard decisions" about starting them and playing them. I expect as much or more accountability out of their 32 "bosses" who make these calls than the guys playing the position of QB.
I guess maybe the QB's should start flipping a coin in the huddle on which way to go with an aubible. That would look professional. But hey,it would only be pre-season.
And exactly what has RAC done to show HE deserves to keep one of the only 32 head coaching job in the NFL? What's he done to "set himself apart" or "step up"?
I say by the end of the season,a coin flip should decide his future. I mean Lerner has every right. It's no big deal. I would hope you guys wouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill.
All RAC had to do was say,"Nobody has seperated themselves so I'm going to split time with the first team between both of them." That frickin' simple!
Basic crap. Instead,he looks like a moron.Haven't we seen enough of that without our head coach doing it as a self inflicted wound? Excuse it all you want.. It was pure bush league................

All you have to do is go to the main site anmd look at BOTH Charlie and Derricks post game interviews in video.
If I hadn't seen them BOTH say it and describe it,I wouldn't have believed it myself Damon. And listen to Charlie? He tries to distance himself from saying "what he thought about it" to the press. It's truely sad.

Ok, Ok, OK, you got me there, ----------NOT----------
Frye stunk, how you like that one. First pre-season game or not, you never forget that there is a clock, and you have no time-outs, going into the half, BEHIND.. So, the seasoned vet decides to run the ball, instead of sticking with the play and throwing it to the RB, you know, the guy running waving his hands at the same time, never the goal-line.. But Frye being "skittish" decided to tuck and stutter step to the endzone. Well, we all know how that ended.. THAT is a mindless mistake, and he knows better, or should know better..
I thought the coin flip thing was classic.. Thats saying " hey I dont know who is better, because neither stepped up" so it is what it is.. And again, I'm sure he will be thinking the same thing.. Because neither were good.. Yes, Frye did move the ball, but not in the first series, or the second, and didnt get a TD.. Sooooo, yeah, I cant wait for Brady..

I SAW both Charlie and Derrick admit it and describe it. Go to the main site and look at their post game interviews for yourself. I didn't "buy into it" untill I SAW BOTH QB's admit it happenned and describe it.
And I'm not buying into some conspiracy theory that they "all ganged up together" to pull the wool over peoples eyes.

PPE.....no, it isn't the end of the world, but don't try to diminish the sad fact this was handled this way. Is this how you want decisions made?? Yes or no is all that is needed.  OK....I won't be a Richard...like I said somewhere earlier....I agree, the guy was probably trying to have some fun with this and demonstrate the guys were equal at this/that point. None the less....it is poor form. I also posted somewhere in Romeos defense...if a team or two are sniffing around, it could have been his way.....Phil's way to keep from tipping which guy we really want to trade and which we really want to keep. No matter which guy we really want....if someone offers something, he is gone. IMO that is.

Did you bother to look at the post game interviews of Charlie and Derick Damon? I provided a link. Are you suggesting Charlie,Derick and RAC are in a conspiracy mode to fool,the media,the fan base and sportwriters across the nation?

General reply: I say next week they have a steel cage match to determine the starter, see who wants it more. (yes reference to Hafner last year at the All-Star break) That is, of course, if Frye hasn't claimed it already.

A-G-E-N-D-A What's that spell? AGENDA!!!! Yaaaaaayy!  You seriously have your panties this bunched up over who takes the first series in a preseason game? Do you honestly believe that this was "deciding their careers" as you try to paint it? If so... man, you are deluded and/or overly dramatic about this. As for your coaching analogy, you're completely off the mark, but nice attempt to paint a very slanted picture (and claiming otherwise is complete BS and you know it)... a fair comparison would be to have a coin flip between RAC & Grantham to see which will be the head coach every other offensive series in the next preseason game.... and if neither one has proven to be a better coach than the other after months of direct competition in the same job, then yeah, I'd be fine with it; flip away... or I'd say just can em both and let the new kid run with it. Peen, you think it is poor form, I disagree. In the overly sensitive, 'politically correct paranoid' world we live in now where we should all fear hurting someone's feelings? Yeah, ok... in that world it is poor form. I don't see the NFL as living in that world though. I don't see this as a big deal at all. I definitely do not see it as some cataclysmic leadership failure like it is beginning to get painted as. Whether RAC was just having fun with it or if he was dead-serious and trying to motivate through humiliation, or perhaps he was being the nice guy and just said to them "you guys are going to split reps... do you want to flip for who goes in first?"... I don't see it as a big deal. We are talking about flipping a coin for who takes the first series in the first preseason game.... not "for the first qtr or the first half"... just the first SERIES...after which they will alternate being "the Man" for the rest of the half. It did NOT decide who our starter is. It did NOT decide their careers. It did NOT even decide who is starting next week. Hell, all we know is that a coin was flipped... for all we know it went like this: RAC: You guys are dead even and are going to alternate series' in the first half... who wants to go first? Frye: .... Anderson .... RAC: oookay, we'll just flip a damned coin then....way to step up, show leadership and take charge, dumbasses.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Nope! It's about the decision making process involved by our head coach. Actually it's the lack there of.
Who started is irrelivant. It was the Mickey Mouse way RAC handled it.
Quote:

Nope! But I do think it is a very telling sign that our head coach is very poor in his decision making. Lacks the ability to handle such a "tough call" in a professional manner.

When your head coach lets a quarter make the call for him,I think that's a big deal under any circumstance. If you think that's in any way a professional manner to handle ANY situation in the NFL,that's on you buddy.

Actually I think we have two head coaches now. Grantham and Chud. I've seen nothing from "the coach" to give him credit for the job. I call him "the coach" because from all appearances,I'm not sure we've signed him yet. I mean if he had "mentaly shown up" for camp,I feel he should be expected to "do his job" and make a tough decision without relying on a quarter.

I wont even go on to #'s 2 - 10 in the RELEVANCY category here .. actuallyit should be IRRELIVENCY .... U an Peenie need to go take the rope down from the tree and then take the noose out of it and store it until he actually makes a DECISION THAT MATTERS IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS ...

Why don't you quit trying to read cystal balls and watch. We'll know here real soon if..............
no running game
no pocket
consistant drops and the wrong routes ran by the WR's
.................were more of the problem than Frye was. Because right now,you don't know any more than the rest of us.
Frye had no running game and no protection.
Was the bulk of his problem "trying to make something out of nothing"? Trying too hard? Feeling that the entire formula of success was laid squarely on his shoulders because of having NO running game and NO pocket to work from?
Or was it his skill set mainly?
Don't claim to be an expert with the qualifications to answer those questions. Because you're not. No use pretending.
Now his skill set may not equate to being "our QB of the future". But the circumstances that surrounded him may be far more the reasons he looked "worse than he really was".
We'll find out soon enough without people "claiming" to know the answer at this juncture.............
To Pit and Daman:
You guys are freakin' killing me.
Daman, you are so full of crap. There is something about you that just irks the crap out of me and has for some time now. Why don't you just over exaggerate and over dramatize every post you make? You like to take people's opinions and stretch them out to far extremes, and in the process you try to make the person you are responding to look like an idiot.
That's cool, though. I know who the real idiots are on this board. But keep on with your little games. Because that's cool too. People can see through it.
Pit, because I have an opinion that Frye hasn't showed 'signs' that he can get the job done, I don't believe in the team concept?
That's quite a leap there.
I don't know more than the rest of everyone else? You are absolutely correct on that, and I never claim to.
I was simply stating my opinion.
I'm glad we have differing opinions, and I would love to debate with you.
If you ever want to actually debate instead of posting crap, let me know.

Some other stats from QB's around the NFL in their 1st preseason game of 2007
Drew Brees = 1 of 6 for 6 yards
Brett Favre = 2 of 7 for 7 yards
Trent Green = 6 of 15 for 60 yards, 1 INT
Dante Culpepper = 5 of 12 for 78 yards
Matt Leinart = 5 of 11 for 50 yards
Looks like it's time for all these teams to throw these guys under the bus. They didn't play perfect in their 1st preseason game of 2007 which means they stink.

I may not have been PC in my response,but I certainly wasn't "talking crap".
There's 11 guys on the O. I don't believe Charlie is our "franchise QB".
But just last night Jamal caused the opposition to "fear the run",the OL did a much better job of protecting him,and we saw "some" positive results as a result of that.
Charlie didn't stare down his WR's. He made his progression more fluidly. His accuracy was much better.
That was my point although I didn't "spell it out in detail for you".
Without a running game,a pocket and major inconsistancies in route running and dropped passes,your QB loses confidence in his supporting cast.
You will see that in the play of your QB. To not recognise that and overemphasize it as "a QB problem" without sharing the blame evenly across the board,is shortysighted and not looking at "the big picture" IMO.
Now,if you wish to dismiss that,so be it. But that's no reason to call it "crap" just because I made the points blunt and didn't play "connect the dots".

Yet every post I make, I'm expected to connect the dots for you.
It's not fun, huh? When it seems obvious what you are trying to say yet the responses you get seem like people miss the point completely?
Honestly, I knew what you were saying.
But we just have a difference of opinion.
For starters, I've always said I wanted Frye to start this season, and I want him on this team. About three weeks ago, I was clamoring for RAC just to name him the starter and forget about this qb competition. I think we will be sorry if DA starts the season.
My opinion is that he hasn't shown me that he is good enough to go all the way with, however.
I am also of the opinion, that if he was that guy, he would've showed signs inspite of the other shortcomings on the team. Up to this point, I haven't seen any of these 'signs'. Little things that make you think 'we have our qb of the future, we just need to get this guy some help'.
Do I think he'll play better with an improved team? Of course. Will he play good enough to take us all the way someday? I don't think so.
I think Savage and Co. share the same opinion or else we wouldn't have made such an effort to get Quinn.
Could I be 100% wrong? Absolutely. And I'll gladly admit to it if I am.

You're right Pit. Charlie didn't stare down his receivers. Why? Because we now have a very good O-line and he had time. I don't know why some of the genius's on here can't see that. I have no doubt as soon as Charlie has a bad game they will be screaming for Brady, but for now they are our girlfriends.

OMG! Some of you really need to learn to let your hair down and have a little fun! So many people are upset about the whole coin flip incident. When I seen on ESPN that Romeo actually said that a coin flip was going to decide who started, I had to laugh...it was kinda funny. Of course I figured he was just screwing with the media. Then I find out it DID indeed happen and I had to laugh even harder. I mean, that's even funnier imho. The was I see it, it was the first preseason game. Who really cares who takes the first snap. It was nothing more than an organized practice between two teams that gave the coaches a look at live game action as opposed to camp practices. Do I really give a hoot about whether or not he flipped a coin? Nope...cuz I look at it this way. We all know that whoever starts this season at qb is not going to be there long unless they really excel. The starter is going to be the person who gives us the best chance of winning until BQ is ready to step in and take over...be it week 4, week 8, next season. Now is the time to evaluate what these other 3 qb's have to offer and who will be the best able to fill that temporary starter position. So maybe Romeo had a little fun with it and made the coin flip comment to the media. Maybe it just carried over and Romeo and CF and DA had a little fun with it and actually carried the idea out and did the coin flip. So what...the results were still the same. CF showed what he had to offer and DA did the same. DA just showed that he has less to offer than CF, wouldn't have mattered who took the first snap, the results would have been the same. Just relax, it is no big deal...imho!

My opinion is that he hasn't shown me that he is good enough to go all the way with, however.
I am also of the opinion, that if he was that guy, he would've showed signs inspite of the other shortcomings on the team. Up to this point, I haven't seen any of these 'signs'. Little things that make you think 'we have our qb of the future, we just need to get this guy some help'.
Do I think he'll play better with an improved team? Of course. Will he play good enough to take us all the way someday? I don't think so.
I think Savage and Co. share the same opinion or else we wouldn't have made such an effort to get Quinn.
This is really rather funny!
If you actually "read all of the posts" around this board,you would see we completly agree!
I don't think Charlie ia a "franchise QB". Never said it nor implied it. Maybe if you'd quit reading things that aren't there,you'd be better off.
I think he's improved. I think he will improve even more with protection and a running game. I think it will help cut down on his mental mistakes because the "whole game won't depend on him alone" like it has in the past.
But Charlie doesn't have "all the tools it takes to be our franchise QB' IMO. And I think if you'll ask the people who post and read the board a lot,they'll tell you that's been my position ever since we drafted Quinn.
Quinn is more gifted athleticly,was MUCH higher rated coming out in the draft and played in a pro style offense in the NCAA.
All I've done is give Charlie "credit where credits due". The kid has gotten better. You seemed to indicate he wouldn't. You had no way of knowing that. And I think you were wrong. I think he IS better than last year. I think he's still improving and developing. But he's not THE answer IMO.
Now you've went and claimed BEFORE this game that he wouldn't be better. I thought you were wrong and called you on it.
Sorry you don't like the outcome of that. But I've never claimed he'd be "our Savior" only that he would be better and could improve with a better supporting cast. So you can quit backsliding and trying to accuse people of saying things they didn't say any time now......................or not.
I don't really care. Because most of the people who DO read this board KNOW that has been my position ince we drafted Quinn. Quinn,from all appearances IS our future. But that has NOTHING to do with wheather Charlie can or will get better.
I didn't play "connect the dots". But IF I would have,I wouldn't be trying to connect dots that were never there in the first damned place.

So even with receivers dropping balls, poor OL play, terrible OC, there should still be signs with Frye.
What do you mean by "signs"? He completed over 60% of his passes. That isn't a "sign"? He had signs of potential to "be good". Franchise QB good? Probably not. But signs of more potential than what he had shown as of yet.

I haven't really seen any. Nothing that makes me go 'if this guy had a better supporting cast, he'd be really good'.
Okay,were talking NFL here,not X-games. What the hell does "really good" mean? Franchise QB? Solid QB? Great long term,solid back-up?
I think being able to win some games and have solid performances at the NFL level IS "really good". Maybe if you "connected the dots" a little better?
Quote:
That may not be what you meant, but I still believe in this philosophy. There SHOULD be signs even when things aren't set up for success.
Signs of what? Signs that you're the BEST available QB we have other than a rookie who has had three days of practice? I think he did that already.
Now if you can't see just how vague your post was,I can't really help you there. But quit acting like you painted a clear picture and those who couldn't "interprite that" are the one's that are the bad guys here.

Daman, you are so full of crap. There is something about you that just irks the crap out of me and has for some time now. Why don't you just over exaggerate and over dramatize every post you make? You like to take people's opinions and stretch them out to far extremes, and in the process you try to make the person you are responding to look like an idiot.
Let's examine these comments okay!

I do that,, I admit it,, I really do. But I do it because some people on here are just to thick to understand a simple concept.. But I wouldn't do what you just did. I Don't do it on every post as you inaccurately pointed out...

Again, yes, I do that! I admit it. I do it on purpose with a purpose in mind. That's to try to explain things so some people will understand.... As for the Idiot thing,, If I've done anything to belittle someone that hadn't already attempted to belittle me, I'd apolagize for it. It's not my intent. So if called on it, I'll say I'm sorry then it's up to the offended individual to forgive or not.. it's out of my hands at that point.

That's cool, though. I know who the real idiots are on this board. But keep on with your little games. Because that's cool too. People can see through it.
If it's cool, why did you bother to bring it up... obvioiusly, it's not cool for you... so why lie and say it is?

Yes. But I couldn't believe it untill I saw it Damon. Seriously. I REALLY think you need to see Charlie's reaction to those questions.
If ANYTHING could have hurt his confidence and spirit more,I don't have a clue what it could have been.
I just get confused how people could uphold RAC for NOT making a "public statement or action" over the five year old temper tantrum BE pulled last year,than uphold such public humiliation of "flipping a coin" for the starting QB here.
IMO it's one helluva double standard to try to uphold both, and a very unprofessional way for an NFL head coach to conduct business.
I seriously thought this was a joke untill I saw it with my own two eyes. And now? I just find it a terribly sad display of leadership on the part of our head coach.
JMHO

mac, I debated a long time as to whether to reply to your "post". But I decided that a load of trash that big deserved at least some effort on my part. The "tag team" posted on game day thread this morning too...crazy just copied and pasted the very same post you see here...responding to a peen slam on Crennel.
Crazy and Peen believe Crennel sucks as a head coach because he said he flipped a coin, to see which QB would play first in the rotation for last nights game. Fisrt of all, I reposted the same comment because it said what I wanted to say in a very succinct and reasonably polite way. I also mentioned that it was a repost. I did not "slam" Romeo. I said I thought the coin flip made RAC and the Browns look dumb. And from the little I've watched TV today I gather I'm not the only one. Guys, it doesn't mean a damned thing...unless someone already has an agenda in mind for this season. My "agenda" is to see the Browns win. Consistantly. Hopefully, Romeo can do that. But if he makes all his decisions like this I have to wonder. I know Peen thinks Romeo is not the man for the job. I won't go that far. But after this those thoughts are starting to creep in. Did it matter which QB went first in the rotation? Depends on how you mean that. In the grand scheme of things? Probably not. But I'll bet it meant something to Derek and Charlie. And to have it made out to be a joke by using a coin flip......An idea that would only sound good after 4 or 5 beers, IMO. But hey, if it fits the tag team's agenda...to begin a I HATE CRENNEL club...so be it. No, but the "I think mac is a putz club" has just opened it's membership drive.
