BQ was just on the Dan Patrick radio show. Here is a link and summary of the interview. For someone who does not start, he sure gets a lot of air time... Brady Quinn on Dan Patrick Radio Quote:
Browns quarterback Brady Quinn joined the show to talk Super Bowl and the draft.
-- Quinn said Dan can't call him the starter now, but he hopes he will be at some point in 2009.
-- Quinn explained what happened at the draft. He said commissioner Roger Goodell pulled him over to look at the teams remaining. They both decided that he wasn't going to get picked until the 20s, so Goodell took him into his green room so he'd be off camera.
-- Quinn said before the draft, teams look more for things that are wrong. They know what they do well. Quinn said Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez need to be ready to take a lot of criticism.
-- Quinn said that a lot of the bad photos you see of athletes is from college. Athletes have to learn to be more careful.
-- Quinn said Kurt Warner is a great inspiration for him.
-- Quinn told Dan that when he got to Cleveland he was told he had to hate the black and gold.
-- Dan also got into Quinn's bench press numbers. Not quite 400, but close. Quinn said he heard Vinny Testaverde could bench a house.
Don't understand the comment about being told to hate the black and gold. Why did he need to be told - shouldn't he have hated the Steeler since a wee-boy?
Even if he is being asked to do these interviews, I wish he would keep a lower profile during the off-season. He puts himself in a bad position with the other starters. But that's JMHO...

It didn't say he NEEDED to be told, just that he was. I'm guessing if he grew up a Browns fan he did already know.
There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.

The normal level of criticism or the CLEVELAND level of criticism?

Did he have to ask who the black & gold are? Did he think it was Upper Arlington? I hope he at least told them that he already KNEW he had to hate them and already DID hate them.

He shouldn't try and keep a low profile in my opinion. He was named the starter before Rac got canned. If we are indeed going to some sort of WCO he will be our starter. No way in hell would any quality coach let DA run that type of offense.

Agreed,...Low profile ?? Why should he keep any lower a profile than anyone else,...he played better in 2 and half games than anybody else on the team did in 16.

I don't disagree that he shouldn't have to keep a low profile, but he hardly played that well in 2 and a half games. The Denver game he played well in. The other game and a half he played pretty bad. Not saying that says anything towards his future because I think he has a lot of potential, just that he was far from the best player in 2 and a half games.

Oh, you mean after he broke his finger in the Buffalo game that needed to be surgicly repaired? Yeah, he didn't look as good with a broken index finger on his throwing hand.

What's wrong with you man?
You've been around long enough to know better than to say anything even remotely negative about "The Mighty Quinn" no matter how true.

My God. Here we go again!  This isn't about Mighty Mouse OR Brady Quinn. People are asking those of you that said BQ sucked in his two and a half games to give him a shot without a broken finger. I know it's asking a helluva lot, but just TRY it. We gave DA a shot and we saw it didn't work out very well. Let's give BQ the same shot and see what happens.

I agree, Jules! I mean, c'mon, BE did interviews. Sun came up alright. KW Dos aired a bunch of whiny stuff on ESPN I believe, and you can see what a difference it makes. We didn't get the man to be low profile. If he is popular and representing in a good light for a change, have at! We could use any positive PR. Ramp it up. Off season! EVERYBODY is undefeated.

Indeed.
The young man was simply correcting someone else,nothing was mentioned about whys,wherefors,or howto's.
But someone felt obliged to bring up the obvious.
Having no horse in this race,I see the rediculous extremes people go to in support of thier qb.
I don't recall saying he sucked,but now that you bring it up.
Hey i'm wondering about something.Since he got injuried in his 1st start,does that mean he's injury prone?
I'm just screwing around.But someone is going to get all bent out of shape.
Predictability is always good for laugh
Indecision may,or maynot,be my problem

I agree that we need to give Quinn have a chance and he should head into next year as the starter. All I was saying in my original post was that he wasn't all that great in his 2 and a half games. He very well may be good next year but no one knows at this moment.

i'm actually very, very interested to hear mangini, and kokinis to a certain extent's opinions on our quarterback situation...
there's no bias, no loyalty, no pride (in drafting/signing either guy) involved, it's fresh people with completely objective views on the subject, whether these guys pan out as gm/coach, i still really want to know what they think...
i think prior management was influenced heavily...
we all didn't think the move to make brady the starter was from pressure from the media/fans, but after savage's little email scuffle, who knows? maybe he does listen to the call-in shows...
i don't really know what to think of our new gm and coach combo, i'm gonna give them a chance, but i honestly think mangini isn't going to play favorites, or feel pressure to start either guy, and that is what really has me at the edge of my seat...

Why would this have anything to do with doing an interview? 
Hell, today the guys on WDVE, a Pittsburgh radio staion morning show, interviewed him in Tampa. He sounded pretty good, and they treated him with respect, even after he was gone which really surprised me.
The guys a high profile NFL player who's at the Super Bowl, I'm sure everywhere he went there was a reporter bugging him.
Is it somehow a rule in Cleveland that you only do interviews if you are a starter? I'm sure if DA was there he would get interviewed too.
It is hilarious that people are debating if he should do interviews using the comparison of him and Anderson's performance as the criteria. Talk about pissing contests

i'm sure other backups in the league do interviews...
matt leinart... vince young...
they still interview rex grossman around here, and everyone in the world knows he's awful...
people were anxious about philip rivers when he was behind drew brees...
no biggie, in my opinion...
the guy generates interest.

I'm curious to see what a brand new coaching staff and QB coach has to say about our situation.
I can't see Carl Smith and Eric Mangini sitting there oogling at Derek's arm, saying "that kid has potential to really move this offense" without noticing his other deficiencies. And the film on Quinn is more like a preview, so there's less to go by. It may come down to who takes control in the spring and mini camps, and who grasps the offense quicker.

Obviously you didn't see my original post, or the post I had responded to. Someone said that he played better than anyone else on the team in his 2 and a half games. While the rest of the team played bad for the year, Quinn wasn't our best player when he played. I also said I had no problem with him doing the interview. That is what my original post said and what my next post was stating again.
Next time you may want to read all the posts in the discussion.

exactly...
it's to the point where i have no idea what they are going to do...
if i had to lay some money on it, i would say quinn, because he seems to not be as risky, but again, mangini only has a bit of tape on him, i think you're right, training camp is probably where it'll be handled, and rightfully so, neither guy has earned the right to lead this team.
i think with past management, phil savage felt the need, maybe from the fans, but also from the fact that he mortgaged quite a bit of the future for brady quinn, and romeo definitely had loyalty towards derek anderson, and probably rightfully so, as derek was the guy under center when we produced our only winning season in his tenure.
that kinda stuff can't happen with these new guys, they have to be on the same page, or we will have topics like these in another 4 years about another new coach and gm
ah, to be a browns fan.

I know one thing- Mangini didn't appreciate Favre throwing all of those ridiculous interceptions this past season. I don't know either which way it will go. If I had to lean one way, Brady seems like he may be able to pick things up a little quicker. And like you said, isn't as big of a risk taker as Derek is. *cough* Brett Favre *cough*

So did this become a DA vs BQ thread yet? or a general BQ sucks thread from those who had their money on DA? lol 
The kids been a PR dream boat from the word Go and that was him being the backup QB here. Who thinks now that he's the Starter (soon to be again officially named as starter) his notoriaty is going to now lessen.
He the Ad People have been waiting for him to be a starter. Look for him and Payton to be the Face of the NFL soon. Gosh knows what happens if we actually win something... just don't blame BQ.
JMHO

In Cleveland, the favorite quarterback is the backup quarterback. As soon as Quinn goes in, it wont take long for you guys to scream for the next guy. This is still the same town that screamed for Kelly Holcomb.
Learn to cheer for the name on the front of the jersey, which is Cleveland, not the name on back. Whether it be Quinn, Anderson, Dorsey, Holcomb, Couch, Frye, Dilfer, Spergen Wynn, hell I dont care anymore.
In times like these, Hal Lebovitz would remind us we didn't have a team for four years.

How do you know "us guys" would do that?
A lot of "us guys" didn't believe he was the answer from the beginning. So it's not like we jumped on some bandwagon and back off of it again.
Can you tell me which "us guys" you're talking about?

This is as comical as the Browns not letting us know what's going on during the recent search for GM...
We want an IDENTITY on Defense...A FACE...We don't have it yet...
We GET ONE on Offense and people say he's too much in the Spotlight...Go figure...

All of them... until such time as they proved they couldn't handle it. And even after I didn't think they were that good, I still cheered for them and I'm yet to boo one.

I'm not waterdawg, but I can tell you in all honesty, I've cheered for and supported each and every one that started for the Browns - and that's not just the new era.

Tim Couch. Supported him until the end.......
Same with Charlie Frye.......
They were both the "best that we had at the time" and I supported both of them ( long term )
And supported every QB on any given day that they started.
Point being, you support the guy who is playing, while still wanting what you feel is best for your team in the long haul or for the present for that matter.
You can actually do both. And a lot of "us guys" do just that.
