This article is a response to recent articles by Daniel Wolf and Steve Tater. Both are writers that I have the utmost respect for even when I respectively disagree with there points. It does get tiring defending Brady Quinn. Here is a quarterback where the opinion on him is split. If we were in court, this would be a hung jury. That is okay though because to me, he is a ...

I have coached at the junior varsity and Pop Warner level. In no way is that the same as coaching in the NFL. I am not pretending it is, however, when I would tell a player to sit on the bench, he sat on the bench. Of course some would be upset about getting taken out; so would their parents. I did appreciate the competitiveness and desire to play. However, when ...

After weeks of speculation, it's official. Mike Holmgren is now the president of football operations for the Cleveland Browns. Holmgren comes in with a proven record as a head coach. That should be good experience for him to be successful in the front office as well. Holmgren will have many key decisions to make this offseason, twoáof whicháwill get the most attention: do you bring back Eric Mangini and do you bring ...

Ever since the Cleveland Browns came back into the league, following the original Browns' move to Baltimore, they have been looking for a guy to be the franchise quarterback. It started with Tim Couch. Since then, the list has gone like this: Kelly Holcomb, Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye, and Derek Anderson. The current starter is Brady Quinn, who has also had his ups and downs. Why is it that the Browns ...

We all know the situation. With three weeks left in the NFL regular season, there are now four teams in the AFC for the final wild card spot. With the divisions looking wrapped up and the Denver Broncos looking to be in a great position to clinch the first wild card, there is only oneáspot is still realistically up for grabs. The Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, BaltimoreáRavens, and Jacksonville Jaguars ...

Okay, so I'll be the first to admit. Brady Quinn did not have a good game statistically. Six of 19 for 90 yards is not good in any league by any standards. Certainly Quinn was off on a lot of throws all night. To be honest, my biggest criticism of him was that he didn't dink and dunk enough. That may sound strange considering the biggest knock on him was that ...

On Thursday Night, Brady Quinn will lead the Cleveland Browns into the biggest game of the year. The Browns will host arch rival the Pittsburgh Steelers. When these two teams play throw out the records. For Quinn, it is his biggest rivalry game since his senior year at Notre Dame when he played USC. Sure the Browns do have other rivals like the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. Those are ...

Late last week, the issue of whether or not Brady Quinn was progressing was looked at.á It certainly was a question that was worth thinking about. After having a rough go of it the first three weeks against three very tough defenses, Quinn was benched for five and aáhalf games. Then he returned on a Monday Night against the Ravens only to struggle once again and get shut out. Then the Browns ...

Is Brady Quinn Progressing? That is the burning question. It is one that will definitely have an impact on how the Cleveland Browns approach the NFL draft. Drafting another quarterback early is really what most Browns fans don't want to have to do. That would only set the team back more, instead of looking towards improvement. However, in order for the Browns to approach the draft without looking for another quarterback, ...

When Brady Quinn met with media on Wednesday, the highlight wasn't him talking about his breakout performance on Sunday. It also wasn't about how he is preparing for the Cincinnati Bengals. Instead he spent a lot of the time defending his college coach, Charlie Weis. A couple of comments that stood out were where Quinn flat out said that Notre Dame firing Weis would be a mistake. The comment that would be ...
