I was waiting for someone to post about Quinn, and to be honest figured it would be Dunigan for sure. Listen, his first two games he's been fine and looks like he has potential, but as I stated early on, we cannot begin to judge him as an NFL QB until he's played 5-6 games to give us a decent sampling. It's easy to say he's doing well when the gameplan is paired down and he's throwing 5 yard passes all the time. Most QBs will look good in that style of offense. I want to see how he does when they open up the offense more and turn him loose a bit. Also, I'll give him credit for the Denver game as he barely had any reps with the first team, but realistically any one of us could throw on that garbage defense. He was much more "rookie-like" against Buffalo with a lower completion percentage, low yardage, and no scores. The most important thing for him is to keep turnovers to a minimum, which he has done.
Also, remember how much people were loving Trent Edwards after their 5-1 start? Well they are hating him just as much now and there's even a bit of talk about putting Losman back in....are you kidding me?! Things can turn just like that for NFL QBs, so let's give it a bit of time to see what happens. Quite a few people though DA was a solid NFL starter and, as most of us expected, he's already been benched.
I'm just sayin'...

Brady Quinn, and other Random Thoughts.....
Alright, It's been awhile, but I'm back on this thing..............
BRADY QUINN and the State of the Brownies
In the first 2 games of the BQ experience, I have been really impressed. Yes, I know his stats haven't exactly been Montana-esque. But look at the other intangibles he shows. He stands in the pocket, LIKE A MAN, and takes the heat of the pass rush. He commands the huddle the way a Field general should, and doesn't have one illegal formation penalty, and never has to use a timeout because the Browns are line up wrong( something DA routinely did). And he takes blame after every game, win or lose (Unlike DA, who used to blame alot of his mistakes on the fact that his receiver in his helmet was malfunctioning. ARE YOU SERIOUS? REALLY?! Sure it wasn't the fact that you can;t lead receivers, and are basically a well-paid statue in the pocket? No, must be the headset.). He puts the game on his shoulders and deflects blame from the Browns horrid defense, Braylon Edwards forgetting that receivers who talk about themselves in the 3rd person like they are a superstar, actually need to catch the ball on occasion, the fact that the line can't recognize blitzes coming right up the middle, and most glaringly, The fact that Romeo manages the game like he's playing Madden '09 and he has unlimited rewinds. But I think the Browns are in really good hands w/BQ at QB. Nothing fazes the guy. In his first game he had like 1 practice to prepare for Denver and threw 2 TDs. He's a crazy athlete (judging by the throw he made off his back foot to K2 in the back of the end zone with a defender draped all over him). And while he's being criticized for not throwing the ball down field more, I like what he's doing. He's involving Kellen more in the offense, and don't you want to get your best offensive weapon (which K2 is) the ball? Oh, and the Browns are running off 6 straight wins (WRITE IT DOWN)!!!!!
LeBron and the CAVS
How good do the Cavs look so far? They have everything you need to win a championship. They have the Best Player on the Planet (don't give me that Kobe, or CP3 BS, put them on the CAVS and see what happens), Great Shooters who have been hitting big shots, and Mo Williams who has given the Cavs a good #2 scorer, and someone else besides LeBron who actually creates his own shot, and, more importantly, moves Bronson off of the ball to play the 4, which is a mismatch waiting to happen. And apparently Delonte West is a Stud at the 2 spot. Who knew? And Big Ben and Andy are actually contributing positively. This is way too good to be true right now. And if they Get McDyes? Are you kidding? They might as well schedule the parade right now, my friends.
Well That's all I got, oh and the Bengals are Bad. Really Bad. When people are talking about a tie as a positive step, you know it's been a bad year.
