4. So have I and I'm not even a Cleveland fan...

...but from Brady's reception any time he touched anything in mid-season, this will make the fans happy.

2. Anderson looked like a 49er quarterback yesterday...

And I don't mean Montana or Young.

Now, how about a new O.C?

3. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Why do this in a week in which your game is Thursday? Why not wait until after this game, give Quinn the extra few days to prepare for the game, rather than shove him in there in a short week?

5. Quinn was great against the Broncos (first pro start)

I'm sure not many people saw this as it was on the NFL network, but he looked calm, made good decisions and played (as it appeared to me) with maturity not often seen in second-year QBs.

Now, if Cleveland can just get a new defense and coaching staff.

7. LOL. Any Cleveland QB who isn't intercepted at least twice a game is great.

10. Yeah, right...

12. Dude--- Brady Quinn went to a school that still shows up on my TV every Saturday

for some inexplicable reason. Is it the Catholics or the Knute Rockne legend, who the fuck knows---but Notre Dame has been shitty for two decades. Brady Quinn is nothing more than a pretty face who choked on every big game he ever played at ND.

This guy is in the Steve Deberg, Trent Green, and Brad Johnson mode--- and I think I'm being generous with that description.

He threw a bunch of dink passes the other night and he got the dog pound all a twitter. Two years max and he'll start his journey through the NFL, and I betcha it's Oakland next.

13. There's more to being a QB than throwing the ball down field

Remember a guy named Joe Montana?

And no O.C. in their right mind is going to open the playbook for a first-time starter. Remember, he had 4 days to prepare. Quinn showed great presence and command for what he had to do and what he had to work with.

Forget I was trying to give the guy a compliment.
