Football Time to start Brady Quinn?

Quote:
Just one game into the season, the Cleveland Browns will make a change at quarterback, as the team on Tuesday afternoon dealt third-year veteran Charlie Frye, who started Sunday's regular-season opener but was benched early in the game, to the Seattle Seahawks.

It is believed that the Browns, who spent much of Monday seeking a trade partner for Frye, received a draft choice in return.

There is no word yet on who will start for Cleveland in next Sunday's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The departure of Frye could pave the way for the Browns to turn the starting job over to first-round draft pick Brady Quinn of Notre Dame, but general manager Phil Savage on Monday cautioned that it might be too early for the former Notre Dame star to be elevated to that status.

Savage cited the 1999 season when, after a blowout loss to Pittsburgh, the Browns benched starting veteran Ty Detmer and moved first-round pick Tim Couch, the top overall selection in the draft that year, into the lineup. Cleveland finished 2-14 that season, and Couch, clearly not ready yet to start, struggled throughout the year.

There had been rumors following Sunday's lopsided loss to the Steelers that Frye might be traded or released. Frye completed only four of 10 passes for 34 yards and an interception in the game -- a QB rating of 10.0 -- and was replaced by Derek Anderson at 6;34 of the second quarter. Anderson did not fare much better, going 13-of-28 for 184 yards.

Those rumors gained some steam Monday when journeyman quarterback Ken Dorsey, who had been a mentor to Quinn in training camp, arrived at the Browns' complex. The team is expected to re-sign Dorsey, a four-year veteran, on Tuesday afternoon.

Frye, 26, was a third-round choice in the 2005 draft, and the former Akron star moved into the starting lineup in the final month of his rookie campaign. He started the first 13 games in 2006, then missed the final three outings of the year with a wrist injury.

In camp this summer, Frye competed with Anderson for the top job on the depth chart, and was named the starter the week before the opener. But the loss to Pittsburgh was disastrous and the Browns decided to make a quick change.

In his three-year career, Frye has completed 354 of 568 passes for 3,490 yards, with 14 touchdown passes and 24 interceptions, for an efficiency rating of 70.2. He has started in 19 of his 21 appearances.

With the Seahawks, Frye will be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart, behind starter Matt Hasselbeck and primary backup Seneca Wallace, who recently signed a contract extension. The Seahawks have been seeking another veteran quarterback since releasing David Greene in the final cutdown to the 53-player roster.

Re: Time to start Brady Quinn?

If the Browns have any sort of common sense, they'll start Quinn. Last Sunday's game was just a travesty. I always root for the Ohio teams, but the Browns have been making it hard on me the past few years.

Brady is good, but Brady is not god. He needs more time to watch, and learn. Ken Dorsey (who was re-signed today) will be a good mentor for Brady, even if he did not have the best of careers.

For now, Derek Anderson should remain the starting Quarterback.

True. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge Brady fan (being a Buckeye, I'm a die hard Michigan/Notre Dame hater), but anyone's better than Frye.

Oh well. At least my Bengals won last night.

Re: Time to start Brady Quinn?

Starting Quinn is a huge mistake so early in the season. Sure he may be a good receiver but he isn't so good that Cleveland will win a lot of games. Quinn needs to learn the offense on the sideline not on his back staring at the lights. Thelast thing Cleveland want is to turn Quinn into the next Harrington.

Quinn isn't an NFL QB yet he needs time to learn his trade and learn new skills, he can't do if he is thrown in afterthe 1st game.

Let Anderson or Dorsey play this year and let Quinn learn.

Re: Time to start Brady Quinn?

Why not throw him to the wolves? Manning was thrown to the wolves See: 3-13 Season. I don't know about you but I think Manning has done well. McNabb was essentially thrown to the wolves. Granted I know every QB is different and they can't ALL be thrown to the wolves, See: Carr, David; Couch, Tim; Smith, Akili; Leaf, Ryan. However sometimes development doesn't work either See: Culpepper, Daunte(adequate no where near what he could be though). It's really a coin toss, See how he performs in the pocket, if he's all over the place and has happy feet sit him. If he looks poised keep him in there. Someone once said, You can't learn to play, if you don't play.

Re: Time to start Brady Quinn?

I tend to agree with Invictus here.

Brady Quinn is no where close to game-ready, especially given the time he missed in training camp. He needs to be watching from the sidelines until at least mid-way through this season, studying the game at the NFL level.

Re: Time to start Brady Quinn?

I would definitely start Quinn at some point in the season, but not now. Let him learn like the others have stated. Either way, Browns aren't winning shit.

Everyone around here is pretty much saying the 6th game of the season is when Quinn takes over.

I'm still holding out for Kelly Holcombs return though.
