While We’re Waiting… Anderson’s Allegations, Thoughts on Powe, and Cheesy Browns Posters

I dont know if these allegation about Quinn are true, but if they are thats a shot at his character. He did not win the job becuase of it though, because really no one stood out in the game.

Is he really complaining about that? Teams steal signals every game and the scrimmage was a game-time situation, so it’s how you work around it. Grant-it Quinn knew exactly what the signals were, but it’s no different than Bellicheck stealing signals during a regular season game.

Let’s be honest, they’re going to give Quinn the starting job b/c we don’t know what we have with him. I know that a certain team in Minnesota is in need of a “good” QB and I’d say that DA is a much better QB than Sage or Tavaris and with a guy like AP, that will open up the deep ball. Why not trade DA and try to get a 3rd RD pick (I hope it would be that high) for him and take some pressure off of Brady.

@Scott#4-dead on, thank you. Don’t you think his teamates and coaches note the same?

he didnt say the pick was because they were cheating. He said it was more difficult to communicate with the recievers, and they were trying to make hand signals on the fly. He even said he should have looked off Jackson before trying to throw the ball there.

@2- Are you saying you want the browns to start ‘cheating’ like the Pats. If somethings like that ever comes out of cleveland, id be very upset.

Also, why is it assumed that quinn has to play because we dont know anything about him. Ratty and Bartel havent played either, should they get a shot? Let Quinn EARN his starting job. I hate this assumption of, ‘lets see what he is.’ put the best player in, and I am convinced the Mangini will do so.

How many times have we heard that DA’s helmet mic isn’t working? This is at least the 5th or 6th time. Either the guy is deaf or he has some plate in his skull that continuously shorts the receiver.

And really, DA, quit the complaining. This is why he doesn’t have the vaunted “IT” factor. The guy isn’t the leader the NFL requires a QB to be.

I covered h.s sports for the Oakland Tribune for a few years while living in SF and was able to watch Powe and always had one player in mind to compare him to: Adrian Dantley. Serious moves that defy his relative lack of athleticism . . .

This is garbage! DA was totally joking, that’s his personality! He uses humor to deal with stressful situations it’s a defense mechanism. It’s regarded as probably the most “mature” of all the defense mechanisms. This story is even more B.S. than Shaun Rodgers wanting to go back to detroit.

The signals is different tho because they don’t know 100% that it is X play. They also might be saying they used a signal from the other team, but made it something else trying to confuse them perhaps.

Also, Macnip.. I know who Royal is, but I actually meant Jackson. Heres DAs quote after the scrimmage-
(On D’Qwell Jackson intercepting his pass)- “I saw him running to it. I should have moved him to the left a little bit and I probably would have had it. Obviously, I ran the wrong play than what he called. I’m glad it’s a scrimmage and not versus [a real opponent].”

that sounds like hes taking ownership over the pick.

I have a hard time believing that Quinn was tipping off the defense. Defensive signals are sent in by a coach, and the coach would have had to be involved in this. I could be wrong, but I don’t buy it.

@ bobby – Thanks for the clarification on Jackson. DA is taking ownership there, but that is the same mistake he always makes. Words are just words, anyone can say that they should have done something different. He has yet to learn from his mistakes and change his actions

The saying, “You can’t polish a turd,” applies to DA more than any other Brown.

^^^^^
Wow!!! Have we gotten off-track or what, but that is an interesting fact to know.

With the all-Brown uniforms on, DA may look like a giant turd as well.
