I have to give props to Detroits 3rd string QB, he's a pretty good shoe.
That's Drew Stanton, a 2nd round pick out of Michigan State back in 2007. The kid has quite a bit of talent and could develop into a solid quarterback.
It wouldn't surprise me to see him develop into a solid player in Detroit and (provided Stafford pans out) is traded to a team desperately needing a QB to build around, much like the Falcons did when they traded Matt Schaub to the Texans a few years ago.
Browns seem MUCH more disciplined so far tonight. The Eric Mangini tough love tactic seems to be working. That, along with the fact that there haven't been any dropped balls, shows a good sign. Those two issues have been the biggest problems that have hindered the Browns in the past few years.
Still a lot of dumbass penalties, though. But overall the offense seemed less chaotic and the defense more focused.
Why don't you go talk to yourself in the Falcons thread.......that is if you have one
LOL, at least my team has the potential to reach posteason this year
An overrated ND QB in Brady Quinn + Braylon "butter fingers" Edwards + no Donte Stallworth = another long, sad (and might I add losing) season for the Cleveland Browns

And Jamal Lewis is still a snitch
Brady Quinn has the potential to be an upper echelon NFL quarterback.

No he does not, Brady Quinn is a product of the overhyped Notre Dame/NBC media machine. A pretty decent QB he is, an upper echelon QB he is not. He has horrible arm strength throwing the ball for someone who almost set a record at the NFL combine for bench press reps, and his pocket presence and accuracy are even worse. Add that to the fact that he wont have any Donte Stallworth this year, and Braylon Edwards just plain can't catch worth a damn. In the right system Brady Quinn could be an above average QB, but that system is not the Cleveland Browns. But a top tier QB he will never be

Do you not see the similarities between the two franchises? Both coming off 4-12 seasons, revamped coaching staffs...etc?

Yes, he most certainly does. He's shown that in what little playing time he's had so far.

NFL scouts don't buy into that hype, and Brady Quinn was a consensus first round pick.

Focus on the word "potential" I used when describing him.

Not only is arm strength the absolute most overrated attribute given to quarterbacks, but you're factually incorrect as well. Brady Quinn has a strong arm. Stronger than alot of his peers. He surely has a stronger arm than Tom Brady, who is arguably the greatest quarterback of this decade. Quinn's arm is also comparable to, or better than Peyton Manning's, who is also a legitimate candidate for best QB of this decade. Neither of those guys have ever had trouble making every throw required of an NFL QB.

Have you actually watched Quinn play? If you had, you would have seen Quinn standing in the pocket delivering nearly flawless passes as some 300lb defensive lineman was planting his shoulder pad's into Quinn's kidneys. Quinn might be the most fundamentally polished

History has shown that the QB makes the receiver much more than the receiver makes the QB.

Quinn will be an above average QB in the next year or so, provided he continues on the same track he is now, and top tier is most certainly in reach. Also it's worth noting that the Browns offensive coordinator is Brian Daboll, a guy who worked with Josh McDaniels (the guy responsible for Brady and Cassel's success) in New England and is regarded as one of the "up and comers" in the NFL coaching circle.

I am going to Cleveland in 2 weeks to see my Vikings play the Browns, and I am worried we are heading into an ambush.
