Only a Cleveland fan, coach or player could come up with an idea like that. We've made so many stupid personnel decisions in the past, I question if most Browns backers can tell the difference anymore. IF WE WANT TO WIN, SIGN DA TO A LONG TERM DEAL AND LET QUINN'S MODEST CONTRACT PLAY OUT! DON'T TRADE ANYONE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. Everyone should get rid of the idea of trading DA!

With the way he is playing that could cause major headaches for our team. With all the teams out there that are dying for a decent QB someone is going to come after him. The question is which one of them has the cap room to make him unaffordable to us? We have lots of players who are getting paid above the league average at other positions. I’m not sure what our cap situation looks like in the future… Can we afford to keep DA? Nobody has mentioned the fact that DA is a restricted free agent after this year.

We are on a 3 game winning streak for crying out loud! For the longest time, we just worried about finding a QB that could perform... Now we most likely have 2!

And he's sharing the ball with all our talent..Let's keep him at #1. Let Brady learn on the sidelines for awhile. Look up in Green Bay, Rogers was a first round pick and he is still on the sideline, and if Brett comes back next year, another year on the bench, that would be four years.. Not saying DA is a Favre, but that some time a number one might not start sooner than one might hope.. DA is doing outstanding job and improving each week as he gains confidence.

Let's keep him at #1. Let Brady learn on the sidelines. The reality is an NFL team had better have 2 quality QBs. Injuries are so common that without 2 good QBs and a decent 3rd option like Ken Dorsey, any team can go down in a heartbeat. Of course, economics is alos a factor and paying 2 QBs the really big bucks probably won't work. If that happens, trading Brady for a high pick or two in the 2008 draft or getting some quality Defensive players might be another option. We must stop the other team's offense.

Sipe was like a 13th rounder from San diego state when they had that many rounds and was a supplemental player for his first two years. Something like a limbo status between being on the team and not being on the team. Mike Phipps was a high draft pick from Purdue. Eventualy they got rid of MIke PHipps and the rest is history. I say you go with success. If Anderson continues to perform you trade or cut Quinn and save the money. You can draft another 6th rounder to be the back up. Notre Dame is over rated and no guarantee of success. So many great players have come from obscure colleges and have been low draft picks.
