I do not believe that the front office is setting up Brady to fail, they just finally realized, too late, that hopes for a playoff berth are over and they need to plan for next year. They are simply too slow and lethargic to respond to the fast pace of the NFL. They should have pulled him in the second half of the Redskins game after it became obvious that the "other" DA was on the field. So now relax, enjoy, no pressure. . . and no playoffs

Very mixed emotions about this move:

(1) I agree that the Browns should have let DA go free agent in the off season when his stock was at its peak. He had one great half-season that he will likely never duplicate.

(2) Why send Quinn in THIS week? I'm skeptical that the front office is setting him up to fail. First, they have a short week to prepare. Second, DA was not COMPLETELY to blame blame from the latest loss (although he certainly did his part); he had 1.5 good quarters and 2.5 bad quarters. It will look to the rest of the team that DA is the fall guy, undermining Quinn's authority. The season is over anyway; let DA screw up once more for old time's sake before we send him to the Seahawks practice squad.

I was thinking to myself earlier today that if I was Quinn I would be making noise about wanting to be traded. I mean, WTF, I was drafted in the first round and here I am holding the clipboard for some Jekyll and Hyde who has one of (if not THE) lowest QB rankings in the NFL? Obviously, this is a team that DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WINNING.

Braylon Edwards is a joke. He had one nice long catch and immediately started hot-dogging as if he was the next Jerry Rice. Don't any of the coaches (or even his own agent) tell him that he needs to CATCH the ball consistently before he can land that big endorsement contract. (Forget about appealing to professionalism, because that obviously doesn't matter to Braylon.) Can we trade him and DA to the Lions for a 4th round pick?

Nick I couldn't agree more. Savage should have (and could have!) traded Anderson while he was worth something after a fluke season against an easy schedule. His numbers are dismal going back even several games into last season. And he is not even completing 50% of his passes! This move is way overdue. I cannot understand Crennel on this or any other decisions. He is the worst coach in the history of the Browns and that is saying something. He should be the next to go.

Too little, too late for this season. The move should've been made in the off-season, trading Anderson when he still had some value. Alas, Savage was a victim of his own greed, and like Wall Street, D.A.'s value has dropped like a lead weight.

Regarding Brady, I haven't felt as much excitement this entire season as when WTAM just broke the news about the QB switch. I've been anxiously awaiting it since the moment we traded for Brady's draft rights. This is the ONLY move the Browns could possibly have made to electrify the stadium Thursday night. The entire COUNTRY has been waiting for this freakin' move. The ratings will be thru the roof… Unfortunately, after all of D.A.'s inconsistency, we're playing for pride now.
