Totally realistic expectations here in the city of champions. I'll never understand what goes through some fans' tiny brains. This team has some talent, but they certainly arent on par with the Patriots yet. How about having a little patience? Or at least wait until the regular season starts?

It's dumb to dismiss him based upon one stupid practice game. Maybe his Blueboy Magazine photo session ran late the previous night, who knows, who cares. And it's not like he doesn't have any trade value, if Savage traded him now, he could probably obtain that same range of first-round pick right back, plus another lower draft pick. The bottom line is if the Browns' offense stumbles through the first third of the season, Savage is going to whisper in Crennel's ear, and Quinn is going to get his shot at being the starting QB. Unlike NFL player contracts, it's guaranteed. Oh, come on. Quinn may be the real long-term deal for all anybody knows. It's dumb to dismiss him based upon one stupid practice game.

They have to have a huge hang over after he showed he is like any other young QB, not even close to ready to start and with marginal talent. Too bad Savage, if only you could get a takeover and trading a first and second for Quinn. We could have a quality LB and CB and signed a QB with as much potential off the waiver wire.

So what else is new. Browns go 7-9, Romeo under heat by game five. Same old same old as Pitts and Cincy fight it out for Division title.

If they start the regular season sucking in a major way, it's only a matter of time.
