First and 10: How woeful are my brownies?

Posted on September 22, 2009 by Pat McManamon

First and 10 1)     To avoid being negative … I guess we can look at the bright side, at the glass as half-full. At 0-2 the Browns are not mathematically out of the playoff race. So with 14 games left … Continue reading →

The Browns look awful in Denver

Posted on September 20, 2009 by Pat McManamon

I believe this is the moment where I get to say: "Gee, I hate to be negative … but …" The Browns stunk up the joint in Denver on Sunday. They played a team that many thought they could beat, … Continue reading →

Brady Quinn and the Browns offense

Posted on September 17, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Brady Quinn had some interesting things to say in his media interview Wednesday that, to me at least, indicate his decisions on where to throw the ball are a result of coaching. Thirteen of Quinn’s 21 completions in the opener … Continue reading →

Mangini taking shots from many quarters

Posted on September 11, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Soon enough Nessie will be on Oprah

Posted on September 10, 2009 by Pat McManamon

First and 10: Time for Quinn?

Posted on August 30, 2009 by Pat McManamon

First of the season … regular production begins the week of the opener. 1)      I think if Saturday was a regular season game the Browns get whacked pretty good. Kerry Collins and the Titans offense moved the ball pretty easily, and … Continue reading →

Money matters and the Browns QB situation

Posted on August 25, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Profootballtalk.com points out the financial realities in Brady Quinn’s contract, stating Quinn will trigger a $5 million escalator for 2010 if he plays 70 percent of this season’s snaps, and will trigger a $1.32 playing-time incentive if he is on … Continue reading →

Derek Anderson's time is precious

Posted on August 20, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Eric Mangini says he will let the Browns quarterback process play out, that it’s better to make sure he makes the right decision rather than a forced one on a deadline. He’s right about that. But it also makes me … Continue reading →

Returning and discovering some things never change

Posted on August 16, 2009 by Pat McManamon

You go over the pond for nine days and take some time off and come back and some things have changed. Tiger Woods actually loses a tournament. The Indians have jettisoned another pitcher. The Cavs added two more players. The … Continue reading →

The beauty of democracy

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Pat McManamon

ESPN did a survey for the best quarterback in the AFC North. Players cast the votes. Two Browns players received a vote. Go figure. Maybe some players were yanking ESPN's chain?

One more opinion that the Browns staff prefers Derek Anderson

Posted on May 14, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Fox's John Czarnecki writes that "there is no question that the new Browns' hierarchy seems to prefer Derek Anderson over fan-favorite Brady Quinn, despite the front office unwillingness to trade the Notre Dame kid prior to last month's draft." Depsite … Continue reading →

Browns: Quinn not available … trade-down possible?

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Pat McManamon

The draft approaches. And perhaps all the Brady Quinn smoke was generated by someone sending false signals. Today the Denver Post reported that the Broncos want to acquire another quarterback, specifically to trade up and obtain USC QB Mark Sanchez. … Continue reading →

This Browns approach makes sense

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Pat McManamon

A report in Yahoo from Jason Cole indicates the Browns are dangling bait in an effort to trade down from the fifth spot. Which, if true, is sound thinking and a good move. The Browns need players, and more draft … Continue reading →

Some more on your Cleveland Browns

Posted on April 17, 2009 by Pat McManamon

I always wonder if I'm being too hard on the Cleveland Browns.  Yesterday GM George Kokinis spoke with the media, and really didn't say anything of substance. He talked a lot and answered a lot of questions, but really didn't … Continue reading →

The Cutler deal was all about Kyle Orton

Posted on April 6, 2009 by Pat McManamon

My last word on the Jay Cutler trade. After this I shall say no more … Peter King wrote about the deal and other possible Cutler deals on SI.com, and never once mentioned the words "Brady" and "Quinn." King said the … Continue reading →

Perhaps the Browns should be happy …

Posted on April 3, 2009 by Pat McManamon

The Jets don't have a quarterback like Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn. They don't have a guy who has thrown 29 TD passes or a guy who was a first-round draft pick out of Notre Dame. So perhaps the Jay Cutler … Continue reading →

One example of fan reaction to a possible Quinn trade

Posted on April 2, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Ted Arichteff has been a loyal reader and e-mailer for years. It might lead one to wonder why Ted doesn't have more in his life — Soduku perhaps? — but it's nice to know somebody out there cares. Ted wrote … Continue reading →

More on the Jay Cutler nonsense

Posted on April 2, 2009 by Pat McManamon

I think some folks outside Cleveland are missing the point about the Jay Cutler-Brady Quinn situation. I should state that I have no idea if there even is a Cutler-Quinn situation, and I have no idea if the Browns are … Continue reading →

This talk of acquiring Jay Cutler defies logic

Posted on April 1, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Let the Jay Cutler rumor mill start churning. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen released a stunning statement Tuesday night saying he was going to trade his quarterback. Immediately, the Browns surfaced as a possible – and in some cases — likely … Continue reading →

Brady Quinn done for the season — a story that stinks in many ways

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Pat McManamon

Someone gets it that LeBron might not leave, and why the difference in judgment with Quinn and Anderson?

Posted on November 22, 2008 by Pat McManamon

Finally, there's someone out there who gets it that Lebron James will not automatically leave Cleveland after next season, that LeBron's driving force is multiple championships, and that he knows nobody has ever done it in his home town. As … Continue reading →
