Well...you can probably go ahead and pencil in the Browns as 0-2.

Whoa!

 

Browns trade Frye to Seattle

FOXSports.com, Updated 28 minutes ago 

 

Apparently, 20 minutes of action was all the Browns needed to see to make a change at quarterback. Cleveland has traded former starting quarterback Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round pick, FOXSports.com has learned. With Frye out of the picture, it should only be a matter of time before first-round pick Brady Quinn gets the nod as the starter.

At least we got something for him.. I hope.. haha

Report says Cleveland Browns have traded Frye to Seattle Seahawks

The Browns have traded Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round pick, FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer has reported.

 

The Seahawks chose to trade for Frye to be their No. 3 quarterback rather than sign Ken Dorsey, who worked out for them last week.

 

Dorsey will take Frye's place on the Browns roster. It remains to be seen how the Browns will reassemble their quarterback depth chart. Any of the three, which includes Derek Anderson and rookie Brady Quinn, could be a candidate to start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

What a freakin' mess.

Wow! I didn't see that one coming.

At least we got something for him.. I hope.. haha

 

We haven't gotten much out of our second-day picks for the last couple of years!  Most of the guys remain on the practice squad for a while then get cut!

I think getting rid of Frye really is a great move although it does seem like it causes some instability.  Lets get serious, we're looking at Quinn around Week 7.  Frye did not want to give up his starting spot (which all true competitors don't), but he was gonna be a locker room problem as a backup.  This way you clear the path, bring back Dorsey and make Quinn happy and look to the future, because lets get serious, Frye was NOT in our long term plans.  Anderson as our backup?  Sure, but Quinn is our future, lets let the line gel and then go from there.

Sorry, I know this is my third version of this but this is the official release.

Here's an insider article, I thought it was interesting..

 

Frye is better off in Seattle

When I woke up this morning, I was expecting to hear some news regarding Browns QB Charlie Frye, but I was not expecting it to be that he was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Seattle Seahawks. I was thinking the news would be that Frye was no longer the starter in Cleveland and that the team was going to move in a new direction. Well, this morning the Browns moved in a new direction all right, shipping the 2005 third-round pick out West to Seattle.

Wow! Everybody is better off and everybody will be a winner!!  The Browns, the Seahawks, the Bengals and the Steelers, Charlie Frye, Brady Quinn and Ken Dorsey gets his job back and everything is all right, forever!!!

Anderson to start after Cleveland Browns trade Frye to Seattle Seahawks and sign Dorsey

Browns general manager Phil Savage said today that the trade of Charlie Frye to Seattle for a sixth-round pick clarifies the quarterback situation.  "Derek (Anderson) is the starter, Brady (Quinn) is the No. 2 and Ken (Dorsey) will help them both in the classroom,'' said Savage at an afternoon press briefing.  The Browns confirmed that they have traded Frye to Seattle and re-signed Dorsey.  The deal is contingent on Frye passing a physical in Seattle.

Not a bad move.

 

I thought that Chuck Frye wasn't improving at all.  His passes were off (he was part of the problem with all of the drops).  He stared down the receiver he was throwing to, and he didn't recognize coverage packages.  He held onto the ball too long and didn't know when to throw it away.  Lastly, he didn't have a mind for football.

 

I like Dorsey.  What he lacks in physical skills, he makes up in his knowledge, experience, and willingness to assist coaches and teammates.  I'm glad he's back in Cleveland.

 

I hope Charlie can have the opportunity to improve elsewhere.  But you have to think...our starting QB is someone else's third string QB.  That's pretty sad.

This means that we'll definitely see Brady this year.  Can Anderson stay healthy for 15 more games?  Will he have the endurance for a 16-game season?  No way.

Anderson stinks too. I know, I know, I don't actually know anything about football, but come on he gets sacked less than Frye but they both don't score. This team is a disaster. They are the new Detroit Lions.

He stared down the receiver he was throwing to.

 

Haha I take it you never played football cd?  It's called checking off the receiver.

Yeah, but in my observation (no expert though), he didn't check off anyone.  He didn't make his progressions from the primary to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...options.  He typically went from #1 straight to either the safety valve or to a scramble.

Yeah his problem is that once he checks off the #1, he can't pick him back up again, he gets locked on the #2 or scrambles.

He stared down the receiver he was throwing to.

 

Haha I take it you never played football cd?  It's called checking off the receiver.

 

No, I never played football as a team sport and don't know the official rules and terminology of quarterbacking.  So what? 

 

 

You've never played football as a team sport?

^ meaning a high school or college team!  :-P  You knew what I meant!

 

Back on topic...the Browns.

You've never played football as a team sport?

 

Smart-ass ... ;)

Hey, there's a website where you can bet on when Brady Quinn will start!

yay, i'll be at the game

 

go lions!

Congrats .You deserve it.

Unbelievable game! I guess both defenses missed their buses and never made it to the stadium. But it was a lot of fun watching the scoreboard imitate that of a pinball machine!!

 

Hopefully this will give the team a boost of confidence.

Wow- the Bengals must really suck....losing to the Browns....awful just awful.

Don't be a jerk, LI.

^ Exactly. If the Browns need 51 points to win that is certainly nothing to gloat about.

Don't be a jerk, LI.

 

I agree.  What's the use in putting time and effort into posting that, LIC?

GO BROWNS!!

Congratulations, Browns. 

What a game.. so funny listening to people on the rapid on the way home this week vs. last week.  Last week people wanted the team to just give up the rest of the season, and this week all the optimism is back.  Go Browns!

Wow, what an awesome game. Sure wish that I could have watched it. I was busy showing houses to my in-laws (retiring to Cleveland from Nashville!), so I was busying doing my part for Cleveland.

 

 

:clap:

Ugh.  That was just horrible, horrible football.  I felt like I was watching a WAC game.

 

The Bengals have some serious issues on defense, and they were exposed today.  Early returns look like it's going to be the Steelers as the class of the division this year.  I wouldn't count any of the other three teams out of second place after what I saw today.

 

The Browns did what they had to do to win today, and I can respect that.

we are awful at football.  the browns aren't much better, but they were better today.  by the way lewis is one hell of a running back

Sports is ultimately a form of entertainment. On that score it was a great game. Those are also the kinds of games to introduce newbies to football. So, 3231, maybe you should have had your in-laws watch the game! Could've sold Cleveland even more. I taped it, in case you want to see it.

 

So what did your in-laws think of potential homes and/or neighborhoods? PM me if you prefer.

Coming off the high from Monday Night's game, this was a bucket of cold water-style shocker...congrats, you took our defense apart, and held our offense when it really counted...nicely done...

 

^they love Lakewood!  They've lived too many years in a cul-de-sac and have finally seen the light.

 

I wish that I could have be at CBS today. What a great win for the franchise!

Glad they liked Lakewood. So do I! ;)

Very classy, RV. I'm sure Lewis can't wait for the revenge game in Cincy (that's Marvin, not Jamal!).

What do you think made the difference today? I mean, I've been paying some attention this season, and I hadn't seen anything that would indicate they could do this, especially after last week.

 

I like that they are having Anderson throw bombs down field. Those are fun to watch :)

we should have a forum rule to discuss all battle of ohio games on the winner's board. 

 

by the way, why is there a wind turbine at the brown's stadium?

The turbine is at the Great Lakes Science Center next door. It was installed last year, right? It's sort of an example of what will hopefully be a larger wind farm out on Lake Erie.

The wind turbine actually provides electricity to the Great Lakes Science Center.

 

The improvements the Browns made in the off-season began showing in preseason, but they became more evident today. They made a lot of moves to upgrade the offensive line, and it looked like the line is starting to gel. That always takes time.

 

It's true that Jamal Lewis was a tremendous addition, but without the additions on the offensive line and giving them a chance to work together, getting Lewis wouldn't have meant as much.

 

I thought the Browns last year had some pretty decent receivers/tight ends which we kept, as well as some decent linebackers which we added to with Antwan Peek (from U of Cincinnati) in the off-season.

 

The Bengals exploited our ongoing weakness on the defensive line, and our "improvements" in the secondary haven't shown up yet.

 

And who really knows about QB Derrick Anderson? The guy has started only four games in the NFL. I guess we'll see.

 

The short summary is, most Browns fans I've heard from say the team improved in the off-season. How much? Only after they've had a chance to gel some more and stay healthy will we know.

Well one thing is for sure...it looked cool as hell in that camera shot.  As for the game...the Bengals made Anderson look like freaking Peyton Manning...and Jamal looked like he was young again.  In addition to that the whole team just looked to have extra pep in their step...even the FB was putting on spin moves and jukes.

 

What a wacky game...oh and Ocho Cinco got totally drenched with beer from that one dude in the dawg pound.  I'm guessing he was escorted out, but who knows?

Well, he was certainly asking for it...
