The (Almost) Mighty Quinn
I don't know why people are surprised that the Browns traded away Charlie Frye to Seattle for a 6th round draft pick. It's a damn smart move in my opinion. Only Frye's family and a few apologists could have supported him staying in Cleveland. The guy may have been "a gamer" with a lot of "experience in the huddle" and a bunch of other classically meaningless football talk. But he couldn't throw the football very well. And he's a quarterback. That's a problem.
Sure, they could have demoted him, but all that would have done is sent mixed signals to the team about who the leader on the squad was. And potentially created a dreaded quarterback controversy down the road when all of their QBs struggle.
Derek Anderson takes over as #2 for now. Anderson plays with a big arm and a small brain. Browns fans should get ready for a lot of interceptions for sure, and if they're lucky, he might throw some highlight reel touchdown passes along the way if he has improved his accuracy at all.
It's only a matter of time until the golden boy gets his shot.
