Brady Quinn (Fox CFB Analyst)

One cannot underestimate the importance of proper lubrication.

I was assuming lubrication .

 

[Buckeyedynasty]

And somewhere, King Rhabuf's right hand is becoming heavily callused.

Welcome to the Browns Brady, NOW GET YOUR ASS TO CAMP!

Boy this thread has taken a disturbingly homo-erotic twist.


Still not as limp-wristed as Brady, though.

Whoever wrote that doesn't know all the specifics for the NFL. You can only be franchised one time without having a new contract written up.

A person can be franchised consecutive years. The thing here, is that being offered a standard franchise contract, is that they are 1 year contracts that are offered, since that is the only way the club will be able to use the franchise designation the following year. If a team were to submit a franchise contract to a player for a 5 year period and it would be signed by the player, then they would not be able to designate any other players with the franchise tag over that 5 year period. So the way they get around this, is to offer a 1 year franchise deal, and then agree to a separate contract that gives the player a new 5 year deal. That way the player gets the contract he wants, and the team can designate other players with the franchise tag over the following 4 years, if need be.

So yes, a team could theoretically continually designate a player with the franchise tag over several consecutive years provided the player continues to sign each 1 year contract. This has happened in the past to such players as Charles Woodson and John Abraham.

What most players are doing now, is that they are only agreeing to sign the one year deals provided the team writes into the contract that they will not
designate that player with the franchise tag the following year. That assures the player that he will either work out a longer contract with the team or that he will be able to hit the free agent market.

Our long national nightmare is over:

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Quinn agrees to 5-year deal with Browns

Or possibly just beginning.

It looks like his agent did his job. Best of luck to Brady.

As well they should. No one can fault the Browns for this mess except for wasting a draft pick on this turd.

I think they can be faulted for wasting 2 draft picks on him. The second rounder this year, and next year's first-rounder.

They saved a bunch of money on their QB insurance, though... much cheaper than a real QB named Brohm.

I know what you mean JC, but you know what they mean too.

It is 100% a bunch of Bullshit that BQ has pulled so far, and he hasn't even made his first actual practice yet. Practice? We talkin' bout practice? We talkin' bout practice, man!

But I will continue to wait to forge my judgment on the guy as an actual NFL player before I run him out of town. Sure the circumstances of the entire situation magnify it, as does the history of the Browns since their return to the NFL. He certainly isn't the first or the last rookie to hold out, as there are even 2 left this year. But I say the Browns are going to turn this thing around one way or another, and BQ could still be a big part of that. As well as he may not be. Only time will tell.

But he sure is off to an awful start....

If he shocks the world and becomes something, I'll take some salt and ketchup with that crow

But if he doesn't and unfortunately I don't think any of us outside of Rhabuf have ever seen anything from him that might indicate such, this might be the last major move this front office makes.

New Browns quarterback Brady Quinn shouldn't be hindered by past, says Bill Livingston

Wednesday, August 08, 2007 Bill Livingston

Plain Dealer Columnist
The play by Brady Quinn sticks with me, like a charley horse you can't walk off.
Maybe such things won't lame him with the Browns. Maybe they will.
Past doesn't have to be prelude, but the competitive conditions with the Browns in the AFC North will be similar to what he faced with Notre Dame in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State. That was the game in which Troy Smith, who didn't have the size of Quinn or the wiliness of Charlie Weis' pro playbook, outplayed Quinn widely because he had better players with him.

Continued.....

I'll be happy to eat crow if Brandy Quinn turns into the next Peyton Manning. His only problem is that that relies on him not sucking, which is going to be tough for him.
