Who ever we get on satrurday will be the automatic starter and KC will be gone. You can't draft or trade for a guy in the first round and then have him try and earn the job. That is the problem the Browns has when they first drafted Quinn. The fair price for Quinn would be our #17 for their 2nd next year and Quinn. They don't have a 2nd this year and no way we should pay more than a #22 pick which is what they paid for a guy Mangini dopesn't want. At least Quinn and their #104. Campbell is worth no more than a #52 and we get Campbell with #80. Its real obvious they don't want him and now he doesn't want to be there. Sanchez would be worth #17 this year and a 2nd round next year. (Which I'm hoping is in the 60s.)
I would take Sanchez and for a really bad reason. He is the only one of the group with no experience in the NFL so we have no idea how he will do. Neither does Freeman but who cares. We do know what the rest of them can and can't do and I don't see a franchise QB among them.
If they drafted a rookie and just automatically named him the starter I think you would have an extremely pissed off Clemens and Ratliff, and rightfully so. I could imagine a scenario where a guy gets drafted and then somehow proves himself enough in the offseason that he gets a chance to play in his rookie year, but I just don't see Rex turning around and canceling the QB competition outright after he's consistently said that they deserve their fair shot at winning the starting spot. That would be pretty harsh.
Wat? Why not? Rivers and Rodgers were first rounders who warmed the bench. The problem with the Browns is that they're not ready to commit to Quinn when he's clearly their best option.
So because he had a rookie last year he will therefore want one this year? I'm just trying to understand why you think it would be a foregone conclusion.
