I'm pretty sure Spurrier tried that at least 3 times while he was here.

I think he did it during games.

Haha. Spurrier was over there before every possession flipping coins seeing who was going to go out there and get sacked.

Anyway, does it really matter who wins the toss? It is pre-season, both will get equal playing time to see who starts the season. Then who ever does the win the job, is just warming it up for Brady. So really, Romeo is saying 'I don't care who warms the seat up for Quinn'.

I'd like to think that if my job was on the line, I would have the balls to make my own decisions and sink or swim with them.

what kind of coach, at any level, would say this? then next season, he will wondering why he is out of work

Quinn will get it. You're not going to win with Frye, so might as well get the Quinn era started.

WOW. That is basically giving your job away. Either genius or insanity I guess. I'm at a loss..... This IS the Nationial Football League, right?

Quinn needs 2 start.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 08-10-2007, 10:34 PM

Quinn wont start. Frye will start, he's the better of the 2 eligible for starting, but Quinn will be thrust in if they dont win at least 3 of their first 5. Bank on that.

I'd agree with this assessment. It doesn't really matter who starts, that team is going to be better in the second half than the first.

GTripp0012 · 08-10-2007, 10:35 PM

Quinn is probably their best QB right now, rookie struggles to be expected and all, but in the long it really doesn't matter who they put in. 3rd year Anderson, 3rd year Frye, and rookie Quinn are all barely above replacement level.

I have Cleveland winning 8 games this year, but certainly not behind their offense.

8? Wow. Have they really improved that much on D? Last year all they effectively did on that side of the ball was look like us last year; awful. Maybe I'm underrating them. Then again, I dont think the Lions will win 8 games next year. They MIGHT put up a lot of points and make some FF owners happy, but they wont win games. Their lines on both sides of the ball are atrocious at best.

Overall, starting Quinn wouldnt be a bad idea. I think they agree that he IS their future so, might as well get him in there now. But you could make an argument for sitting him as well. All depends.
