I do think pretty highly of their defense this year. Leigh Bodden is a great corner. Kamerion Wimbley and D'Qwell Jackson quietly had great rookie years. I think they will take the next step.

But the main reason I say 8 and not 7 or 6 is because of a soft out-of-division schedule. NFC West for starters, and a 4th place divisional schedule, giving them Houston, Oakland, and Miami. They will win more games than those 3 teams.

I see playoffs for them next season (2008), when Quinn begins to look like the Carson Palmer of 2004.

Don't forget SS Sean Jones on that D of theirs, I think he is going to become one of the elite safeties in the league in a few years, but anyways I think Brady Quinn is going to be absolutely horrible in the NFL, and I think the Browns have a better chance at winning with Frye and Anderson starting over Quinn.

Maybe as a rookie, but the evidence suggests that come the 2008 season, Quinn will leave the other two in the dust.

I really don't understand all the Brady Quinn hype, from what I heard he looked horrible in OTA workouts, and I think there is a reason he dropped so far in the draft I just don't think there were many GM's that saw franchise QB potential in him. But only time will tell. My guess is he is just going to be a mediocre QB at best.

Look at his college stats for 1, look at his size for 2, how many QB's went ahead of him in the draft (1) is 3, and the fact that he was still picked in the FIRST round, and the fact that someone traded up to get him is 4.
Just because he "fell" from what the "experts" though means nothing.
Don't be fooled, Quinn has all the tools.

Sure he started 45 games at ND, but I mean if you look bad in OTA's its time to hang it up!

Your position does seem to be majority opinion, although most have come to your conclusion for different reasons.

Lucky me dinner is almost ready and by the time I'm done eating I get to watch the Skins.

Well sure it was OTA's I'll give you that, but what exactly did he do at ND? From what I remember he choked in all of his big games, and not to mention he didn't reach any of the three goals he set for himself. On the flip side I would love to hear your reasoning on why you think he is going to be a good QB? Like I said only time will tell with him, and he will get his chance, but I just don't see it.

Well Ron Powlus started 46 games at ND didn't he? And he was Quinn's QB coach wasn't he?

So put that in your metric pipe and smoke it!

LOL...well Powlus didn't have the stats that Quinn has, nor the talent.
But good post none the less.
