Throw him to the wolves (Bengals)?
So who else is hoping Brady Quinn makes an appearence against the Bengals on Sunday? The sportswriter in me, always on the prowl for a good story, would love to see it. Though growing up near Willard, Ohio, Charlie Frye's hometown, I was a bit saddened to see him sent packing by the Browns, described here in the Akron Beacon Journal:
Frye, the kid who grew up with a poster of Bernie Kosar in his bedroom, achieved his childhood dream of playing quarterback for the Browns. But that dream ended Tuesday, when the former University of Akron standout was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round draft pick.
Soon, another Ohioan who dressed in Browns garb as a youngster, Dublin's Brady Quinn, will attempt to lead Cleveland's struggling franchise back to respectability.
The question of course, is when does Quinn get his chance. Here's hoping for Sunday.

How the heck do you go through a whole off-season and training camp and decide on your #1 QB and then trade him away after less than one half of a game?
That just screams of incompetence in the front office to me.
There is something we will never know about this trade. A reason we cannot know and is only known to the Browns front office. I speculate something was said between Frye and Crennel that precipitated a swift action. I might want a trade if I got pulled in 2nd Qtr of the first game. There was plenty of controversy going into game 1 with who was going to start.
It is a good day NOT to be a Browns fan.
