Who would trade for Frye? If he can't make it in Cleveland, where else would he go?
Great questions.Just passing along what went down not too long ago.Who would trade for Frye? If he can't make it in Cleveland, where else would he go?
Atlanta is another candidate. How about Philly? McNabb's still recovering, Kolb's not ready, and Feeley got injured, right?
Why would a team give something up for Frye when they can have Leftwich without giving up anything?Leftwich>>Frye
Philly and Cleveland worked together in crunch time when the Browns needed center help badly last year (Fraley). Another possibility I suppose.
I think you have this backwards. If a player can't make it in a great situation, then there isn't much to believe he'd be able to make it somewhere else.But we're talking about a player who isn't making it in the worst situation in the league. It's not unthinkable that he could be at the least a decent backup on an NFL-caliber team.Who would trade for Frye? If he can't make it in Cleveland, where else would he go?
Stop using this word. TIA
Maybe Lefty is delusional and demanding big money...
the Pats will in turn trade him to Oakland for a 4th rounder
At what time will the sense be arriving?
I can't imagine him coming to Philly. McNabb's fine, Kolb IS ready, and Feeley's broken bone is in his non-throwing hand, and I can't see them adding a roster spot for a QB who is about to be dumped by the Browns, of all teams.Philly and Cleveland worked together in crunch time when the Browns needed center help badly last year (Fraley). Another possibility I suppose.
because he's had his hands tied by management with Brady Quinn, and Anderson is just as horrible. He looked every it as bad as Frye in the preseason. These guys need to just quit playing games and start Quinn already. Frye probably wasnt going to be a real happy camper in that lockerroom as a 3rd stringer....no matter how much of an NFL scrub we all know he is.

It came unbidden to Phil Savage's desk
Yeah, maybe! I did think of that but still, wouldn't it still be smarter to over pay for Leftwich a little than to lose somebody off your roster for Frye? Of course you could probably trade the ball boy for Frye and I doubt the ball boy's salary counts much against the cap.Maybe Lefty is delusional and demanding big money...
Then you either play Frye no matter what since you know your season is a wash and you're just buying time for Quinn, or you throw Quinn in from the beginning and let him sink or swim. Switching from Frye to Anderson in the middle of the first game of the season made absolutely no sense.
So. I've seen the mentoring theory work (and sometimes fail). I think it's a good plan, in general.Aren't mentor usually, though, a QB who has had at least a modicum of success in the NFL? Someone who has played more than 13 games in his entire career?????
I agree, and I find it pretty funny too. An article from this morning is right here.I wonder where Frye is headed.
Yes, he was in town yesterday. They almost kept 4 QBs for this reason. There was also speculation during the preseason that Frye or Anderson would be cut to keep Dorsey.I also heard yesterday that Dorsey might start Sunday. Long shot rumor from no good sources, but would be hilarity as far as Romeo goes.
Grove, I completely agree with the 2nd part of your statement. Quinn should have been in their from the beginning, and thrown a friggin' oar and a life jacket. he's gonna take his lumps. but these idiots act like he's a girlscout who has no clue. The switch was just like some kind of instant Haiku. Like lightning struck someone's head, and they suddenly realized Charlie Frye sucks. It made no sense, but better late than never. Or in this case, better early in the season than later. And at this point, why not just CUT Charlie Frye. If it drags out beyond a day, its even more ridiculous. If this news is out, and they cant move him within a few hours, make it happen. Dont drag the rest of the players thru all this crap. They all know Quinn is the best guy theyve got.
I don't know, maybe you should dig into that.What if Dorsey is a pure football genius, just doesn't have the physical tools to compete in the NFL?
Then he has a 50/50 shot at being the Cowboys Offensive Coordinator in a couple of seasons.
Bunch of reasons:It has an effect on many other situations including starters/potential waiver wire pickups. It could affect Leftwich's stock and his potential future team, TheHeftyLefty, etc.Not to mention, could mean big things for Quinn
Also, of course, people love to see trainwrecks. This only adds to one giant one.
Sometimes I wonder at the braintrust in the NFL. Why would anyone trade for a player when it's known that said player is about to be cut?
Because you want him and are afraid that another team will be able to claim him ahead of you.The bigger problem with the braintrust of many NFL clubs is that they treat their situation like they're running the Mahattan Project and are more interested in creating deception and subterfuge than they are in actually coaching.HangingInThere said:
"Hi Charlie! It's the Atlanta Falcons. We'd like you to come hold a clipboard and watch Joey Harrington lead our team to a lottery pick. Whaddya say?"*click*HangingInThere said:
Well, yeah, actually I see your point. Once a free agent, a player can always opt not to sign with a crappy team. Good point.Not so sure that Charlie will exactly have his pick of the crop cream, but still, I see what you mean.
I mean seriously....Does Romeo (and other coaches of poor teams) really think that the elite teams are going to change their gameplans if Brady Quinn is the QB instead of Frye or Anderson, for example? Hey Romeo, the good teams dictate the game to the poor, not the other way around.
