Laura Quinn embarassed, changes name

I fell asleep one pick before it happened, thankfully. If I'd been awake for this, we'd be looking at buying a new TV. After making a brilliant selection with their first choice, Joe Thomas, the Browns saw Brady Quinn and figured, "Aww, look how sad he is. Hey Romeo, we need help at a lot of positions, but is it cool if we screw the team and give up a 1st and a 2nd round pick for a guy 21 teams already passed on? Seriously, he wasn't good enough for us take when it was our turn, but look, he's really sad."

Treeeemendous. Many fans wanted him, making the argument that "He'd be the face of the franchise that we've been waiting for." I'm sorry, we've had a team for the last 8 years, you've had the opportunity make any of the players passing through town the "face of the franchise". So much for no one player being bigger than the team. And how is this guy the face of the franchise? He's not even the face of his family.

"He fits the mold of the person you want representing your team." Whoa boy, let's take a look at this mold. Average accuracy, average arm, easily rattled, falters in big games, proven winner on NO level. Not exactly an impressive skill set. What has this guy done to justify the hype he's gotten? May as well check out his "intangibles". Uh, he's white. And religious. And possibly gay. Looks like JP Losman. Oh wait, he played for Charlie Weis. So we're using the argument that because he played for a good coach, then he must be a good player? That's all well and good until the numbers and game film prove differently. If Weis couldn't win a big game with this guy in college, how are the Browns going to win with him? He's "groomed for the NFL". So he's a brainless dolt who has been trained for this? Great, wouldn't want a dynamic individual who could think on his own. Shoot, I'm being a spoilsport, he's the "face of the franchise" (I'm going to use that term in everyday situations, and it's not necessarily a compliment). This is one hell of a long, incoherent paragraph but I'll sum it up by guessing this guy isn't going to be very popular with non-Caucasians.

Wait til this tall drink of water holds out. I know a lot of Browns fans have already jumped on the Brady Quinn bandwagon, but he's still far behind Bobby and Buckner on my favorite "Quinn" list. If he ever dares argue, "I'm a Top 5 talent, everyone said so. I deserve Top 5 money," the Browns had better laugh in his friggin face. "Top 5, huh? Then why did we have to save your ass from falling like a bridesmaid's dressing on wedding night? 21 teams didn't want you. Hell, even the Dolphins took Ted Ginn and not you. Piss off."

I'd bet anything that someone on the team jacks this guy in the mouth before the first game of the season. Best odds are it being Joe Thomas. Wait til Quinn sees how much less he'll get paid and lets it slip one day at practice that he thinks he's better than Thomas. The Bass Master will put him in his place.

If I understand this correctly, the Browns used three 1st rounds picks, one 2nd rounder, a 3rd and a 6th and got 3 players out of it. 6 picks to take 3 players. Unbelievable.
