Brady “Men’s Fitness Cover Boy” Quinn is looking so very fine in his cover shots that you have to wonder how in the hell do you not draft him if you live in MIAMI? I mean if I’m a GM, I get this good looking kid down there with all the models in South Beach and turn him into the 21st century version of Broadway Joe. Hell, Namath lives down in Florida and I’m sure he was champing at the bit to ditch his whole sober AA thing and get that young Irish kid from Notre Dame a frickin’ drink so they can both make fools of themselves and harass Suzy Kolber!
That whole dream was dashed however when Quinn ended up with The Browns, his boyhood team. If there is such a thing as justice in this world, I didn’t think it would be served in Cleveland. Fact is you Browns still need a lot of work and time is running out on Romeo Crennel. With Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson at QB you’re going nowhere fast. Let’s just get this over with now and stick the kid in there. I do expect Quinn will be the Browns starter by week 8.
I like the move of getting Jamal Lewis as I think he was just getting stale in Baltimore. With a new lease on life, I see the former convict going for over a 1,000 yards this year. Anybody seen the “former soldier” Kellen Winslow, Jr. lately or the “Mouth from Michigan” Braylon Edwards? If these two yo-yo’s don’t start producing a helluva lot more yards on the field instead of sound bites for reporters this year, they will become Raider material in the off-season.
The Browns defense is starting to come around with some very good draft picks the past couple of years. Linebackers Andra Davis and Kamerion Wimbley are quite good and safeties Brodney Pool and Sean Jones give the Browns some pieces to make for grind it out, hard hitting match-ups on certain Sundays. If this unit is taken too lightly, they will make it difficult to score a lot of points on.
The Browns are improving and I see chances of some legitimate success but it will be in 2008-2009 not 2007, unless of course ol’Namath comes to town with his mink Coat and tells Quinn to just have a few drinks, get a couple of ladies and wing it downfield.
