Brady Quinn & the Cleveland Browns: Eight Questions Answered
Published: December 31, 2009

Eric Mangini came into Cleveland with high expectations, not only from the fans, but also the media.
To date he’s fulfilled those expectations about as well as Tiger Woods has his marital vows. I digress though, and that’s for another article.
To be frank and honest, it’s been miserable under Mangini, and he himself has done nothing to address the shortcomings of his “system” or his personality for that matter. This team has been dwindling in mediocrity all season long.
And yes, I realize they’ve won 3 in a row. But getting excited over beating two of the worst teams in the NFL doesn’t really do much for me. Really, that’s like Chuck Liddell being excited he just kicked a cell phone salesmen’s ass.
The problems with this Browns team are a plenty, there’s no doubting that. One could look at the D, the O, the play calling, the lack of playmakers or any other multitude of items and find something to pick apart with relative ease.
Alas, there’s a glimmer of hope, and that’s coming directly from one Mike Holmgren, who’s mere presence is shining like the North star on a clear night. Giving ALL of us some hope for this Browns franchise.
He’s a proven winner, and perhaps the best QB developer in the history of the NFL. Not my words….those are the words of one Jim Rome, and those sentiments have been echoed by Mariucci, Favre, Shanahan, Mora and many others alike.
Bottom line here, Cleveland IS going to have a good QB. Whether that’s Quinn or someone else, it’s going to happen. And, for that, I’m completely pumped!
So, with knowing that Holmgren can develop a QB with the best of them, I’d like to take a look at Brady Quinn, and his prospects going forward. Let me preface my point of views by stating this…..I was NEVER a fan of drafting Brady Quinn, and I’ve never really been a fan of his. BUT, I do believe the guy has been short changed…..badly.
So, here’s Eight Questions and Eight Answers for all of you to sink your teeth into…..
Week 13: NFL Picks & Predictions

I pick ’em every week and have for years. This season, I’ve been doing most of my picks right here on bleacherreport.com and also over at my site sports-uncut.com.
Going into last week (12), I was a solid if unspectacular 114-46, good for a 72.5 percent accuracy rate.
Last season was my personal best of right at 80%. This year, I’m looking to improve upon that, but these 10-6 weeks are killing me, and I gotta get at least 11 wins this week! Maybe I should pick Denver huh?
This week, there is only one game on Thursday, as opposed to last week when there were 3. Which leads me to mentioning that I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving with your families and friends! I know I did, however, I do what I always say I won’t, and that’s over eat to the point of being miserable! Damn Pumpkin Pie……
Anyway, this week’s Thursday night game pits the New York Jets at Buffalo in what’s sure to be a barn burner…..
the good news is that there are some decent games this week, nothing really great, but some decent games aside from the dud on Thursday. As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks; I’m picking the straight-up winner.
Record:
Record from Two Weeks Previous (11): 11-4
Record from Last Week (12): 10-6
Record coming into Week 13: 124 – 52 (70.4 percent)
Now that the records are out of the way, let’s get right to it!

Going into last week (eleven), I was a solid if unspectacular 103-42, good for a 70.6 percent accuracy rate. Last season was my personal best of 80 percent. This year, I’m looking to improve upon that.
Last week I actually didn’t have time to do the article as work requirements kept me away, however I did pick in my local pool and I ended up 11-4 for the week and my picks here never vary from those. I missed the Pittsburgh vs. Chiefs game, as I picked the Steelers. I missed the Falcons/Giants game, as I thought Matty Ice would be solid against the G-Men. I missed the Cincy/Oakland game, as basically everyone else did….who’d have though hat game would play out like that? And finally, I also missed the Houston/Tennessee game last night as I though Schaub would have a monster night.
This week, there are 3 games on Thursday, which means plenty of time to gorge yourself and ample opportunities to watch some pigskin! You’ve got Green Bay @ Detroit on Fox, Oakland @ Dallas on CBS and of course the G-Men @ Denver on Thursday Night Football on NFL network.
There are some good games and intriguing matchups on the slate for this week. As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks; I’m picking the straight up winner.
Record:
Record from Two Weeks Previous (10): 10-5
Record from Last Week (11): 11-4
Record coming into Week (12): 114 – 46 (72.5 percent)

I pick ’em every week and have for years. This season, I’ve been doing most of my picks right here on bleacherreport.com and also over at my site at www.sports-uncut.com.
Going into last week (9), I was a solid if unspectacular 82-35, good for a 70.0 percent accuracy rate. Last season was my personal best of 80 percent. This year, I’m looking to improve that!
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been good, going 21-5 and I finished Week 9 with a solid 11-2 record, not bad by my standards.
This week marks the first week of Thursday Night Football on NFL network when the Bears travel to San Fran., and I’m hoping that I don’t have to hear any more of Gumble than necessary…..
It’s a new week, so let’s get on with it!
As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks; I’m picking the straight up winner.
Record
Record from Two Weeks Previous (8): 10-3
Record from Last Week (9): 11-2

As most of you know, I pick em’ every week and have for years, I’ve been doing most of my picks right here on bleacherreport.com and also over at my site at www.sports-uncut.com.
Going into last Week (7) I was a solid, if unspectacular 63-27, good for a 70.0 percent accuracy rate. Last season was my personal best of 80 percent. This year, I’m looking to improve that! Over the last 2 Weeks, the consecutive 9-5 picks have lowered my average a little, alas, it’ll come back, I know it will!
I finished Week 7 with an average 9-5 record, not great….but, not bad either. Hind sight being 20/20, I would have picked the Cards, but, who realistically thought that was going to happen? I guess a saints pick would have helped too….Oh well, it’s a new week, and I gotta get better!
As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks, I’m picking the straight up winner.
Byes this week: Bengals, Chiefs, Patriots, Steelers, Buccaneers & Redskins
Record:
Record from 2 Weeks Previous (6): 9-5
Record from last Week (7): 9-5
Record coming into Week (8): 72-32 (67.2 percent)

Going into last Week (6) I was a solid, if unspectacular 54-22, good for a 71.05 percent accuracy rate. Last season was my personal best of right at 80 percent, this year, I’m looking to improve that! It’s slowly getting better and better!
I finished Week 6 with an average 9-5 record, not great….but, not bad either. My percentage did dip from 71, but only by one point. The Philly v Oakland game came out of left field! Regardless, this week, I’m looking to improve upon that performance greatly!
As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks, I’m picking the straight up winner. So, let’s get to it!
Record:
Record from 2 Weeks Previous (5): 11-3
Record from last Week (6): 9-5
