ESPN Dallas: Brady Quinn deal keeps looking better

[Randy White]

Like I said, just splitting hairs and showing it was not as simplistic as the article made it out to be. .

Got it..

 

[Bob Sacamano]

The Cowboys strongly considered drafting Quinn, who they ranked as a top-10 value.

Impossible. We didn't need a QB.

See when Jerry wants to sell more Ice to his eskimos... He uses the media to get ppl to forget about the yellow ice he is known to sell!

 

[Concord]

That will not placate the pissed off fans here. The only thing that will is if Williams starts being a factor.

Hey remember when we made that bet about who would turn out better...Brady Quinn vs Troy Smith?

You still have the advantage!

Damn it!

:bang2:

 

[MONT17]

Brady Quinn was drafted by the Browns... Who success in the first round is the who's who of first round bust since Tim Couch! I could see if Jerry traded with the Ravens or the Pats and made them look stupid... Besides if you look at Quinn you would never mistake him for a QB unless you are Charlie Wiess and TY Willingham!




Also give the kid a break he played in Cleveland... But then again if Quinn turns out to be Jim Plunkett, Jerry's eskimo machine will have problems spinning it!



More yellow ice for everyone!

As much as we rip on the Roy Williams deal, it's only right to point out when the Cowboys committed robbery in a trade.

That's the case with the 2007 draft-day deal, aka the Brady Quinn Con Job.

The Cleveland Browns gave up on Quinn yesterday, when new management shipped the young quarterback to Denver for a fullback, a sixth-round pick and a conditional draft pick. That's what Cleveland has to show for the high 2007 second-rounder and 2008 first-rounder they gave the Cowboys for the right to draft Quinn with the No. 22 overall pick.

The Cowboys parlayed those picks into two guys who will be core pieces around these parts for a long time. They traded up to get OLB Anthony Spencer in 2007 and drafted Felix Jones with the No. 22 overall pick the next season, after the Browns had surprising success. Spencer and Jones performed like Pro Bowlers down the stretch last season, but they're still just scratching the surface of their potential.

Quinn might develop into a decent quarterback in Denver, but that won't benefit the Browns other than increasing the value of the conditional pick.

The Cowboys strongly considered drafting Quinn, who they ranked as a top-10 value. The reason they didn't is Tony Romo. They wisely figured they'd be better off with two young players who could make an impact instead of a guy who wore a cap and held a clipboard.

Give Jerry Jones credit for convincing Cleveland to give up a pair of premium picks. It's the best trade he's made since Jimmy Johnson's days at Valley Ranch.

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose.. Jerry did very well on that , we need that type of consistency ever year. Heres to this years draft go get them Jerry

Its two different deals, so in my opinion one should not make you feel better or worse about the other. Now I loved the brady quinn deal, and I still do, but im not her seething over the roy williams deal. Mainly because its not my money, and williams gave us decent production for a 3rd passing option.

Yeah, but you're looking at it without emotion. That's not fair.

Roy Williams sucks.

I thought we were going to get the #1 overall pick. But some how the Browns played about as good as they could that year.

Yea, all of us were having wet dreams thinking about getting a top 5 or top 3 pick from Cleveland and they go and have the best year in franchise history since they came back into the league.

Totally pissed me off. Oh well, at least we got Felix out of the deal so it is all good.
