Around SBN: Jeff Sullivan's MLB Trade Deadline Primer

new teams for LT, Delhomme, and Quinn



No links provided. You'll have to take my word on things.

I was present for all of these acquisitions, anyway. Really.

Browns' QB Brady Quinn gets traded to Denver, for FB Peyton Hillis. Hillis was barely used last year in Denver. He is a tough runner, a nice reciever, and a good blocker. Hillis should help the Browns with power running; he may develop into a much-needed offensive weapon... but this is a great trade for the Broncos (especially considering Hillis barely even had a role in McDaniels' offense).

Chargers' RB LaDanian Tomlinson signs a deal with the NY Jets; and Panthers' QB Jake Delhomme signs with Cleveland.

IMO, Cleveland was much better off, standing pat, with the upside of Brady Quinn (or maybe even DA), rather than a skinny, decrepit, rag-armed signal caller (Delhomme). Yeah, then again, maybe they draft someone high... but most of the QB prospects this year are garbage (again, IMO). They should have made a greater commitment to the prospect they already had. This is changing for the sake of change. Same old Browns. Lots of action, but inevitably going nowhere.

Same with the Jets, who sign LT, after letting go of Thomas Jones. They also should have stood pat, right there.

That's some really convoluted football management. I must say.

I’m shocked Quinn was worth so little.

Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.

I'm not.

He’s garbage.

The Browns, with Delholmme the INT Machine, are much better without Anderson or Quinn.

Considering his “promise” and how little of a chance he has been given, especially on such a shit team as the browns, I would think maybe at least a sixth this year. shrug.

Garbage is an overstatement...

Brady just has an awkward throwing motion and isn’t accurate. He doesn’t fit in with Holmgren’s West Coast offense nor does he fit in with McDaniels and his system either.

I get why Cleveland moved him, but I don’t get why Denver wanted him (especially over Carolina).

A 2011 sixth round pick for a backup QB who could possibly be coached up doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.

Quinn’s throwing motion is nowhere near as horrible, as… say… Jack del Homme…

He’s not bulky, but he’s nowhere near as frail as del Homme or Seneca Wallace

He has quite a few inches of height on Seneca Wallace, at that.

Whatever. I guess Cleveland plans on completing less than 50% of their passes for at least a few more years.

If you count interceptions, they will complete more than 50% of their passes.

Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming.

with their horrible team overall, a geriatric side-armer, and a midget backup, even if we counted the INTs as completions towards that fifty-percent range would be highly generous
