Former Browns QB Trent Dilfer, now with ESPN, tells WKNR’s Kenny Roda he “couldn’t disagree more” with the Browns decision to start Brady Quinn on Thursday.
Dilfer said in his opinion, the Cleveland Browns fans base is too powerful and call too many shots. Moves made by the organization to placate fans is never a good idea, he said.

On the other hand, “Quinn is a talented kid” who may do a good job. But the Browns need a lot more help than a new quarterback to turn the Browns 3-5 season around, he said.
The Browns playmakers have not been making plays and that was not Browns former starting quarterback Derek Anderson’s fault, Dilfer said. Roda brought up the fact that Braylon Edwards, the Browns wide receiver, and a 2007 pro bowl player, dropped a key pass in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore before 70,000 home fans, many of whom were chanting “Brady, Brady” at the end of the fourth quarter.
“I know the Browns fans’ frustration, I was there, in Cleveland” Dilfer said. “But everytime it gets tough,” the Browns organization caves in to the whims and will of the fans.
I believe Dilfer’s feathers are ruffled because he, himself, was the object of the Cleveland boo birds when he played.

WKNR is now playing, “The Mighty Quinn”.a 70s song about Quinn the Eskimo. (“When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody gonna want a dose..”
Hey, just because the Columbus, Ohio native is good-looking doesn’t mean he is just another pretty face.
But I am afraid that Quinn will soon know how it felt to be Tim Couch, the Kentucky quarterback who was made starting QB by Top Men who wanted to please fans.
By the way, Couch was the only Browns QB able to beat Pittsburgh since 1999.
Roda also reports that Crennel told reporters earlier today that he had no plans to change quarterbacks, leading more than one reporter to believe the edict came down from above (Savage) to take Browns fans’ minds and comments away from Sunday’s devastating loss.
