For those who do not know, Cleveland-Denver have had a classic rivalry in the eighties with the Browns losing three out of four AFC Championship Games to the Broncos in the late 80s. With games like Ernest Byner fumbling on the goal line, or John Elway signature moment (before the Super Bowl wins) known as "The Drive." The Broncos have tormented the Browns hearts, I believe this will happened again in the near future with the recent trade of Brady Quinn.
The Cleveland Browns and their new head boss Mike Holmgren decided to get rid of Quinn and Derek Anderson in favor of Jake Delhomme... Yeah that makes sense. The Browns dealt Quinn to the Denver Broncos receiving basically a bag of potatoes. I personally think this is a huge mistake and could be the another chapter in the Broncos breaking the hearts of Clevlenad fans.
While I agree that Quinn has not been as good of a quarterback that I expected and others probably thought when he first came out of Notre Dame. But the team around Quinn hasn't been worth a damn, therefore I feel it is hard to determine how good he really is. I do agree that Quinn might be a bit soft compared to others and that has been proved to be a problem with Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels is the major reason why Quinn will excel. Look at the way, he molded Johnathan Mox.. er Matt Cassel after Tom Brady went down with injury. I think he is a great offensive mastermind and Brandon Marshall likely is out of Denver so it will be a rebuilding process for the next couple of years. Quinn and Knowshon Moreno are both great building blocks to start a franchise with and they could still win the AFC West with the San Diego Chargers looking worst, and the uncertainty of the Oakland Raiders/Kansas City Chiefs.
