Seachickens get C. Frye from Browns

[Shzm13]

the Browns have traded quarterback Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahwaks to make room on the roster for veteran Ken Dorsey.

The Browns will get a second day draft (6th round) in return for the one-time University of Akron starter.

If they couldn't trade him, the Browns had planned to cut Frye.

Dorsey was cut ten days before the season began. But after Frye’s dismal performance on Sunday against the Steelers, the decision was made to eliminate Frye.

In just over a quarter of play on Sunday against the Steelers, Frye was 4-of-10 for 34 yards and 1 INT. Frye was also sacked five times before giving way to Derek Anderson early in the second quarter.

No word yet from the Browns on who will start Sunday against the Bengals, but the fans on Sunday were chanting for rookie Brady Quinn.

The Seahawks have been in the market for a backup quarterback, which will free them up to use Seneca Wallace in other positions around the field.

Well, Quinn will see the field a lot sooner than expected...

Im just a bit shocked that they only had to give up a 6th rounder for him. I would've expected the Giants to make a run at him, but Seattles QB situation isn't that bad at all with Hasslebeck and Wallace.

It is sort of strange given that they locked up Wallace.

I wonder if Quinn will be starting next weekend.

And to everyone lamenting our latest loss, it could have been worse--we could have looked like the Browns.

 

[Shzm13]

I guess they plan on using Wallace at WR.

Its not too often you give up a 6th rounder for a starter. A bad one, at that.. But a starter none the less.

We would have against the Steelers.

We would have against the Steelers.

We'll have the chance to find out in Week 4.

Man I would have given our 6th easy to get him. Has starting experience in the NFL - that's invaluable. He played for very bad Browns teams and was a scapegoat. Not saying he skates from many of his performances, but to do that after only one game in the new season? First games are very unpredictable, but I guess they felt they weren't going forward quickly enough and "Quinn showed enough in pre-season to hand him the reigns. What if he gets hurt though - Dorsey, seriously?!

Did anyone consider that perhaps the hawks are looking to get some inside information about how the Brown's offense works, since they play them this year?













Okay, okay, I can't even type this with a straight face.

They brought in Dorsey because he and Quinn are fast friends and Dorsey will mentor him. Seriously.

He isn't a starter. He is a backup at best. There is no other team in the league he could start for. I think a 6th rounder is about right for a backup QB.

edit--maybe Oakland

That's OK but to rely on him as B/U, please.

 

[Gambit]

That's OK but to rely on him as B/U, please.

He's a third stringer. He'll likely never see the field. He probably is one of those guys who has a great mental understanding of the game but who can't translate that to on-field success because the talent isn't there. I'm sure he'll help Quinn adjust to the offense, and that's what he's there for.

Also to be his friend-for-hire on the team.

Who's the B/U QB then?

Derek Anderson

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

It wasn't a ringing endorsement when Crennel said he flipped a coin to determine his starter in the pre-season. Quinn will probably start in week 5 or 6 after their brutally tough start to the schedule is over with.

 

[fiddy64]

Don't forget Dorsey was Winslow's caddy at the U as well. Boy, have they rekindled that magic, eh?
