Satellite TV trucks were stacked up side-by-side in Berea, Ohio, and there were more media members watching from the sideline than players on the field.


The Cleveland Browns never had a rookie mini-camp look like this.
Wearing his familiar No. 10, and a shiny orange helmet he had dreamed of buckling on since he was a kid, Brady Quinn practiced for the first time as a pro quarterback as the Browns began a three-day camp for their draft picks and free agents.


When the 1 ½-hour workout ended, Quinn wanted more. ''I had too much fun out there,'' he said. ``I think the practice was too short for me. I've been waiting so long for this opportunity, and now it's come.''


Quinn, who wound up with the Browns after being passed over by the Dolphins and several other teams in the first round last Saturday, showed some offseason rust.


Media outnumber players as Quinn enjoys practice - 05/05/2007 - MiamiHerald.com

the Dolphins will be dreading this for years ........ and the Browns should be above .500 for many years to come

The interesting thing here, for me, is the comment that Quinn "showed some offseason rust." That should be very scary for Browns fans. We got no such report from Raiders camp about JaMarcus Russell or Detroit's regarding Calvin Johnson. Hopefully it is just rust, but it sure sounds like after one camp he's already falling behind some of the other elite players in the draft.

Come on now...didn't you read the JaMarcus post?...he under threw a receiver etc...the strongest arm in the NFL "under threw"...he had zip on some balls but he wasn't a world beater...cut Quinn a break...he has a massive, massive spot light on him...no matter what he does it's wrong...hey at least he is not hooking up with Paris Hilton like Leinart did last year...well, the fact that she is jail bound might be reason enough...

Just watched some video of Quinn at camp. The only thing I saw I really didn't like was he wasn't planting before he threw; the was trying to throw the ball on the run. This is where he needs a good QB coach or a veteran signalcaller to get in his ear about that. Shame the Browns have neither. I do think Quinn will be fine once all the pieces are in place, but his performance -- very early on, I will admit -- looks a little more raw than I would've expected considering who his collegiate coach was.
