dennisbergan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think the Browns are at the stage where their pants are not the difference between winning and losing. Really??? I would have guessed that a uniform was the reason why teams won and lost. The Browns need a QB BADLY, if they ever want to win some games (no matter what they are wearing). Brady Quinn is not the answer and never will be. He has a weak arm and looks scared or afraid to make a mistake. A typical overhyped, overrated Notre Damer.

A typical overhyped, overrated Notre Damer.Personally I think Quinn is one of those guys where if he had a coach who said 'thats our guy come what may' he would do pretty well. If I were the Browns GM I would trade Anderson, improve the line and get on with it. Wearing white pants. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I said this the day we drafted Quinn, and I'll say it again. He is garbage. He was overrated at ND, but of course the Browns picked him up, because they are terrible at drafting. There is a reason all of those teams passed on him in the first round.

The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 If I were the Browns GM I would trade Anderson, improve the line and get on with it.Improving an offensive line isn't something you just kinda "do." Quality offensive linemen are a limited commodity. Also, Anderson is a better quarterback than NOW I'M DONE is, so you'd be trading the wrong guy. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the others must have known something he didn't.Back to the pants.Paul Brown didn't even like the brown jerseys. Just think how he would feel about the pants.I like the white on white look with the striped socks. The orange pants were cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Orange or brown pants all day. I don't mind the white pants for the throwbacks, but other than that, I like a little variety. I would love to see the orange pants once or twice a year. They bring back good memories, because I remember when the Browns beat the Steelers on national television with those orange pants on. Plus, they wore the orange pants in the Kardiac Kids era, one of the only high points in Browns history since their 40's-50's dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 brown pants one the white jersey, as a change of pace...orange pants on the brown jersey, as a change of pace...white pants for both for equal amounts of time as their colorful counterparts.the perfect browns setup.

crashcarson15 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Found this on the Browns' chat board: "The Browns intend to wear brown pants and white jerseys on the road all season. Mangini said he decided on the radical look because he thought it looked good "and the guys felt the same way." Players also find the brown pants more comfortable and less restrictive because of the absence of a stripe down the legs."Anyone ever heard of stripes on the pants not being comfortable before?? Strangely, Brady Quinn mentioned it during the preseason - that the stripe was somehow restrictive. This appears to be the party line with the team. So if they go 0-8 at home, you know, uh, blame the stripes on their pants.If we even win a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if the Seahawks had a huge "be blue" marketing campaign, where everything they did was blue, and everything they sold was blue, etc., the marketing people may have a little bit of a problem if the team came out in white pants, or if the coach decided to dress them in white on white at home. These things are way bigger than the coach, who is essentially (in most cases - Andy Reid in Phila. is one of the exceptions) simply another employee.
