There is no way to accurately judge him because of the pourous line that he played behind last year. I believe with the additions we have made and the possibility of Bentley playing at some point this season that we will be seeing a much improved Charlie Frye. I've always liked Frye and have thought that all he needed was a quality line in front of him for him to succeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17539316.post-45178004856974374532007-07-21T07:43:00.000-04:002007-07-21T07:43:00.000-04:00I think that your statements about Frye are right ...I think that your statements about Frye are right on the money. I'm not convinced that he's going to be a great NFL QB, but I think he has some potential and it's unfair to judge him based on what he had to work with last season. <BR/><BR/>Frye's also the most experienced QB on the team, and I think that's a big factor in his favor. With the gauntlet the Browns are going to have run during the first half of the season, I'm not inclined to turn the team over to a rookie or to a guy with limited mobility and two NFL starts to his credit. <BR/><BR/>Regardless of what people think about Quinn or Anderson's potential, I think that Frye gives the Browns the best chance to win in 2007.Hornless Rhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358963520899550238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17539316.post-79485253624593584882007-07-21T01:11:00.000-04:002007-07-21T01:11:00.000-04:00A statistical analysis of last season would be har...A statistical analysis of last season would be hard to justify. For one, oline does not produce a lot of measurable stats. Clearly that was an area of weakness that resonated through the entire team. The tone for the entire season was set on the offenses first play last year...Charlie throwing a bomb to Braylon, as Shaffer looks like a statue, getting burned so bad he has to tackle the DE just so Frye doesnt get killed. So much potential on offense, never to be realized due to the oline.<BR/><BR/>Charlie may not only look much better behind a great offensive line, but also with having another year of experience under his belt. It seemed last year he was pressing and trying to do what he did at Akron, take chances and try to force a win. I do not see why he can not be adequately coached to manage the game more conservatively. If not, maybe DA can. But that is something a stat would not predict about the upcoming season either. NFL QB has been strange in recent years, it seems like you have Manning and Brady, then a bunch of flash in the pans that fizzle quick.<BR/><BR/>Being an NFL predictor is the easiest job in the world. Take all the teams record from last year, add or subtract 2 wins based on how you feel they did in the off season, and no one will argue with you. No one would dare go out on a limb and predict the saints, baltimore, etc, would have the seasons they did. Parity from the salary cap makes the talent levels so close these days, things like injuries, turnover ratios..basically luck, make a huge difference on final records.<BR/><BR/>I was going to make a bunch of other arguments, but you did a fine job answering them in the 2nd half of the post.<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to the upcoming season. I hope the rookies get in on time, particularly Thomas and Wright.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
