The first few drops were his fault for putting 50 yard velocity on a 5 yard pass but a lot of those passes should have been caught. If you think Ratliff or Quinn would have done any better you are way off. Sounds like you were looking for an excuse to rip DA. Lets see how he does next week at Pittsburgh.

2 of 17… That stat will remain with me until I see something worse! Everyone in Cleveland bashed Braylon for his drops. Braylon opened up the field for the rest of the offense. You had to cover him, sometimes double him. There is not one receiver that commands a double team on the Browns anymore! I do agree with your views on the drops, but ultimately D.A. was 2 of 17, period. What bothers me about this entire situation was how Brady Quinn was done, or done wrong. Derek Anderson had a worse half of football then Quinn in the Ravens game. I think that Eric Mangini is playing a game with this season to manipulate the fans into wanting Ratliff in as the starter, just like he has wanted all along. He just could not go through with it immediately because Quinn was a first round pick, and D.A. was a pro-bowler in 2007. He had to let these two hang themselves before he could put in Ratliff to save face with the media if Ratliff did not produce… My opinion.

Thanks for writing in.
