BRADY THROWS SOME "WOUNDED DUCKS"
Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that quarterback Brady Quinn's first practice with the Browns featured some of the accuracy problems that kept him on the board for 21 picks last Saturday.
Writes Grossi: "It did not go unnoticed by the inflated media throng on hand that Quinn threw consecutive balls into a brisk wind that could be described charitably as wounded ducks. Each ball looked to hit a brick wall in midair and plummet, one far short of the intended and uncovered receiver."
Per Grossi, Quinn compensated for the wind on the next try . . . by overthrowing the receiver.

:err:

This is getting ridiculous, you mean he threw a couple bad balls in practice after not playing for a couple months? Amazing.

just read that as well, but most if not all rook QB's will be rusty going into their very first NFL minicamp with new playbooks/systems. With that said, I'm still glad we drafted Beck...

Beck didn't exactly impress his first day at camp either .. this is just the media trying to stir something up.
