Quebert Spouting Off

Check out Mary Kay Cabot's article in the PD today -- it reads like the Browns PR staff is her editor. I mean, Sunday was a great performance but it's a bit over the top.... my favorite quotes:

• Cabot writing "For starters, Kevin Johnson is gone and the receiving corps has been upgraded as a result." This could very well be the truth, but the jury is still very much out, isn't it? Heck, I tend to agree with the crux of the statement but one game does not a season make. And what's up with, "For starters..."???
  
• The unbelievably annoying quots from "Quebert" Morgan continue --

  Why did the blocking look so good against Arizona? "[Johnson] wasn't here, so it looked extra good," Morgan said.

  Give me a break! Maybe the blocking was good cause the offensive line was healthy! Maybe cause Quincy wasn't getting called for holding! Maybe cause they hardly ran the ball to the outside!!! This dude is one heck of a comedian (which is entertaining), but he's sure not sounding like a close buddy to KJ (as he stated last week). Also, a fellow die-hard Browns fans emails me to say, "I specifically tried to watch him on run plays, and twice (that I could see on TV) he just stood there as the corner that was on him went down and had a part in the tackle."
  
• Morgan again:

  What's more, when the Browns do beat the zone and hit a slant, there will be more of a chance it will go beyond the first-down marker.
  
  "You saw [Johnson] run that [slant] route for five years," Morgan said. "He'd catch it and fall."

  Again, this may be true to an extent. But I'd like to suggest that, had it been Quincy Morgan who had been unceromoniously cut from the team, we might have seen a teammate say something like:

  "You saw [Moragn] run that [slant] route for three years," Northcutt/King/Jackson/Holcomb said. "He'd drop or fumble it half the time."

Ah well, what are you gonna do? Maybe Quincy wants to be a loudmouth. Maybe he wants to be in that beer commercial where the guy fumbles for times but still refuses to accept responsibility for a loss. Heck, maybe Butch Davis decided that what this Browns team really needs is a guy like Terrell Owens and now we have one. For some games anyway.
