REP: Gazing into the Smoke

The $50 million question: Is Brady Quinn's talent seen as nearly peerless, or is he a promising project too close to the Kyle Boller line? The answer is a secret Phil Savage will hold from now until April 28.

New Browns line coach Steve Marshall put it this way after guard Eric Steinbach signed: "You've got to protect your biggest commodity, and that's your quarterback."

Some teams will wonder if the Browns are up to another elaborate smokescreen. Just days before the 2004 draft, word leaked that Butch Davis made a last-minute scouting run to Oxford, presumably out of serious interest in Miami of Ohio's Roethlisberger.

Actually, Davis was so infatuated with tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. of Miami (Fla.) that he sacrificed a second-round draft pick to move up from No. 7 to No. 6 overall.
