Frye Believes He Will Start Again

PD - Frye believes he will start again

[GP1]

It would be better if selections three and four were combined into "Will be a career back up who doesn't have what it takes." That's no slight either. Half the starters in the NFL stink. In a league full of really bad QBs, I see no reason why Frye can't survive another 4-5 years until he is priced out of a #2 or #3 position (he is not quite at that point right now, but close). He'll never start again as a first choice, but the starting experience he does have, while a disaster, will make him an attractive candidate for a team looking for a back up. The experience matters. At this point, Charlie needs to look at it as a really high paying job he needs to keep for as long as he can keep it.

The link didn't work for me. Here's a link to the Seattle paper.

Nice article. I'm glad to see he still has a positive attitude.Didn't he hold on to the ball too long in Cleveland though?

the way the line blocked for him here, holding the ball too long meant holding it over the count of ONE and not getting rid of it

I was hoping (*bites tongue*) that Hasselbeck would get hurt and Frye could go in and shine.Then, I heard the talking heads before last draft talk about how Seattle may have wanted to draft high to replace Hasselbeck and because of that, since then, I don't get the vibe that the Seahawks think of him as a future starter, I really think that Charlie is doomed to be Mr.Backup for the rest of his career.

This may be the case, but I always am hoping that somehow he will get the chance somewhere. He really does have the ability, just he hasn't got the support (receivers dropped passes, lineman didnt block/couldnt block, bad play calling). It just seems like everything went wrong for him.

Poor Charlie. He only gets to work at a job paying around $600,000 for the next 4-5 years doing little more than lifting weights and holding a clipboard. If he doesn't want it, I'll take it!

I hate to sound mean, but he really does NOT have the ability on any level and no amount of wishing will change that. His arm strength is not enough to be more than a #3. People say he held on to the ball too long....The truth is, he did, resulting in frequent fumbles, poorly thrown passes and down and distances too great for anyone to make up. When someone says a QB "holds onto the ball too long" they are really saying that person does not have the intellectual ability to perform in the NFL. People who are good engineers see the world a certain way that others don't. People who are good NFL QBs see the game a certain way that others do not. Charlie just isn't good at absorbing the NFL game as it is going on around him. That doesn't make him stupid, it just makes him unable to perform in the NFL at a high level.In the end, when you say "everything went wrong for him", it really wasn't everything. Charlie went wrong for Charlie and has nobody but himself to blame for being where he is. DA didn't have the same problems CF did and he played behind the exact same line, had the exact same RBs and had the exact same receivers. The Browns went 10-5 with DA starting last year and the fans actually have some hope going into 2008. While I don't know for sure, I don't see that team doing any better than 6-10 with Frye starting last year. Every team knew Frye was the weak link and exposed his weaknesses. The QB is the absolute worst place on the field to have your weak link.

I'm pulling for Frye, but I have to side with GP1 on this one, I don' t think he's got what it takes to be a successful starter. I pray that I'm wrong. He should always be working to be a starter and collecting a paycheck as the backup. He could end up very rich, and in great physical shape at the end of his career. That's better than I'm doing right now!
