Charlie Lester Frye
Height: 6-4 Weight: 217 Age: 25
Born: 8/28/1981 Norwalk , OH
College: Akron
Experience: 3rd season
High School: Willard HS [OH]
Games Played/Started:
2005 (7/5); 2006 (13/13)
Career Totals
20 games, 18 starts
Pro Career Highlights
Started 13 games in 2006 (4-9 record) and had the second-highest completion percentage in a single season in franchise history by completing 64.1% of passes (252-of-393)…Had a career-high 3 passing TDs at Oakland on Oct. 1, 2006, in a 24-21 road victory…In his first NFL start vs. Jacksonville on Dec. 4, 2005, established a franchise single-game rookie record with a 136.7 QB rating on 13-of-20 passing for 226 yards and 2 TDs.
College Stats.
Threw for over 11000 yds and 64tds with only 32 picks. Spent 4 years at Akron in a pro style offense under Lee Owens. Ran the ball well. MVP of Senior Bowl. Threw for 3500yds and 22TD's as a Junior
Intangibles. Tall, Strong Arm, Accurate and smart. Right Handed QB. Decent Mobility.
Goose's Take
So here is my 2 cents on the Charlie Frye Trade. Getting a young QB who was a starter for a 5th round pick is in itself a good deal. Frye has the physical skills to be a QB. However he has spent the last 3 years in the Browns, with 3 different Offensive Coordinators and has never been in a true "West Coast Offense" Has this trade been made in April, I would have been pretty stoked. I have a hard time seeing Frye pick up Homlgrens west coast offense in two or three weeks. I have a hard time believing that this move will help us this year, however if he can pick up the Holmgren offense quicker than most, then you have a solid Backup QB.
Thats the Goose Report for today

Nice work on the stat breakdown Goose.
While I would like to think that this will help us this year....in the form of Seneca getting his ass on the field for a few downs at receiver....I think this is purely a move for the future. Maybe the future is simply late this season when some big plays have to be made....hard to say.
Apparently, T. Ruskell was really enamored with the guy during the draft a year ago....so he must be the prototypical-Ruskell-character-guy.....which seems to be working so far.
As for Jim's comment yesterday that Tim Ruskell can do no wrong....I think right now, it's hard to disagree with that idea. Is it a coincidence that once he started removing guys that were identified as having less than stellar attitudes our team all of a sudden got better? ....most likely not. He seems to have his eyes on the bigger picture....he doesn't make hasty/immediate gratification type moves (aside from the retaliatory signing of Nate Burleson...which all of a sudden is panning out pretty well by the way...) and I LOVE the bigger picture.
In other words....I don't care if what they are doing makes the most sense.....as long as they DO IT....and by IT, every self-respecting football fan knows what I mean....
How can you not love the deal? It takes QB's at least 3 years to get used to the speed of the NFL... let alone a playbook. Frye will be the #3 this year and when that "April" comes around that Goose spoke of next Spring, he'll be elevated to the #2 and we won't have to worry about Seneca getting squished like an Umpa-Lumpa underneath the pile.
