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.
