Yeah, but you're assuming that was him and not Phil Savage making that move. And it's also worth noting that they passed on him with their first pick.
Here's a taste of how Romeo handled the QB situation in Cleveland. Quinn was drafted in 2007. Derek Anderson had a terrific year, so without question, he was the undisputed starter. In 2008, Anderson had a concussion in the preseason and played terribly. Halfway through the season, Romeo made the switch to Quinn. Quinn started a few games, played well, and then missed the rest of the season to injury. Anderson goes back in and plays terribly. The next season, Romeo announces Quinn is the starter. After 2 games, he hooks Quinn. He then for some reason decides to stick with Anderson for something like 10 games even though he was playing miserably bad. After finally responding to mass criticism, Romeo does the right thing and makes the QB switch.
So if history is any indication... Romeo's handling of the QB situation was downright atrocious. And he gave up on Quinn after only 2 games.
