Browns coach Eric Mangini said QB Jake Delhomme is back at 100 percent. If McCoy can't play vs. Panthers, Delhomme might face former team.

Never in my life have I ever wished for another mans ankle to be okay.
My sanity can’t take another Jake Delhomme sighting.
I am too. I don’t think he’s shown us any sign that, when healthy, he isn’t as good as Wallace.

I feel like when Delhomme is on the field he does more to hurt this team than help it.

I think when Delhomme was on the field and healthy (just under two quarters) he seemed to be doing okay. I’m not ready to rate him on his being put in the game injured. At this point I think I would rather see what he can do than watch Wallace overshoot receivers down the sideline all day. My biggest worry is that he might force throws in an effort to show his old team they made a mistake.
Delhomme isn’t a starting QB in the NFL anymore.

The guy throws interceptions. He’s like an older Derek Anderson.

When he starts throwing them when he is healthy, we will be in agreement. Right now his INTs have come from throwing off a bum kickstand – minus the first one which he got whilst getting his kickstand bent.

but history in sports often times is about what have you done for me lately. Jake Delhomme COULD bounce back from his terrible 1+ seasons, its hard to say its likely. If this was just one bad, fluke year when he was 25 it would be one thing, but this season was when he was an aging QB.

Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
your whole argument is a fallacy!
I don’t buy that one bad year at an older age would cause him to unlearn everything that made him good when he was younger. If you want to claim a persistent injury, that at least would have some science behind it, but I don’t think his injury in Carolina (shoulder? elbow?) is related to his ankle injury, so I don’t get where this age fixation is coming from.
I am effing hurdling you and you can't stop me.
unlearn is a bad word because he didn’t just unlearn it all. Its more that he lost something and may not have the skills to be a legit NFL starter anymore. look at how carson palmer has been since his most recent injury. he has clearly lost something and he is about 5 years younger than Delhomme. especially with QBs, injuries can be very tempermental

The man played one and a half quarters, without his ankle injury, he played very well, for that amount of time, he got hurt, and that was it, but he maned up, and finished the game. Give him credit for that. However, with that being said, I hope McCoy is OK.

Wasn’t Wallace playing light years better than Delhomme before he (Wallace) was injured?

Why they would not go back to Wallace and leave Delhomme on the bench in the ‘mentor’ role is a mystery to me.
Wallace’s play was excellent before he was injured. Passer rating of 88.5 over 4 games with 4 TDs and 2 INTs on 63% completion pct.
Granted Delhomme only played in two games but ended up with a 48.2 passer rating, 1 TD, 4 INTs and 55% completion pct??
I think they should play Wallace at this point to give him playing time as the Browns future backup QB going forward if for no other reason.

Delhomme...NOOOOOOO
I don’t pray often, but please dear God, let Colt be healthy enough to play this weekend and the remainder of the season. AMEN!
Wallace vs. Delhomme
Regarding “who’s better”, Wallace was playing (solid, very well, excellent – take your pick so we don’t quibble on semantics) under center before he was injured.
With Delhomme, what will happen next time he steps on the field is a bigger unknown at this point in my view.
Delhomme has been doing a great job as a mentor and seems to be content in that role.
Wallace is seriously itching for playing time.
Wallace likely has a future with the Browns as a solid backup.
Delhomme is nearing the end of his career as a QB.
I think if either is going to start Sunday I think it should be Wallace for all the above reasons.

I live in Charlotte. I do not enjoy Panthers football. I really, really need Cleveland to get this win because we never play Carolina and I need to establish long term bragging rights besides the obvious expansion team, belong to two states, nice uniforms, etc. banter. Which until 9 months or so ago also included the obligatory Jake Delhomme is a douche comment. Please get Colt healthy.
I fear that John Fox knows more about Jake Delhomme than his own mother and could fluster him with a stern look. Plus Jake has been throwing to white and teal for a long time and he is known for bad snap decisions and interceptions so I feel he is prone to throwing to the wrong team.

Why the negative reactions here? If McCoy is not close to 100%, sit him. Why put him in a position to get greater injury and miss more games? Having him sit and watch a smart QB like Jake could be good for his learning and development. It certainly benefits him more than missing substantial time the remainder of the season.
Besides, what’s the worst that can happen with a Jake start at QB? We lose? No biggie – it just gives us a better draft pick. Maybe Jake throws a horrible pass where a receiver gets his clocked cleaned. That would be bad, but let’s hope to avoid it.

It does but if we are being honest with ourselves we are trying to improve this year and develop our young players.
You play to win the game but Delhomme vs Wallace doesn’t have a whole lot of impact on our future. Do what is best for Colt.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
I agree.
I can’t believe everyone is discounting Del’homey so quickly. Who better to face a defense than a guy who practiced against them for so long. He knows their tendencies, he knows their schemes and he knows their play book.
How soon we forget it was Wallace’ bad decision that cost us the Chief’s only TD and the game.
There is a special place in hell for Steelers fans.
I don’t think anyone wants to start Colt again until he is 100% healthy.
Assuming Delhomme and/or Wallace are healthy, it would be a very bad idea to start McCoy before he is back to 100% with his ankle.

well then, just because they are worse in 2010 when Delhomme isn’t there does not mean that they would be better with him. I mean, there are tons of variables such as the terrible RB play, the total collapse of their Defense, the fact that Steve Smith seems to have lots a half a step…just for starters.
I think Delhomme has proven less of what he can do than Wallace. Delhomme needs to prove to me that he can overcome the terrible 2009. He hasn’t been a good QB for almost 2 years now.

I know it doesn’t necessarily mean that, but I personally (my opinion) believe they would be better with Jake Delhomme and not be the worst team in the league.
So Jake Delhomme is better than Brian St. Pierre and Jimmy Clausen — that’s not saying very much.
The Panthers won games last year because of their good running game. This year their two best RB’s have been injured and ineffective which is one of the biggest reasons for their poor performance. I don’t see any reason to think that having Delhomme there now would change that.

thats pretty irrelevant because they have the worst QB play in the league. Using this year’s panthers as any evidence of JD’s ability doesn’t make any sense really.

The Panthers are the worst team in the league right now without Delhomme. That was not the case ever when they had him.
So, it started with SB talking about how he MUST be a decent option at least because carolina sucks this year, then people point out the breakdown in carolina, and then RD points out that carolina was never this bad with him. and using this as a basis for JD over Wallace.
Nowhere did anyone say he is the worst in the league and however carolina would be with him IMO is completely irrelevant because their QB play’s ineptitude rivals DA/BQ…actually it might be worse, because DA/BQ combo didn’t have clausen’s fumbling problems that I can remember.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a standard rhetorical fallacy that everyone who has had any decent training in writing a persuasive essay or public speech should know. When one argues that something happened after an event and therefore was caused by the event, then one is committing that logical fallacy. I’ve not taken Latin, but the loose translation I’ve always been taught (and taught myself) is, “afterwards, therefore because of.”

Appears to be nothing much more than a few amateurs

Most likely when I first came across it, I thought it was a reputable site, and then I kept wondering why they were reporting stuff no one else was. Then the light came on.

""It’s different than the ones (Delhomme and Wallace) had, but it’s in that same category, yeah," Mangini said…
“Delhomme and Wallace’s injuries proved to be in the four-to-six week category. Mangini said he’s optimistic McCoy won’t be out that long, but the history of the team’s high ankle ailments ‘tempers’ his optimism.”

Mangini:
“It’s different than the ones (Delhomme and Wallace) had, but it’s in that same category”
…
“Delhomme and Wallace’s injuries proved to be in the four-to-six week category.
Mangini said he’s optimistic McCoy won’t be out that long”
Hard to decipher these statements.
