Cleveland Browns Mini-Camp Recap (Day 3) - Next Up, Training Camp

Look, Delhomme was let go because of his play in Carolina.

See also: Warner, Kurt; Collins, Kerry; etc… Just because a player is released doesn’t necessarily mean they’re done.

To be under the delusion Delhomme will do anything more than be average at best is a FAN with rose colored glasses on.

Average at best would be a marked improvement over any QB we’ve had since expansion.

AND it is just my opinion.

What’s that they say about opinions and assholes…?

I WANT THE BROWNS TO WIN AS MUCH AS ANYONE.

DRRRRRRRRR.

They had to get out from under Brady Quinn.

Enough with the gay jokes already.

Quinn dropped in the draft because he could not get the ball deep to the receivers. The Browns drafted Quinn out of need even though he was not going to be a great quarterback, but they took a shot.

What does this have to do with Delhomme? Phil Savage was an awful GM. We know this. Move on.

Delhomme was brought in and so was Seneca Wallace but in my opinion the Browns are not much better in the quarterback position at the begininng of this year.

Delhomme + Wallace + McCoy >>>>> Anderson + Quinn + Ratliffe

We now have a veteran, an experienced backup, and a potential quarterback of the future on the roster. How is that not better than what we had last year?

THIS IS WHY THE BROWNS OFFERED a TON for Bradford.

Link?

I actually hope you are right and I am wrong and Delhomme is great. Honestly I do

Did anyone say he was going to be great?

Delhomme is a boob.

I like boobs.

You will clamour for his benching, then pretend you didn’t like him the whole time.

Holmgren said he offered at the out most limit of what he could but the Rams were set on drafting Bradford. He called the Rams 20 minutes before the draft. (NFL.COM check it out)

Link?

DOES that sound like a resounding vote of confidence for Jake?

Shitcan the strawmen, bub. For the record, here’s what Holmgren has had to say about Delhomme and the status of the quarterbacks:

“The consensus was we desperately needed a leader,” said Holmgren. “After talking to Jake, I knew that he was the guy who could change the attitude in the building.”

“We talked about what happened last season, and it was an awful year for him. But I believe it’s an aberration. He never came close to being that bad in any other season.”

Holmgren compares Wallace to a relief pitcher. “He can get ready to go in quick. He doesn’t need a lot of reps in practice. He’s a tough guy, an accurate passer, much better than people think. He can beat you running the ball.”

Holmgren said the final decision to trade Quinn, cut Anderson and to start Delhomme “is all on me.” He said both Delhomme and Wallace “are quarterbacks who can help you win the game, if you need it. You don’t just hope they don’t make a mistake. They can make some plays.”

Link.

There’s not a single person here who has said anything that goes above and beyond what Holmgren says here. No unbridled optimism to be found. I don’t even know who it is you’re arguing with.

I stick to my rational opinion Delhomme is a waste and will prove to be a over the hill quarterback.

And I’ll stick to my rational opinion that you’re a moron.

If you think McCoy who is closer to 5’11" then 6’1" is going to be a quality quarteback you are fooling yourself.

Who said McCoy is going to be a quality quarterback? No one. He has potential. That’s all that’s been said about McCoy. Keep knockin’ down those strawmen, goober.

Can you say Ty Detmer?

Ty Detmer.

Oh wait we can start Seneca Wallace (who is 5’11") and in the league for his 8th year and has average 80 pass attempts a year, and I am sure he will shine.

Did you just call Seneca Wallace a shine? Jesus Christ. I guess it’s true that stupid and racist go hand in hand.

Who is next Gary Coleman? Oh wait he is dead.

I’ll bet you ten bucks that his rotting corpse could beat you at Boggle.
