Jake Delhomme to Practice Thursday and Friday
No word yet on if Jake Delhomme would be doing full practices, or just basic workouts. He won't practice Wednesday but should be out there Thursday and Friday, according to Mangini.

Now we take the chance of pulling Wallace who could possibly be building a chemistry with the offense.

That’s a question by the way

I think the only person Seneca has chemistry with is Cribbs, and while that is certainly nice, Delhomme does have pretty good chemistry with Momass and Robi, so I’m calling it even.

Seneca also got a lot more production out of Watson, although Jake and Moore seemed to have a good connection.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
Delhomme still has solid chemistry with watson from what I saw during the preseason and the first game. he is able to find watson when needed, whereas he doesn’t use watson as a crutch because of his familiarity (which seneca might do).

Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
your whole argument is a fallacy!
Think I’d take my chances going back to Delhomme but I think that it is very telling that it is a matter of debate between the 8-year backup and our originally named starter—or to put it another way: the Browns still do not have a starting caliber QB.
Brownsyup
well said. I honestly don’t know which one I would take at this point. they both have their strengths and weaknesses and they kind of even each other’s out.

is anyone in the organization debating this, or just the fans?
Ah, never a laser rocket arm when you need one. Still, if the team could lay off the penalties then either of those two could get us to a win.

it’s just one man’s opinion, but don banks on cnnsi says to stay w/ seneca even after jake is officially healthy.
i think i agree.

In his one half of healthy football Delhomme looked way better than wallace has since. He also has a much longer resume to fall back on than Seneca.

I don’t Delhomme looked any better than Delhomme. He was a good safety away from tossing two INT’s in the first half.
Wallace made a horrible throw against KC, but he has protected the ball.

we can break Delhomme back in with a nonconference game vs Atlanta next week.

Not that it makes a huge difference, but maybe he feels Delhomme’s experience against a team he used to face twice a year would help. It didn’t against Tampa.

No Im just saying that if we’re going to switch back to Jake when he’s healthy, I’d rather let Wallace continue the chemistry he has in a division game. I’d rather break Jake back in and break Seneca’s momentum in a game that is less likely to have playoff ramifications.
Yes, I’m still hoping we can split with Pitt and Baltimore and sweep the Bungles.

I’m not willing to write off Delhomme just yet. He looked good prior to the injury. If he’s ready, I say we play him.

I agree, would rather play Delhomme. Have more faith in him completing long passes. Also fear the pick 6 a bit more with him though.
Both of them have had a pick 6 right?

I don’t know. I didn’t see Delhomme’s, but all indications were that it was a terrible decision. I did see Wallace’s, and his seems pretty feaking awful too.

So there is a good-looking pick 6? The funny thing is we are able to even compare them in this category. I mean that is a really amazing kind of question: “which QBs pick 6 looked worse?” Doesn’t leave me brimming with confidence for either one. Still, after only 3 games I can see how it might be difficult to choose between them. I slightly favor Delhomme at this point.
Brownsyup
I’m not saying one looked different, just that the circumstances were different. Delhomme was given the starting job out of training camp, and it’s not like Wallace has been spectacular. He’s been serviceable. We shouldn’t be happy just because someone is slightly better than DA/BQ, seeing as they were the worst QBs in the league last year.
I’m with you,Wallace is not the answer, going forward. He runs around fine but he can’t complete a pass down the field(he did hit Cribbs with one)but that’s not good enough.
I say when Jake is ready let him play.We can still salvage the season(sort of)and get a few wins under our belt,get the Texas kid Colt ready to go as fast as we can,and get rid of Wallace

I don’t like the National teams. When I was a kid, I remember my dad screaming "C’mon! AFC needs a win baby!" a few seconds before Norwood missed that field goal in the Super Bowl. That moment left an imprint in my mind. To this day I can’t stand the NFC or the National League. They both have a certain feel that I don’t like.

I don’t like the American League and the bastardized form of the game they play. I wish I could root for the Tribe, but they’ll have to ditch the DH first. The games are too boring to stomache.

Too boring? I think watching the pitcher hit is boring. I’d much rather see a guy at the plate who actually can hit instead of an automatic out.

Agreed. And watching somebody get an intentional walk so the pitcher can throw out his counterpart is even more boring.

I actually had a chance to ask former Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone a question about this. He had worked a season or so in Baltimore, so I asked him was it easier or harder in the American League, pitching coach wise.
He said that most people think that making the decision to remove a pitcher is harder in the NL (lead, is he coming up in the order, etc.), but coaches are so good at using their benches and making double switches that he thought it was harder in the AL. You had to make the call on the pitcher alone. You don’t have the built in spot where you can remove a pitcher.
I always felt the same way, it was nice to have someone smart agree.

Just curious, have we basically given up hope for Colt? Is he still supposed to be groomed to be our franchise QB? I just don’t know why we all think we’re going to draft a QB with that 1st round pick instead of a great WR and surround our QB with weapons.
When you have the oppurtunity to draft a franchise QB, you do it. Regardless of past plans.

I’m not sure how many people actually thought McCoy was going to be our franchise QB in the first place. There’s a reason he was picked in the 3rd round, and franchise QB’s are rarely found that late in the draft. It would be really nice if he developed in to one but I don’t think we can count on it.

by Buckeye Brad on Oct 1, 2010 10:53 AM EDT up reply actions
I think a lot of us we’re just feeling excited about potentially having “that guy” waiting in the wings. But now reality has set in, and while McCoy certainly has a chance to pan out, if you don’t already have a franchise QB and you get the chance to take one, you do it.

I’m just saying, don’t be surprised when Holmgren doesn’t draft a QB #1 next year. It’s apparently against his nature to begin with and I think we’re going to give Colt a shot.
I really don’t think we’re going to let Colt stand in the way of acquiring a franchise QB if we think one is available, but at the same time I’m not certain we’re going to pick a QB #1 next year either. Many things will happen between now and then which can change our draft needs and opinions. But I don’t see the FO putting off getting a pontential franchise QB another 2 years just to give McCoy a shot, because if he doesn’t work out then we’re setting our team back another few years. If we have a chance to get one then we’re not going to stop because we have McCoy.

After reading this, it doesn’t look like Delhomme is going to start Sunday.
Dang. I was kind of hoping for a return to Delhomme… I think his on-the-field leadership is superior. Wallace just looks distant and aloof most of the time.
On another note… I did not like the sound of this from Harrison and Mangini from the article:
On Wednesday, running back Jerome Harrison expressed frustration about not knowing his role. Mangini responded, “His role is to go in and to carry the ball when he’s asked to carry the ball and do it effectively, and protect the football. I haven’t talked to him about that. I’d be happy to talk to any player about their role at any point and I’m here every day.”
I think Harrison is largely a “poseur” as far as being a #1 running back. This sounds like the beginning of a genuine discontented player/coach relationship. If it keeps going like this, I can’t see how Harrison ends up staying with the team at the end of this year or playing the majority downs in the future. That is, unless some of the other backs go down with injuries.
Brownsyup
He’s a 9 year vet, I’m pretty sure. He has no where else to go. He’ll listen and like it.

I’m not sure if you were exaggerating on purpose, but Harrison has only been in the NFL 5 years. He was drafted in ’06.

while 5 years is way less than 9, it’s still over half the average career for a running back.

I think the “Harrison expressed frustration” bit was actually an interpretation of his response to his saying “I don’t know …” when asked what his role is. It seemed to me that the interviewer (don’t recall who it was) was trying to get Harrison to say something that would make a juicy headline. I think people are trying to force life into a story that doesn’t really exist. At least that is my impression.
This is highly possible.
