The other day I was skimming some football blogs, something I hadn't done since the Super Bowl. I see, as expected, that the Browns let go QB Derek Anderson. Then, I'm somewhat surprised to see they also traded away QB Brady Quinn.
Later on, I see a headline about 35-year-old Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme, and I think to myself What a loser--Panthers' must have dropped his sorry ass. Clicking on the post, I learned I was correct. I also learned he was promptly picked up by the Browns, who intend to start Delhomme and pay him Seven Million Dollars.
Seriously--Worst. Quarterback. In. The. League. (okay, the Raiders' Jemarcus Russell was pretty bad last year too, but still!).

It's too late for the Browns to tank for the incredible Mr. Suh ... so who are they looking to finish last in the league this year for? :-P
ReplyDeleteFrom interviews, new GM Mike Holmgren says Delhomme will give the Browns "confidence" and a "winning attitude." I'm doubtful, but even if he does, I'll be amazed if Delhomme can get the Browns to better than .500 and he'll be retiring in a year or two anyway, which could put the team in exactly the position they were in recently. The Browns have also stated they're not planning on drafting a QB in the first round, but maybe one in the second . . . I couldn't understand skimping a bit at QB if they were trying to set up a run-heavy, power offense or something, but they're going to be using a West Coast offense which requires a lot of short, accurate passes. Blah!
