The Dog Pound might need a rabies shot…
Is the next move to dump Brady Quinn? Even better (pardon me while I massage my temples to ward off the impending headache I’m getting from reading even the mere thought of this)…
Jake Delhomme is talking to the Cleveland Browns. I’m getting a little nauseous thinking about it. Seriously?
Let’s look at a timeline:
Draft Day 2007: Brady Quinn sits with his cute girlfriend in the green room and doesn’t get drafted in the top 10 like we thought.
Shortly thereafter: The Browns feel bad for him and move up to take him.
The next season: The Browns use Derek Anderson instead of Quinn and Anderson performs.
Shortly thereafter: The Browns give Anderson too much money.
The next season: Anderson starts to suck and Quinn plays a little.
This past season: They both play and Eric Mangini has no idea what to do.
Now: They cut Anderson and they’re about to move a draft pick who MIGHT be able to play for a guy–Jake Delhomme–who single handedly screwed the Panthers more than once.
I don’t get it.
If the Browns bring Delhomme in and he performs well I’ll be shocked. There’s not way in the world he could possibly do something of substance when he played so badly for the Panthers last season, he wasn’t ever THAT good to begin with, and now he’s going to a WORSE team.
Delhomme would probably spend most of the season on his backside because the Browns are so inept offensively. The best-looking thing he’ll ever do is throw or mass to the Joshua Cribbs/Jerome Harrison running/returning/everything monster.
Can anybody say desperate? I was prepared to say that they should draft somebody and let the chips fall where they may. Trade up and get McCoy or Bradford or Clausen. Not this. Not now. It’s only going to make it worse!
