Delhomme signs with the Browns

I wondered the same thing. The one thing he does do is eliminate the Quinn vs. DA nonsense and any lockerroom allegiances that may have caused a distraction.

My guess is we'll know the answers to these questions soon enought. Gotta think that there is a plan in place that will play out. Glad we gave up nothing in picks or players, we need all that we have. Any similarities between this signing and another F.A we got years ago. He could also be an interception machine, although ealier in his career not so much later. Dare I mention Vinny T.

as with most people, I do have some mixed feelings on Jake coming here. Over the past two years he has looked worse and worse by the game. But, it's amazing how a change of scenery can change a player back to his old form (does a now retired Cardinals QB ring any bells)

Now I understand Warner's situation is a lot different (dominant receiving corp), but at the same time almost everyone wrote this guy off. I think Jake will come here with a harder work ethic and understanding this will be his last hoorah.

The overall fact of the matter is I completely trust Holmgren when it comes to QB's. Some of you may think Delhomme is over the hill and losing it, and I do understand why. But Holmgren obviously thinks the man can still play, and we all should realize he's probably got it right.

At this point, I'd be shocked if we don't use our 2nd or early 3rd round pick on the QB holmgren thinks is best. Let Delhomme get him better for a year or two, then pass the torch.

Jake had a tough time with confidence at the Panthers and the Browns believe our fans will allow this guy the latitude to build his confidence here ? Get serious, 2 bad games and the fans will be calling for his head just like DA. Bottom line is, Quinn never got the chance to show what he had without the DA thing making him play 'careful'. However an NFL QB, especially one that has had 3 seasons to get ready, should be able to handle that type of pressure AND perform. BQ likley has proven to management that he can't step up, so he's likely gone. Hope he doesn't turn out to be another one that was dropped to become a star elsewhere.

If Delhomme is brought in to mentor Quinn, great, a guy with confidence problomes coming in to mentor a guy with confidence problems ??? The oxy moron of QB situations. Starting to have concerns about Holmgren's decision making. This guy has yet to prove he's a Parcells.

Social football fans liked Delhomme, serious football fans could'nt stand him at Carolina. He shows work ethic and fortitude, but so did DA at times and look how that worked out.

This is a rough move at best. I really hope Seneca can become a great player.

Hey how about Jake mentors Tebow at Cleveland for the next year or two !!!! Tebow has work ethic, he just needs toning of skills.

As much as i like the thought of Quinn being our franchise Qb it is time for the organization and the fans to realize he doesn't have that ability. I was happy when we traded up for him and it was a great story but sometimes you just have to admit your first round mistakes and move on. Delhomme by all means isn't the answer as a franchise Qb but he is a serviceable one until our franchise(savior) QB is found.

well said. Delhomme took a team to the Super Bowl. He knows what it takes to be a consistent winner. He may never regain his previous form but at least if he's in the game, I don't have to wonder if he knows how to read the coverage or whether he can throw the deep out.

How can anyone be excited that we got Jake D?? I think Quinn has been terrible but at least he is young and cute.. That has to account for something??

My biggest problem with the Brownies is our WR's. We have such a young core. We need to bring in a veteren if not to at least teach these players how to prepare.

I mean C Stucky? Really?? A 7th round putz is going to get playing time.. Really?? Really??

We brought in some veteren players and now it is time to add a prima donna WR. Big game Tory Holt, sure he is washed up but DEF has more left in the tank than Jaky poo. Also he is a good professional and would be great mentoring our WR. Damn Andre Rison would help us out.

Uhmm no I am very much a male and I hate the freakin Steelers.. I am not gay either but Quinn is much prettier than Jake..

Now if you were talking Jake Ryan from sixteen candles it would be much different story..

We should boycott the Browns unless they make a major move for a WR!!!

I'll side with you on this one- just because guys wanted Quinn to succeed and like the guy doesn't mean they're gay. You want to talk gay, that would be Lumbergh's unrequited love for DA.

And it's not going to matter for much longer anyway- Holmgren isn't bringing in JD, and payining him $7 million to ride the pine- he brought him here to start- so IMHO Quinn's days in Cleveland are numbered. He'll be gone on draft day, or sooner- for whatever Holmgren can get for him.

Dawg, I feel your pain, and everytime this comes up I offer this suggestion. I have a Tim Couch jersey hanging in the basement, and I promised myself I wasn't going to get burned that way again. So get yourself a custom jersey #46 (very few people know it's retired) & it's also the year the Browns were founded (pretty cool) and stick YOUR NAME on the back. It will never go out of style.

PS, even though he's the greatest Cleveland athlete by a country mile since Jim Brown, I'm not bujying a LeBron #23 until he wins a Championship and re-ups with the Cavs.

Isn't Lebron changing his number to #6 anyway?
