    Ahhh ... that really ticked me off that they released him (multiple times this season), he should have been given some opportunities to crack this rinky-dink WR corp.

    Now, let's line-up the following (listed by depth order)

    QB - Dorsey/Gradkowski

    RB - Wright/Harrison/Lewis

    WR - Braylon/Sanders/Stallworth/Steptoe

    TE - Rucker/Heiden

    FB - Vickers/Ali

    Everyone (except maybe Braylon) is hungry to play. They might not be World beaters, but they will give it their all.

    Man, this season is long.

  • funny how last year flew by and this year seems to be taking forever to be over.

    Gradkowski signed; Anderson to IR

    The Browns needed just one day to find a veteran quarterback and add him to the roster.

    The team signed Bruce Gradkowski Tuesday. A record-smashing quarterback at the University of Toledo, Gradkowski played his first two NFL seasons with Tampa Bay and went to training camp this year with St. Louis.

    He started 11 games for the Bucs in his rookie season in 2006, throwing for 1,661 yards and 9 touchdowns. He made four appearances last season before being waived this June.

    A native of Pittsburgh, Gradkowski threw for over 9,000 yards at Toledo and left as the NCAA's all-time leader in career completion percentage (68.2). He was a sixth-round pick of Tampa Bay in 2006.

    The Browns placed Derek Anderson on injured-reserve Tuesday and also made a practice squad move, re-signing Steve Sanders and releasing offensive lineman Travis Leffew.

    Sanders began the year on the active roster and played in five games with one reception for 18 yards.Leffew spent the last ten weeks on the Browns practice squad.

  • Yippee!

    Better than getting Cribbs killed back there I guess...

  • Imagine if Dorsey also gets injured and Gradkowski wins the remaining matches !

  • He actually wasn't hald bad in Tampa and I'd prefer him as a long-term backup over Dorsey. Maybe Dorsey will replace Rip as QB coach.

  • I like it! bringing in some old guys!

    You quote "franchise quarterbacks rock," yet you want Gradkowski QBing this team? Don't you find those two thoughts diametrically opposing???

  • Well, I am not endorsing him as a franchise QB..........but Brady has been a billion dollar choker his whole career............I wuz thinking to use a 3/4 pick on him a few years ago

    I made three pleas to this dysfunctional ill managed team since 2004 ...........get Ben...............or get Rivers..............

    and then get Rivers or Brees

    we blew it on all fronts

    but thanks for interest in getting a franchise QB..............instead of a choker who cost a one and two pick

    your cool mz the pussy keep up the good work it is fun reading from who actually thinks before knowing the answers

  • Toledo kid, right?

    WRONG ATENEARS - he is a Pittsburgh kid. You know, that piece of shit city that has never produced jack shit when it comes to quarterbacks in the NFL or headcoaches for that matter.

    It was a good signing by Savage - he is an upgrade over Ken I have a weaker arm than Bernie Kosar Dorsey.

    I meant University of Toldeo, you know one of those higher education Ohio institutes that poor pittsburgh kids go to be taught how to play the game?

  • I researched Gradkowski back when Rich was pimping him, and I think I was impressed with him in the (Motor City?) Bowl. Then I watched him early on at Tampa. I like this pick-up, it won't be anything that helps us turn the corner, but he's a solid back-up.

    And compliments Brady Quinn well. They are of similar style.
