Browns sign new WildDawg QB
-
waste of roster space the wild dog/cat/bear/horse/platypuss (etc......) is no longer worth running in the NFL. miami was able to get a decent year with it because it took everyone by suprise.
making roster to run what is basically a gimick play is the wrong way to go...........especially when you don't have a HC.
but hey, it's the browns.......................what else would you expect?

Goodbye Seneca. Thankfully, Holmgren apparently shares Mangini's beliefs on locker room cancers.
i guess this is the only way that the signing of this guy makes sense.
sign a player but not have a HC is a head-scratcher.

Not really....the new coach isn't going to be signing players.
The wave of the NFL dictates you have a wild package, and this kid can run it.
Wallace is all but gone and the Josh Cribbs experiment needs to end in so far a being a QB.

Wallace isn't getting a starting gig anywhere... he played his whole career in the WCO that we'll likely install... and he was never a "locker room cancer" before. I kinda doubt he's one now. He said very little and it wasn't very provocative. He wanted to start. You want that from your quarterbacks. And anybody who DIDN'T think it was crazy to start Delhomme realizes it now.
Delhomme is not gonna be paid 7 mill next year by anybody including the Browns. I don't believe he's ever played in a WCO. He's 53 or at least looks like it on the field. Don't see why we'd bring him back just to be McCoy's babysitter.
Brown will probably compete with a fifth round pick to be the Browns developmental QB behind McCoy and a veteran who knows the WCO... perhaps Wallace.
Problem with Brown is he isn't very bright, has a learning disability. Tough to play NFL QB like that.

I disagree about Wallace on the starting gig front. He's certainly shown he's capable of being a starter. There are teams out there that need that, teams like Minnesota, Carolina, San Fran, Arizona, and now even Tennessee. It's not crazy to think that he couldn't be a starter somewhere. But it is on the unlikely side.
As for him being a cancer, maybe that is taking it a bit too far. Of course you want your players to feel the itch to start. Of course you want them to voice their displeasure if they feel they're better suited than who's currently in place. But I think, as a coach, you'd want them to voice this displeasure with you and your staff. Not the media. Not the rest of the team. That's how factions start, how divisions are formed. And a locker room that's divided doesn't win on Sundays. I'd like us to keep Seneca insted of Jake. Jake needs to be gone yesterday. He was God-awful and he's not getting better.
And as far as the learning disability goes, I think that's something that's been blown out of proportion. The guy ran a fast-paced no-huddle Spread Option offense in West Virginia under Rich Rod and Bill Stewart. RichRod's offense (which is actually Stewart's offense), requires the QB to be fed a number of plays on the field and for the QB to check audible to whichever one best fit whatever the defense showed them, a la Peyton Manning (Note: I am not comparing Brown to Manning). And in the Spread Option, the QB has to read pitch man and know gap responsibility, as well as reading the blitzes and coverages during the play. I think his mind is sharp enough. Is he a Rhodes scholar? Maybe not, but that doesn't mean he's slow.
So what if it takes him a little longer to learn the plays. At least he'll pick them up faster than Daboll.

Brad Smith is sure running it pretty well in New York.
But you wouldn't know about that, because you don't watch any other games except for the first half of Steeler games.

I personally don't view him as a cancer. I said he wanted to start ahead of a worse QB and didn't really speak out until Mangini was gone.

both from my hometown. but twitter is for kids. just like texting. why text when you can talk to the person. OMG!!!!!!!!
I thought so too. But it's a good way to get breaking news, actually. Since it's the new social network medium and theres an app for it available on any electronic device anymore, whenever someone hears something, it goes to Twitter instantly.

Could just be camp fodder, could be someone in the plans, as a WR/emergency QB type player/Special Teamer. Who knows this early in the offseason. If he proves himself he can make the squad, if others prove to be better options, we will go the other route.
-
Why are you debating who this guy will replace on your team? This guy is a 4th string QB for training camp. He was signed for peanuts. If the browns find someone better, he's as likely gone as any of the other QB on your roster.
-
Yeah hes not gonna be running and wilddawg here with Cribbs or someone else thats better, watched alot of WVU football and he was good alot and terrible alot as well, he will be holding a clipboard or cut..Way to big to be converted to a WR maybe a TE but theres alot of work into that....And did someone just say he has a learning disability well damn there goes that option

The Jets used it successfully to do 2 things: A. Beat the Steelers B. Beat the Colts in the playoffs.
The Browns last year with Josh Cribbs ran it and it helped beat the Steelers.
It can still be useful if it is run right.

Because we are Browns fans and we talk about anything that may have to do with the Browns, from the Owner/GM/HC to the 4th string QB.
The question of replacing Seneca Wallace on the team as the 2d/3d/4th string QB is legit since apparently Wallace is a Free Agent, plus he has groaned somewhat about his use/place with the Browns and we all figure he is gonzo.
So why not talk about who else might be here to take up those roster spots?

Forget Cribbs in that role.
The guy is used up.

Not so. The person who cared about cancers (even though I don't think Wallace is a cancer) was Mangini. He is gone. Plus Wallace said that he would love to sign again with the Browns since Mangini is gone.

May be used up but they still used him in the last game agasnt the steelers right? And the main point i was trying to make was that Jarrett is not suited to run the wilddawg he is to big maybe on shortyardage situations, im pretty sure he runs the 40 at around 4.7 and you dont want that as a WildDawg formation player see Cribbs (or past tense Cribbs) Brad Smith, Ronnie Brown Etc.

He ran a 4.53 in the combine. Not fast, but not slow. In comparison, Brad Smith ran a 4.47.

Maybe we should really sign a wild dog. a Dingo perhaps.

I love how our season is over, we're chatting about signings and stuff for next year (about the Cleveland Browns, on The Browns Board) but the trolls are still here and have to comment (negativly) on this thread. Way to go you no life losers!
