Seneca Wallace Released

  • Seneca Wallace declared last year that he did not want to be a backup QB. He got his wish. He is now an unemployed QB.

    Perhaps there is an opening in the UFL.

    Edit: I checked, there are. I see no listing for a QB for eh Virginia Destroyers. Marty Schottenheimer HC.

    Other QBs in that league: Brian Brohm, Chase Clement, Eric Crouch, Jeremiah Masoli, Troy Smith. Seneca could play there.

  • I think the Browns are sold on Thad Lewis as a keeper back-up.

    IMO this was more about Lewis bumping Wallace than McCoy, that isn't saying McCoy is better than Wallace.

    It's about Lewis having a bright upside long after Wallace and McCoy are out of the league.

    They won't say it at this point, still hoping for a trade, but Lewis is viewed as the back-up QB of the Browns.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Spot on IMHO. I think they see great potential in this young QB.

    Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS!

  • Lewis does fit nicely as a long-term backup. Last night notwithstanding, he's been a very strong preseason performer. Through three years, he's completed over 70% of his passes at 8.66 yards per attempt.

    He's a bit underappreciated by Browns fans because some of his best work came in a Rams uniform, but the Browns' decisionmakers have seen those solid performances, like this one last preseason:

    Ultimately, I think there's a good chance Lewis settles in as the Browns' #2 QB, either in '13 or '14.

  • Good bye Seneca. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. You never wanted to be a Brown. You got your wish.

    No no, Wallace can go play for the relaunched USFL Akron team next year. Maybe bring aboard Vince Young too!

    I think the talent level is supposed to be above that of the UFL, making it more of a minor league to the NFL. Also not sure how much longer the UFL will actually be around. From what I hear they only have 4 teams this season.

    They have only had like 4 teams their entire existance. I think there does need to be a stable "minor league" where older veterans can go play ....and younger players who haven't quite made it. The main purpose of which would be to give these guys a place to display their wares in a true game and try to make it (or make it back) to the NFL.

  • Seneca Wall-ass sucks..Im glad hes gone...hes nothing but a selfish hot dog on the field who thinks hes better than he really is...I always thought he was a POS QB who always made stupid bone head descisions on the field...and apparently the FO realizes that too...good riddance!!!.

    Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~

  • Could have a cushy backup job with Saints:

  • front runner huh? if he caught on and the Saints actually went all the way to the SB and won, i'd be genuinely happy for Seneca. what a dream that would be, right? 32 years old, get a ring...maybe even play a handful more years.

    get paid without taking hits? front row view w a thousand perks? incredibly ideal for a small-ish yet capable scrambler in his 30s.

    back-up qb aka spare tire = superb analogy

    always overlooked and taken for granted, not having a competent backup to a franchise qb is akin to getting a flat w no spare, AAA, or cellphone ala (Colts/Manning) whereas having one allows a team to finish the season Champions (Cowboys/Kosar).
