Seneca Wallace
-
Don't be surprised if Seneca Wallace is the Browns starting Q.B. for week 1. He has a lot of potential that is waiting to burst loose. Delhomme seems to be in a steep decline (though probably a halfway decent insurance policy for the Browns for the time being). McKoy won't be ready to start right away. You may be pleasantly surprised by Seneca. Hopefully the Browns with let him run & scramble more than the Seahawks did though.
-
I'd like to see Seneca get a fair shot at the position. What i've seen of him, i've liked more than BQ or Derek, so it is an automatic upgrade to that level. Seneca is a nice bit of insurance to have if Delhomme has lost it. (which could very well be the case)
-
seems like three insurance policies in case Ratliffe isn't the second coming of Zeus Mangi thinks he is.
-
I dont know what Mangini sees in Ratliff. It is obvious that Holmgrem doesnt see anything in Ratliff or he wouldnt of pulled rank and got Colt Mccoy. I see Ratliff at this point as nothing more than a camp arm but we will see.
-
Do you think Ratliff has ANY hope of making the final roster? The only way i see him making this team is if one of the guys ahead of him ruptures a spleen Chris Simms style. Otherwise, he's fishfood.
In order to appreciate the top you have to spend some time at the bottom. -
If Seneca Wallace is the starter then I will be pissed at the Delhome Signing. For the amount of money we signed him for, he better be good.
-
it's uncapped and Lerner's money, i just want the best guy to start. having Jake as competition makes Seneca better so no matter how it spends it's worthwhile imo.
this could be said of Ratliffe every year of his pro career so far:

yet...he's still here.the Rat endures...

Isn't it really important to Holmgren that there not be a quarterback controversy. As much as I'd love to see Wallace play, I'm thinking it will happen only if Delhomme throws a ton of INTs or gets hurt.
-
if Daboll falls to sleep at night sucking his thumb and clutching the Gil Haskell Manual, WCO for dummies in Berea you could very well see Seneca leading the charge and carrying through into the season.

Why? It's an uncapped year, and it's not your money, so what's the big deal? I want them to play the QB that gives us the best shot to win, and if that means JD is the highest paid back up in history, then so be it.

I love a good reality post.
They always need a fresh kicking/punting leg and another arm for reps in training camp, guys make a couple of hundred thou in those rolls.

In all fairness, the Ratliff we saw last preseason was nowhere near the Ratliff from the year before in NY. My brother is a Jets' season ticket holder and I saw a couple of preseason games. This guy really led the offense better than anybody (Favre had just showed up) and all the buzz was how Ratliff was going to unseat Clemens for the #2 QB job.

you can't judge really any of our QBs based on last season alone. the rest of our supporting offense was so bad not even peyton manning would look good, thats my opinion on Ratliff. as to seneca wallace, he wasn't been able to take hold and grasp a starting spot yet in his 7? year long career, odds of him doing it here arn't too great against delhomme. theres a reason he was delegated to a role player, playing any position that needs a hand. jack of all trades, master of none, imo

Yeah but Hasselback is a hell of a QB. Seneca's numbers have been consistantly above average. Delhomme has been known to roller coaster a lil bit.
-
I really don't believe Delhomme was promised he'd start but obviously, with what he was paid, there is some leanings towards us wanting that to happen. IF Seneca comes into camp and looks sharper, i'm pretty certain you'll find Delhomme taking a back seat. Mangini doesn't have loyalty to any of these guys and it rests on his shoulders to pick the guy who helps is win games best. Based on recent play, it very well could be Wallace.

I will be watching and rooting fro the Browns even more this season and Holmgren. I always want you guys to beat the Stealers that's why that prime time game last season was so awesome. Whether Seneca is the starter or not, we'll see. Hopefully with Ben Rapeingburger sitting out a number of games that will help give the Browns the edge to take the division. Here's hoping for a season sweep of the Stealers!
Fyi too many Seahawks fans never gave Seneca Wallace a chance, and didn't like him because he isn't 6'+. Well, Drew Brees isn't all that tall either, lol! My view has always been right along, "don't sleep on Seneca Wallace!" If Delhomme isn't the starter then I am really going to be watching Seneca at the helm of the Browns as much as I can.

Both qb's can play, Jake had a terrible year in 09. My guess is, Jake might come on strong, taking care of the ball, and be the starter.
Else, if he just doen't have it anymore, Seneca steps in.

Senaca will not be starting, the only way he plays is if Delhomme does bad(which there's a chance of).
And Ratliff will definitely be on the final roster, Mangini kept him over Bartel who outperformed him by far, in fact, the only thing Bartel was doing bad was not getting rid of the ball soon enough, which would lead to a sack. That could easily be coached, but Mangini kept Ratliff over Bartel for personal reasons.
