I cant slam Couch,
It really wouldnt have mattered who the QB was when we first returned he took a beating.

He wasnt the best QB in the world but it was an intersting read,and he makes a good argument.

Ok I guess you convinced me.

I am so tired of the you cant think you are going to lose your job statement.

We all here this at work every day. If the car salesman which is probably what he is doing doesnt sell cars he gets fired. If you played well enough then you would have a job.

Now there is some importance to have confidence from your coaching staff and whatnot but geez if you can't handle the pressure as a starting QB in the National Football League then you probably have the wrong job. YOU HAVE TO HANDLE PRESSURE OR YOUR NOT A GOOD QB.

BTW he does have a hottt wife though. Kudos to ya Tim

Good read. Makes me think less of Mangini than I already did.

A decent coach should recognize what Couch points out about screwing with the QB's head.

Couch played all the cards to end up being the 'First overall taken' ... at that time, it was all he cared about and he got what he wanted. I could give a ratsass what happened to him thereafter. if he was so worried about being in the right situation, he should have stayed in school another year and worked with someone on operating a pro style offense, not jumped out after his Junior year to be the face of a storied franchise that had no components.

He went for the cake and he got baked ... err, we got baked, he still ended up with the cake.

Screw him ... I feel nothing for him, he hoodwinked this organization as much as they hoodwinked him.

Freanking bumbling idiots ... everyone involved.

I hope he wraps his car around Carmen Policy standing at a bus stop.

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS

i was a kid about 9-10 years old when Couch threw the Hail mary to quincy morgan in jacksonville.. i was at that game! it basically got the browns into the playoffs, which the were up big...but let the steelers come back..does anybody have the link to that hail mary?

Gips

I feel for any qb this team drafts or has drafted they have no chance in the gutter of of the nfl...soon serious talent wont even consider coming to cleveland without insane upfront pay..

Damn that Couch.

His plan the entire time was to suck balls out of the gate and get irreparably hurt, sacrificing his career earnings and health just to screw us over.

Couch does have a point. However, this offense isn't nearly as bad as what he had to work with. Jim Pyne, Terry Kirby? Really?

But dropped passes (Royal, Cribbs and Furrey), false starts, holding penalties, poor route running (Cribbs and Royal), terrible blocking (St. Clair especially), poor passes (both QB's), and bad play calling are all what make this offense terrible.

Can someone explain to me why listening to what Tim Couch has to say about our QB situation pisses me off?

If we won two games a year and they were both against the Stoolers, I would be a happy guy.

No you wouldn't.

They have not been mishandled, they simply aren't in any long term plans, there value was low so they can't be traded without a piddling return. Quinn was the bigger question mark, maybe, hopefully something emerged, but he was amazing far off lost in his ego fantasy.

Going to be nasty to deal Quinn for a couple 5 rounders this spring and just release Anderson. But the long saga is nearing a end.

Good to see you mz the pussy, but yes I would. I hate the Stoolers that bad. My old man slaved in a steel mill for thirty years and tried to screw him out of his pension because he got hurt on the job, YES I hate anything that represents the steel industry.

I share your hatred, but 2-14 is still 2-14.

Thank you.

Wouldn't miss this season for anything.

i would have been happy with 6 wins, 2 from the steelers 2 raven and 2 bengals

Holy God, Ate, you've posted more nonsense in the past week than in your prior lifetime.
Tim Couch is greedy because he got drafted and singed a contract? Uhhhhhhh... WHAT??

Sure, you can feel sorry for Couch, just like Archie Manning. Absolutely the worst situation imaginable... and then the arm problems. He kept trying to come back, playing for popcorn with a busted shoulder, in case you don't already feel like a douche.

Playing for popcorn? The guy made $65+ mil in his shitty career and walked away with a playboy bunny, but we are supposed to feel sorry for him for being the poster child of this fucked up rebirth?

The kid had no such game what-so-ever ... unless 5 receiver sets, throwing out of the shotgun with no backs was actually going to catch fire in the NFL. His RB had more receptions than David Boston that year. He NEVER fooled me, he never came close to running a pro style offense. He never had to look beyond the linebackers and it showed. He never beat a ranked opponent in college but was gonna carry our team in the Pro's? He got lucky as shit that Carmen Policy needed a pretty white boy for his corporate suits. Tim Couch used this franchise as a two-bit whore, he came out for the money, and was no where near being ready for such a task.

He got what he wanted ... the Browns didn't and have been paying the price ever since.

fuck Tim Couch.

fuk tim couch GO DA?????????
WTF is wrong with this picture,you and Z have really taken a leave of your senses may as well throw in your girlfriend lums for good measure.

In 32 more starts, Couch has only won 9 more games than DA, has only threw 19 more TD's than DA has to-date, yet Couch has thrown 29 more INT's.

Plus Couch cried.

Plus Couch cried.

He was also sacked 50+ times twice, 30+ times in another season, had Kevin Johnson and Quincy Morgan as his #1 receiver, had Dennis Dropcutt, had no TE's, had no RB's, and some of the worst play calling I've ever seen in my life. Not to mention, he had Bottlegate.

But I'm still a believer that Couch could have been solid with some help. Shoot, Holcomb could have been solid with help.

I mean, Jeff Garcia was a star in San Fran. Came to Cleveland and sucked, and then started for other teams and played well.

We're cursed.

Thats simple because its been the same story of the Browns since we have come back. We have been doing everything wrong we could have for the last ten years. Not taking the Ricky Williams trade and drafting a QB with our first overall pick on an expansion team. No quarterback could of suceeded in that situation. Six or seven years of consecutive first round busts. Never getting our talent level up then drafting a QB. And now here we are yanking a QB after 2 1/2 games because it must be the QB's fault. Not the lack of talent at the O-lline, the running game and oh ya only one legitimate threat at the wr posistion. So what happens next year? We start all over again and draft that QB (dooming whoever it is to failure) because that is what this team really lacks. LMFAO. We need play makers, we need leaders, we need talent.

So getting back to the point this story pisses you off because you realize we are in the exact same posistion we were ten years ago with ZERO propress.
