what do the Browns have to do to NOT have a QB controversy??

Here we go, another season, another QB controversy.  Problem is, don't you have to have QB's to have a controversy?  Well, let us see if we, or rather the Browns do have one.

Did anyone out there REALLY think Jake Delhomme was the answer?  And for that matter, Senaca Wallace also?  Colt McCoy as a 3rd round pick is added into the mix also.  So, tell me, who is behind center #1, center #2, or center #3?  #1-Jake, give his due, looked good in preseason, and the first game.  Sure he had some questionable decisions, but at least the Browns were in the game, unlike many games last year.  Then he got hurt and was gone for the duration until Sunday's 2nd half.  I do sleep at time at a Holiday Inn and therefore, to my make-believe doctor's eye, he is still hurt and should not have been in.  But what else was available. But he was in for #2-Seneca.


Senaca did show that given some time to work with the 1's, he could move the team and did get a win.  Also, the team played hard and again was in the games until the final quarter.  Then HE got hurt on Sunday and back in comes Jake.  Was the game winnable?  With the way the D was performing, any kind of offense, yes ANY kind of offense could have given the team W#2.


This now brings us to #3-Colt.  When he was drafted, the Browns Brass stated he would not play this year, and would sit; practice and learn.  In other words, he was drafted, then "red-shirted"! Do the Browns waste his red-shirt year and let him play?  Do they stick to their pre-season guns and keep him on the sidelines?  Should the Browns get another QB? (at the time of the posting, Brett Ratliffe is apparently on his way to C'Town).  Not to mention the opponent next week!


So what do we, er Browns do?  Here is one fan's opinion.  Stick to the guns.  Keep Colt firmly planted on the bench.  Use Ratliffe; more Josh in the flash, and if needed put Jake on DL and get another QB after Pittspuke game.  Bye week gives needed time.  Face it, this was going to be a rebuilding year, NO MATTER WHAT!  The defense was front and center and it has been playing well better than last year.  Couple of broken plays and who knows what could have been.


Next year, go offense in draft.  Get the wideouts solely missing, sorry guys, but neither one of you are a threat to a team's D.  If Harrison is not used now, then when?  So hope Hadestry returns, but maybe another RB is needed.  And the final point, which now brings us full circle, what should be done at QB?  See, I told you what not to do to have a QB controversy, but it cannot be avoided.  


Starting QB #16 since '99 and counting!!
