TheClevelandSound Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/...terback_ja.html CLEVELAND-- Former Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl quarterback Jake Delhomme will visit the Browns on Thursday, a league source told The Plain Dealer today. Delhomme, who was cut by the Panthers last week, went 58-40 for them as a starter in seven seasons, including taking them to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season. The Panthers lost on a last-second field goal to the Patriots. In Cleveland, Delhomme would most likely come in to challenge for the starting job. ESPN is reporting today that the Browns are shopping Brady Quinn, although a league source told The Plain Dealer that the Browns have not actively tried to trade anyone. Delhomme, 35, was released with $12.5 million in guaranteed money still owed to him to make room for starter Matt Moore. A fan and team favorite, Delhomme fell out of favor with the club this year when he threw a career-high 18 interceptions. Panthers coach John Fox got emotional in the press conference last week and said, "He's done some great things for this team. Two (NFC) championship games, a Super Bowl, all those comeback victories. I'm not sure I've had any more respect for an NFL football player than Jake Delhomme.'' Details to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erie Dawg Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Sounds like a pretty shitty Christmas if you ask me! And we get rid of one interception machine and bring in another? Let's face it he had better weapons in Carolina, someone think he's going to actually be a savior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjonez37 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 jake would be okay in the backup vetaran role for quinn or w/e qb the browns draft but you're better off with wallace as your starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playerjdd Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 As much as im not excited about Delhommes visit he still has some experience that could help. Delhomme reminds me too much of Anderson, strong arm and very inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClevelandSound Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I like him. Im sorry but that resume is impressive. I know he has had a bad year last year but i believe it was a fluke. 58-40 for them as a starter in seven seasons, including taking them to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season 2 NFC Championships. Remember, this is what everyone said about Favre when he "retired" from the Packers. Point and case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedawg Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Whoa whoa whoa, I think they are getting a little to0 excited in Berea. That dude IMPLODED last year and he actually had weapons in Carolina. QB Rating: 59.4 TDS: 8 INTS: 18 He better be interviewing for the veteran mentor backup role.

I don't think he's going to go for a 6-7th round pick money like Wallace. Jakes going to cost us some $$$$ and then to have him as a backup???? I don't see it happening.

Guest Metcalf_FTW Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 His contract was outrageous, something like $25 million, so nobody in their right mind would have traded for him -- they had to cut him. He's not good. I hate to say it, but living in Charlotte, I would rather see Quinn play for us than to have Delhomme join Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 i think this is due diligence... this just shows other teams that we're continuing a search, even if they wanna stall. i like how these guys create smoke..... BUT unless watson left, they've signed everyone else that came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobuo Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm assuming that Quinn is gone if they sign Delhomme. Possibly: They sign Delhomme 1-3 year contract, nothing crazy, and he starts. They're rebuilding so you start with some stability at QB. He's not great, but he can play at a competative level and he's not as incompetant as DA or Tim Couch when his head is in the game. Seneca Wallace is a back up. They draft a good class of players to put some weapons on the team. Draft a QB this year or next year and groom him as the starter. Another option if they sign Delhomme is he competes with Wallace for the job. Those are all big IFs though. I can't believe that Holmgren is sold on Wallace being the starter yet though. Lets just watch and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownB499 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Joe Montana, Steve Young,Brett Farve,Matt Hasselbeck Me thinks dude may know a quarterback when he sees one Or a poser... as the case may be Let's assume Holmie's got a clue... My guess would be we're looking for a respectable veteran to groom a young prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClevelandSound Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Kyle Orton went to a Super Bowl with the Bears. Do you want him too? Oh, and Delhomme ain't no Brett Favre my friend. Didn't say he was. My point is that I believe Delhomme has some magic left in the tank. And don't worry, when/if he signs with the Browns and leads us to our first playoff appearance since 2002, ill be there to say i told you so Kyle Orton did a very minimal thing to get the Bears to the Super Bowl. The Bears defense got them there. Jake Delhomme was partially responsible for getting the Panthers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Browns Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Oh my. Please say this ain't so... Delhomme completely lost it last year, he was absolutely horrible. Panthers fans are glad he is gone too. To borrow a phrase, clearly a case of "diminishing skills". Didn't say he was. My point is that I believe Delhomme has some magic left in the tank. And don't worry, when/if he signs with the Browns and leads us to our first playoff appearance since 2002, ill be there to say i told you so Kyle Orton did a very minimal thing to get the Bears to the Super Bowl.

Im over him. so any QB with 12 games started should get a full season of games got it i dont care who the QB but the reasons people say quinn sucks are hillarious and 100% dead wrong 12 games is only about 1/3rd of the number of games you can decide about a QB before he's good or bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it. HE IS A BUST. get over it. He can't even stay healthy in 2 straight seasons. Count the losses and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well 2 head coaches now don't see Quinn as a NFL starter. I got it. HE IS A BUST. get over it. He can't even stay healthy in 2 straight seasons. Count the losses and move on. Who said that? I never heard either Holmgren or Mangini say anything of the sort. Quinn was sat last season because of his contract escalators, and if you can't see that then you are blind. Then he goes back in and gets hurt, and we need Anderson once again. And Holmgren said himself that Quinn wasn't given a fair shake and 12 games is not near enough to judge a QB. Don't believe me? A quarterback needs two full seasons before you can judge him Somebody's got to play a full season. Not two games here, out two games, in three games ... It doesn't work. So pick one, commit, coach him up, build confidence, make him better and then surround him with good people. I will agree, though. He's been hurt too much.
