before the draft I would've, but now I think I really want Loseman to be number 2! This way he's getting snaps during practice all year.

if we grab another number 2, Loseman will be the 3rd guy and he's not going to learn anything being the scout team guy during practice.

Wow goes from #1 pick to out of a job released straight up!:dizzy:

[RedEyE]

The Packers probably already have a contract in the works.

I still think he will be a decent player in this league. Cleveland gave him no line, no running game and no receivers and then blamed him for this struggles.

Yet Kelly Holcombe outperformed him.

The jury is still out on Holcomb being an NFL starter. Look at the numbers...I don't think you could say he outperformed him by that much.

2002 443 273 61.6 2842 18 18 76.8
2003 203 120 59.1 1319 7 6 77.6

Holcomb

I realize that which is sad that either a late round pick or an undrafted FA is challenging the former #1 overall pick.

Come on now. That is not an accurate barometer. Look at Brady and Bledsoe. A late round pick unseating a former number one overall. Scouting a QB is not an exact science.

Bledsoe has been a legitimate starting QB in his career Couch still hasn't gotten off the ground.

I'm not saying he is setting the world on fire. I'm just saying the Browns as an organization didn't properly give him the tools to be successful in this league. No line, no running game and no receivers. This isn't baseball, you need a supporting cast to be successful in the NFL and he didn't have it.

Couch is one of the worst QBs I've ever seen.

Yikes th ewhole point is Holcombe outperformed him with the same supporting cast. To me it looks like we will be putting his name up there with Rick Mirer and Ryan Leaf.

[tomdonahoe]

My vote is for Ray Lucas.

Who cares about the numbers...Holcomb just plain played better. He had a much better command of the offense when the Bills and Browns scrimmaged last year, IMO.
