He spent the first 5 years of his career under Manning. So there was no way he was going to start there....ever. And I'm sure his game didn't improve by sitting the bench that whole time.
He then went to Cleveland in 2001, backing up Tim Couch. Since Couch was the 1st overall pick in 1999, the Browns weren't about to give up on him just yet, so I'm sure Holcomb didn't get an honest shot at starting.
I guess what I'm getting at is that he has only played 24 games, 13 of which he started. Thus he never really had the chance to develop his game, something which I'm sure happens to alot of QBs. Therefore he might just turn out to be a good player, especially if he's around guys like Wyche and TC.
Heck, his QB rating is a full point higher than Drew's so he can't be any worse.
