Is Delhomme better than Quinn?

[Kevin Greene]

Today? Derek Anderson is gone, Seneca Wallace is the other option in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND -- Browns President Mike Holmgren said that trade talk for Brady Quinn is "a little premature," but he indicated that Quinn's future with the club depends on acquiring another quarterback. "It all depends on what else we can do," Holmgren told The Plain Dealer on Friday. "We are continuing to look for and evaluate quarterbacks."

Holmgren said that he has not closed the door on signing free agent Jake Delhomme, who left the Browns without a contract to visit the New Orleans Saints. Delhomme, 35, is undecided about whether he wants to compete for the Browns' starting job or finish his career as Drew Brees' backup with his hometown team.

"Delhomme is an ongoing discussion ... he still is on radar," Holmgren said. "But I did tell this to Jake: while you're debating what you want to do, I've got to keep going. We're not just sitting on our hands waiting for something to happen.

"I don't want to be left standing at the altar."

Holmgren insisted he did not -- and would not -- promise Delhomme a starting job.

"I told him when I met with him that we'll never say that to a free agent guy, tell him, 'You're the starter,'" Holmgren said. "I think if you promise guys those things, and then something happens (to change that), then you have a disgruntled player. We're not going to do that.

"I think if we're competing with New Orleans, I think it's safe to say he will not be the starter in New Orleans. I think he certainly has the potential to be the starter here."

I hope he does sign with the browns... and will be interested in how he would play against us this year?

Go Delhomme

yes but Quinn has more upside when given a chance.

unfortunately, he'll never get that chance with the Browns. It's been a while since I've seen a player treated as badly as Quinn has been in Cleveland.

Sounds like it is up to Jake and that he could probably be the starter.

If 10 Jake isnt 09 Jake, then yes.

Wallace is better than both.

Seneca Wallace isn't better than either. I say Jake goes to Cleveland and starts at least the beginning of the season as a Quinn mentor, cause Derek Anderson obviously didn't mentor Quinn much. Wherever he ends up, I wish him the best of luck.

winning a ring in one of the world's finest cities>>>being a starter for a dreadful team in a dreadful city. COME HOME JAKE.

I don't think Jake is the type of person who cares about a ring if he didn't help earn it.

Wallace has 25 TDs to 14 INTs in 556 attempts in his career and had 11TDs to 3INTs in the 8 games he started in 2008 and a 58.3 completion percentage and 87 QB rate.

Quinn has 10 Tds to 9 INts in 353 attempts in his carrer. He had 8TDs to 7INTs last season with a 53.1 completion percentage and 67.2 QB rating. And was constantly pulled in and out of the line up because of how bad he was. Wallace is better than him.

Jake has had more INTs than TDs the last 2 years with a 55.5 completion percentage last season and 59.4 QB rate. In 2008 he had a 59.4 completion percentage and 84.7 QB rate. Wallace is better than him.

In conclusion, Wallace is better than both.

Nice sig.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

I'd rather see Jake as a starter than as a back-up wherever he goes. And I don't think it matters who's better, Cleveland needs a change up.
