Thursday's Junkyard Thoughts
March 11, 2010
1. What is it about former Browns quarterbacks who join Cleveland after playing with rival Baltimore - like this guy and this guy - that makes them say this and this after they LEAVE the Browns?
2. What, by the way, do we take from Derek Anderson’s “apology” after ripping Browns fans?
It’s not that Anderson thinks what he said was wrong.
In fact, he surely STILL believes every word he said was true.
It’s that he just regrets being dumb enough to say it aloud.
3. Jake Delhomme as a potential Browns quarterback?
Sorry, but Junkyard just hasn’t been impressed with the Browns’ early philosophy in pursuing free agents.
Overpaying for middling players like linebacker Scott Fujita and tackle Tony Pashos - and chasing after beat-up interceptions machines like Delhomme - doesn’t seem like an inspiring plan.
Granted, it’s still early.
4. If we’re the Browns, we’ll eagerly take a fourth-round pick from another team - at best - in exchange for quarterback Brady Quinn.
This is not a time to be greedy.
Just move Quinn on.
It’s an overdue step for both him and the Browns.
5. Yet ANOTHER reason why the Browns should be fighting, scratching and clawing to convince Detroit to trade its No. 2 overall pick - and increase their chance of drafting Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.
Yes, even if means the Browns have to trade Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas to Detroit, which desperately needs a left tackle.
