Wallace and Delhomme Hurt... Is This The

[steelcurtain311]

I don't know about 5 sacks, but there should at least be a couple. Browns got some good linemen, but the Steelers have elite pass rushers, and crazy blitz schemes, especially for a rookie QB to see for the first time. They usually don't fare well against the Steelers the first time. Look at Josh Freeman (second year QB, first time facing Steelers) vs. the Steelers and Josh Freeman vs. every other team he's faced.

Browns will probably just try to run the ball, a lot. Lots of punting.

And really, I don't think Jake Delholmme is much of an upgrade over JaMarcus Russell, at this point.

There are only two QB's in the NFL that Delhomme is an upgrade over.

Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson.

Wallace, however, is a vast upgrade from any of the QB's mentioned.

ESPN is saying Fatgini is wanting leaning toward starting Colt this week. Hopefully Hillis can save him.

I don't expect a whole lot of passes from the Browns, regardless of who the QB is (especially since it's a rookie). The Browns always, always play the Steelers tough so you can't ever really count them out, but the circumstances are alot different this year round. A blowout win for Pittsburgh wouldn't suprise anyone.

This game is gonna mean alot for McCoy's career so soon. Can't wait to see how he responds.

If this is too far OT then ignore it, but I think it fits.

Knowing Holmgren's history with quarterbacks, does anybody think he would have drafted him if he is going to be as bad as everybody is predicting? Even if he did get him VERY late compared to where he was projected.

I saw about 15 games he played at Texas so I don't need a laundry list of why he will fail, just looking for some thoughts on why somebody like Holmgren would have taken the guy.

Im pulling for Colt. I liked him when he as at Texas and I hope he does well in the NFL.

Holmgren's list of QB's he has drafted isn't very good.

That being said...he knows more than I ever will about QB's, so here's to hoping that he is actually right.

Remember, he was also coaching those QBs back in the day. Now we have Daboll and Mangini doing that part of it...

Doesn't bode well.
