Interesting the comparison between Couch and Brady Quinn. In 1999 Brown had less than no O line ( I think sometimes they turned around, ran the other way and help sack Couch ) He took a pretty serious beating while trying to adjust to the speed of NFL. Quinn sat out last year, will probably sit out most of this year and will become the franchise quarterback after two years of studying NFL defenses and with Cleveland having a championship level O line. (and by that time we will have a defense that lets the O sit and rest for while) I think he's got a real future and is smart enough to know this is working out very well for him.

>I think you meant to reply to Dean. Aikman I did know. Couch and Wilkinson were a joking tip of the hat to famous #1 busts by NFL teams in Ohio <g>.

>It's funny that Couch's year was at the time considered to be a banner draft for quarterbacks. Now it is mainly remembered as the year of highly drafted QB busts. McNabb and Culpepper have done OK (not great) but the first round also included Couch at #1, Akili Smith at #3, and (local favorite) Cade McNown at #12.
