I can completely understand the notion that ultimately, Brady Quinn's value doesn't skyrocket in the west coast offense the way that say, Seneca Wallace's does. A 6th round pick seemed high, but whatever. Delhomme is just a bizarre target. He's Anderson, but 8 years older. And he suffers from the same accuracy problems that have slowed Quinn. Except in Delhomme's case, he's been around long enough so that we know that it's not a fluke.

The Browns were never going to take a QB at no. 7, but it's hard to see Wallace/Delhomme as a marked improvement over Anderson/Quinn. There's no prospects here. They'll just have to turn to whatever developmental QB they take earlier than planned.

I can't see the Browns releasing Derek Anderson, bring in Jake Delhomme, who probably has a couple of solid years in him, Seneca Wallace, who is nobody's starting quarterback, and not bring back Brady Quinn.

While I think Quinn's trade value has dropped, I would have to believe within the Browns organization his stock remains relatively high. I just don't see how they don't bring Quinn back to camp and compete with two warmed over quarterbacks.
