I gotta' vent

Brady Quinn, Kamerion Wimbley, Jake Delhomme, Ben Watson, Seneca Wallace and Derek Anderson.

These are all names that should be familiar to Browns fans by now. If not, I suggest you check out the blogs on the side and get updated, I don't have the time.

So, if you didn't check those out, here's a bit of spoiler... the Browns are now supposed to be quarterbacked by Jake Delhomme. Brady Quinn plays for the Broncos.

Kamerion Wimbley plays for the Raiders, Ben Watson plays for the Browns and Seneca Wallace plays for the Browns.

Derek Anderson is currently unemployed.

I lived in North Carolina for three years and I saw a lot of Jake Delhomme. He was a good football player. He has lost arm strength since having Tommy John surgery two years ago.

This is a fact. To deny it is to pretend like you have never watched the Panthers play football.

That said, he can still throw a mean short game. Dumping it off to tight ends and running backs should not be a problem.

This is where I have a problem.

Did the Browns just trade a life-long Cleveland Browns fan and record-setting quarterback who was criticized for not being able to throw the long ball immediately after signing an aging quarterback, two years removed from what is usually considered career-ending surgery for a football player?

Yes, they did.

I hope Delhomme plays great for Cleveland, but now I have to explain to my 4-year-old why we have to throw away her Brady Quinn jersey.

Thank you, Mike Holmgren.
