QB moves by Cleveland Browns: Really?

The past few days have been very exciting, Cleveland-Browns-wise. By which I mean, as usual, that Mangini has boggled my mind:

1) They cut one of their QBs, Derek Anderson.

2) They got Seneca Wallace from the Seattle Seahawks (I'm not blaming Mangini on this one since Wallace must have been Holmgren's idea. But still).

3) They acquire Jake Delhomme days after he was cut by the Carolina Panthers for sucking big-time last season.

4) They traded remaining QB Brady Quinn to the Broncos.

So their starting QB is now either the back-up for Matt Hasselbeck or Jake Delhomme, who was really not very good last year (to quote one Yahoo commentator, he was the 'worst QB not named Jamarcus Russell').

This is almost as good as when Mangini acquired Brett Favre, but not quite. Because at least you might deceive yourself into thinking Favre could be good. These guys? I am confused.

Last year's QB ratings:

Anderson: 42.1
Quinn: 62.7
Wallace: 81.9
Delhomme: 59.4

League average: 83.4

Not like they were all that phenomenal as QBs, but I mean, you've got four guys here under the QB average and you purposefully went out of your way to acquire two of them. Hence my confusion.

Everyone Hates Mangini, pt. 2

Even more Mangini vitriol on Yahoo today. Although this column doesn't suggest that he was the Worst. Hire. Ever., it does question what the owner of the Browns, Randy Lerner, was thinking when he hired Mangini and let Mangini choose his own GM. Which is definitely fair enough.

I think I stand for many when I say that we were all wondering what Lerner was doing when he hired Mangini. We don't need to elaborate any further on that point.

Mangini hatred ramping up

So you might think you hate Mangini, but I will bet that you come nowhere close to this article. It doesn't just claim that Mangini is bad. It doesn't just question the logic of Cleveland hiring him. It puts forth the argument that Mangini is the worst hire in the entire history of the league. I mean, that is a bold claim!

In other Browns-related news, the GM that Mangini hired was fired yesterday.

Browns fans: just remember, the worse he is, the faster he leaves. I promise.

How you know your team is in trouble: coach may be arrested for assult

Tom Cable, coach of the Raiders, may be arrested, some rumor mills are reporting.

Now, this already wasn't the Raiders season. But something tells me that having the coach arrested wouldn't help. Not to mention that I feel as though Goodell would frown upon such an action and probably bar him from coaching (at least if Goodell is at all consistent, he would).

I feel like Mangini and Oakland are destined someday. Who knows? That day could come sooner than I thought (he sure isn't going to be in Cleveland very long at this rate).
