Reply #8: At least you finally dumped "Crank it up" Timmy Couch

[Awsi Dooger]

Possibly the worst #1 pick of the modern era. At least San Diego identified Ryan Leaf with #2. You guys deserve much more ridicule and Couch more infamy, since Culpepper and McNabb were both available. In college, Couch had a horrible delivery and virtually no arm, just little dump offs in a gimmick offense at Kentucky. I would not have drafted him in the 5th round.

But that summer I visited Cleveland and took plenty of grief from the locals when I suggested Couch would bust. And after the Hall of Fame exhibition game, the local media all but had him an enshrinee in 20 years or so.

Like many 'Canes fans, I pull for Cleveland because of the Butch Davis connection and Bernie Kosar history, plus the basic uniforms and logo with all this futuristic crap on almost every other helmet.
