July 20, 200719 yr I said people would be crazy to think if Couch would have went from being 3 and 13 his first year to 13 and 3 in his second year like Manning. I mean obviously Manning talent around him must have not been that great when he got drafted cause the Colts had the first round pick to get him, and then still only went 3 and 13. Also do you think that maybe the reason why he didn't get hit as much as Couch was because he makes quicker decisions and gets rid of the ball quicker. So it would have made it look like the line was not as bad. I admit the Colts had a little better talent, but Manning was able to take those players and make them even better..How do you know he is not as bad as others say, I mean he did nothing in the NFL so people are justified to say that. Also I said at best an average NFL QB, I didn't say anything about him just being average at life, so get that right next time before you want to call someone out a little bit like that... I stated I wouldn't post on this thread so I sent you a PM.
July 20, 200719 yr At best he'll be back up QB, let him take a few snaps now and then, just to see if he has what it takes to throw some passes, if he doesn't Bon Voyage.:walk:
July 21, 200719 yr Guys I don't think it could hurt. I think if he feels he has what it takes to make another come back, then I say let him try. Case in point. Look at the career of Tommy Maddux. He was former first round draft pick gone bust, out of the league for 6 seasons and then he makes a big splash in 2002. Granted he was out of the league the first time around due to a lack of quality play, but like Tim Couch he never lost hope of trying to make it again in the league. Another example, Tony Mandarich. Big bust, sure. Out of the league for four years, due to lack of quality play and illness. Gives it one more try and plays for the Colts for three more years. Last example, this year Andre Wadsworth is making another come back at 32 years old. He played a grand total of 3 season before he had horrible knee injury. I don't know if will make it, but he is giving it another try and is currently on the New York Jets roster. All I'm saying who are we to judge whether or not he should try out again or whether or not he can make it. Lets cheer him on whether he makes it or not. I'm proud of the fact he is from Kentucky, played at Kentucky and had the success he had. Good luck to Tim Couch.
July 21, 200719 yr But he's such a better athlete than Brohm.....and he should be in his prime RIGHT NOW. Oops. Sorry about that, I fell off the couch and hit my head, I think I blacked out for a few minutes. I had a vision of RockPride saying a Ky QB was better then Brohm.
July 22, 200719 yr I'm not sure if he still has it or not (none of us do) but I would love to see him come back & be successful. He is from the same VERY VERY SMALL city that I am from (Hyden, Ky) & I have watched him play ball since he was a Junior in High School. If he can't come in and contribute to a team then just stay out & enjoy life with the millions of $, his playboy wife & his new little boy.
July 22, 200719 yr Put Peyton on the Cleveland Browns and Tim Couch with the Colts and Couch is the one with the super bowl ring and Peyton is the one who is out of the league. Please tell me he's kidding. :lol: :lol: :lol:
July 23, 200719 yr One of the biggest NFL flops of all time needs to just get a job in Lexington and try to live off his fame.
July 23, 200719 yr Put Peyton on the Cleveland Browns and Tim Couch with the Colts and Couch is the one with the super bowl ring and Peyton is the one who is out of the league. Couch had no supporting cast in Cleveland. Johnny Unitas couldnt have won with that team. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It is good to see people still have a sence of humor. Tim was not even the best QB on his own team, he got benched for a career back up. I can't even remember the guys name right now.

I can't even remember the guys name right now. Kelly Holcomb...I think that kind of shows that Tim Couch really just didn't have it when it came to atleast being a NFL Starting QB...If healthy though he could one day may a good backup for a team...
July 23, 200719 yr Kelly Holcomb...I think that kind of shows that Tim Couch really just didn't have it when it came to atleast being a NFL Starting QB...If healthy though he could one day may a good backup for a team... While I don't think he would have ever been as good as Peyton he didn't exactly get benched for Holcomb. Couch started 14 games that year and had thrown 18 touchdowns. He was injured and Holcomb took over for the last 2 games and the playoffs. As has been shown since then his shoulder was really messed up and he was never the same.
July 29, 200719 yr I don't know what his chances are but I saw this today. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-jaguars-couch&prov=ap&type=lgns
July 29, 200719 yr I don't know what his chances are but I saw this today. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-jaguars-couch&prov=ap&type=lgns Yep, saw that story today. If Jacksonville is going to sign another quarterback, I would rather them sign Culpepper. But I would love to see Couch sign on somewhere.
July 29, 200719 yr I'm from the very small town Tim is from (Hyden, Ky) & a reliable source (somebody related to Tim) has told me that he did sign with the Jags. He does have a condo in Florida.
