If the Cleveland Browns come calling on draft day.....DONT ANSWER THE PHONE!!! LOL! When Roger Goodell goes to the podium to announce the browns draft choices from now on he should say "With the next career to ruin in the NFL draft the Cleveland Browns select......"

Tim Couch has had more than enough time to put any sins the Browns franchise laid upon him on the far back burner. The fact that he has no desire to do the work necessary to return is not Cleveland's fault.
August 19, 200719 yr Tim Couch has had more than enough time to put any sins the Browns franchise laid upon him on the far back burner. The fact that he has no desire to do the work necessary to return is not Cleveland's fault. I could go along with that except for the part of the article that talked about how much arm strength that he has lost. Since he reported in excellent shape I'm sure he didn't work on everything except his throwing arm. The fact of the matter is his arm was ruined due to the injuries he suffered while playing behind that sieve of a line in Cleveland. Work ethic has nothing to do with the fact that he can't throw hard enough anymore to be an effective NFL quarterback.

August 19, 200719 yr Wasn't arm strength a concern for Couch even in college? Yeah, but the article talked about how much arm strength he had lost from before. It was never an asset for him but it was passable--now he just can't throw the ball with enough velocity for the NFL.

During the interview with WKYT Couch stated that he had been working out for several month's. It was reported that he arrived in Jacksonville in the best physical condition of his career so as you stated work ethic was not a problem. Injuries and time away from the gridiron took it's toll. With a history of being injured, missing a week of practice spells the beginning of the end for any player trying to make an NFL roster.

Work ethic has nothing to do with the fact that he can't throw hard enough anymore to be an effective NFL quarterback. That right there is the very reason why he never was a very good NFL quarterback. He had just enough arm strength to be a great college QB, but never had the arm to make in the NFL. Every game I seen of Couch in the NFL he had so many passes that would just float on him, and let defenders get there to make plays. He just never had the arm strength of a quick enough release to be a good NFL QB. Yeah and now with him losing even more arm strength is not even allowing him to be a 3rd string QB. People just need to face it, Couch was not and never will be a good NFL QB. He just has never had the arm for it. And this is coming from a guy who loved Couch more than anyone when he was in college...
August 19, 200719 yr Sad to hear but at least he gave it another try to see if he could fit in somewhere. I wonder if he wouldn't have missed the week with the sore back if he would have gotten cut.
August 20, 200719 yr Jaguars had 5 QB's in the game... I went to the game thinking the whole time I was going to see our boy play. While at the game a friend called and let me know this info. I have to admit the Garrard kid my give Lefwich a run at QB. Their third stringer was pretty good too. Guys you know it's hard to recover from shoulder problems. Good luck to Tim where ever he winds up.
August 21, 200719 yr I guess if push comes to shove, he could move to Morehead and play in the flag football league. There's a flag football league in morehead? If so, could you pm me with more info.
