DC Mom Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 No, Marv is looking for more of a high-character guy like Akili Smith to provide competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Maybe Marv would sit on the Green Lime Couch or whatever...thats the closest couch we will see at OBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 IIRC, Couch has a real bad shoulder. Last I heard, he was battling with the Packers over an injury settlement. Guy had a tough-luck carreer - those years in CLE with poor OL's and little running game. He had some good seasons with WR Kevin Johnson, though.

silvermike Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The secret plan is actually to release not only Losman, but Holcomb as well. Then bring in an open competition between Couch, Smith, and Cade McNown. Three top-12 picks! That's gotta net a playoff berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyNorwood Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just read this at KFFL and thought I would throw out the possibility that he may come for a workout. Cuz I know how much Marv loves a man that can cry. Texans | Teams works out Couch Fri, 17 Feb 2006 05:42:31 -0800 Megan Manfull, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans worked out free agent QB Tim Couch (Packers) Thursday, Feb. 16. Couch has been going through a long recovery from rotator cuff surgery. "Tim came in, we put him through a long workout, and he had a good workout," Texans general manager Charley Casserly said.

Jeff Garcia Craig Nall Chris Weinke Chris Simms (maybe we can sign his dad) Ty Detmer Josh McCown Jamie Martin Seneca Wallace Ken Dorsey (RFA) Jesse Palmer PTR 605664[/snapback] Not an inspiring list. I'd say the best of this bad deal are: Sage Rosenfels Jon Kitna Drew Brees (depending on injury) Chris Weinke (had some decent moments on a bad team) Chris Simms Josh McCown Jamie Martin I don't see any obvious upgrades to Holcomb here. Drew Brees, if he can come back from injury. Maybe Josh McCown, though he's a question mark. The question mark theme goes triple for Rosenfels. Jon Kitna was a good QB a few years back, but is he over the hill? Maybe Chris Simms can make a decent career for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch was clearly better, but those years of playing behind one of the worst offensive lines EVER, caught up to him. He did pick Pittsburgh apart 2 straight years- one being as a rookie after Cleveland lost to them 43-0 with Ty Detmer at QB. If he's healthy- both mentally AND physically, I would love to have him come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
