Cleveland Browns Quarterback Depth Will Make Training Camp Fun

This time last year the Browns had two potential starting quarterbacks, but neither of them were able to ride that horse for more than a few weeks.

This year, Jake Delhomme is the starter, though Seneca Wallace has been given a token chance to win the job in training camp.

Then there's Colt McCoy, the potential future of the franchise, who will be holding the clipboard and waiting for his chance should it arrive this year.

Brett Ratliff is also on the list, but his chances of making the final 53-man roster are slim.

Delhomme is coming off his worst season as a professional, but Team President Mike Holmgren believes that season was a fluke and that he can really help the Browns this year.

Given his complete meltdown in Carolina, it's not unreasonable to believe the proverbial "Change of Scenery" scenario is all the 35-year-old quarterback needed. The fact is his arm is healthy and there's no reason he can't regain his Pro Bowl form this year.

Add to this the Browns' rapidly improving offensive line, and it's a recipe for success. Center Alex Mack, left tackle Joe Thomas, and left guard Eric Steinbach have made that side of the line a brick wall.

The right side started improving at the end of last year, and the addition of Shaun Lauvao and Tony Pashos should only make things better.

While Wallace will get his shot, you don't pay Jake Delhomme starter's money to have him start the season on the bench, but expect to see a lot of Wallace on the field this year through the Wildcat formations.

It's also worth noting that if McCoy is on the active roster and used as a wide receiver, you potentially could get four quarterbacks on the field with Delhomme, Wallace and Joshua Cribbs out there as well.

Think of what an opposing defensive coordinator would have to do to deal with four guys on the field who could potentially take the snap and wing it downfield.

The possibilities are endless, so training camp should provide some clues as to what to expect from the Browns offense this year.
