However, all kiddding aside, Bernie deserves some respect. Although I've seen him in person, I have never actually met him. But, I have close friends that have spoke with him briefly and addressed his speech. He's basically punch drunch. He is an extremely bright guy (Go Gladiators) who's melon didn't take well to all those years of abuse. Oh, and by the way, he does have a Super Bowl ring. Do You Jeeerrryyy?

I'm sure, like me, many of us would like to give him our support. All being said, Tim Couch was a Brown and still is in my book. We Dawgs never abandon our champions, no matter how bad things get. He was one of the few who made it to the pinnacle of the NFL. He deserves all the best. I'm still hoping he'll make a comeback. Best of luck Tim, where'er you are!

It's about time someone was fair--have only seen bashing of Couch up 'til this point. I'm from KY and followed Couch through HS and college and consider myself fair even when it comes to athletes from my region. I wanted the Cleveland Browns to succeed under Couch, and still do. I think that they have an oppurtunity under the current management. I am not here to claim that Tim was an absolute world-beater because he wasn't. He wasn't even a very good NFL qb. But in all fairness he didn't really have a chance to prove what he could do. He always had a mediocre line and a questionable running game at best. He could've had better receivers at the same time. History (which is usually a harsh judge- in spite of the "ready-to-gloryify" media) owes Tim and the Cleveland team he guided a bit of leniency. Thanks to someone (didn

I don't think you've ever had serious tendonitis before have you? Didn't think so. I got it in my right knee from playing football. And you know how? I made a running throw and was caught in the air and came down hard on my knee. Tendonitis hurts very bad but you can play through it, but it stays with you for a long time. I think Couch was tough. Just too battered and beaten all the time. And dont say that he missed his targets when the o-line did protect him...because THEY NEVER DID. He still had a career completion percentage of 59.8%. Now for sack totals 1999 15 games 14 starts - 56 sacks 2000 7 games 7 Starts - 10 sacks...YAY improvement 2001 16 games 16 starts - 51 sacks...OUCH 2002 14 games 14 starts - 30 sacks....ehhh 2003 10 games 8 starts -19 sacks Career sack percentage of 8.8% and was sacked in a total of 59 starts....get ready....166 times. Enough said Oh yes and one more thing for Jose.

Cleveland just came back and he was thrown into the fire right away because Detmer got hurt. Lets face it. He never had a running back and he never had an offensive line. Look at what both things did for Derek Anderson. You can't say that Couch didn't live up to his potential when he's getting sacked all the time. And whoever this Jose guy is dumb. Don't even compare Couch to Frye because Couch could actually hit his open targets. And having no vision means you don't look at your #2 reciever you tool. It means you stare down the #1. This Jose guy is just plain retarded. Anyway, i say if he would've went to Philly or even an (eep) Cincy, i think he does better just for the fact that he would've had a "decent" supporting cast. Not very good, but still better than Cleveland. I mean c'mon, his best offensive linemen he had over the years were Dave Wohlabaugh and Ryan Tucker and they Dave was a center and Tucker was constantly getting injured. Like I said, wrong place at the wrong time. In my opinion with watching Couch all of his years in Cleveland, it was the wrong place at the wrong time.
