We'll never know, of course, but he would have been mediocre no matter who he played with. <br /><br />He always had trouble finding open receivers, which accounted for many of his sacks, and often threw late (causing numerous interceptions). Using the multitude of sacks is a poor excuse. His recognition factor also was terrible. <br /><br />Wonder how that horrific management would have done had they selected Tom Brady in the sixth round that year. He certainly wouldn't be on his way to the Hall of Fame.richpassannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800694504837785724.post-4218500646577469222018-12-26T07:42:00.917-07:002018-12-26T07:42:00.917-07:00I don't think its fair to call Couch a "p...I don't think its fair to call Couch a "pretender". He was put into an impossible situation and thrown to the dogs after only one game and beaten down by record sacks on a slapped together team of rejects. Cleveland has been known as a graveyard for QBs not because they were pretenders but because of horrific mismanagement by this organization over the years.Billnoreply@blogger.com
