In his first move as football czar for the Cleveland Browns, Mike Holmgren is making waves.
The Former Seattle Seahawks/current Wally the Walrus look alike announced today that the Browns are bringing Drew Bledsoe out of retirement.
“The guy is a nurturer,” Holmgren said. “Look at the kids who come up from under him: [Tony] Romo and [Tom] Brady. Those guys backed him up and now look; both Pro Bowlers. I’m pretty sure this will get Brady Quinn on track,” Holmgren added. “It’s called the Drew Bledsoe Effect.”
Bledsoe didn’t come cheap, Holmgren had to outbid Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, who had a similar plan for Bledsoe to nurture his own embattled quarterback, Jamarcus Russell.
“We don’t want Drew [Bledsoe] coming in until the first week of the season,” Holmgren said. “We don’t want him conditioned or prepared at all,” Holmgren continued. “I’m not saying I want him unprepared and to get hurt, but I’m not NOT saying that.”
Holmgren was eager to dismiss those who think he’s running Bledsoe out to be seriously injured.
“We’re shooting for a broken sternum, or arm, or leg, not a collapsed lung or paralysis,” Holmgren said. “Nothing life threatening, but serious enough to get Brady [Quinn] in there.”
Holmgren was also quick to dispel any quarterback controversy rumors.
“Brady [Quinn] will take snaps with the first team offense during the preseason, and hopefully by halftime of the opener nature will have run its course and the Drew Bledsoe Effect will have come to fruition,” Holmgren explained.
Quinn is excited about Holmgren’s commitment to making him better.
“This is so freaking sweet,” Quinn said. “I can go from the buffest backup quarterback in the league to the buffest Super Bowl winning quarterback. Tom Brady may have to handsome devil market cornered, but I’ll grab the jacked quarterback market and never let go. EAS is going to be pumped, like me. God I’m so freaking ripped,” Quinn said.
