Could it be that Jake Delhomme is the Browns’ best option at quarterback next Sunday heading into Miami, and also the worst at the same time?

We’re about to find out.

The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quarterback looked great early against the Carolina Panthers, guiding the Browns to a 21-7 lead. Then the Panthers made their move in the second half when Hyde took over. He fumbled and threw two interceptions, in the span of five plays!

The Browns found a variety of ways to throw this one away, including fumbles, interceptions, and poor playcalling, but, for once, an ugly game went in their favor. The Browns didn’t have to be perfect – and they were far from it, doing their best to lose this one – but in the end, a win’s a win.
