Browns QB Seneca Wallace has decided to force the team’s hand in a series of quotes today that could down as a classic case of “be careful what you wish for you just might get it.”
In assessing whether or not the Browns will keep both him and Colt McCoy to backup Brandon Weeden, Wallace was blunt in his statement to the media according to cleveland.com
“Can any of you guys see all three of us being here?” Wallace said. “You’ve written about it, so that answers your question…Probably not,” he said.
Wallace went on to more or less state that he could ask for a trade if he’s listed as the third guy on the depth chart by responding to the question with ”I don’t know, we’ll see when it gets to that point.”
“No, not really (I don’t want to be the No. 3),” said Wallace.”That’s something that obviously for no reason you go down to the third guy, and we all know the third guy doesn’t dress on Sundays and if that comes down to that decision, obviously neither one of us (him or McCoy)wants to be that third guy.”
As for how he wants the Browns to handle all of this drama, Wallace feels like it’s time to move forward with Weeden…he just wants to be the backup.
“If you’re going to move forward with a guy and (want him to) be your franchise guy, you need to put all of your focus on that guy and let him play and take all of the media situations out of it and the fan situations out of it and let him play in order to build that franchise the way you want it.”
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Colt is still fighting for the number one spot.
“When I come out to practice, in my mind, I’m the starter,” said McCoy.
Wow. I hear where Wallace is coming from but if he really wants to “focus” on helping Weeden be the franchise guy then he should be laying low.
McCoy maybe fighting for his job but Wallace has certainly not done himself any favors by throwing in his two cents publicly.
He was always a favorite of Mike Holmgren’s who brought him with him from Seattle. There is no shortage backup guys in the NFL, so really saying what you are and are not willing to do in the press is not a good look.
