Former Cleveland Browns franchise quarterback Tim Couch is the Dawg Pound captain in today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns selected Tim Couch with the first pick upon their return to the NFL. Couch played five seasons with the expansion Browns before retiring from the NFL due to injuries.
He smashed the guitar in just one swing.
Couch’s time with the Browns was strained as he tried to lead an upstart team. The front offices and coaches failed to build around him, focusing instead on their defense. Couch helped lead the Browns to the playoffs 2002 despite the team’s failings.

The Browns and Couch had a horrible falling out. Tim Couch suffered a concussion, after a horrendous start to the 2003 season. As he was laying on the field, Browns fans started to boo him. Couch let the media and fans know how much it rightfully upset him.
Thankfully, the city and team have patched things up with their former number one pick, Couch. Since retiring he has been involved with Browns’ media and the city. He’s a great pick for the Dawg Pound captain and a good reminder that fans and players can move on from their worst moments.
