When the Browns drafted 28-year-old Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, there was an argument to be made that the biggest loser in the entire draft was incumbent quarterback Colt McCoy, whose job is now likely being given to someone else.

As if that wasn't enough, Mike Holmgren fave and 2011 backup quarterback Seneca Wallace appeared on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland and, via the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, said he'd be willing to do what he wasn't with McCoy and mentor Weeden.

"I know my job going into my 10th season of being in this offense is to prepare Brandon Weeden to get him right and make sure he's ready to go for day one," Wallace said. "This is a different beast. This is a first-rounder that we drafted, 22nd overall and from a business standpoint you know and everybody else knows and outsiders know that this kid's got to play. My job as a veteran guy is to make sure he's ready to play."

Before 2011, Wallace didn't express much interest in playing the role of backup. You can tell from his comments above -- "different beast" -- that he understands the obvious sentiment from the Browns: Weeden is going to be the favorite to start in 2012.

Despite signing a three-year deal, Wallace only got substantial playing time when McCoy suffered a controversial concussion against the Steelers in Week 13 of 2011 (and only the week after).

It's pretty clear that he views the Browns the same way Holmgren and Pat Shurmur do, as Weeden's team and with potentially limited spots on the roster for backup quarterbacks.

"I don't know,'' Wallace said. "That's a sticky situation. Colt was the starter and now they bring another kid in to pretty much replace me and Colt, so you never know what kind of reaction you're gong to get. It's just a sticky situation and I'm sure management here in Cleveland will make sure they make the right decision.''

Given that, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that Wallace is willing to do whatever it takes to make himself the most attractive option from a backup perspective, even if that means taking on a mentoring role that he previously wasn't thrilled about embracing.
