I can't believe how much people are blowing this out of proportion. Just because they are looking at someone doesn't mean that they are going to draft them. Any team with a top 10 pick would be stupid to not look at the top QB's.

thankyou! as holmgren said, they're doing their due diilligence. why would any intelligent team only look at the players they're actually interested in and let the rest of the nfl know who they're targetting? plus, it couldn't hurt to see what a guy like cam can do.

For Shumer to say it won't affect the team..If they aren't back till late August..Come on now its a HUGE impact..but then Holmgren and Shumer will have a built in excuse for 4 and 12
Putting in an entire new offense and defense in a couple weeks..seriously

Would you rather have him say that we're screwed. I sure as hell don't.

no, but why lie? say it's going to be a large task to tackle, but him and his staff are going to do their best and expect nothing less of the players.
not...."yeah, we'll be totally fine, nothing to worry about. hell, why do we even have offseason workouts? we can install a playbook in the dressing room before week 1!!!".

agreed and when shurmur said he's seen teams get things installed in a short amount of time, i'm sure he didn't mean in a couple of weeks or some ridiculously short amount of time. people, their comprehension skills and the need to be negative. it never ceases to amaze me.

I dont think Cam Newton has the IQ to run a WCO,,,I doubt it
heck he may be VInce Young 2.................he made a miracle play that won a game and did it again four times after the same way........DUH
Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -

BEREA: When Pat Shurmur was named the Browns' head coach Jan. 13, he didn't know he would become the offensive coordinator, too.
During his introductory news conference the day after he was hired, Shurmur revealed that he would call the offense's plays. Still, the Browns intended to employ an offensive coordinator who could game plan and serve as Shurmur's right-hand man.
That arrangement, however, never came to fruition.
The Browns talked to Mike McCoy and Bill Musgrave about replacing Brian Daboll, who's now with the Miami Dolphins, as their offensive coordinator, Shurmur said. But McCoy chose to keep the same role with the Denver Broncos, and Musgrave decided to leave his post as the Atlanta Falcons' quarterbacks coach and accept a job as the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator.
''They were in the mix, and then they decided to be elsewhere,'' Shurmur said Friday during an interview in his office at the Browns' headquarters. ''It doesn't bother me. It's the business of hiring a staff.''
Now Shurmur, 45, is committed to juggling the duties of an offensive coordinator and a first-time head coach. He has sensed concern from outsiders, though he remains confident.
''I don't think it's gonna be a problem,'' said Shurmur, whose resume includes gigs as the quarterbacks coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams. ''I think I have a staff of coaches that are extremely talented, and as you prepare for a game, it's the staff that does the preparation. You decide what plays you're gonna call, and then you spend the time to decide how you're gonna call them. But the preparation of what plays we're gonna run is done on a staff basis.
''In terms of the game management, every team has structures of how they handle it. Again, I've seen it work. I saw it work for all those years in Philly, where [coach] Andy Reid called the plays for most of those years, and, most recently, [offensive coordinator] Marty [Mornhinweg] has called them. But there was always interaction between the two, so it's not uncommon.''
In Shurmur's first season with the Rams, he called the plays from the sideline. In his second and final season in St. Louis, he worked from a booth in the press box.
''Why the switch?'' Shurmur said. ''There's just obviously a couple ways to do it. I think there's advantages to both. I feel like I can see things as well from the field as the booth. It's a different view, but you can see things. Obviously, you're hands on with the players. Interaction with the quarterback [improves]. You don't have to get on the phone with them. Being down on the field, you're in the flow of the game.''
Shurmur said he's ''very comfortable'' with the idea of filling dual roles. He's also at peace with calling plays from the sideline again.
But when Shurmur, or anyone else in the NFL, will return to the field is a mystery. The league's labor dispute has created unique obstacles early in his tenure with the Browns.
''It's out of my control, so I look at it as a challenge to get our organization up and running on the field with whatever time is available,'' said Shurmur, whose staff will install the West Coast offense and the 4-3 defense once the locked-out players are allowed to report to offseason programs. . . . ''I'm very confident because of the [coaches] we have here. With the time that we're given to get a team up and running, we'll do so.''
Of course, some measures already have been taken. On Monday, Browns President Mike Holmgren said quarterback Colt McCoy received Shurmur's playbook before the lockout took effect last week and communication was cut off between players and coaches.
''In my conversations with [McCoy], just getting to know him, I feel like he's got what it takes to be a fine player,'' Shurmur said. ''I'm confident that he'll learn what he has to do, and he'll be able to help the other players.''
Brownies
The Browns are set to hold a private workout with South Carolina defensive back Chris Culliver, league sources told NationalFootballPost.com. . . . Holmgren said it's ''absolutely'' a realistic possibility that the Browns could bring back Jake Delhomme to join McCoy and Seneca Wallace as the quarterbacks on the roster.
