  • Ben Roethlisberger D.O.B. March 2, 1982

    Brandon Weeden D.O.B. October 14, 1983

    Joe Flacco D.O.B. January 16, 1985

    Andy Dalton D.O.B. October 29, 1987

    Point being: there is no "developmental period" allocable to Brandon Weeden's career. He must be prepared to come in and start right now, this year. And he must be comparable to those other three in production, right now, this year.

    OK, well Colt wasn't ever going to be, so good move.

  • They did not draft Weeden to bring him along over the next couple years.

    It's sink or swim for young Mr. Brandon...

    Unless, of course, we learn that Colt was not the major problem here, but perhaps the system that is being done.

    If Weeden comes in and does worse, then we will know. And we will know right away because Weeden has NO wiggle room. He MUST be on a level with those other guys NOW...not two years from now....for this move to be a success.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Weeden may be something...he just has to be it now.

    He is to my mind a better choice that Matt Barkley or Landry Jones etc. would be if we had tabbed them next year.

    I am just not certain that any QB will thrive under Pat Shurmur's tutelage. Maybe having Childress here will help.

    Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if they do draft a young developmental QB. After all, didn't Charlie Batch retire?

    Who is their backup now?

  • Didnt Elway win his first Super Bowl at 36 yrs old and 37 yrs old. Weeden reminds me of Dalton a bit.

    Gip, I think you're being a little too hard on Weeden, even though he's a 28 year old rookie (LOL).
