The Browns Board
48 19 2.4k
  • Agreed, if we build the rest of the team, Weeden will look a lot better as a result too. Threw for 320 against the ravens at their stadium, not to mention in the rain.

  • im loving this play calling for one simple reason. They are limiting the abuse trich is taking, and getting weeden ready for his second season by throwing everything at him.

    its really gonna benefit the new owners and the coaching staff they bring in. thanks SHURMUR. now start packing your shit.....

  • He's going to be fine, rookies throwing interceptions is inevitable, especially when they are throwing to similarilly experienced players most of the time.

    He has a great throwing motion, throws a very nice pass. guys have to start catching them.

    He is on pace for just under 4,000 yards which would be the second most in Cleveland Browns history.

    He finally have a real QB, he needs experience and guys to start making catches that are hitting their hands.

    LOL. I never heard that kind of support last year while our receivers led the NFL in drops. I hope Weeden wins a game as he goes on to break 4,000 yards.

    because mccoy sucks. he doesnt have an nfl arm, gets more scared than a kitty in a dog pound at any sign of pressure. he throws late, he struggles with 20 yard passes that weeden can make from his knees......

    I really dont get what everyones obsession with the runt is....

    and as for wins.... we are 0-4. yes, lets do exactly what we did last year. lets win a few meaningless games, and screw ourselves again. those wins over miami and the colts were EPIC last year.

  • What a fool....

  • The guy above makes a good point and one I believe as well: Weeden throwing 40-50 times a game is great! He needs as much practice as he can get and Trent saves his bum knee for next year when we need him 100%. Trent is learning, too, but doesn't need 25+ carries to gain that experience. He's learning, otho, to block well and get out into the flat and catch screens. His all-purpose yards are just as valuable as his rushing.

    perfectly put. i have wondered where the hell the screens are. Man, every time you get trich in the open field. its not only entertaining as hell, he GETS YARDS. no sense in blasting him up the middle over and over and over...

    Last year we a QB with a minor league arm that threw everything behind the receivers. It was painful.

    Colt threw for 250 yards once all of last year. Weeden has thrown for over 320 yards twice already this year against tough AFC North defenses.

    Same guy is calling the plays. We're just moving the football a lot better. Just imagine when theys guys mature, we may have a real NFL high-powered offense ... that was never going to happen with Colt.

    Weeden has some makings of being Very good, but until he manages to get himself up into mid level on the following Stats,

    Comp % 26th, Int 32nd , Avg Yds/Att 29th, QB Rating 30th

    throwing for 4000yds wont make a single bit of difference. He came into the league with a supposed very good accuracy and completions, few maybe can be put down to our WR drops again, but the majority of his passes that arent completed are still bad throws from BW.

    Like Roach says will you be praising him throwing for 4000+ yds if he has thrown 12td and 28Int and we are 0-16 of course you wont, which is what at the moment he is on course to do.

    I do hope he sorts out Int's and gets better with completing more passes, just something about BW I dont like personally as a QB think he could be good with few improvements. Just things like after the defeat against Buffalo with him coming out and saying he played Solid, then couple days later changing his mind to appease the flak he was getting just grinds on me a lot. He is too self absorbed for my liking being honest. But in the end if he comes through for us and wins us games next year when he has had chance to learn and smooth off the rough edges I'm all in with Weeden, just time will tell.

  • These Colt supporters all sound like scorned ex-girlfriends

    "I could love you so much better than she does"

    Grow some nuts, you pussies. Make legitimate arguments other that "We would have been 4-0 under Colt McCoy".

    The guy had a whole season to prove his worth, and he came up lacking. It's over. It's done. Move on.

  • We could have the best running back in the league. Instead, D's are stacking the line because they know Weeden sucks. Great, 4000yds and 40-50 passes a game. Enjoy the 2-14 record. Idiots

    As I said ... Interceptions are to be excpected when you have a rookie QB in his first four games throwing to inexperienced receivers for the most part. Peyton Manning threw a ton of INTs his first year, most of them do.

    What I would expect is for the interceptions to decrease as experience sets in, and for accuracy numbers go up if receivers start making better plays.

    He can put the ball wherever you need it, and he is only going to get better.

    Colt does not have that kind of upside. Colt can not pass a football like Weeden.

    Yes, he's making mistakes, yes, we're losing. But if you are not encouraged by the way he throws that ball around the field, as opposed to what we were stuck with that past two years, I don't know what to tell you.

    Zombo

    --Here's what we had on the field Thursday against Ravens 😧

    Weeden ROOKIE

    Richardson ROOKIE

    Little 2nd YEAR

    Benjamin ROOKIE

    Gordon ROOKIE

    Watson VETERAN

    Cameron 2nd YEAR

    There will be mistakes, you have to be patient. But the talent level on this team is increasing ... and they will get better I promise you that.

    Colt McCoy is what he is ... these guys can be really, really good.

    Zombo

  • whatever dude.

    can we call it a man crush like you would do if someone was giving a rim job like you do to weeden every week?

    yeah he's our qb and i'll support him BUT PLEEZ ....you never gave the same support to our qb last year as you do a guy that looks like howdie doodie and at times has the hollowed out head brains of the dummy too.

    right or wrong he's our starter but don't start flaming on some guy that shows more character, leadership, ball control and fire when he's in the game than some retread of DA.

    splitting hairs on players' talent and upside is great cannon fodder for fans of the same team who choose to disagree with others but how do you really know that our record would be the same with the other guy in there? yeah weeden has an arm, so does lou ferrigno. betcha weeden sounds as dumb as that half deaf dolt in the huddle. yeah he threw for 320 last week and threw 52 times. his completion % is just over 50 and he has 3 tds compared to 7 ints. that's what probowlers are made of huh?

    watch any college football lately? how's that big 12 doing? yeah, they got some tough defenses over there........ NOT!. 70 points in a win? HA! and this is the pool of qbs we've picked from in the last 3 years? these guys wouldn't know how to read a defense if it was taped inside their eyelids.

  • The only thing I'm afraid of with Weeden is by the time we get it together and ready to make the playoffs in 14' or 15' he's going to be too old or give us one or two good playoff pushes (that'll take us to 17') and then we are having to look at blowing up the QB position again.

  • Agreed, if we build the rest of the team, Weeden will look a lot better as a result too. Threw for 320 against the ravens at their stadium, not to mention in the rain.

    yeah. welcome to the party pal. we've been saying that about every qb since kosar. sorry you were just a thigh wipe and didn't get to actually see a decent browns squad.

    good luck to ever seeing one.

    ....you never gave the same support to our qb last year

    That's because I don't think he's very good, nor is he a good long term fit at the position.

    He is small, and small-armed, and consistently throws behind receivers. With his arm, he needs to be extremely accurate to make it as a starter in the NFL, and he's not.

    Didn't RG3 play in the same conference?

    I don't hear people complaining about RG3 putting up good numbers against the Big 12.

    Didn't Colt also play in the Big 12?

    What point were you trying to make?

  • We could have the best running back in the league. Instead, D's are stacking the line because they know Weeden sucks. Great, 4000yds and 40-50 passes a game. Enjoy the 2-14 record. Idiots

    yeah, because the receivers arent KILLING the team. its all weeden. Thats why in his press conference last week, shurmur was saying that if weeden didnt start throwing better balls he was going to bench little.

    Do you even THINK before you type or is it all finger fuck then think later.

    i'm saying both our #1 and 2 qbs are both from that same conference, come from the same type of spread offense and never saw a top ten defense in their collegiate career. i wasn't complaining about any qb putting up any type of #'s rg3, weeden or mccoy....just saying that conference sure as hell isn't known for any type of defense (at least lately).

    so like RG3, weeden or mccoy to line up over the center is a change to their wide open spread offense.

    the #'s aren't all there for any of these guys yet to get criticized one way or another. i just pointed out to you that the browns weren't getting blown out when mccoy was starting as well. and if you think about it i would say the defense had more to say about those qb stats than our inept offense.

    you know how i feel about both these guys. weeden has the bigger arm. mccoy has the bigger heart. though playing in the spread in college they are 2 completely different qbs. mccoy better suited for a quick slant wco, weeden more pro style down the field guy. take your pick. weeden is starting. great i support him. now can he get us a win?

    I don't care if he averages 450 yards per game.

    Here is the weird part. If Colt had the same weapons such as TR last year, we wouldn't have drafted high enough to draft TR.

    You like height and arm strength, I like wins.
