Article On Nfl.com: Weeden Most Improved Qb For 2013

miktoxic

even though i didn't like the weeden pick, i think he's the best we got right now. if he becomes more accurate with his deep balls, quits telegraphing the pick six screen and learns to read the defense they throw out there against him, i think we could see an .500 season.

if the defense can put it together in horton's first year and actually win us a couple more, i'm smellin playoffs.

not for nothing and i know it's weird, but with the new ownership (please let that flying j shit go away) and the new staff and our sophmore guys with the young talent on d...................i haven't been this optimistic since our first year back.

Its all up to Weeden to own the 2nd and 4th quarters of games..I couldnt give 2 shits about QB rating/percentage...its about W's and thats the bottom line...

i hope Weeds main focus is to continue to work on executing the two minute. once he has that long drives can be achieved through effective play calling.

a fast start and early lead is more important than anything though. strike hard and fast in first half, then let Tr3nt and Obby take it home in the 2nd. if they can do that they will win games easier...the alternative will be struggling to win down to the last second.

Oh, my bad. Came from a board with some REALLY insane hyperbole about any number of things, have to recalibrate my reactive instincts (!).

For the sake of honesty, I pimped Tannehill/Martin a ton before the draft and I'd still do that in a heartbeat. But that ship has sailed and I do have a reasonable amount of hope for Weeden. Didn't really hate the pick but I thought a lot more of Tannehill than most Browns fans and still do.

If this regime was in charge then, I have zero doubt that would've been the draft.

Jaworski has reviewed all the film on Weeds and believes he will be a "rock solid starter" in the NFL. I believe Jaws is a solid evaluator of mechanics etc.. Weeds just needs to improve on his reads and he's on the way. Said Weeds "showed uncommon poise and calm in the pocket".

Just saw the Jaws report on ESPN. He did have a lot of nice things to say about Weeden, but only ranked him #26 of the starting qbs- mainly because of rookie mistakes.

I wonder how many of Weeden's mistakes resulted from the Shurmur systems in place?

Shurmur had a hell of a time trying to get the plays in quickly enough. That's a very bad sign...

My guess is, Weeden will begin to be very successful with people that really know what they're doing.

I'm onboard with you on that one, I believe all of Weeden's issues were a direct result of the system he was in, ex. calling a handoff to a TE that never carried the ball before. I am expecting a breakout season for our entire offense.

To play devils advocate, I legitimately can't think of a time outside of Tim Tebow where Jaws doesn't say nice things about an NFL player. It seems like every person he talks about is good.

And rightfully so. They're the best of the best. Supporting cast and systems make a big difference

out of all the 'espn' nfl analysists, i think jawaorski is the worse....followed up by gruden.

couldn't give a flying fuck about what either of them say.

I'd want to get Dilfer, Mayock, and Cosell to sit down with that game tape. I'd listen to those three talk for like four hours, minimum. And I'd learn a lot.

Yeah. Players had to have ZERO confidence in a coaching staff that failed to get plays in quickly. That'll change dramatically!
