We Done With Weeden

The FO is saving $2mil by not paying Jason Campbell playing time escalators in his contract.
Think of that next time you want to buy a jersey or piece of browns gear. It'll be a while before I do.
This IS why we are not seeing Campbell. JC is guaranteed only 500K. The rest of his contract is in incentives. The more he plays, the more TD's he throws, the more we pay the guy. It's what makes sense because nothing else does. I hate to think that they keep starting Weeden over a few bucks, but that is probably the case. And IMO, it's not Chud starting weeden... It's coming from the top. Someone else is calling the shots, even though Chud get's the blame.

They were speculating about that on The Fan this morning! If thats the case, I hope the season ticket holders tell the Browns to stick it up their ass next year when they come calling for renewals!!! You play to WIN THE GOD DAMNED GAME!!!!

Rob Chudzinski considering benching Brandon Weeden after Cleveland Browns' loss Sunday at Green Bay
BEREA, Ohio - Cleveland Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said today he will talk to his staff this afternoon and determine whether or not bench Brandon Weeden, who dropped to 0-4 as a starter this season with a poor performance in Sunday's 31-13 loss at Green Bay.
"At all positions we're considering (change),'' Chudzinski said in a noon meeting with reporters. "We do that every week.''
He acknowledged that last Monday he said he was sticking with Weeden and that the players hadn't lost confidence in the quarterback. He didn't try to hide the fact that he's waffling now.
"We'll play whoever gives us the best chance to win,'' Chudzinski said.
He stressed, "It's not all Brandon. That's just the thing you look at. Brandon needs to play better (everyone does).''
If Weeden is benched, Jason Campbell will start Sunday's game at 7-0 Kansas City. Brian Hoyer, the Browns' other quarterback entering the season, suffered a knee injury after starting against Buffalo on Oct. 3 and is out for the season.
On Sunday, Weeden was unable to overcome his abysmal start to the game. The Browns fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter and 17-3 at halftime. They fell to 3-4 on the season.
"I'm not discouraged,'' said Weeden after the game. "The last thing we need to do is get discouraged this early.''
Weeden began the game with a costly three-and-out and then his sixth interception of the season to help spot the Packers their 14-0 edge. He fell to 5-14 in his career as an NFL starter.
He had a 1.7 rating at the end of the first quarter on 2-for-11 passing and the pick, and a 16.4 mark at the end of the half on a 5-for-14 performance for 48 yards. By the time the carnage was over, Weeden had completed 17-of-42 attempts (40 percent) for 149 yards with one touchdown -- a beautiful 2-yard strike to Jordan Cameron in a tight window in the end zone -- and the one pick for a 48.6 rating.
Weeden had his full compliment of skill players at his disposal and couldn't get the job done. What's more, he was working against a defense missing three of its four starting linebackers including Pro Bowler Clay Matthews.
In Weeden's defense, several of his passes were dropped, including an early one by Davone Bess and a later one by Josh Gordon, but he struggled to get the ball to his playmakers. Gordon caught only two passes for for 21 yards -- and both of those came in the fourth quarter. Bess caught two of his six targets for 11 yards.
"Obviously it's very disappointing,'' said Weeden after the game. "We want to play well and that's what we're paid to do. We have no shortage of confidence. We're just not doing enough at the right time to get over the hump. But we're battling. We're fighting hard to the very end.''
Weeden stumbled out of the gate. He overthrew Greg Little twice on sideline passes on his opening drive, including once when Little was wide open on third and 9 to force a punt. Chudzinski attributed it to the conditions, but Weeden refused to use it as an excuse.
"The ball was slippery, but Aaron was throwing the ball just fine in it,'' he said.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Screw considering it! DO IT!!!!!!

It's good news regardless. I was starting to worry that they were going to let him go the distance.
I'd rather see us look for an outside hire, however. I don't trust Campbell as far as Colt McCoy can throw Brandon Weeden.

Aaaand fuck us...
@JasonLaCanfora: Browns sticking with Weeden as starter this week, after considering change. But wouldn't be surprised to see J. Campbell get a look soon

It will probably be when it's 40-0 this Sunday vs Kansas City is when we'll see Campbell!

I don't know why, but I'm not nearly as scared of KC as I am of any other team we've faced. I can see a low scoring game between us, assuming the defense from two weeks ago shows up.
They don't have any one player that can beat us, they win by playing smart, spreading the ball around, attacking weaknesses, and capitalizing on field position and turnovers.

This coaching staff is starting to piss me off, along with management.

Me too! All I could do was laugh and shake my head in disbelief after watching the game yesterday. What pisses me off is that we were in the race to win this division! Nnow Cincinnati is 2 games up, and low and behold here comes that shithead team from Western PA creeping back into the mix!

Weeds will need the D to hold KC to 12-16 points, cause against good teams we only score 13-17 points
-
I think he has to bench weeden when they come home against Baltimore. I expect the fans to tear him up.

$2 million this year is peanuts against all the cap room we have. Though it is confusing why Chud is being so slow on the trigger to bench Weeden. MHO is KC is his last shot- no way he can put Weeden in at home against the Ratbirds- he'll get booed off the field when he tosses his first bad pass.

I don't think I have ever seen any Browns QB play as bad as Weeden did yesterday.

It ranks up there- I saw Weeden's qbr was like 1.7 after the first quarter, and 48 for the game. I think Anderson laid a perfect goose egg in his tenure here, though I must have blocked that one out of my memory.

It's gonna get really ugly on the lakefront if Weeden starts against the Ratbirds and shits the bed!

Come on man probably 18 of the last 19 starting QB's for the Browns have had games as bad and even worse. I can not blame you if you either have selective memory or just erased them from you mind

I know Jeff Garcia had a ZERO rating for the Browns.
