Campbell is better than Weeden. Case closed. Is he good? Probably not. But he's somewhat competent and that is wildly better than what we get with brandy.

Yep.

He basically has to be competent, and we're somewhere near 7-9.

He played in 6 games with he Bears last year and threw for 265 yds...

We better hope the Fozzy Kamikaze is ready to blow up

God help us all. I honestly would rather have Weedtard in there. Idk what Campbell can offer us. Hoyer only played mediocre and leapfrogged him. Not sure how this will turn out

Really, you want a guy in there that's 31st in the NFL in QBR who's thrown more than a couple passes? Thrown more picks than TDs? A guy who stands in the pocket picking his ass waiting to get sacked? A guy who has receivers quit on him because he's hanging them out for kill shots? Jason Campbell not even looking at Weeds after his TD catch should tell you everything you need to know. Weeden has an NFL arm. and a Pop Warner mentality. The game is just too fast for him to process.

I don't know if Campbell will be any better, but it's hard to imagine him being any worse. It gives me faint hope I may actually witness something resembling a Browns offense this week in KC.

The Bears Oline that year was terrible. Cutler was sacked innumerable times and even his numbers were down. Redskins teams that he played with were terrible and still are with the exception of RG3. This is probably the best offensive personnel that he's played with. Over his career he's thrown more TD's than picks something you can't say for Weeden. This team needs decent quarterback play and I think Campbell can deliver that.

it's obvious they need to sign a #3 qb

cause if campell goes down weeden's not gonna have any interest in going back out there just to be a tackling dummy...

Pumpkin Eater

Good.

The team and fans needed to see this change, now we have to hope campbell can survive against a very hostile defense or we will unfortunately see weeds again..

Honestly i would rather see us sign some no name as a backup and waive weeden..

Imagine the story if we go into KC and win...........It'll be all Hoyer 2.0

I don't think so. We know what we've got in Campbell. He's had a nice average career and has played on some very shitty teams. He was looking really good with the Raiders before the injury a couple years back.

Hoyer was a complete unknown so to see him come in and play well and lead us to 2 wins gave us hope that we might not need a QB in the first round next season. I don't think it matters how Campbell plays the rest of the way, we're picking a QB early in next years draft.

It is possible that Campbell is worse, guys. As heinous and horrific as that thought is, it's in play.

Mark O

I don't think its really possible for him to be worse. We've all seen him play. When we played the Raiders 2 years ago, he had them at 4-2 and they were on their way to beating us that day before he got hurt and their season turned to shit.

We have Marqueis Gray put him in next- Weeds is done.

It is possible for someone to play worse than weeden. I, for example, have never played football in my life. I'd probably be quite inaccurate, with a noodle arm and bad decision making. I'm also not getting paid a million dollars a year to do it professionally. If there is a QB anywhere that is worse than Weeden, he shouldn't be in the league!

On top of that, he's essentially been benched twice this season. The guys confidence is totally (deservedly) shot so if he goes back in it'll be more of a train wreck than last week. Honestly I'd rather see Gray come in and run a read-option game if Campbell goes down than see Weeden again.

The Italian DawgPound

How do you guys think the playcalling should change to support Campbell? Do you think he can step in with the same kind of plays called for Weeden?

gftChris

He's a bit more mobile, right? Maybe the odd QB draw?

Zombo

He's more mobile, smarter, more experienced and more accurate. Run the same offense and get better results.

Listen Weeden was too ugly to root for. This team is close, if we had an average QB we would be a solid team. I hate to say it but Brady Quinn does look hot.

We need to sign Cutler in the off season. I myself wish Dallas would have given up on Romo, I have to admit I am a bit of a romosexual

Wheezy will look great holding a clipboard somewhere. I'd be more excited if we had some rookie coming in to take a shot over Campbell. We know what that guy has, he's failed in Washington, and again in Oakland yet we expect a different outcome in Cleveland? Truth is, we win about the same number of games with Campbell as we would have with Weeden.

I don't think he failed in Oakland, rather he got injured. I believe he was 4-2 which was a big improvement for them. We just need a serviceable QB to be competitive/watchable. If Weeden was to start again, i would be mowing the lawn, playing with my kid, or something else instead of getting mad at terrible football every Sunday. Weeden is toast.
