Weeden & McCoy have good exhibition.

So many former Browns starting QB's in the NFL that every so often, they play against each other, which was the case today, when Thad Lewis (BUF) played against Drek Anderson (CAR).

Many consider Drek to be the best backup in the NFL and that may be true if Mike Vick continues to fight for and win that starting job with the J E T S.

Why Browns have sucked = very good at acquiring quarterbacks with backup potential to be starting quarterbacks. Is that what you're getting at?

Good reminder that you shouldn't pay too much attention to preseason games.

unless of course your boy JF lights it up, then i'm sure your position will change.

LOL! Money Manziel only lights it up on paydays-fuck preseason!

[miktoxic]

what exactly are we talking about lighting up?

[letsgojackets]

Man I gotta keep up with the nicknames around here. Dick Mellon.......that's a good one. Who picked that out?

[WalterWhite]

Manziel is going to put on a fucking show tonight.

Yay....tons of hyperbole trying to prove a point no one but the dumbest of fans make.

Smh

[Flyin J]

Weeden and McCoy generally looked good in the preseason for us too. They both still suck.

I dont agree that preseason is meaningless. I think you can get hints of what will happen during the season.

The flip side is if a player stinks it up in the preseason, the bust labels come flying out. If they do well and...oh its just preseason.

Agree... In preseason hints are there, on the tape. Where they are not, in the stats.

All we can effectively evaluate at home are the lines, the RBs and, to an extent, the LBs because they are on our tape from snap to either end of play or the ball is away.

We cannot effectively evaluate QBs, WRs and DBs... for that we need wide shots. Normally we only see those during replay teaching moments when our color commentator du jour wants to strut his stuff...

[USFBrown]

Weeden has the arm to be a great qb but lacks the wit. He's just dumb and plays scares. He makes same mistakes over and over again. You can't fix stupid!

Love him getting caught under the flag.

I hope not. I hope he plays a good game of football! I've seen enough of his "shows" already!

I think the quarterback position is difficult to evaluate during the preseason. The defenses dont gameplan and so many players are held out these days. Things that us armchair generals can look for are pocket presence. I was not a fan of Bridgewater and you saw his lack of pocket presence in his first preseason game. Its a trait that great quarterbacks have naturally. Manziel has excellent pocket presence. I think you have to see basic accuracy and how he runs the huddle and the tempo of the game.

Side note: Blake Bortles was impressive. You could see some good qualities.

Agree.. you can get a sense of a QB. Just saying that with out the full field view you cannot evaluate the reads or lack thereof and IMO that is what matters most in the NFL.

I disagree about Manziel's (shocker, I'm sure) pocket presense. Like most running QBs, I think he bails far to easily... but we shall see tonite.

I have not watched Bridgewater's Vikes debut as yet, but did watch most of the Jags/ Bucs game this AM.

Both starting QBs, McCown/ Henne, looked "dull" with McCown making the worst single throw of the nite, a classic back-footed INT.

Both 2nd teamers, Glennon/ Bortles, looked sharper... much more decisive in their throws.

I came away thinking that the Jags will be hard-pressed to stick to their QB plan.

WOOF WOOF

[Harry Buffalo]

Weeden and McCoy always do well in the preseason. They shit to bed during the regular season.

This is the dumbest thing ever posted on TBB.

Weeden? McCoy?

Hey, let's just give them both the Lombardi, admit we were wrong, and move the franchise to Fargo.

Weeden is a Loser, McCoy is a nice guy, but still a loser.

The world is surely going to end because I agree with Ghoulie on this lol!!!

By the way ..................... is a Dick Mellon something like a cantaloupe??
