Brandon Weeden... From Someone Who Watched Him Play For 3 Year At Osu
-
There has only been a few, a handful of players I've just loved watching so much at OSU I root for their NFL teams.... my first was Thurman Thomas, which I'll always be a Bills fan at heart. Then was Barry Sanders, but I couldn't really get into rooting for the Lions. Now it's Justin Blackmon at Jacksonville but my favorite of them all? (and this is coming from someone that has watched OSU football for 30+ years)... Brandon Weeden.
He is a once "ever 50 years" type QB in college and I have never in my life seen a quarterback as special as Weeden. Not ever. Not Mike Gundy, not Zac Robinson, not Rusty Hildger, etc, etc.
He was a coach on the football field and had the smarts and the arm to do WHATEVER he wanted including calling his own plays on the field. The first time I saw him play was when I was in the stands at Boone Pickens Stadium on a Thursday Night vs Colorado. Our backup quarterback who was starting in place of a hurt Zac Robinson (now with the Pats?) went 0-for-9 and we were down like 24-3 at the half. The 2nd half the put in Brandon and we go from a horrible team to a freaking bad-ass team with his arm. That game was his first touchdown pass to Justin Blackmon, back corner of the endzone. An amazing pass. We go on to win, Brandon throws for 250+ yards in the 2nd half alone. From then on, with a 70% healthy Robinson, I was rooting for Weeden to play out the season. We lost the Cotton Bowl that year and I have NO DOUBT we would have won with BW starting.
The next year Brandon had the helm and Justin has his breaking year. I've never seen anything like it. He controlled every part of the game, offense... he inspired the defense. He was freaking amazing. Then this past season? I have no doubt OSU should have been playing LSU for the championship and no doubt in my heart, OSU would have won.
I love Blackmon, he's a great kid and his sister goes to school with my oldest daughter. I know their family well... but I'll be rooting 100% for Brandon.
You guys got a leader, a gun slinger the likes of Brett Farve. A pure winner. 33 wins in 3 years as a starter! He's again, just a winner.
Bad points? Not many, he gets to hurry his passes when being pushed out of the pocket. I'm sure that will be a key the coaches focus on and he played his entire career in the shotgun after hurting his thumb, but if you watched the Senior Bowl, he played well under center. Just going to take a little time.
But you guys got a bad ass QB. Next to Luck (who Weeden Beat on the field, and in the stat line) he's the best QB in that draft... better than RG3 (who he ripped up and down the field... score was like 66-3 at one point?)... he beat Tannehill up and down the field and beat Landry Jones (score was 44-3 with 30 seconds to play in the 4th) up and down the field. No QB can say they beat and had better numbers than Luck, RG3, Tannehill and Jones... in one season.
Congrats Brown Fans... you got a winner. Now just go WIN! GO BROWNS!!!!!! GO BRANDON!!!!!

Thanks for the post. In Walrus I Trust.

Thanks for the enthusiastic post...
You'll find that it's hard for most Browns fans to get too excited about another new QB, but I'm sure I speak for ALL of us when I say that I HOPE you're right about him.
Personally, he's the first QB we drafted since Tim Couch that looks like a franchise guy. Hopefully, his age is more of a benefit than a weakness, and hopefully our WRs can catch the damn ball.
Go Browns!! Go Weeden!!

^+1. Yes, Browns fans have had too many qb busts (Quinn), semi busts (Couch), one year wonders (Anderson), and flat-out stinkers since '99 to get our hopes up too soon.
It does seem Weeden has what it takes and the only minus is his age. We'll soon see. Thanks for the input, TS.

Enough about his age. He's still young. How does he compare to other quarterbacks? He's 6 years younger than Tom Brady; the same age as Aaron Rodgers; 5 years younger than Drew Brees; 3 years younger than Eli Manning and 4 years younger than Tony Romo. Those were last years top five. Only 2 of the next 5 are younger (one of those by only 1 year). This guy still has a great shelf life and we get to skip those typically sucky years of the mid twenties.
You posters act like he's 41.
Brandon's Da Man!!!!

ok, this is not bashing weeden but pointing out your argument makes no sense.
he's the same age as aaron rodgers who sat for 3 years and has played for 3. how does that relate to a 28 yr. old rookie out of college who hasn't taken a snap in a nfl game?
brees brady and rodgers have all won the superbowl. weeden hasn't taken a snap in a nfl game.
hell i'm 22 years older than weeden but we've got to have something in common, right?? yep, neither one of us has taken a snap in a nfl game.

Hope you're right, I really do.
There's no way ya'll beat lsu(x) though. Sec > everyone else. Just ask osu (sorry, have to stir the pot a bit).
Go browns, and go weeden. Sure as hell helps to have trich to egg along weeden's success.

You are really 50? By only reading your usual posts I was lead to believe that you were about 18
-
you da big puss, or da big muddafuk?
i'll forever be eighteen. yep grew up in the age of 50 cent a gallon gasoline and great music. can't say the same for this generation of punks and pussies.

There's plenty of good tunes today. Just ain't on the radio. You gotta search for it.

Gas had to be 50 cents a gallon cause the cars your generation made were so high tech they only got 5 miles a gallon.
Nothing beats the stench of jealousy and bitterness you old folk give off because you know we still have our whole lives ahead of us where as you will be knocking on deaths door in the next 10 to 20 years.
I bet your idea of great music is either the BeeGees or Boy George. Tell us, were you wearing platform shoes in the 70's or were you one of those long hair having rock homos whos favorite band wore more makeup then a 16 year old school girl? Either way I got $50 bucks that says you changed your style of music and clothes each decade up until you became old.

the only speedy i know of was the cartton mexican mouse or a guy i knew that used to sell white cross speed.
yeah seeing pink floyd animals at the world series of rock at municipal stadium in '77 must be your idea of the bee gees. then the next year lineup was utopia, the cars first tour, bob welch and fleetwood mac. i guess that's boy george to you.
no one is bitter about being old. why you had to respond to a post that was a retort from another poster is beyond me. my statement about being punks and pussies is true though. either you get bullied and hang yourself, are gay and shove it in people's faces or you sit in your mom's basement playing playstation all year long while wasting away like a dried up sunflower.
i'm still going to concerts, still wearing shorts boots and tshirts.
i guess that must be so lame compared to your justin beiber hair cuts, your auto-tune house music vocals, lip-synced choreographed lady gaga'concerts' and the ghetto wear you pay ridiculous amounts of money for.
jsut get off my ass. i don't think i've ever directed anything at you before but if you wanna go, let's go.
there's a big difference between a strong old man and a strong young man. i guess your uncle joe never slapped you upside your head like he should have. you might learn when to hold your tongue and respect someone that has been around a little longer than you have.

es spend outside in the fresh air than in the house like kids now who spend it in front of game boxes in the house.

nothing beats the ignorance and disrespect constantly displayed by you kids, who think youve actually done something more than existing as a parasite attached to your parents past age 25. each generation gets less intelligent, more cocky, and less capable of dealing with life and tough decisions. ya sit around and waste your life away wearing out your thumbs behind a TV screen all the while thinking youre badass for being good at a fucking game. meanwhile, kids overseas are studying their asses off and taking all the jobs youre too fucking stupid to apply for.
bitterness? no....i have a feeling youre just mistaking that for disappointment.

I'll get this back on topic.
Brandon Weeden should be awesome. And he's finally getting first team reps. Only took like 2 weeks. Not too shabby

The point is he is not that old.. If we get 6-8 years out of Weeden and he is a great QB then this was an awesome pick (and we will get 6-8 years, and this will be an awesome pick)
You're posts are so negative and cynical for 22 years old.. life is good man

i like the post also. although it reminds me of some guy pimping Jake Delhomo a few years ago, he guaranteed us jake was the bomb lol.
