  • ... I always thought that it was odd that we would draft a guy that throws a harder ball when our receivers already had problems holding onto the ball. My money is on Colt McCoy taking the starting job very soon. It is only OBVIOUS who is better!

  • presence, mobility, moxie, accuracy, awareness and vision.

    All of these are required to throw a pass in the NFL. Weeden's eyes were like saucers out there on Friday Night. He needs time... Who better for right here and now, this year to take our team to the Playoffs than Colt McCoooy!!!!!

    While I applaud your effort, McCoy still plays scared. It's obvious by watching him break from the pocket too early. They both were guilty of staring the receivers down, difference is McCoy isn't a rookie anymore. I liked Weedens ability to get the ball where they can catch and YAC it. Yes he overcompensated it by trying to over anticipate the routes. It's his first PRESEASON game after all. I'd rather our QB be OVER confident than scared. That translates into passes downfield where the receiver doesn't have to jump up backwards and break his tailbone in the process. Weeden even said he tried to play faster to try and compensate for his inexperience. Not to mention the FO already stands behind him fully.

  • I hope Weeden makes the hall of fame. Not even because I'm a Browns fan, but just so PG will have to eat all of his Colt McCoy being great nonsense.

    you mean the soon to be gone front office?

    nobody's job is safe on this team even our rookie QB. listen i believe in continuity blah blah blah but i never believed in holmgren, especially when it was clear he fired mangini to hire a friends kid.

    if this team lays another egg like last year expect a lot of changes, just not in the FO.

    I agree, though I could see some continuity because I believe both Childress and Juron will be candidates for the head coaching job.

    If we only win 4 games, the decision is easy. Win 6 and it will give some pause for thought, but they probably go. 7 wins is the magic number for Homie and crew.

    With this Haslam guy I don't think even 7-9 will cut the cake when considering who to boot outta the FO.

    This is pathetic...

  • presence - not even close. weedz stood in the pocket and fired the ball. colt took off running several times. to this day, ive never observed colt stand in the pocket and deliver, he often bails way to early...which doesn't make the OL job any easier.

    mobility - check. kids got great wheels....but uses them way too often.

    moxie - huh? this is debatable...both on merit and relevance.

    accuracy - come on....his short range accuracy is average, long range is non-existent. he is certainly no better than brandon in this regard.

    awareness - not so good. as stated, he moves from the pocket when ghosts get close. if anything, i think his awareness is a hindrance.

    vision - is terrible. utterly...terrible. he doesn't even look at 2/3 of the field.

    look....colt should look serviceable at this point....he's got 20+ games started under his belt, and considerably more knowledge of the offense. thats his only advantage over weeden. however, ive seen his fools gold last year in the preseason. when the games counted, it didn't look so good.

    colt was given all last year and didn't look so good. why would it make sense to surmise that the coaches will get the jitters and pull weeden to insert colt? its weedens year, whether he looks like an all-pro or a bust.

    Hell, my penis has mobility, accuracy (never misses the toilet), awareness and moxie, plenty of moxie ... but it can't play QB for us because, just like Colt McCoy ... it doesn't have an arm.

    sorry about that. mine looks like a baby's arm holding an apple.

    don't think it could hold a football though.

    I understand Sipe was NFL mvp once but I'm not sure why he's talked about so reverently. It was Bernie Kosar who engineered the Browns' best run in my lifetime. I will always put kosar ahead of Sipe.
