It seems to be an offense suited to him. Absent injury I suspect he plays, and fairly well thrives the entire year.

How good the team will be is dependent on a lot more than how good Weeden will be.

He will be a big cog but not everything in the game of football is reliant on the QB.

Evidently the Raiders did not see much juice left in a QB who couldn't outplay a washed up Donovan McNabb or got benched by the likes of Brad Gradkowski.

I'm not a big Weeden fan but people need to be fair. Look at the history of the NFl and you see most rookie QBs struggling and many of the good ones then had break out seasons in years 2 and 3 in the NFl. Could happen with Weeden. I think he'll be better in 2013, but I don't see him being a pro bowl type QB in the NFl, at least his first few eyars in the league, and by the time he really gets comfortable he may be too old to play at his peak level.

Weeden would have really been helped this coming season with a decent, experienced TE to throw to. Browns did him a great disservice in failing to sign a quality FA tight end, or at least drafting a quality TE talent. The Browns' ex-USC TE is not the answer.

The only potential starter other than Weeds is Hoyer.

really? I'd see Hoyer playing over Campbell (little stretch) did you see him play for Washington? don't let numbers fool you (they do sometimes lie)

The Jason Campbell who played for the Redskins no longer exists -- there is a much better version in his place. Campbell was outstading for the Raiders until he got hurt.

Re Browns chances, the coaching staff is much better but the opportunities this team had in the draft to really address weaknesses and depth issues weren't taken advantage of. Browns should have made that Rams deal. All the oher three teams in the division had much better off seasons -- the draft and FA -- and even though the rowns coaching staff is better, that's offset by the fact that the other divison foes added more talent this off-season.

As I said: you know it's going to happen -- new Steelers Safety Shamarko Thomas (courtesy of the Browns trade) is going to intercept a Weeden pass late in a Steelers-Browns game this coming season and take it to the house to win the game.
