Weeds getting one more week!

The Browns Board

  • Bottom line is Weeden has mediocre, back-up level talent. The problem is this time in the season all that's available in FA or otherwise are other mediocre, back-up QB's. I know it sounds crazy to say but Weeden gives the Browns the best chance to win right now. Minus that unbelievably stupid play he was having a slightly above-average day and had this team up 10 points. Don't get me wrong, I think he sucks but no one would be better.

  • My guess is they will pull Bobby Hoying out of retirement; essentially the same QB, which will produce the same pathetic losses on the field of play

    They have to at least see what Campbells got. Hopefully he isn't still butthurt from Hoyer getting the call over him.

    When Hoyer was healthy Campbell was a healthy inactive. The limited time he was in he looked like he didn't give a shit. I don't want to make it seem like I'm defending Weeden here but the coaching staff clearly has no confidence in Campbell either.

  • I was trying to tell you all that Colt McCoy would have been a much better option than Weeden. Yes, Weeden has a stronger arm, can throw the ball harder and further, is taller and was a first round draft pick... Bottom line is Colt McCoy is a better QB, he's smarter, he's younger, he's a leader that the team will play for and he can make plays with his legs.

    Colt McCoy is essentially Brian Hoyer.

    Seriously do you really think McCoy would even sign with Cleveland again?!?!?!? Get over it and hang up the Golden cleats you've been rubbing like it's a Genie Lamp. They tried their experiment with Hoyer and it got put back on the shelf. Campbell is the BACKUP to whomever is here starting end of story. Unless Weeds gets hurt expect a steady dose of mediocre football from our QB position until the 1st RD of the 2014 draft next year. At which time I fully expect them to either trade/release Weeden or he will be 3rd option in Cle.

    yeah I agree there must be something going on with Campbell personally that we don't see. I can't imagine any other team in the NFL coming out after that performance saying "we've lost no confidence in our qb". Bullfuckingshit you haven't. Bullmotherfuckingshit. Or just bollocks as the british would say. I lost a little bit of respect for Chud for coming out party line on this one. Just don't talk about it. Don't get infront of camera's and act like everythings just fine we just have to "make some adjustments" or some bullshti like that.

  • God he's starting the rest of the year. Y u boneheads can't get this thru ur heads. We will draft a new qb next April. No more hoyer no more weeden no more Campbell. God I can't wait. Brown's fans are so fickle. NO ONE EVER GETS BENCHED FOR ONE PLAY.

    I think it's the 13 losses ... most of which were winnable .... not the one play, which has everyone pissed.

    I figured they would stick with Weeden. And we all know they are drafting a QB next year

    It's just frustrating ... especially after seeing some real quarterbacking only to have it yanked away.

  • Yea cause we never seen a qb come in and tear it up for a short while just too come back too earth. You guys wanna put hoyer in the HOF go ahead. But WWWAAAAAYYYYYY to small of a sample size to crown anyone or call them a REAL qb. He beat a VERY VERY BAD defense. And he beat the bungles which the browns have had there number for years when u think about how bad the browns have been. And obviously he's an injury risk. First time he takes a ,won't even say shot, a guy falling over him he's done for the year. To much talent in next years draft to go with either one of these TWO SCRUBS.

    I don't think anyone is anointing Hoyer anything. Obviously he has limitations.

    But you could see he was more decisive and knew where he was going with the football, and went through his reads quickly and delivered the ball.

    Weeden is slow, indecisive and makes critical mistakes over and over. That's why people don't like him.

    It was more enjoyable watching a QB that "got it" even if he's not "the answer". He surveyed the field like a pro. I think we all miss that.

    I'm sure these guys will pick a stud next year. Holmgren whiffed bad on the two QBs he drafted. It's getting old ... we are tired of it. We want better play from the position. We realize we will have to wait for that.

    Hoyer may not be the answer but he got this team behind him and was a true leader. That's something Weeden will never do. You really think anyone in that locker room has his back after that softball pitch on 1st and 10 when the Browns still were in the game?

    You honestly can't tell me you didn't see a vast difference between the two QBs either.

    Only in Cleveland does a fan call a QB who actually won some games a scrub.

    Chud is right, Weeds wasn't the only making mistakes and the team as a whole has to play better. I just hope they eventually give up on this guy, unless for some reason Weeds makes that mental jump needed to play at this level.

    True, Z... but it was the play that broke the camel's back for many.

    Been saying for a while that Campbell looks like a shot QB... no confidence... nothing left. And given the career he's had and teams/ coaches he's played for, it's not surprising.

    You act like saying "we're doomed as long as Brandon is our starter" is an option. News flash! It's not an option!

    Also half of this board has been talking about the lack of 2nd half adjustments since the final gun... so there's that...

  • You don't need to watch a quarterback for 10 games to see how he plays. One will do, actually. Three? You pretty much know who he is at that point, whether it's green and confused... or decisive and comfortable playing the position. Hoyer very much looked that latter in three games and the last preseason game. He never looked anything but so it's pretty conclusive.

    Yes, he's limited, as someone else put it. He's short-ish with a medium (but not weak) arm. But he's smart, mobile, reads defenses well, a natural leader, and very accurate (everything Colt McCoy isn't but keeps getting accused of anyway). He can start in this league. I don't know if he's going to get another shot next year (he turns 29) but he might while the rookie figures things out. Maybe until the bye unless he goes all Drew Brees.

    I can't fathom why Weeden would be on anybody's roster. He's neither young nor polished. He's nothing you want.

  • Maybe CLE should invest in some Weed Whacker...

  • Fact is, Brandon could go 24-of-36 for 398 yards and 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a win next week and then throw 21-of-34 for 293 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs in a loss and you will all say he's the worst QB in the NFL, should be strung up and kicked out of the league.

    Mind you, we were only down 7, on their side of the field and it was 1st down with plenty of time remaining when Brandy uncorked that beauty.
