    Brandon Weeden is among the NFL leaders in passing thus far, having a great day in a Cowboys uniform, posting a 111.oo QB rating, completing 13 outta 17 for 107 yards, with one TD, and zero INT's.

    All yinz here who had such a raging hardon for him should check out his highlight reel from that game.

    He looks great.

    Colt McCoy posted the same good numbers, completing 8 outta 9 for 102 yards, one TD, and no INT's for a 150.oo QB rating.

    Jason Campbell had an erratic outing, completing 8 passes, two of them for TD's and two for INT's, leading to a QB rating of 55.4.

    Thad Lewis completed 10 out of 16 for 87 yards, no TD and one INT. He did not look that good and might get cut if BUF keeps only 2 QB's.

    Check back later as more former Browns starters show that they can still play in the NFL.

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

    Discussions as such are not new for me.

    Please forgive me, in that I look at these games from the perspective of a coach, rather than that of a fan.

    I love the preseason, in that we get to see guys play that we otherwise rarely see.

    I also love the human interest perspective of guys fighting for a job and a very good job at that.

    The preseason should be very special to Browns fans coz yinz can see so many former Browns startng QB's.

    We have thus far seen:

    Weeded

    McCoy

    Campbell

    Lewis

    Stay tuned for:

    Luke McCown

    Bruce Gradkowski

    Derek Anderson

    Seneca Wallace? (last I checked he was waiting for his phone to ring)

    Yeah Weeden played great in preseason last year too. How'd that turn out?

    If you looked at them as a coach, you'd see that these guys are playing against second and third stringers and wouldn't put as much stock in their performances as you seem to be doing thus far.

    If you were looking as a coach, you'd realize that the talent divide between offense and defense grows the further down the pecking order you get.

    If you were looking at them as a coach, you'd realize that those four quarterbacks you mentioned have a combined 23 seasons of NFL experience and are playing against guys vying to make a starting roster.

    If you were looking at these games as a coach, you'd realize that, for experienced NFL vets, preseason speed, team organization and individual player discipline is about 75% of what you'll see on Sundays in the regular season.

    But you're not looking at them as a coach, you're looking at them as a fan of a rival team pretending to be a coach.

    So, you can have your preseason "I told you so". Because when the regular season starts, these QB's are going to go back to doing what all former Browns QB's do...riding the bench.

    Not sure why you're getting flak for an objective outlook on previous browns. To everyone who's being an asshole, nothing OP said implies that they're going to succeed in the regular season. I'm not surprised that Weeden and McCoy looked good against second stringers, they're about at the middle of the bell curve for backup QBs.

    Homey don't play dat game.

    I'm not into the whole, "I told you so thing."

    Yeh, OK, when I saw Weeden in college, I thought that he was a decent college grade QB, unlikely to be NFL starter quality.

    I guess I was right about that one, which is quite notable coz I'm usually wrong about everything.

    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?

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