Browns Will Start Thaddeus Lewis At QB In Week 17

Found December 28, 2012 on NFL Trade Rumors: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Thaddeus Lewis,  Brandon Weeden,  Colt McCoy,  Josh Johnson,  Trent Richardson
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Pittsburgh Steelers
The Cleveland Browns have announced that QB Thaddeus Lewis will get the start against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Cleveland was obviously hoping that Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy would be able to play in the season finale, but they wound up missing practice again on Friday and it became pretty clear that they wouldn’t be available this weekend. The Browns recently signed Josh Johnson who will serve as the team’s backup quarterback on Sunday. Trent Richardson is also expected to miss Week 17′s game, so this is shaping up to be a very good matchup for the Steelers. It’s just too bad they’re already out of contention for the postseason. The post Browns Will Start Thaddeus Lewis At QB In Week 17 appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Is The Colt McCoy Shoulder Injury A Farce Manufactured By Shurmur?

Via Cleveland Sports 360  |  December 29, 2012
Last week when the Cleveland Browns put McCoy into the game to replace the injured Weeden, the team was able to move the ball down the field and finally score a touchdown, something they haven’t done in almost 3 quarters of play with Weeden leading the Browns.

The Cleveland Browns travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in what could very well be Pat Shurmur’s last game as the Cleveland Browns head Coach, we all hope.

Browns vs. Steelers Reader’s Survey

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  December 27, 2012
It’s going to be the toughest game to predict all year in all likelihood. The Browns and Steelers don’t have anything to play for but pride and paychecks. The teams are a mystery right now at least on the Browns’ side of the equation as Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson and even Colt McCoy are questionable at best and out in all probability. It could be the last game as a member...

So who is the backup for the backup? As Scott told us today, Thad Lewis, recently called up from the practice squad, got the first team reps today in Berea. That’s right. Not Brandon Weeden with a bum shoulder. Not Colt McCoy, also with a bum shoulder. Thaddeus Lewis. Just a reminder, Lewis is a 25-year-old from Duke with a much-heralded arm and some decent athletic ability. He’s...

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 17 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  December 30, 2012
Cleveland Browns (5-10) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) Aside from this being a divisional matchup, this is a completely meaningless game for these two teams. Both are out of the playoffs. I have a rule against making significant plays on completely meaningless games. If the teams might not care about a game, I shouldn’t either. There’s just no way to predict what kind of effort...
