Browns CEO Joe Banner told Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer that he and owner Jimmy Haslam III will use the final seven games to decide if rookie Brandon Weeden is the Browns' quarterback of the future. Banner told Cabot the team will rely on football personnel inside the building to help make that decision.
Despite a constant stream of doomsday talk in Cleveland, Banner said he's open to retaining Pat Shurmur as coach and Tom Heckert as general manager. Banner worked with both as members of the Philadelphia Eagles and praised their talents. Banner said he's more concerned with building a quality staff than this year's win-loss record.
"We're looking for leadership, attention to detail, character, those kinds of things," Banner said. Source: NFL.com Attached Thumbnails
