The Cleveland Browns held family night this past Wednesday at the Browns Stadium, it was a great time by all. There were all kinds of reporters attending this free to the public practice session, many of them say Colt McCoy clearly is a much improved quarterback this season and he out shined the Browns named starter Brandon Weeden. While Weeden did impress some of the fans these same reporters stated Brandon Weeden looked to have problems and threw a few interceptions. The question is why rush Weeden into the war? If the guy isn’t ready to compete on the N.F.L. level and Colt McCoy really is as much improved as these guys are saying why won’t Browns head Coach Pat Shurmur give Colt McCoy a shot?
Shurmur may be using Colt McCoy as an excuse for his poor season as a rookie head coach. The Browns want to be an improved team this year, if Weeden goes into competition when the season starts and continues to throw interceptions it isn’t going to help the Browns win. Pat Shurmur obviously ...

I thought Brandon [Weeden] did a good job. It looked like the game was slow for him. He was out there and he executed pretty well. I think he would want that one back on the interception. It was in tight coverage. The ball was a pretty good ball and we’ve got to make that play. I think for the most part, he executed in a way that I thought he would. Now there are other things we...

The Browns managed to beat the Detroit Lion 19-17, it wasn’t because of the job Browns 28-year-old rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden did. Pure and simple to sum up Weeden in a word, He Sucked, yes Brandon Weeden looked bad and he Sucked. For the Cleveland Browns and Pat Shurmur to even consider making Weeden the starting Quarterback in Cleveland I would suggest the NFL drug test...

During the regular season, the mantra is: A win is a win is a win.
During the preseason, the mantra is: It’s just preseason.
While the Browns may have won their first exhibition game of the year on the field, what Browns fans were subjected to in the first half can not be described in any positive terms. The team looked sloppy and three front line players went down with injuries...

The inexperience of the Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur really shows with his decision to prematurely name Brandon Weeden the Browns starting quarterback last week. Even Bernie Kosar didn’t start in the NFL until game 8 of his rookie season. Then Kosar had a guy to help mentor him on the side lines by the name of Gary Damielson. People can’t relate what it takes to...

It showed during the Browns 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions in the preseason opener for both teams Friday night at Ford Field. Weeden, whom coach Pat Shurmur named the Browns starting quarterback on Monday, committed two turnovers in three series. He completed...

With Brandon Weeden and Matt Flynn being named the starting quarterbacks by the Browns and Seahawks the past couple of days before even a single preseason snap, one has to wonder what the future holds for the previous starters of those two franchises.
For Tarvaris Jackson, it should come as no surprise. He played extremely poor in 2011 and the team signed Matt Flynn to a lucrative...

Browns' starters unimpressive in first game
DETROIT -- Winning provides an amazing dynamic, even in a preseason opener significant only because it's the Great Lakes Classic.
The Cleveland Browns seemed nearly giddy following their 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions (Bring home the barge!). This was a win built on the strength of the backups scoring in the second half and a Jeff Wolfert field goal with 33 seconds left.

The Browns faced the Lions in the GLC and the first quarter was certain to be the most interesting as Brandon Weeden and company would take most of their reps before departing. Here’s how it went.
Brandon Weeden had a mixed first drive. He threw the ball to the ground a couple times and eventually fumbled the ball away. Not before he threw a pass to Mohamed Massaquoi for a reception...
