Browns coach Pat Shurmur gave quarterback Brandon Weeden a vote of confidence today heading into the bye week. "I do believe in him,'' said Shurmur. "He is our guy. It's not going to be perfect all the time.'' He acknowledged, "we have to do better. We have to win games.'' Shurmur said he's not worried about Weeden's confidence despite the fact he's tumbled to second-last in the NFL with a 67.9 rating. Shurmur also said Weeden takes responsibility for his mistakes in the meeting room and is quick to admit he "screwed the thing up.'' Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer Attached Thumbnails
