Exactly. You want FRANCHISE type players that early. Not a guy you HOPE can come on a provide us with a couple of extra worthless wins because you think that's improvement.

I don't understand why you can't comprehend that. I'd much rather watch McCoy on a ****ty offense for another seasons than watch us waste a pick on a 29 y/o QB and watch what will also be a ****ty offense. You are getting way too infatuated with his college stats. If college stats were any indicator than Danny Weurfel, Jason White, Matt Leinart, Akilli Smith, Chris Weinke, that Hawaii QB, etc would have been stars in the NFL.

I'd much rather take Kellen Moore in the later rounds than Tannefail or Weeden in the earlier rounds. At least with Moore if he sucks we can put him on the bench and he can learn from watching. WTF do we do with Weeden if he turns out to suck ass? Put our 29 year old QB on the bench so he can watch for a few years? LMAO.
well thats where we differ. i think he is going to be a good qb. thats why im sticking up for him. and i only brought up his college stats because hoops compared weeden to DA which was just idiotic.

and it wouldn't be different from any other qb we have drafted and played since 99 cut him.

That logic sucks too. "Oh we drafted some shitty QBs in the past, so what the fuck is another one if he turns out to suck ass?"

The first three picks need to be a RB/WR/RT/OLB

It's as simple as that. Whatever they want to get after that go right ahead. But those needs are a lot more glaring than a 29 year old college qb being draft top 40 lol

They have more of a chance of being successful than Weeden and Tannehill thats for sure. I still wouldn't have given up 3 first rd picks for RG3 though mainly for that reason. The point of the draft is to make the most educated guesses with your picks, not go into it with a "what the hell, why not" crap shoot approach.

Here's some news for you bro, when comparing two QB's for the NFL, it's not about college stats. It's about what they bring both physically and mentally.

Weeden and DA are equal size and I referenced that because you keep brining up "big arm". Weeden is 29 and has poor pocket presence and gets rushed under pressure. Those are HUGE negatives. DA also got rushed under pressure.

When a QB panics, mistakes happen. When mistakes happen, you'll be the guy bitching for his 29 year old ass to ride the pine.

Hell, we might as well go grab Tiki Barber too, at least he actually performed in the NFL.

The draft can't come soon enough, or at least some Browns related news needs to come around this week. This talk about Weeden is ridiculous. I can't believe we dedicated this many pages on discussing him smh.

Aren't players allowed to work out at facilities now? Any word on Cleveland guys working hard in Cleveland, or some shit?

You don't draft stop gaps...period. You sign a veteran if you are looking for a stop gap to get you to your future...I.E. Matt Hasselbeck

Bingo. If the Browns wanted a stop gap QB they could've signed Matt Flynn or something.

I can't wait to see you all eat crow on Weeden. I will be the first to admit I was wrong but I think Weeden will make a big impact for a team. I think he will be a better pro QB than RGIII.

Anyone watch the Gruden QB camps? I was impressed with Luck. Not so much with Weeden. I missed RGIII. If Gruden does a good job of showing the "football" smarts in his thirty minute shows I would stay away from Weeden.

Well, as much as I don't want Weeden, I will be fair. Last year he made Cam Newton look like an idiot who doesn't know shit, and last season worked out for Cam.

I thought Weeden looked more like a tard than Cam did last year. But, point taken.

Weeden was like... I just throw it to the hot route. Or he drew up a play where he read the Will LB and threw it down the seam if he was off the WR or handed it off otherwise and they just repeated that play over and over to beat Baylor.

Yeah, with that being said, I also was far from impressed with Weeden.

Also if Steve Smith was not on the Panthers Cam Newton doesn't do what he did last year.

Newton had a plethora of dynamic weapons around him...Steve Smith is one of the better WRs in the NFL when healthy, which he was for the most part last year.

It's not like Newton is this super freak QB who figured out how to not suck in his rookie year...he just was put in a perfect situation (weapons, offense molded around him, defense was terrible which allowed for more offensive possessions, etc.)

We'll see how good he'll be in his 2nd year, when NFL D coordinators have some game tape to look at.
