No. I don't think he wants us to lose, he's just saying we're going to because he thinks Weeden sucks.

I'm not taking a side, just clarifying what I think he's saying.

we just need to start winning, that will cure all this bs.

You just convinced me. 10-6 at the worst.

At least Durkie's consistent.

Weeden to Richardson connection shows promise by Marty Gitlin, CBSSports.com
RB Trent Richardson got wide open and snagged a pinpoint pass from QB Brandon Weeden. Richardson will be depended upon to catch plenty of passes out of the backfield to prevent defenses from stacking the box against the run.

Rookie WR Benjamin's speed stands out

by Marty Gitlin, CBSSports.com
It was evident immediately at rookie mini-camp that WR Travis Benjamin boasts greater speed than any Browns teammate at that position. It remains to be seen if he can emerge as a desperately needed major contributor to a weak WR corps.

QB Weeden gets right to work on first day of rookie minicamp by Marty Gitlin, CBSSports.com
QB Brandon Weeden took snaps under center early on the first day of rookie minicamp. He must become accustomed to and adept at playing under center in the Browns' west coast offense after working almost exclusively in the shotgun in college.

^^ championship.

Kenny Roda ‏ @ roadmanwknr 2nd drop by Travis Benjamin today, this time on a perfectly thrown deep ball by Weeden

Mary Kay Cabot ‏ @ MaryKayCabot # browns rookie qb Brandon Weeden's great arm evident on first day of rookie camp. Nice outs, good velocity, comfortable under center.

Nate Ulrich ‏ @ NateUlrichABJ This just in: Brandon Weeden can sling it. I've seen only one poor pass from him today. # Browns

Kenny Roda ‏ @ roadmanwknr T-Rich passes the eye test for sure at Browns camp.

Some of these tweets may be dupes so my apologies in advance...

@NateUlrichABJ: All 11 draft picks on field participating in #Browns rookie minicamp today. I count 35 total participants. #NFL

@AdamSchefter: Browns HC Pat Shurmur told reporters DT Phil Taylor tore his pectoral, will need surgery and will be sidelined "more months than weeks."

@WillBurge: Benjamin w his 1st drop on an in-route. Right off his hands. Absolute bullet from Weeden #Browns

@NateUlrichABJ: #Browns have agreed to terms of four-year deal with DL Billy Winn, a sixth-round pick, a league source told the Beacon Journal.

@MaryKayCabot: #browns rookie qb Brandon Weeden's great arm evident on first day of rookie camp. Nice outs, good velocity, comfortable under center.

@WillBurge: Obvious chemistry between Weeden and Cooper in 7 on 7s. Nice out route on the money #Browns

Weeden to Richardson connection shows promise
by Marty Gitlin

RB Trent Richardson got wide open and snagged a pinpoint pass from QB Brandon Weeden. Richardson will be depended upon to catch plenty of passes out of the backfield to prevent defenses from stacking the box against the run.


@RuiterWrongFAN: Weeden already showing strong arm and velocity - especially on sideline outs #Browns

@NateUlrichABJ: Spotted another player, so 36 now accounted for at #Browns rookie minicamp. Shurmur expected 37 & Ohio State LB Andrew Sweat missing.

@NateUlrichABJ: This just in: Brandon Weeden can sling it. I've seen only one poor pass from him today. #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: Trent Richardson quick feet and looking good coming out of backfield catching balls

@RuiterWrongFAN: As Shurmur alluded to yesterday coaches taking time and explaining drills as they occur

@RuiterWrongFAN: Weeden very accurate in skeleton work so far #impressive

@NateUlrichABJ: #Browns 6th-round pick Emmanuel Acho lined up at middle linebacker during 7-on-7 drill. 4th-rd pick James-Michael Johnson at outside LB.

@daverichard: Early reports on Brandon Weeden from Browns camp are overwhelmingly positive. Been a while since they've had a good QB there, eh?

@NateUlrichABJ: #Browns 7th-round pick Brad Smelley has lined up at FB most of the time today, but he also has been used as a TE.

@WillBurge: Pat Shurmur taking a few moments to teach Weeden some footwork and placement from under center #Browns

@WillBurge: Benjamin with a drop on a beautiful deep throw down the sideline from Weeden #Browns

@TonyGrossi: In team drills Billy Winn lines up in Phil Taylor's spot. John Hughes is in Ahryba Rubin's place. #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: Minor bobble on snap exchange w/ Weeden before handing off to Richardson - didn't affect rhythm of play one bit

@RuiterWrongFAN: Shurmur and coaching staff very hands on teaching technique and footwork

@NateUlrichABJ: In 11-on-11, 4th-round pick James-Michael Johnson at WLB. #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: That's it for practice 1 - awaiting Shurmur, Weeden, Richardson and Hughes at podium

@RuiterWrongFAN: Weeden absolutely passed the eye test after getting to see him throw live for first time

@MaryKayCabot: #browns prez holmgren said at luncheon today of phil taylor's torn pec: "I think there's a chance he can come back and play"'this season.

@WillBurge: Practice 1 is over and the team will go in for meetings and come back out for practice 2 at 3 o clock #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: Shurmur thought Weeden performed well today and as expected like he'd already seen on film

@RuiterWrongFAN: Shurmur on Taylor - I don't want to cancel him out for the year

@WillBurge: Pat Shurmur says they have not talked about Plaxico Burress #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: Richardson says running over RBs coach Gary Brown still a fun joke bit also appreciates/respects him as a coach

@RuiterWrongFAN: Weeden says he actually prefers being under center - see D better and get ball faster and very comfortable

@WillBurge: Brandon Weeden said he just got in yesterday so he has not talked to Colt yet. #Browns

@RuiterWrongFAN: Weeden said he met Seneca yet to talk to McCoy; understands he has to earn job and they are all competing for the job

@WillBurge: Brandon Weeden on Josh Cooper "I liked throwing the ball to him just as much as I liked to throw to Justin Blackmon" #Browns

@NateUlrichABJ: #Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden: "I obviously hope I'm the guy & I'm gonna do everything in my power to be the guy."




@WillBurge: Weeden to #Browns fans: Were going to win games. Before I'm done I want to win a Super Bowl

The only UDFA who no showed for rookie camp was Andrew Sweat.

Weeden is the next Kosar. But more COA like with the fact he's a ginger.

Adam Caplan seems to think that Weeden will be more like Matt Schaub.

I just wanted to point out that COA is a ginger. I think he will be the next peyton manning.

I'd be happy with Matt Schaub numbers.

lol. You know nothing. but I lol'd.

I know they are not in pads but when was the last time we heard a Browns QB looked "impressive" in any type of camp? DA? No. Quinn? No. Frye? No. McCoy? No. All were inaccurate, erratic, etc....
