And it didn't happen, it's just my prediction for the Weeden era. Obviously I hope i'm wrong and he's the next Peyton Manning...just don't have much confidence in me being wrong here.

It looks like the Browns are modeling their team off of what the Texans have done. Great defense, great line, great running game (both of their RBs do great), and set up the long pass with the play action. Schaub isn't a "great" QB imo. He is good though, and the line/running game makes him look a lot better imo. The Texans were the best team in the AFC last year imo, until Schaub went down, and they still were very competitive with their 3rd string rookie QB. I am hoping at the very least Weeden can provide what Schaub has done for the Texans, that's of course assuming the Browns line and running game is great, which I think it very well can be.

Footwedge;1240551 wrote:Well stated. Even TJ Yates moved that team...and he has nowhere near the natural ability of Weedon. You need talent to move the ball in the NFL. You also need offensive geniuses to open up holes in the secondary. Barring injuries, the Browns have both.

We have already been slugged in the mouth losing GoCong and for a half season, Taylor. We need to stay healthy.

like_that;1240555 wrote:Well, I hope he has more upside than that, but if he contributes as well as Schaub has for the Texans, I don't think we will be disappointed. The only elite QB in the division (and I hate giving the POS scumbag credit) is Rapistberger.

Everyone knew it was going to be NE, Pittsburgh, or Baltimore.

wes_mantooth;1240608 wrote:I don't agree with that at all.

I think with Shaub they are the most well rounded team in football. Great running game, good passing game and a very good defense.

SportsAndLady;1240611 wrote:Meh

They were good no doubt, but not great...and I had Foster on my fantasy team so I loved them. Never thought they'd come out of the AFC over the other 3 teams though.

BR1986FB;1240636 wrote:Agree 100%. Until they established that 1-2 punch at RB their offense was Schaub/Andre Johnson. Now, with the running game, a helluva defense AND the Schaub/Johnson combo, they are the most well rounded team in football. Had Schaub not been injured, I'm confident they would've been the AFC rep in this last Super Bowl.
