Exactly and he can sit behind weedon next year. If weedon sucks next year too then we can plug jones in.

Landry Jones sucked in college, so I think its safe to assume he'd suck in the Pros too.

I am a big supporter of the Browns bringing in another QB to push Weeden. Lets face it, no matter how shitty he has looked this year, he isnt getting benched for Colt McCoy, because they already know what McCoy can do. He needs somebody to push and compete with him. You cant just rely on one QB. Seattle brought in 2 this year and picked their best. No job should be safe of guaranteed, which Weeden's was this year. Put pressure on him to get better. Browns probably have the worst tandem of QBs in the league.

ESPN Radio is mostly Tony Grossi. I'll wait for the presser.

You know the old saying, if you have two qbs you don't have one!

Jets, Bills, KC, Jags have worse QB tandems IMO. I'd also rather have WeedEn than Ponder.

Yeah I get what you are saying. You also know the old saying that competition breeds success. Just saying there should be a serviceable guy back there so you can tell Weeden "hey if you suck today, we are going to bench you".


Whatever happened to BR? S&L piss him off again?

No clue on BR, he still posts on Yappi. I asked him on FB twice now and he's ignored me.

A few years back, Colin also confirmed on the radio that Kobe had been traded.

I saw him post in the serious business forum a less than a week ago. No idea why he isn't posting here.

He was traded? Dallas? Then traded back to LA.

I'm very much on the fence about Weeden. I saw his stats next to Luck's today though. It is interesting.....

Andrew Luck: 54.6 comp %, 3,978yds 20TD 18INT & 75.5 rating
Brandon Weeden: 57.2 comp % 3,281yds 14TD 17INT & 72.4 rating

If you've seen both play there is no comparison. Luck is much much better.

The big difference to me is that weeden has all day to throw while luck isn't protected especially well. The next biggest difference is in how clutch luck has been.

Not sold on Peterson. The talking heads say his "upright running style" won't work in the NFL.

Yeah, I just don't think JB is as good as everyone else says he is.

I think I'd rather have Fitzpatrick than Weeden, would also long term add Oak to the list. I don't think he is that far behind Locker & Tannehill.

I woke up with morning and the Browns were in last place and so were the Cavs. Guess the world didn’t end last night.
