Those "professionals" make plenty of mistakes ALL THE TIME. im not saying im a professional but I certainly could see Weeden was not going to be very good..and guess what, I was right. You and the "professionals" were wrong BR.

It's almost as if our scouting department had never been to a football game.

These numbers represent either the first or second year of several NFL quarterbacks. Brandon Weeden is included in them... What do you notice? Weeden's numbers are in bold.
These are Weeden's numbers from his first season being compared to the numbers of Drew Brees (A), Troy Aikman (B), Brett Favre (D), and John Elway (E).
I am not saying that Weeden is/will be a Hall of Famer, I'm simply saying that is ignorant and foolish to solely judge a player based on their first or second season. A truly elite NFL QB is one that continues to progress, recognizes flaws in his game, and puts in the time and work to make those flaws become a strength.
The verdict is still out on Weeden. He is just entering his second season, and I look forward to seeing what he can do in a vertical offense with a bright, offensive minded coach and an established, successful offensive coordinator. He may or may not become a legitimate NFL starter, but there is certainly no way that anyone can know that from his rookie season, regardless of whether or not he is 30.
