I never understood why the Cleveland Browns drafted Brandon Weeden
with the 22nd pick in the 2012 NFL draft until now. Weeden is a guy who
can move the team, he came out throwing tonight and completed 3 of 3
passes to move the Browns into scoring position. Then he couldn't get
the Browns into the end-zone, he fits right into what the Cleveland
Browns coaching staff does in Cleveland. Why in the name of GOD would
the Browns watch a guy throw the ball and get the Browns into the red
zone and then call plays that take away the pass? Then when the Browns
are forced to pass and the defense knows the Browns are forced to pass
they call a pass play. The Cleveland Browns coaching staff has no
imagination, none at all. They could see Weeden can throw a pass and get
the Browns moving, then when they get into the red zone the team
switches what they are doing.
The Browns had no business drafting a
guy lie Brandon Weeden, they need to build an offensive line to give a
pocket passer like Brandon Weeden time to set up and throw a pass. You
have to have a quarterback that can protect the football when the
pressure is facing you. Weeden has always been labeled as a guy who
cracked under the pressure, we saw it first hand tonight. Weeden
fumbled the ball twice when he was faced with pressure. He has now idea
what to do when he gets into trouble.
People think I hate Brandon
Weeden, trust me when I tell you this, I don't dislike Weeden. The
Browns front office messed up big time when they took Weeden with the
22nd pick and led people on thinking this guy was going to be the answer
to the Cleveland Browns problems. The Cleveland Browns know what they
had for an offensive line. They knew the line needs work, yet they go
and draft a guy who cannot protect himself or the football when he is
facing pressure. That is what I don't like. The Cleveland Browns
management couldn't diagnose the problem with the team. We have guys
sitting in the front office making millions of dollars a year and they
couldn't see Colt McCoy wasn't the problem with Browns football.
Listen
people, you saw it first hand tonight. It wouldn't matter who the
quarterback of the Cleveland Browns was, if the offensive line can't
protect him you have nothing. Until the Cleveland Browns can fix the
problems with their offensive line that is supposed to protect their
quarterback, the team will not succeed. Is this all Brandon Weeden's
fault? Absolutely not, just like last season wasn't all Colt McCoy's
fault.
These guys need some help. Brandon Weeden isn't the guy who
is going to deliver the Cleveland Browns to the promise land. Unless
the Cleveland Browns can figure out a way to protect their quarterback,
Brandon Weeden will be lucky to make it through the 2012 season. The
Browns may as well keep Colt McCoy in there as the starter, at least he
can run for positive yardage. Weeden cannot do that....
Even Ray
Charles could see what the problems with the Cleveland Browns was, to
bad the people who make millions to do it couldn't. Now they have
another guy in Brandon Weeden they can blame it on this season. Help me
out here, what is he the 17th starting quarterback in the last 13
years...... It is just as much Shurmurs fault for what happened tonight
against the Eagles as it was Weeden's fault. Brandon Weeden turned over
the ball but it was Shumur who was calling crap plays after Weeden came
out firing....
