The worst possible thing just happened to Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden. Jimmy Haslam III and Joe Banner named Michael Lombardi the teams new General Manager. First on Lombardi's plate is the evaluation of Weeden. The last Cleveland quarterback that Lombardi evaluated was Bernie Kosar. DO you remember what the results of that evaluation were? Lombardi and Bill Belichick came out and said Kosar who won in Cleveland was suffering from what they termed diminishing skills. Are you kidding me? That led to the benching of Bernie Kosar and started an up-roar against then Browns head coach Belichick. If that is what came out of Lombari's evaluation of the great Bernie Kosar what can we expect from his evaluation of Brandon Weeden?
Weeden led the Browns to 5 wins and 10 losses during his rookie season. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns and continued to show he doesn't have good decision making qualities to be an elite NFL Q.B.. Weeden folds under pressure and he can't complete the easy pass play with regularity. Weeden doesn't have the accuracy that the former Browns front office said he had.
Weeden's lack of mobility also presents a problem in today's NFL.
The guy has 2 left feet when it comes to running. He finished the 2012 with a 26.1 T.B.R.. How can Lombardi suggest keeping a guy who played this poorly when he is the guy behind the benching of Kosar? Nothing good can possibly come out of Lombardi's evaluation of Weeden. The Browns front office doesn't have the same respect for Weeden that the former front office had.
Brandon Weeden's days as the Browns starting quarterback could be over before the 2013 season gets underway. Lombardi has already made statements in National T.V. that he didn't think Weeden fits what the Browns want to do. With that being said is it possible to dump Weeden and get something they could use in the up-coming draft to improve the teams defense?
It won't take long for Lombardi's evaluation of Weeden to be known. He already has a predetermined notion that Weeden is not right for the Cleveland Browns. It will nonetheless be interesting to hear what he has to say now that he is the Browns General Manager.
How do you think this is going to turn out for Brandon Weeden? Please let us know what you think, leave your comments below.....
