Overthrew a TD early and overthrew a wide open receiver later. The first INT was not his fault. It was a perfectly thrown 10yrd laser to the 3yrd line for a 1st and goal. Right in the receivers hands and right in stride. Tipped for an INT. No points. Ouch.

The 2 INT’s towards benjamin were 3rd down and long plays and the INT’s resulted in 25+ yrds of field change and was just like a punt.

The last INT was terrible. Ball around our 30yrd line with plenty of time. We needed 30yrds to get in Dawson’s range (one of the best kickers in the game) and Weeden tries to get it all in one play.

I cant believe in FEBRUARY I KNEW the season was over with that pick. Thats why I am so angry. Its like, the team got me ready for it that soon, anyone who didnt see this happening with the QB is blind. This happens…every year.

And to top it off. Why cant they just get blown out? So I can stop watching them. Why do they entice me every game? Its like some vortex of unprecedent that surrounds this team. 100+yds in penalties and 5 turnovers from opposing team and you lose?!?! Thats a record right?!?!

Scoring a tenth of a point higher on your QB rating than your Minor League ERA? Incredible!

How do you draft a failed minor league pitcher and bench the kid who is learning? Amazing.

I’m not clamoring for Colt. I don’t think hes a starting NFL QB…Perhaps however, he could become one.

Weeden Cannot. And another year of suck. Amazing.

Look, every QB that Cleveland has had since 1999 has played like Tim Couch (the only QB to get the Browns to the playoffs, incidentally.)

Unitas in his prime couldn’t have been successful with the pack of stiffs the Browns have been parading around as a team for the last 13 years. Not to mention the system changes that occur every 2 seasons.

One day, Cleveland will realize that the quarterback isn’t their problem. It’s the endless stream of 3rd and 4th stringers they surround him with.

And speaking of, can we please quit talking about Matt Barkley like he’s going to solve everything? The last ‘great’ qb’s to come from USC were Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, and Mark Sanchez (who this website reported was rattled by the acquisition of a backup who can’t throw).

Seriously, before the half with a couple of minutes left the Browns played conservatively, not trying to score, and hoping the defense would once gain stop Philly. The play calling was so conservative I was looking for Ayn Rand on the sidelines signalling in the plays. The Browns punted with about 1:38 left on the clock. Philly promptly moved the ball down the field and scored. I kept thinking, why didn’t the Browns to to do that instead of rolling up into fetal position.

The truth: The management and the coach stinks.

But did I tell you about the days in the 50′s under Paul Brown when the Browns kicked everyone’s butts? It is getting harder and harder to remember those days.

The answer is twofold:

1.) Yes, they could have
2.) They would have been absolute morons to trade what it took to get him

The Browns had no running back, a TERRIBLE line and possibly the worst receiving tandem in NFL history (still).

Giving away a bunch of number ones and twos to get RG3 would have set them even further back (as hard a that may be to believe), and it would have cost RG3 his career.

Please think before you post.

Problem is the Browns leadership isn’t very smart. Look at this has played out: They wanted to start Weeden and were so scared McCoy was going to cause a qb controversy they practically wrote it in stone he’d be traded or released. Yet, somehow, he winds up as the backup and they have a qb controversy after the very first game. They should have either had an open competition or moved McCoy along like they’d planned. But keeping him as a backup when it’s clear they won’t play him unless Weeden is hit by a bus is as dumb as it gets.

Hey Haslam, why wait? Make a statement. Get it out of the way and just can them all now.

He can’t do anything right now. He’s not the official owner of the Browns until the league owners have voted and paperwork is complete- which will be around the 3rd week of October- over a month from now. Can’t fire anyone who doesn’t officially work for you yet.

However, come late October, I hope Haslam cleans house with a sandblaster!!!!
