Weeden is a rookie so INTs are expected. So what is Romo’s excuse for throwing an NFL leading 13 INTs?

If there was a legitimate receiver, like an actual NFL receiver on the field with him at some point that might help. I’m a Giants fan and I think that dude should get at least another year.

Probably half of his interceptions are his WR’s fault. Weeden does need to make quicker decisions, but he isn’t doing to bad for a rookie.

Slow news day, or just taking your daily pot-shot at the Browns?

You don’t want to throw interceptions? Well, maybe I’ll just file that nugget of information in the “No Sh*t” folder.

Let him make plays. Shurmur’s been handcuffing him the past couple games and he’s too worried about interceptions. I was at the game against the Ravens and he was way too cautious.

Biggest “DUH” statement I have heard in a long time. I doubt any coach or quarterback are thinking they should toss more interceptions. Honestly though, what did they expect. Rookie QB, rookie RB, underwhelming offensive line, and young WR’s who can’t hold onto the football. THEN they have the nerve to expect Weeden to save their jobs by not throwing interceptions. I hate to say it, but if they expected this offense to shine this year, the coaches and front office were dillusional.

well as long as I consider him DA the 2nd..he is going to be trowing INT’s…iv stated for the last yr it does not matter who our QB is as long as we have horrible WR and right side of line,our QB will throw INTs and get killed

forgot one…Pat Shurmur would like to have more play calls that actually pick up first downs on 3rd and short?

and on a related note, they would like to score more points than their opponent as well!!!

Anything else from the land of obvious? Josh Cribbs would like to give the team better starting field position? Trent Richardson would like to average more yards per carry? Greg Little would like to drop fewer passes? The Dolans would like to have more money in their pocket that they DON’T put back into their baseball team….OOOOOOPS, switched sports there!

Doesn’t take Inspector Gadget to figure out that a QB that throws a ton of INT’s wants to throw less…Why is this a story??

PFT Exclusive : QB and Coach Agree; Interceptions Not A ‘Good Thing’

I like Weeden. Saw the Browns play in their first game this year and then I caught a game recently and you can definitely see improvements in his game. Seems like he has some hope. Only problem, he’s already 29…

”Don’t throw interceptions,” Shurmur said. ”Done. End story. I want to be right to the point.”

This is the problem right here, work with him and teach him he is a rookie. “Don’t throw interceptions” Duh. Do they pay him for this level of coaching?

They should hire me I will be like “Grab the ball and run to the end zone, yea that line right there”

You know you can wish in one hand and crap in the other, guess which one fills up first.

Brandon Weeden still thinks it’s because of his ego.

Picked by some to be the “most mature” then again he got drafted by CLE

I don’t even care to comment on this but I feel bad because it’s about my beloved Brownies and someone should pay attention to them.

Weeden, quit looking down your receivers from the snap and you might not throw so many picks! The line is giving you some time. Has Shurmer mentioned the “pump fake” to you, not sure he knows what that is but maybe you saw it on Madden?

In other news, the Eagles would like to fumble less. The Jets would like to score more and the Lions would like to lessen their probation.

But back to our main story….. The sky is blue and water is wet.

That might be the most obvious headline ever.
Pretty sure most QB’s aren’t looking for ways to increase their picks.

Solid advice. Also don’t piss into the wind

That is generally a good idea.

But I’m not just trolling. This kid-err adult- looked very impressive in both games against my Ravens. Work to do, though.
