Haslam said there would be a competition and the Cleveland media translated it as “bringing in a QB”. The only other halfway official statement of one being brought in is Derek Anderson saying there was an 80% chance he was coming back in free agency.

All thats going on in Cleveland is Weeden is going to actually have to earn the spot in 2013. It was handed to him last season without McCoy, Wallace or Lewis even getting consideration and that was proven counterproductive considering how well McCoy and Lewis looked when called on at the end of the season.

One extremely important thing Chud did was hire two experienced and good coordinators. An inexperienced HC especially needs that. And Chud himself called plays for a total of what, 4 years?

Dude.. No one is giving up a first and an additional pick for Flacco.

1) No team is that stupid
2) No team is a QB away from the dance, so no one’s that desperate.

Actually, Buffalo is a QB, 2nd Receiver and Linebacker away from having a damn good team.
Between Free Agency and the draft they are expected to fill those vacancies. I for one would definitely give up 2 first round picks for a QB as solid as Joe Flacco. He is a proven winner and is Joe Cool under pressure. Look what the Redskins gave up for RG3, and it was unknown whether or not he’d make it at the next level. Flacco would get scooped up by many teams.

What quarterbacks career are the Browns going to ruin next?

They have to give Brandon Weeden at least 1 more year as a starter. Greg Little actually catching balls would also help the perception of Weeden. Other than that, they have a solid o-line and a young beast at RB. There’s a lot to like here.

The team will continue to lose, the joke fans will continue to make excuses for Weeden, and the rest of us will continue to get a good laugh at the expense of a city that’s the biggest loser in sports.

Trade Mallet. Bring back Cassel who was 11-5 as a starter in NE. which gives them an established, proven, backup that worked out there. Use a lower pick to draft Brady’s eventual replacement. Cassel will likely be released or be available for a 7th round pick. Use the picks for Mallet to upgrade elsewhere.

Has he even played a down in the regular season? Belichick leaves Brady in all game regardless of the score so he can run it up.

If I were an NFL GM, I wouldn’t trade for such an untested backup to be my starter. Even Matt “Fell Flat” Cassel had a season’s worth of play before he was dumped on an unsuspecting Chiefs public.

And as for “the NFL’s platinum-standard franchise”, by my count it’s been eight years since the Pats won any Super Bowl, and we won’t go into the circumstances surrounding their wins. How are they the standard, except by a writer or announcer simply saying it’s so?

He seems to have that gunslinger edge about him. There’s a good young core on offense. Why screw with it before it has a season to develope? Change for the sake of change! That always works well, eh?

Shurmur’s west coast offense simply didn’t play to Weeden’s strengths.

The Browns should look to bring someone in to compete for the starting job with Weeden, with the knowledge that Weeden could well earn the starting job in 2013.

He’s not going anywhere. What would happen
if Brady went down ?

No. The Pats need that kid.

Besides, last I knew every pass was a bullet – kid had no touch pass ability.
