cunninghampeetemcnabbvick – Are you really basing your opinion on the guys first start in the league? As a rookie? He was also playing in Shurmur’s WCO, which if you don’t know, doesn’t play to the strength of big armed QB like Weeden. Give him a shot in the Chud/Turner vertical attack and a second year in the league, then you can make a fair assessment.

wagons716 – Typical (Not tipical) implies that they’ve done it before. Dont recall them drafting another 29 yo QB in the first round…

There is a saying, “Thgose that can’t do…teach,” and that is what Weinke is trying to do. The one thing I would like to see is Weinke to do a drill where Weeden has to throw over DL hands because he had way too many passes knocked down last year. Other than that, I am glad he is trying to improve.

Chris Weinke got Cam Newton ready for Chud’s offense during the lockout and look what he did… I’m not saying Weeden is going to be a completely different player this year, but I fully expect him to be MUCH better after training with Weinke.

Some people are better coaches/mentors than players. You idiots need to understand that.

Can he make Weeden any younger?

I didn’t think so.

Why is he taking advice from Weinke??? Because they both played baseball?

How about taking advice/lesson from and established QB trainer? Just saying…

I only watched one Cleveland game last year, the first one against my Eagles, and Weeden looked like the worst QB I have ever seen in that game. It was like he had the arm strength of Chad Pennington and the accuracy of old Donovan McNabb. I realise he did get better, but c’mon man! I’d rather have Colt McCoy.

I don’t care if Weeden is working with Captain Hook. I’m just happy to hear the guy is working on his game. He needs to get better and fast. He has the talent and physcial tools to be successful in the NFL, he just needs to put the time in to get better. Otherwise he’ll end up exactly like his current mentor.

Weeden is a bum! Tipical Cleveland lets draft a “franchise” QB in the 1st round thats almost 30 years old!!! The Browns must be very happy that he’s working with Chris Weinke because he was so successful in the NFL.

I’ve got a good natural stroke too.

Of course, I generally only use it at night….

Wouldn’t working with a former qb that was successful at the NFL level be a better idea?

I suggest John Elway. He was drafted as a baseball player as well.

I agree with Weinke’s assessment of Weeden…I believe Weeden could be a very decent quarterback, given an effective offensive line.

“Weeden getting advice from the guy you’d expect to advise him”

In other amazing news, “U.S. kids being taught by those you’d expect to teach them”.
