Colt

  • Cleveland Browns officially name rookie Brandon Weeden as their starting quarterback

    Coach Pat Shurmur has seen enough to make rookie Brandon Weeden his starting quarterback.

  • What did they give Colt 2 practices before naming a starter? They wonder why the franchise is a joke in professional sports..............I just hope they go 0-16 and Colt gets traded to a team that at least gives him a chance.

    On Maddog Radio Friday John Feinstein interviewed a sports writer from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. (I believe his name is Terry Pluto)

    Plutosaid Mike Holmgren is gone .........plus he said the only thing Holmgren did while President of the Browns was collect a big paycheck and hire his cronies (that were also represented by his agent) to big salaries and benefits. (the salaries totaled in the millions) In addition he said that while the lock out was going on Colt last pre-season was just about the only guy in the organization who worked or cared. He flew players to Austin for workouts and tried to learn (and teach the offense).

    He said Pat Shurmur was totally uninterested and had never met an NFL coach that had so little personal charisma......................Bottom line it will be better for Colt to get another gig. Cleveland is a mess ..

  • Weeden showed to be suspect in decision making last year, he also did not look good when he has pressure.

  • Word is he'll be the third string QB behind Seneca Wallace.

  • It's disheartening to me to read what some of the Brown's fans write about Colt. It is certain that they do not know any of what he has tried to do to make the team go forward. It is also quite annoying to read that they think he is wining because he said he was not given the opportunity (per his dumb coach's comments to the press, et al) to be the first string qb.

    Why did the coach make such a comment if he was not going to let Colt compete? Colt needs to immediately get out of there. Let them wallow with their new great qb - Weeden (such a joke). They still don't have anyone to throw the ball to and their offensive line can't hold water. I hope Weeden finds himself on his backside on every play and the Brown's don't win one damn game!

  • About a month ago a guy from Foxsports Cleveland said that they tried to move him during and after the draft but there wasn't any interest from other teams.

    I'm not sure why everyone is shocked, everyone knew that Weeden was drafted to be the QB. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone ..

    COACH CUTLIP

  • The browns are always going to suck...to place the blame squarely on colt for having a bad year when everyone knows their receivers can't catch a cold, their online has more holes than Swiss cheese, and a running game that averages less than 3 yards a carry is moronic....just shows how lazy their front office and coaching staff is....qb is not the problem on offense....it's the lack of quality players on offense that's the issue....colt would have improved if they addressed those needs outside of taking a risk on an old rookie who IS NOT MOBILE and is likely to get killed against pitt and bal.

    I am not shocked but at least practice a week or play a game before naming a starter..................At Texas we saw what happens to a locker room when a QB (or any player) is given a position without earning it..............keep in mind the coaching staff will not be there next year anyway so if Weeden is given the job this year it doesn't mean when they hire a coaching staff that knows what they are doing he will be the starter.

  • come on guys this was predictable. whenever an NFL team drafts a QB very high in the draft and simultaneously does not have an entrenched started at QB, you know what is going to happen. that is what it is and the browns are no exception.

    now i certainly agree the franchise as a whole seems for the most part completely clueless which is a surprise to me considering Holmgren is there. but that seems to be the case.

    i just hope that they decide to deal Colt to someone else; anyone else would be better option that cleveland at this point.
