![]() ![]() He may even play well in a couple games, spawning comments about his "first-round talent" and features about his latest "second chance. Weeden will bounce from backup job to backup job, making a start here and there due to injury. It will probably keep him in the NFL for a while as well. Some club is going to look at the big arm, that 6'4" frame and the 4,727 passing yards in 2011 at Oklahoma State and decide that Weeden's talent is worth a roster spot. Weeden may be terrible, but so is the situation at quarterback for more than a few NFL teams. Should that come to pass, someone will bite. It's not at all hard to see the Browns deciding that just cutting bait makes more sense to the franchise than keeping Weeden around as a potential third-string passer and first-string distraction. The new CBA makes Weeden's contract easy enough to keep on the books, but with Hoyer coming back from a serious injury and the Browns in possession of two first-round picks, quarterback is going to be a priority for the Browns early in next year's draft. It could also mean the end of Weeden's days in Cleveland. It's a damning assessment of Weeden, given how badly Campbell played in limited duty for the Chicago Bears in 2012.

Brandon Weeden did his best Brett Favre impression and attempted a backhanded, underhanded pass. Brandon Weeden Drafted in Round 1 by the Cleveland Browns, Weden never really made much of an impact in the league. ![]() It's been a long, fast fall for a player who was drafted only a year ago as the future at quarterback for the Browns. The writing has been on this wall since the beginning of his first start in the NFL. Bump that number over 2.5 seconds, and Weeden's completion percentage drops to 48.7 percent. On throws where he holds the ball for 2.5 seconds or less, Weeden is completing 59.7 percent of his passes. ![]()
