Joe Flacco is almost 28 and has 0 superbowls. What's your point? And don't tell me you feel great about your team sans Ray Ray & Webb. |
My point is we stole your team and won a Super Bowl less than 5 years later? Interesting fact about Lewis and Webb, they actually play for the same franchise as the dude in the left of your sig. Why's it gotta be personal?  |
And that's why Jim Brown's name is in the Ravens ring of honor.

Is the fact that our quarterback who has been to 2 AFC Championship games in 4 years is actually younger than your rookie quarterback really supposed to be an argument in your favor?

So 0 superbowl wins in Flacco era right?
No really though, if you wanna say Weeden is a bad investment b/c of his age okay, but his numbers aren't showing signs that it's going to take him 4 years to understand the ropes of the NFL as a starting QB.
If you are basing it of statistics, after 6 games I would rather have Weeden than Flacco.
Flacco 1st 6 career games:
1076 yds, 2 TDs, 7 INTs
Weeden 1st 6 career games:
1519 yds, 7 TDs, 10 INTs

Yes, therefore he sucks, obviously.

Choice is pretty clear.

Won't quote because both of them are ugly as hell and no one deserves to look at their mugs more than they have to.
But towards your original point, let's just say that comparing him to Flacco's first couple of games in the NFL isn't fair. Weeden has actually looked decent, I never said otherwise. But I think we both know it's non-sensical to try to use that to try to talk trash about Flacco. The fact that Joe as a non-senior-citizen-aged rookie coming from FCS Delaware had a rough first 6 games to his career doesn't really say anything about where he ended up. And clearly, every quarterback with a better 2 TD/7 INT ratio after 6 starts has been better than Flacco. What you do then decides it all.
Also, do remind where Flacco ended up at the end of his rookie year. Because it certainly involved him turning around that TD/INT ratio and taking his team on a GW drive against the #1 seed TEN before losing in a AFCCG (14 TD/6 INT and 2 playoff wins past your arbitrary split). Hope Weeden can measure up to that, since apparently we're doing that now.
Weeden has looked decent. But trying to talk about Flacco and the Ravens? Mostly just adorable.

Look I am not really arguing that Flacco sucks or that Weeden has a chance to take the Browns to a AFCCG this year. But please, do yourself a favor, stop blindly taking Heath Evans & Mark Kriegel's perspective on football, watch the Browns & Weeden play before you stick up for someone who dubs him a bad investment.
On another note, it is interesting how the Ravens won a superbowl only 11 years ago AND 4 years ago their offense supposedly improved with Flacco & Rice yet they still cant get over the hump today. Maybe the NFL is just too competitive for those old guys in Baltimore. Or maybe the success of Baltimore is predicated more on their D than their o...

Holmgren isn't the GM, Heckert is. Most Browns fans aren't too upset about Holmgren leaving because he's not the one bringing in the talent.

Bringing Joe Banner in as president is a shrewd move. He did a really good job with the Eagles and I'm sure he'll get the Browns back on track soon. It'll also bring a more structured chain of command to Cleveland.
I do expect there to be some change, most likely at the HC position, since Heckert and Banner worked well together in Philly.

Joe Banner has always been the expected successor to Holmgren and will probably take over immediately. |
I find it funny how I said this when the new ownership took over, only to have every Brown fan mock me as if Holmegren was going to be kept around. lol
