Buno's thoughts why Kelly/Weeden can coexist!!!

[buno67]

Chip Kelly: He is the mastermind behind one of the best offensives in college football ever since he entered FBS in 2007. Kelly runs his own version of the spread offense. Kelly runs a more read option/heavy run spread offense with inside/outside zones, power players, and the option

Brandon Weeden: He was the QB for one of the best offenses in College his last two years in college. He ran Mike Gundy's spread offense perfect. unlike Chip Kellys spread offense, Mike Gundys spread offense was all about passing the ball. Going 4 and 5 wide and having Weeden picking apart defenses. Final two years in the system he went 69% comp. 9000yards. 71TDs to only 26 TDs
----------------------------------------------------------------

I hate how some people are getting so worked up at the idea of chip kelly coming to Cleveland and having him use Weeden. Some of these posters are getting all pissy saying were about to throw away half of Kellys playbook. If Bill Belichick can adapt his offense to incorporate some of Chip Kellys offense than why cant Chip Kelly incorporte some typical offense into his system or incorporte some of Belichick/McDaniels into his system (just an example).

Lets see here...Chip Kelly runs a spread offense but has it focused more on the run, with his read option spread attack. So Kelly has a very good base of the spread attack but he loves to run out of his spread attack. With Oregon, Kelly used a mobile QB to just make his offense that more dangerous. When Dixon, Thomas, Masoli, and etc being good dual threat QBs

Now Weeden, a QB who ran a spread offense in college but his was more pass happy unlike Kelly's run heavy offense. Kelly's base offense is rooted with the spread and Weeden's best offense for him is rooted in the spread. We saw him tear up the spread offense in college with disgusting yards and numbers.

Chip Kelly is Widely regarded as one of the most innovative offensive minds in college football today. I seriously think Chip Kelly can come up with an offense that could potential be deadly in Cleveland (sounds like an oxymoron)

I could see Kelly eliminate the running QB from his offense but replacing it with more spread type passing attack. If Kelly decides to come to Cleveland he has the chance to work with a RB that has the most talented he has ever had the chance to coach and he gets to possibly work with Weeden who would be the best passer he has ever had the chance to coach.

I honestly could see Kelly transforming his offense to a spread attack with the focus on a single back type formtion. We get to put Weeden back into the spread offense he is good in and we can start setting up TRich into run friend defenses and if not TRich is a beast out of the back field. We could have Weeden finally playing more out of the Shotgun which a lot of ppl wanted to see him do more of. If we go to a fast paced spread attacking offense with Weeden and his arm defenses are gonna have to use more DBs and less LBs. Now we have TRich running against defenses that have 5/6DBs 2/1LBs instead of 4DBs and 3/4LBs. With the power running of TRich he can run over those DBs and punish defenses. If TRich forces defenses to bring in more LBs to be able to tackle him, Weeden can play the match ups and hopefully burn the defense. In stead of having a mobile QB keeping the run defense honest of the runningback, we have a QB who can pass the ball to keep the defenses honest of the runningback

Posters are saying taking away the threat of a running QB takes away half of Kellys offense. Mariota has only ran the ball 98times this year. If the QB running the ball was half the offense he would have a lot more attempts. Kelly just uses the QBs running ability to keep the defense honest. I think if Kelly had a legit passer he would use the pass more to keep the defense honest but he has never had a legit passer his tenure at Oregon. Mariota has been his best passer and we can see Kelly allows his passing ability to keep defenses honest than his rushing ability.

Mariota has only ran it 98times this year, Thomas only ran the ball 56time last year, the year before thomas only ran it 93times, Masoli ran it 121times in 2009 and 127times but he was also not a very good passer, and Dixon only ran it 105times. IMO when Kelly trusts his QBs passing ability he rather have them attack the defense with his arm than with his legs.

I agree he and Weeden can work. I think Thad Lewis is a perfect backup as well. If Weeden doesn't get his act together as far as when the pressure is at its highest then I am done supporting him. I do want to give him another year though. He has talent and the ability to improve its all going to come down to how well he can handle the big moments.

I can see it being run a lot like what Arizona did with Kurt Warner as QB. Although Edgerrin James was not in his prime, you spread the defense out and let your power back run it up the gut and move the chains. If we can combine Kelly's offense, Tweak it just a bit, and set up a future stud defense for years to come, we could be really scary.

In my opinion....


Weeden failed to successfully run an offense that he was hand picked for.... I don't think he is going to have a positive turn around in an offense that he is less suited for.



Kelly has had TONs of success because of how dynamic his offense is. Part of what makes his offense so dynamic and hard to defend is the threat of the QB run with the zone read option. Taking away that aspect will limit his offenses potential, if it benefited his offense he would have recruited pocket passers instead of all running QBs...

If the browns don't want an offense with a running QB they are hiring the wrong guy. If the browns want a pocket passer in traditional pro offense they should hire Saban.. Or Lovie... Or Ray Horton... Etc. or kept shurmur...

Kelly has proven himself... And his offense has proven itself as well.

I think we still need to find out if Weeden can run any offense at this level correctly before we jump into why he would work in Kelly's.
