Brandon Weeden and panic in Cleveland
Yes, he is a rookie and one can expect troubles for the young man trying to adjust to the NFL. This does not excuse the numerous throws above, behind and at times thrown where there were no receivers--just defenders. Weeden looked "rattled" and oftens times seem to throw passes out of desperation, locked on receivers and made numerous poor decisions. Along with throwing for 118 yards with a miserable 30 percent completions he showed his lack of mobility and at times seem to hurry his throws in anticipation of being hit.
Highly touted for his accuracy this did not appear as he missed numerous receivers. Simply put, Weeden is a work in progress and was rushed into the limelight to quick. With the Browns defense keeping us "in the game" ball control and the need to protect the ball was paramount--a game manager if you will--this was one of the knocks on McCoy who has shown the ability to protect the ball.
Whether one is a fan of Weeden or a supporter of McCoy would it not benefit Weeden to sit and learn for a few games, catch up to the speed of the NFL so that when he gets his shot--he is not overwhelmed? Weeden is a project, and should be treated as such........Fire Away!
