Last season with the Cleveland Browns Brandon Weeden and the organization had a turmoil of a year. There were many issues with injuries that allowed many rotations with quarterbacks, many turnovers and miscues with different players running wrong routes, and horrific decisions by each of the quarterbacks.
Former Brown’s quarterback Brandon had explained that he was doing too much. “Sometimes you get caught up in it. You try to do too much as a player and that’s one thing if I could change about myself, I wouldn’t try to do too much every Sunday. I think, just let the game kind of come to you and be more patient says Weeden.”
“I had some good times in Cleveland and I had some times where I just wasn’t very good,” Weeden told 105.3 The Fan. “Even though I am 30 years old, I still feel like I got a lot of football ahead of me. I’m excited about the opportunity of a fresh start.”
Weeden stated that his experience with the Browns was an opportunity to grow as a more experienced quarterback and that is what he is bringing to the table. Weeden has the chance to turn a new leaf over with his career as he is fighting for a position as a back-up quarterback with the Dallas Cowboys.
In a two year span Weeden had completed 438 out of 784 attempts, 5,116 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and 26 interceptions. “I feel like I have something to prove. “One thing I haven’t really had in Cleveland is a veteran guy that has been playing the position for a long time to sit back and learn from,” said Weeden, cut from the Browns and now under contract in Dallas at a no-risk total of $1.23 million for the two seasons. “I’ve got two, with Tony and Kyle. Sit back, be a sponge, really dive in, and try to become a better player.”
Could Weeden beat out Kyle Orton for the secondary position as quarterback? Brandon is very optimistic about the change in organizations and looks to help out the Cowboys in anyway that he can.
