08:02 AM ET 02.16 | What might keep Brandon Weeden, who threw for nearly 10,000 yards over the past two seasons at Oklahoma State, from having success at the next level? Weeden plays in a high percentage half-read college spread offense. Just by the nature of the offense, he is supposed to put up big numbers; it's very quarterback friendly. ... There have been many quarterbacks who have played in similar offenses in the past 8-10 years who have done little in the NFL. Many quarterbacks who have played in half-field read spread offenses struggle when they get to the NFL because they have to learn how to play from under center, set up and read the whole field. It's a whole new concept. Weeden struggled in the Senior Bowl playing from under center.

Well, then, there are teams in the NFL where he'd be a perfect fit.

The case against Brandon Weeden

How about the fact that he'll be turning 29 in his rookie season?

Interesting. To save the rest of you the trouble of looking it up, he was the first round draft pick of the NY Yankees a few years back, bounced around baseball a bit, and then went to college.

He won't be a first-rounder, but there are 32 NFL teams with clipboards to be carried. Weeden will get a chance somewhere.

It matches his hair, too. The Bungles should be interested.

Thats what I was thinking too...he'll already be older than 75% of the starting QBs in the league...how high can his ceiling be? Heck if I was 7-8 years older than the guys I played with I BETTER look like a beast!

Here in Charlotte, we call that the Chris Weinke syndrome....dumb **** Seifert drafted that bum when he was head coach here...how'd that work out? 1-15 is the answer...

He needs first-round, starter-franchise-quarterback money so he can afford a decent haircut.

Brady plays in a high percentage half-read pro spread offense.

Same for Peyton.

I think Brady and Peyton are reading the whole field, regardless of what formation they might be in. They're both pretty good playing from under center, too.
