10:40 AM ET 12.29 | The jury is still out for the Browns' new regime on rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden, league sources have said. That's because they're not sure who their coach will be next season, and whether he will want Weeden as his guy. The Browns are likely to part ways with coach Pat Shurmur and General Manager Tom Heckert as early as Monday. Weeden's future depends largely on the how the expected new coach views him and whether he will fit the new scheme. Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress said he expects Weeden to take a big leap in his second year, and Shurmur has been pleased.

The Browns better make up their mind in a hurry, as Weeden is already 29 years old!!!!

I wonder who will be next in the seemingly unending line of QBs that the Browns will not be sold on?

Geez, no wonder the Browns are in the shape they're in. Make up your **** minds already.
Weeden has been okay. Not great, but hell, he's a rookie. You have Weeden. You have McCoy. Decide on one, or trade them both, or whatever, but there's a reason the Browns have been **** the past decade, and it's **** like this.
...the best policy

Continue to start Weeden. Give him the confidence to know that you're not going to pull him during games or replace him in the line up. Then, coach him up to make him the best QB you can. Do this for two full seasons. If after two seasons he isn't improving then replace him. Catching lightning in a bottle with a rookie QB who can light it up is very rare. How many can you name from the last ten years? How many were good for more than one year?

The jury is still out on the whole team. The Browns played pretty well this year, they were only blown out in 3 games...and the rest were all close. Firing everyone and starting over, might not be the route to take.

This.
Of course, they could just blow the whole team up and a year from now wonder why things didn't go smoothly at all. That seems just as Brown-like as anything else.

My guess is new owner Jimmy Haslam wants to get his own people in there. Not keeping hires from the previous clueless owner.

Weeden cant stand in the pocket and make the throw when pressure comes at him, he bails. That was his MO in college and it is clearly an issue in the NFL- no accuracy on the long ball and the worst telegrapher in the NFL. What were the browns thinking?- get rid of him

Have not seen someone throw into triple coverage as much as Weedon since Tim Couch, but Couch was always running for his life, which is not the case here....and to think they traded up for him.......almost as good of a draft choice as Butch Davis sekecting a player that was going to prison.

Shurmur can go. Heckert should stay. In fact, http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/save-browns-gm-tom-heckert/
Weeden should be given another year. He set a Browns rookie passing record this year and still nobody is satisfied with what turned out to be a pretty solid season for him with below average to average WR/TE options. And who gives a crap if he is 29? Roger Staubauch was 27 or 28 when he came out of the Naval Academy. How about getting Weeden a #1 receiver and another lineman that can block and let's see how he does next year.

Roger Stuabach stated his first year with the Cowboys at the young age of 27... and as i remember his first 2 or 3 years were shakey, he threw more interceptions that TS's,,,, ohhh wait, didn't he make it into the "hall of fame"?
