Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden knows that the in order for his team to have the best chance to win now, he’s going to need to start right away. The good news is that he believes he’s ready.
“I feel like I’m ready,” Weeden said. “I have a long way to go, but I feel like I’ve taken the right steps to get to where I can play at that level.
“If I’m asked to be the guy Day One, I’m going to do everything on my part to put our team in position to win games and score points. I’m really anxious to get going and the season will be here before you know it.”
Weeden says that he’s been inspired by the rookie quarterbacks who started last season.
“You see guys like Andy Dalton and Cam Newton and Christian Ponder that came in, these guys played relatively soon. That’s what I mentioned to teams the entire time, that my maturity in baseball will help,” he said. “There’s going to be a learning curve. It’s going to be a challenge, but I have a lot of faith in my ability to play football.”
In order for the Browns to have any type of success moving forward, Weeden will need to start right away and I don’t believe he’ll have any problems proving himself to his coaches and teammates from here on out.
