Do you Browns fans remember a Cleveland quarterback with the number 17 on his back? He was a winner and Campbell could be the next winner.

The Cleveland Browns started having their mini camps. It was good to see a Cleveland quarterback with a number 17 on his back on the practice field yesterday. Fans have to go way back to recall a guy by the name of Sipe who wore the number 17. The Browns won some football games back then, the team thought they could win each time they took to the field.

The team has a new guy in town, he looked hungry during yesterdays workouts. His name is Jason Campbell and he looked right at home taking snaps and throwing the ball down field. This season the Browns are going to let Campbell and Weeden battle it out to see who gets to be the starting quarterback. Campbell has a lot more NFL experience than Weeden. He should have the advantage coming into camp.

Weeden is just cocky enough to think he can beat Campbell out for the starting job. What Weeden might not understand yet, is the Browns aren’t promising any players anything at this point in time. The Browns head coach said he was using these mini camps as a tool to determine who knows what.

If that is the case, it will become clear real fast that Weeden lacks in the football common sense department. It is no fault of his own. Weeden doesn’t have the years of football experience of a guy like Campbell. Browns fans should know by now that Weeden’s main sport was baseball. He tried to make it in the Major Leagues but never really was able to break through.

A guy like Campbell has a lot more time playing football. He has the high school and college experience and he has been in the NFL for 8 years. Weeden has a lot of home work to do before the real training camp takes place.

Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski did not want to anoint a starter just yet. He said this is a long process and there are plenty of things to do between now and the season opener. Chud, would not comment on what Weeden did last season. He went on to say after yesterday’s mini camp that it is clear that Weeden has the arm to get the ball down field. Chud didn’t seem that confident in all the other qualities a quarterback in the NFL such as Weeden does or doesn’t have.

It will be an interesting time in Cleveland this summer. Right now Weeden took the majority of the snaps with the ones, but Chud said he intends to give Campbell time with the ones as well.
