I just read an article about how Tim Tebow makes sense for the Browns. And for the first time in my life I must say that something that stupid actually makes sense at this point. But the numbers are getting ugly quick.
Brandon Weeden is 0-3 in games he has started this season, bringing his lifetime record to a paltry 5-13. That isn't getting it done here. Neither is the fact that in Weeden's starts the Browns have been outscored 55-6 in the second halves of those games. And in those games Weeden has looked like he doesn't have much for pocket presence, the ability to effectively read defenses, and constantly looks flustered when under pressure.
Then came Sunday, when Weeden corked off possibly one of the most ill conceived passes the league has ever seen. During a drive in the 4th quarter Weeden was flushed from the pocket on 1st and 10. Instead of taking a sack, or even throwing the ball away he threw up a desperation shovel pass. In my life I have never seen a 15 yard shovel pass to a double covered receiver on the sideline. To make matters worse the ball was thrown about 20 feet in the air, and allowed a Lions linebacker plenty of opportunity to make an easy interception on it. Even Tebow hasn't pulled off something that dumb on a football field.
