The Cleveland Browns explored a number of different avenues to get better at the quarterback position this offseason, according to Tony Grossi of ESPNCleveland.com, the team wanted size at the position, a strong and accurate arm and maturity. Of the more realistic candidates, free agent Matt Flynn was no bigger than Colt McCoy with a similarly popgun arm, he was never seriously considered. Robert Griffin III also was too small and too eager to show how fast he could run, the Browns never seemed all-in on Griffin and they pursued him just enough to say they tried. Ryan Tannehill had the size and the arm, but his maturity as a quarterback and field leader were so lacking that he turned them off in personal interviews. He didn’t project as a leader.

Look who it's coming from though, Tony "I'm a freaking troll" Grossi. There's no story here but he needs to look busy so he writes some nonsense typical of him. There's no news here.
Well anyway you look at it Weeden better deliver. If not Holmgrens going to catch flack for drafting him. I would think Cleveland's fans are tired of looking up in the north.
Ummm didnt the Browns make the same offer as the Skins to move up in the draft & get RG3 but the Rams went w/ the Redskins offer because of the relationship w/ Shanahan?
Browns/Holmgren confirmed this themselves, so this is a load of blocks. May possibly believe the Weeden over Tannehill & Flynn part, but no way where they planning on taking Weeden over RGIII.
