Brandon Weeden, who's lost his starting job to Brian Hoyer, is proceeding as though he'll be starting again this season. "I'd be lying if I said this was the ideal situation,'' said Weeden, who participated fully in Monday's light practice. "I want to be out there. You never draw it up that you’re going to get hurt Week 2 and stuff like this happens. But it’s life. You can’t feel sorry for yourself. "I’m treating it like this is still my football team, I’m still involved in the offense. I’m not discouraged.'' While Weeden is recovered from his sprained thumb, coach Rob Chudzinski announced Monday that Hoyer will start Thursday night against the Bills at FirstEnergy Stadium in a NFL Network game.

I can see Weeden coming back and being successful with the team. The problem for him is he has a small window to prove he's the man. He better start showing it when he comes back. The Browns are kidding themselves if they think Hoyer is the long-term answer.
