The Cleveland Browns are hoping to make major progress from a 4-12 season that put them well into cellar of what is arguably the NFL's toughest division. If the Browns hope to compete with the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals this year, they will need solid production from the quarterback position. Colt McCoy completed just 57.2 percent of his passes last season for 2,733 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
The Browns drafted 28-year-old Brandon Weeden out of Oklahoma State in the first round with the assumption that he would take the starting job away from McCoy. Speaking with ESPN 850 WKNR, however, head coach Pat Shurmur said he still doesn't know when he is going to name a starter between the two.
"I have a plan for how I think this thing will work out and I've been through this before when you're trying to get a starter and a backup and a third quarterback ready to go and so it will happen in a timely fashion," Shurmur said.
"There's so much good work that happens here and the most important thing is of course is that the quarterback is getting work with the receivers he's going to play with and we're working in new receivers and what you would consider the first and second group."
