On Thursday at the NFL Combine, new Browns GM Ray Farmer was asked if he thought Weeden could still be a winning quarterback in the NFL.
“Do I think he can be a winning quarterback in the NFL?” Farmer repeated. “Umm ... I’ll say this. When we grade players we grade players on what they’ve done. Specifically, when you’re in the National Football League. The college draft, in my opinion, is a projection. So you put the grade on a player based on what you think he becomes in one to two years’ time. Once you get into the National Football League you get graded upon your performance and what you’ve been able to achieve at that moment. With that being said, everybody’s performance warrants a grade that’s relative of that performance. We have a grade on Brandon. We know what that grade is. In time, his agent and he will both know where we stand with Brandon.”
