Looking to make a leap from a rather lackluster rookie season, Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has reportedly been spending time with another pitcher-turned-pass-thrower in former NFL quarterback Chris Weinke .
In a feature written by The Plain Dealer s Mary Kay Cabot, Weeden reportedly reached out to Weinke now the director of the IMG football academy in Bradenton, Florida to work on improving key area s of the Browns quarterback s game before the team gets together hotel monaco seattle at the beginning of April.
hotel monaco seattle Weinke, a former farmhand for the Toronto Blue Jays, had a very successful collegiate career including a Heisman trophy before panning out after two seasons in the NFL. He has since worked with many NFL players including former No.1 draft pick Cam Newton who played under new Browns head coach Rob Chundzinski in Carolina. Weinke has also reportedly been working with impending hotel monaco seattle draftees Geno Smith and Matt Barkley.
We re focusing on [Brandon's] footwork, and he s a gifted athlete, said Weinke. We re trying to create that sense of urgency within his feet, which will obviously translate into getting rid of the ball quicker. He was very receptive and I m excited to see what transpires over the next couple days.

yeah, the fact that Cam, Geno, and Barkley are all going to him means that he s got something decent going on with his academy. hopefully, it translates, but, at minimum, it at least means Weeden is putting the time in to practice hotel monaco seattle right now.
Yep, my initial reaction was snark as well, but you re right. The fact that Weinke couldn t succeed in the NFL doesn t mean he can t coach. The vast, vast majority of successful football coaches were not NFL stars (or even NFL players). Let s hope this works. At the very least, we can assume that Weinke learned quite a bit from his experience, even if he couldn t put that learning to work while he was in the league (or perhaps didn t realize the learning until after he was out).
My sentiment exactly. Weinke probably knew what he needed work on, or has figured out what that was since his playing days. The experience of a failure, not an utter failure, is still very valuable. Here is what I did wrong and should have corrected to be successful That s a good place to start.
Weinke is probably a good coach he has been around long enough to have worked with a lot of high level coaches. Don t discount IMG s name, location, and facilities, however, when forming an opinion on Weinke s drawing power.
I feel like asking hotel monaco seattle an uber-gifted, natural talent like Peyton Manning how to be QB like him might yield a response of: To be a great quarterback, what I do is throw the ball really well to the receiver hotel monaco seattle so we get a touchdown.
Successful coaches are usually NOT successful players (NFL ProBowl caliber) and vice versa. Not sure why that is, but you don t see virtually any Pro Bowlers who go on to be anything other than position coaches. I think there is a fundamental difference between coaching and playing that keeps you from being successful at both.
Seriously, Chris Weinke?!?!?! WTF!!!! Why not consulting with Tebow, at least he won a few games. So Montana, Namath, Marino, Favre etc. to seek out for advice not good enough, he must consult with Weinke.
Folks, perhaps Weeden hotel monaco seattle did try to seek out better former QB s for help and the only person that would answer his phone call was Chris Weinke, who probably thought it was a telemarketer calling him until he realized it was Weeden.
