The Facts:
For the Browns to take the next step, Weeden must improve on his uneven rookie campaign from a season ago. ESPN's Ron Jaworski believes that's about to happen. Jaws watched every one of Weeden's throws from 2012 and came away impressed, going so far as to say that the 29-year-old passer "will be a rock-solid NFL starter in Norv Turner's offense," per Evan Silva of Rotoworld.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"For a rookie, Weeden showed uncommon poise and calm in the pocket," said Jaworski, who called Weeden's mechanics "consistently solid" and touted the quarterback's ability to "sit on his back foot and drive the ball with velocity." As NFL.com's Marc Sessler suggested, it's a surprising assessment. On the surface, Weeden's rookie season was a hot-and-cold affair that showed off his strong arm but exposed his poor decision-making. Jaws has closely been analyzing signal-callers for decades, so his stamp of approval is encouraging. That said, you'll want to keep a close eye on Weeden's progress in training camp before getting carried away.
