Jeremiah: QBs for every occasion

Which quarterback would you want for one season? One game? One play? Daniel Jeremiah provides his picks. **More ...**

The usual OTA disclaimers apply here: It's only May. The media can't watch each practice, so we don't know if the quarterbacks are taking turns with the starters -- we suspect they are -- but Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer still called the news a "significant development" as the Browns prepare Weeden to start.

He's not the only rookie counted on for a big role. Running back Trent Richarsdon and right tackle Mitchell Schwartz also lined up with the first team. Free safety Eric Hagg is starting over Usama Young.

It's not exactly a shock that Weeden already is taking starter snaps. It doesn't mean he's officially the team's starting quarterback yet, but that designation is a matter of when, not if.
