  • Yeah that's all good that he's a good player. I never said he wasnt. Talent gets you pretty far. But if you're talented AND have a work ethic? That's a player you want long term.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Said it before... will say it again... Campbell is a shot QB. I hope Wheezy guts it out and plays, but if not, I go with Hoyer.

    On Gordon... I've been saying for a while that he just looked "off" this preseason. An impression based more on body language than play. Hopefully it was due to impending suspension and not being a disgruntled "employee".

  • Guy has a noodle arm on this offense he has no chance to succeed. He's better suited for the WC offense.

    Slow Ur Role Jabroni!

  • Norv Turner's offensive scheme is really blowing the doors off with 1 offensive TD in two games.

    Put Hoyer in Sunday. Focus on some quick slants and screens to Cams and Ogbo and then maybe the o line can open up some holes for TRich.

    Defense has been playing great, but with the current punchless offense, D is going to have to score td's for the Browns to contend.

    👍

  • Hoyer seems to have fans who think he has "it," whatever it is. They're pretty persistent about it, too. He has a nice arm (better than Dalton) but not a Weeden arm. But that arm hasn't helped Weeds all that much so far.

    I don't have a problem with Hoyer starting. It's not like we have anybody that's just so obviously better or something.

    For what it's worth, Alo's been talking about Hoyer for three years.

    Leadership? God knows we need some on the Offense. I know I thought I saw a bit of a spark in preseason.

    Then again, I think I saw Wheezy chewing a little ass in the huddle this week... Still hoping he can get a note so he can play this week.

  • Lombardi was/is high on Hoyer because he seems to have the mental aspect: He can read a defense before AND after the snap. He doesn't have slow eyes. He goes through the progressions.

    He isn't a high-end physical talent, to be sure. He has a mid-range arm and low-end wheels. But watching that overthrow of Obie last week just about closed it for me. You just can't miss wide open receivers week after week and then blame the guards and receivers for not getting open.

    You just hit those, period, and everything looks different.

    LOL, but Weedster looked so impressive on "Sports Science."

  • Just heard on the radio that Hoyer is getting the start.

    Really? I wonder why we wouldn't keep the Vikings guessing longer rather announce on Wednesday?

  • I'm gonna have to buy Tourma's "Campbell is shot" theory ... he just didn't look excited to be there Sunday. You'd think the opportunity to start again would be something he was craving ... but I haven't seen it in anything he has said or done since has been here.

    Oh well ... Brian Hoyer, Arizona's 4th string QB last year it is ...

  • Definitely interesting that Hoyer jumped over Campbell who I thought was the #2 QB on the depth chart. Maybe Hoyer had a better week at practice.

    So this begs the question, if Hoyer lights the Vikings up, say 300+ yards and 2-3 TDs with no picks, does he keep the starting job? I know some believe that you shouldn't lose your job to injury but we see how that turned out for the Patriots when Brady took over as well as the 49ers when Kaepernick took over.

    Yes.

  • I think he's already got the starting job, because Campbell sucks, and I think everyone at the Browns now KNOWS Weeden ain't gonna cut it.

  • Nice call cysko

    I like it. May as well give the guy a shot. Already know what Campbell can do.

    We just needed a backup named Brian to rescue the franchise again ...
