    Brady replaced Bledsoe because of injury. Brady was a sixth round pick and was actually the 4th string qb originally. Brady also played in Michgan, although the Wolverines not the Spartans.

    Nice ... let me add this: New England was 0-2 coming off a 5-11 season when Brady made his first start.

    They won the Super Bowl.

    Hoyer spent three years backing up Brady.

    Well Hoyer was playing against guys who are mostly unemployed right now but unlike Weeden he showed his neck is functional. I question Hoyer's arm strength and we'll see how he does against pressure, second coming of Tom Brady? probably not but a lot more exciting than Campbell. I think we have seen the last of Weeden. Add another name to the list.

    Didn't want to repost the guy's back with all the quarterback names scratched off one by one- but- reading Grossi's ESPN article, since the return NOT ONE of Cleveland's starting qbs has a winning record- how sad is that?

    The only ? I have about Hoyer is- hey he's been cut by the Patriots (Bill B rarely makes a mistake in that regard), the Cardinals, & the Steelers. Says something about other team's opinion of his qbing ability. OTOH, he's playing for his hometown team- he's going to be pumped, and the Steelers did cut Johnny Unitas. 🙂

    And it's starting to get obvious- Weeden doesn't have the reaction time to be a big time NFL qb, and as Skinsfan said Campbell is shot. I'd as soon sink or swim with the local kid. (Well Frye and Quinn didn't do us much good, now that I think about it)

  • This is a nightmare. Y u even sign Campbell in the first place.

    And then they say weeden will return. Y start third stringer then?

    Sounds like Lombardi is fucking this horse and chud us just holding the head.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

  • Weeden sucks. Campbell is a little better but ultimately he sucks. Let's see what Hoyer does. If he sucks...well then we know how we'll be drafting next year, don't we?

    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...

  • He is not the next Tom Brady. He's not the next Johnny Unitas. He's not going to be a hall of fame QB.

    He's going to get pressured early and often, but at least he won't have Little out there dropping balls. He's going into a better situation than Weeden has been in the last 2 weeks.

    He'll have a 225 yard game with 1 TD and 2 INTs, Richardson will find the end zone one time and we'll have a couple field goals from Cundiff. Unfortunately, AP will have a TD against us, Jennings will and so will Rudolph.

    Browns lose 21-20.

  • Plus Campbell was signed, I believe, before Hoyer became availiable. As soon as he was The browns snatched him up. Sounds to me like Lombardi had his eye on Hoyer and was just waiting for a chance to give Hoyer an opportunity.

    The Browns coaching staff deliberatley sabotaged the game plan in the first two weeks with shoddy play calling. They then proceeded to give Weeds his walking papers with a convienent ghost thumb injury that will sideline him for the year.

    Now with Lombanner's man at the helm and Gordon coming back they'll unleash the entire playbook.

    I'm not buying the conspiracy theory- truly believe Weeden has a bum throwing hand- but I do have to wonder how much input Dumbtardi had in this decision- none, I hope.

    That sure looks like a devastating injury. I have at least three different cuts on my body that are twice the size of that right now.

  • Try and find a Hoyer NFL highlight reel. Or lowlight reel. Or just video of him playing in general.

    I can't.

  • I DVR'd the preseason so I'm going to go back and check out Hoyer to see what I can see...

    We suck as scouts, they suck as quarterbacks. I'm just going to drink heavily until someone makes me jump out of my seat and say "I think we have ourselves a quarterback!"

    --Been rehearsing that line for 15 years.

  • well there goes my 9 and 7 record prediction for the year.

    see you all next year at the draft.

    and yes fairhooker11. yes. and it won't stop til i drop.

  • The Hoyer choice over Campbell makes sense. You already know what you're going to get from Campbell, might as well see what Hoyer has to offer. If he's good then we've found a quarterback. If he's not then Weeden goes back in. And if Weeden continues to play like he has then draft a QB. Something about all of this feels oddly familiar...

    There's this:

    Plus there are a few more Hoyer Video links on this page.

  • There's this:

  • I'm down with it. I really am. It's logical.

    Weeden is going to see a hand specialist, which makes me think of Kurt Warner's three lost years trying to get his "thumb injury" to heal before he got good again. It's going to be a bigger deal, as one of the radio dudes said. And to keep the metaphor going, whatever loose hold Weeden had on the starting job is gone.

    If Brian Hoyer had become available earlier, I seriously doubt Jason Campbell is a Brown. We don't know if they're right or wrong just yet, but Lombardi and Banner think Hoyer just might have what it takes to be a really good NFL quarterback. Sobo (of OBR and other outlets now) wrote back in early August that Hoyer wasn't REALLY the third string QB. Over the course of the season, he might be closer than Campbell to taking Weeden's job.

    Why? Because Campbell will be 32 this season. His lot is cast: He's a backup and spot starter. Weeden is almost certainly gone. The one guy with at least a flicker of a future in Cleveland... is Hoyer. Oh, it's way more likely that he'll be backing up Tajh Boyd next year but there's at least a glimmer of hope that the 27-year-old Hoyer can make smart decisions, but the ball in the hands of the playmakers, get the ball out way faster than Weeden.
