    A win is a win... even only against the Vikes... and remember folks it was only against the Vikes.

    I am elated because I got to see what this O might do with a heady QB rather than a thrower at QB... and I liked what I saw. I hope everyone who fell in love with Wheezy's arm was paying attention.

    horta... love you man, but Hoyer's arm is good enough. He zipped several balls today... It's good enough to compete in this league.

    But the BIG question is, "Is Hoyer the one? The one to take to the mountain top?"

    Actually I still doubt it, but we'll see. The task may now be to find a heady QB with a better arm.

    Also for all you TR lovers... did you happen to notice how early AP fell to the wayside once MN was down to us in the first half. Watch for the same in the Indy game.

    Hoyer wasn't anything good. He was a one read, checkdown QB with Gordon back. You can't tell me Weeden would not have put up big numbers today. The Vikes will be lucky to win 5 games.

    Hoyer made some throws into tight windows that Weeden otherwise would have missed.

    That was Hoyer's 2nd NFL start, and he now has a 4th qtr comeback win. He looked impressive at times, and struggled at times, but I loved his poise and accuracy.

    I was impressed, as he really outplayed my expectations. However, he has a bit of a noodle arm and he still made some bad decisions. He gets another start regardless of how Weedens thumb feels.

    He will get more than 1 more start. The FO hates Weeden, and he is essentially done in Cleveland barring injuries.

  • Hoyer showed the difference between qb's who can SEE the the FIELD in an instant or two,

    and those who don't. I think the Browns would have won the last two games if

    Hoyer had started. Gordon is amazing, hope he is on the right track. And gutsy, aggressive

    coaching. Everybody loves that !

    Sorry, not seeing that. He checkdowned against a defense not ready for it and got a prevent TD. The Vikes are not a good team. If you don't think Weeden wouldn't have put some big points up against them with Gordon back, it represents everything that is wrong with fan analysis.

    I think he's going for a Major League ending.

  • The Ravens only allowed the Texans 9 points. Their defense is sadly, still pretty solid outside a opening game fluke imo. I see no reason to "pile on" Brandon Weeden. He isn't the answer, but he isn't the problem. The problem is a poor OL, poor WR(with no Gordon to boot). Once the braintrust fix those problems, a QB can succeed. A good QB can win a super bowl.

  • Where are you white flag waiving assholes now?All you losers gave up before the first snap of the game.Your not fans your cry babies.

  • I agree on Weeden. He hasn't played poorly at all. I think we saw how much we needed Gordon to help open things up. In the games Weeden played he had no thumbs Little covering his back.

    Lot's of luck with that.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    I agree with that as well. Just a bunch of knee jerkers when they aren't jerking something else.

  • Worst problem in this game was the defense letting Christian ponder run all over them.

    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...

  • I'm not about to get into an argument about QBs, but I WILL say that Hoyer threw 2 TDs on fade routes that Weeden HASN'T yet shown that he can throw. I like the quick decisions from Hoyer.

    While we didn't beat a great team, we played aggressive football on BOTH sides of the ball, had 6 sacks & MANY hurries/disruptions. We played this game to WIN & WIN we did! Take joy in that folks!

    And they want to trade Gordon

    Who said this? Gordon has the potential to be one of the greats. Please do not pull another Paul Warfield trade!

    Did you miss the whole Gordon / Little are on the trade block thread?

    They've already had a serious offer on Gordon, and interest in Little as well - go check the other threads.

    from all that was coming out of cleveland this week via national media and what banner had to say himself you would have thought that THEY were throwing in the towel.

    all on this board want the browns to win. that's it. the words 'tanking for teddy were sure thrown around hear alot but not out of my mouth. it all fell on the line of whether or not you, as a fan, think the browns had made a good trade. it took some longer than others to come around to it, some still haven't.

    IMO i hope we have a QB on this roster that WILL win us 9 games (my prediction before the season). that way it puts too much pressure on banner NOT to go for a QB @ #1 pick. we have too many other holes to fill.

    Yeah all you faggots come in here after the game is over and talk. How many guys were here with us during the game? get out of this thread and start your own. Come back when you're a real fan.

    Love ya too T2M- but go watch the replay Hoyer's arm is marginal. However, he can hit WRs in stride, has touch on his passes, and despite the 2 bad picks (his arm got hit on the 3rd) shows anticipation Weeden can only dream about.I saw Brian avoid about 4 sacks that Weeden would certainly have taken. Hoyer may not be the long term answer, but he sure as hell is the long term bakcup.

    He can zip the ten-yard out and the 15 yd square in. Did both today... and like I said that's good enough to compete. Just like Sipe... still may not be enough to go all the way, but for now I'll take it.

    I wasn't having a go at you just the guy that came in here trashing the browns after a win. If the Tavern is the place to be I'll go next game. I just didn't like the vibe I was getting. Sorry if i offended anyone.
