Weeden Ruled Out
-
You're nuts Hemp. Everyone thinks he did except you, including experts.
-
Nothing to "justify" with Hoyer. He didn't play well against a poor Vikings club no matter what people hope. If Campbell replaces him with Weeden on the mend, to try and scrap out of the Bengals game, it would not surprise me.
-
What other than winning matters?
Ask Tim Tebow.

Like it was mentioned before, this will be the real test for Hoyer. If he can pull off the win versus the Bengals, a much better defensive team, then I think he will lock down the starting job for the rest of the year. I do think that no matter what happens except for going to the AFC Championship game or to the Super Bowl then we will be drafting a QB next year.

well if he beats the Bengals?? At what point of a hoyer loss does everyone surrender and say might want to see what weeden does the rest of the year with Gordon and company.Like it was mentioned before, this will be the real test for Hoyer.

If weeden is out like it looks like he WILL find work in the NFL.
BTW I'm not into the whole hometown boy bullshit. We've seen that crap crash and burn twice. I'm not rooting more for a guy because he grew up around here.
"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. -
hey a healthy hoyer is equal to a bum-thumbed weeden anyday.

I assume you mean Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn....and not Bernie Kosar?
As Zombo opined- Hoyer will get at least the Bengals and Bills games to show what he's got. If he totally sucks, Chud probably wil go back to Weeden. The handwriting is on the wall though- the Browns Brass thinks Weeden isn't the answer either. A strong arm with minimal quarterbacking skill can equal a long career as a backup- just ask DA.
EDIT: See below Gip- I almost never mess with someone else's posts- but I had to clarify & correct- I boogered up my reply to cd15. I'll claim this as my excuse- had a flu shot yesterday that had me feeling like I had the flu- bad reaction.

Good news. This week will be a true test of Hoyer's ability as a NFL QB. He'll be going up against a 10x better defense and team in general. If he preforms and gets a win there's no reason to even think about putting Weeden back in.
If he performs well and wins this week, it will seriously start the talk of not needing to draft a QB next year (remember Lombardi loves Hoyer). With a short week between games, I'd think it's almost a lock he also gets the start against the Bills unless he shits the bed on Sunday against the Bungles.

Agree, Mark... at least not needing a to draft a franchise QB.
The more Hoyer wins, the more you can forget a first round QB and the more we look for a 2nd to 4th round prospect with upside.
Uuu ooh. I think I smell a future PG crush on Hoyer. Hopefully its justified.
Nah... just a rebound infatuation...
