    2-0 with Hoyer. It has to suck to lose the starting job because of injury, however; you have to go with the hot hand. Hoyer has good command in the huddle, and makes good decisions. Weeden may be strong armed, but has no touch on the ball at all! Before anyone says that Weeden didn't have the benefit of Josh Gordon for the first 2 games, well... he had him all last year, and didn't do shit!

    Looks like the players are behind him as well:

    Great story for Hoyer, but you have to wonder what's going through Weeden's head. Clearly a talented athlete, but failed at baseball, and now it looks like he's failing at football. I feel for the guy because he seems genuinely nice.

      I'm hoping that with a little time that Weeden can progress at his game. Drafted and thrown to the wolves is not the best way to learn...at least in my book. Maybe he can learn and become a much better qb for some bench time.

        I can understand that. I don't hate Weeden as a person. I mean, he probably is a nice guy, but from a football perspective drafting him in the 1st round was a reach. It's probably a big reason as to why Jimmy Haslam punched Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert's tickets out of town!

          Yep, I doubt anyone would have taken him between out 22 and 37 last year, would could have waited to take him, no doubt. Then he's not a first rounder, not under instant pressure to rescue the franchise, Colt McCoy gets to play on etc. But then if we're redoing the draft, we take Russell Wilson (or Kirk Cousins) in the third, and then (someone else) with the second first. But hey, hindsight is perfect 🙂

              I think they have their eyes set firmly on the Bridgewater, or whoever they love in that draft. Maybe someone's desperate for Clowney and they actually pull off a huge trade and get a bunch of picks - either way, they're thinking what everyone else is, that this draft is loaded with potentially franchise QBs, they can pick one up wherever they end up, basically.

                Loaded with qb's yes, one maybe NfL ready, then all I see is alot of works in progress after that.

                  Right, and what's Weeden if not a 30-year-old work in progress? If they want someone to act as the starter for a year or two, maybe they should try a Matt Cassel, or Josh Freeman, or someone who's at least shown an ability to win games in the past.

                    Easy answer is front office and coaching ego's.

                    I thought weeds was a wasted pick. I supported him, but didn't like the selection. H&H's ego stood in the way and blew it.

                    The NFL wants its first RD. Selections to be game ready.

                    I don't know about you but I don't see the talent at a high level for this years QB class. Not trying to be pessimistic, just objective.

                      It's a really, REALLY strong quarterback draft. Both at the top and in depth. "Works in progress?" You mean more than most guys who haven't played pro football? I'm gonna have to disagree. It's just a really good QB draft, period.

                          I like Weeden. I think he still can become a good NFL starter. Having said that I can't make a case to take the ball from Hoyer. He looks great, nice touch, good location on longer passes and we are winning. I hope he keeps it going. The drive home from the game is always much shorter when we win lol.

                          I would not be surprised if Weeden was a Titan or Jag by next week. He would probably a 3rd or 4th and he is not tied to the current regime.

                                It does make sense, the reason they've given, that it's a short week.

                                Sure but then if Hoyer does well again they keep starting him and name him so. They will have 10 days to get things smoothed over with Weeden and keep everybody happpy

                                  Bridgewater's the best, so technically yeah, there's a dropoff. That's true whenever there's a consensus #1 (which I believe there is this year)... but I also believe by the end of the year there could be 5 first round QBs who could be all be better prospects than E.J. Manuel: Bridgewater, Hundley, and Boyd for sure. If Mariota comes out, I'd say that's four. Manziel is right there. And then there's Fales, Carr, and Stephen Morris, who could all go in round 2. One might even rise to late round 1 (in the traditional trade-up).

                                  So yeah, Bridgewater is #1 (overall)... but it's a really good year to draft a quarterback.

                                    Oh, and I didn't even mention the SEC guys: McCarron, Murray, and Mettenberger. All should be gone by end of round 3.

                                    If everybody comes out, 11 QBs are worthy of drafting no later than round 3. Someone's gonna get pushed down and be a steal, like Aaron Murray.

                                    Stephen Morris might throw the best deep ball in the draft. There's just a ton of talent. At WR, too.

                                      U tellin me Jacksonville wouldn't pony up a 3rd or a 4th for him. My god gabbert may be the biggest bust all time

                                      Why would they? Weeden is older than any QB on their roster.

                                        2-0 with Hoyer. It has to suck to lose the starting job because of injury, however; you have to go with the hot hand. Hoyer has good command in the huddle, and makes good decisions. Weeden may be strong armed, but has no touch on the ball at all! Before anyone says that Weeden didn't have the benefit of Josh Gordon for the first 2 games, well... he had him all last year, and didn't do shit!

                                        Looks like the players are behind him as well:

                                        “I call Hoyer the Hometown Hero. I’m going to start that campaign pretty soon here.” - Phil Taylor

                                        Great story for Hoyer, but you have to wonder what's going through Weeden's head. Clearly a talented athlete, but failed at baseball, and now it looks like he's failing at football. I feel for the guy because he seems genuinely nice.

                                        I can understand that. I don't hate Weeden as a person. I mean, he probably is a nice guy, but from a football perspective drafting him in the 1st round was a reach. It's probably a big reason as to why Jimmy Haslam punched Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert's tickets out of town!

                                        .. or a close 2nd to drafting TR with the #3 overall...

                                        H&H were in panic mode from the get-go... trading up one friggin' spot to draft a RB... grabbing a 27 yo college QB...

                                        Still makes me ill to think of it....

                                        Wheezy can put touch on the ball... we've seen him do it. But only when he is not under pressure.

                                        The guy has to think on the field... has no instinct for the position. If he does not see an open receiver, he cannot pull the trigger.

                                          Don't sweat it either way. Just don't take part. It works fine when the conversation flows where it flows.
