  • Once again Hoyer is not the long term guy. Couldn't be more obvious that he's AT HIS BEST just an ok QB. He has never done one thing in a Browns uniform that resembles an Elite QB. Never hitch your wagon to a suspect arm and accuracy issues because they'll always come back to kill your team.

    The longer Hoyer starts the WORSE it is for the Browns. We're only delaying progression for Manziel and progression from the FO in knowing if they have something in Manziel or have to keep looking. Hoyer is out there playing only for himself (Do you really think the minute we beat Pittsburgh the "rumors" of Hoyers contract demands started? Nope, Hoyer asked for all those things, said all those things and even went a week not denying it before giving a non-answer on it that some seem to read as a denial. Hoyer has publically said "I'd rather be promised a starting job then stay in Cleveland" he's 100% about himself).

    Theres this weird hope around here that I guess, what....we make the 6th seed? Is that what you're praying for? 8-8? I don't know what your dreams are but they're not contending for a Super Bowl this year and delaying figuring out the next 3-5 years for this franchise is only hurting it.Hurts draft picks, hurts development. This "Go with whoever helps us win each week" is extremely shortsighted. This is a building process. People want to act like we have a complete product that just needs to go out there and win. No we need to build. Position ourselves for a several year run, not just sniff the playoffs this year and cause utter chaos in the offseason.

    You promise the vets you'll try to win, and Hoyer is by far the best option if you want to "win each week" but he's killing the development of this team and disrupting the process by being very average and then demanding things. Once it becomes clear to everyone that the playoffs isn't happening, Hoyer needs to go, he's not the guy, never will be the guy for anybody, and we need to find out if Manziel (or even the crush of some of you around here Connie Shaw) is the guy. The longer we wait to find that out, the absolute worse for the Browns.

    Look no further then the Jags, who gave up over 100 points in 8 quarters earlier in the year, who held Hoyer to only 6 points. Chad Henne is much better of a QB then Bortles right now, but they realize they're not helping anything by delaying Bortles development. If they wanted to win more games Henne is the guy, but if they want to build something meaningful, then you need Bortles to learn now. They realize "Hey we're not winning a Super Bowl, so we need to give ourselves a chance in the future" and yet the Browns seem to be stuck in between in this weird "We're not paying attention to the future, just this week, only this week matters" mindset and that does ZERO good for a team trying to build something. Zero.

    The fact people on this board can't see that is amazing to me.

    What the fuck elite team is this man holding back? The Browns are an average team. Slightly above average with effort and discipline. We have question marks at WR, TE, Dline and Oline depth. We lack playmakers outside of a healthy Cameron and the oft suspended Gordon. Please stop making this sound like 2012 Kansas City with 8 pro bowlers and the only issue being the QB spot.

    The Browns have gone this route before. Throw a rookie QB to the wolves when the surrounded cast isn't quite there. I might be in agreement with this when Gordon comes back, but certainly no sooner. The Jags are doing Bortles no favors and I'll be a miracle if that kid isn't shell shocked by the end of his sophomore season.

    are you some uneducated dimwit? i mean what tree did your mom drop you out of?

    do you REALLY THINK (in your world who knows) that a coach in the NFL today knowing that he can lose his job at the drop of a hat after moving his family to a new city, brought people with him (coaching staff and friends) would risk all of that for a guy to start as your QB if he's not the best possible option? when are you going to get it through your big fucking numbskull that there is no conspiracy against manziel? obviously the kid isn't ready or doesn't know shit from shineola. fuck. if he's that good let him start. i want to see him run better than our RBs are running. just don't think he could take the hits. or let hoyer be a wide-out and let him throw him an illegal pass down the sidelines. or how about using him as the holder on field goal attempts where he could always get the ball, run or throw?

    guess he can't even do that.

  • paraphrasing a bit much. Don't know one qb in the history of the NFL (including JF) that wouldn't say the same thing. I wouldn't have a player on my team that didn't compete that way. Cause they all say "I'm going to turn down a starting gig worth a starters contract to help a team win from the bench making considerably less money."

    I wouldn't want a QB on my roster that had goals any lower than being a starting QB. You only get so many years to play the game, can't blame Brian or any competitor in the sport for wanting to play and make the biggest contribution possible.

    That being said, I'm sure being the starting QB on the Cleveland Browns would be his #1 choice. Hopefully it's Manziel's #1 choice too. Do you think Manziel would rather be a backup QB on the Browns? Or start somewhere else.

    Everyone's stirring up trouble about this for no reason, IMO. Let the man play some football. He seems more passionate about the team than anybody, and that's a good thing.

    that statement doesn't mean he made a demand that Manziel needs to go. He's saying he wants to start and that he'd rather be a starter somewhere else than a backup in Cleveland. I understand that, not mad at that at all. "BUT", if part of his contract negotiations is that he wants Manziel out of Cleveland...well than I dunno. I really wonder if the guys in the lockeroom read that and know somehow that there was truth to it....could possibly explain why they came out utterly flat.

    Your assessment though that Sundays loss was on Hoyer is stupid though. You might not understand football much and I'm really not trying to be a dick about that. But when your defense is literally putting out some of the worst defensive play seen in years from any team....it shitcans your offensive plan. We all know Hoyer isn't a Rodgers, Brady or Manning type QB that can put 40 points on the board on any given Sunday entirely on his own. We all knew what Shanny's scheme was and that a run game "has" to be established to allow Hoyer to throw over the top. And for a guy who you keep saying has a bad arm...what have you been watching? The dude's been throwing lasers over the top of secondary's all season long. He had a duck on sunday which happened as he was rolling to his right..big fucking deal.

    Wait are you talking to me?

    Hoyer was a big part of the loss on Sunday but as I've said before its a team loss, but what people around here seem to forget is its also a team win, when we win. After Pittsburgh it was a Hoyer love fest around here and he completed 8 passes.

    If you're QB needs the running game to be going great and the OLine to be iron to do better then 39% on 41 passes, then how good is he really? That was an awful game, and Hoyer missed 3 TDs with bad throws and mis reads. One of those would've changed the complexion of that game. The Jags D gave up over 100 points over a 8 quarter span this year, and we score 6 points? Six? and go right into excuse city about how great the Jags D is? They were ranked 27th in pass D on football outsiders. A large chunk of that game was Hoyer.

    And yes Hoyer has a very weak arm, and no he doesn't throw "lasers of the top" he floats balls that have cost us points because WRs who have broken free have to stop and wait and catch them like a punt. There is not a single pundit that has watch Brian Hoyer and talked about how strong his arm is. He has a weak arm, and he's very inaccurate. Thats the book on Hoyer.

  • Oh and any talk of Pettine going anywhere is asking the Browns to move again. Real talk. We're at a point now where another one and done coaching change could ruin the franchise for decades to come. All of you might as well just become Bengals fans.

    What does a coaching change have to do with the Browns moving?

  • first off Hoyers been "laser" accurate since his games last year. I seriously don't know what you're watching. The one thing we didnt' really know was how good his arm was. I didn't realize it was as good as it was. He's not throwing "floaters" at all. He's throwing 40-50 yds strikes that get to the receivers quickly. Not sure if he can heave the ball 80 yds but who cares? we don't need that. Utterly laughable though to say he's inaccurate. Jags game was the first time we saw any inaccuracy out of him whatsoever.

    Wait this is sarcasm isn't it.

    Took me awhile but now I see it.

  • the guy throws harder than peyton manning, jay cutler and stafford. when he's 'on' he's throwing hard ass darts that only some receivers can deal with. a lot of times i'm asking myself why throw that hard? sometimes you need touch. THAT'S what he needs to work on.

    the losers that are saying hoyer is the issue here are just that.............losers.

    If you're QB needs the running game to be going great and the OLine to be iron to do better then 39% on 41 passes, then how good is he really? That was an awful game, and Hoyer missed 3 TDs with bad throws and mis reads. One of those would've changed the complexion of that game. The Jags D gave up over 100 points over a 8 quarter span this year, and we score 6 points? Six? and go right into excuse city about how great the Jags D is? They were ranked 27th in pass D on football outsiders. A large chunk of that game was Hoyer.

    And yes Hoyer has a very weak arm, and no he doesn't throw "lasers of the top" he floats balls that have cost us points because WRs who have broken free have to stop and wait and catch them like a punt. There is not a single pundit that has watch Brian Hoyer and talked about how strong his arm is. He has a weak arm, and he's very inaccurate. Thats the book on Hoyer.

    At least it took till week 7 to have our an bashed. I can think of these punt type throws debunked. Gabriel, our big talented wr just keeps running on a perfectly thrown 50yrd bomb by Hoyer. Instead of badly misjudging that punt I mean pass we win that game. We get it u got a JF Jersey and want to wear it. But like I've said before it's as plain as day the best qb on the team has and will continue to play from here on out. U don't like it then go root for a team that has already hit the panic button like jags or Oakland.

    first off Hoyers been "laser" accurate since his games last year. I seriously don't know what you're watching. The one thing we didnt' really know was how good his arm was. I didn't realize it was as good as it was. He's not throwing "floaters" at all. He's throwing 40-50 yds strikes that get to the receivers quickly. Not sure if he can heave the ball 80 yds but who cares? we don't need that. Utterly laughable though to say he's inaccurate. Jags game was the first time we saw any inaccuracy out of him whatsoever.

    Wait this is sarcasm isn't it.

    Took me awhile but now I see it.

    are we getting some cross dimensional interference here? maybe your Cleveland Browns are slightly different than our Cleveland Browns....makes sense.

  • the guy throws harder than peyton manning, jay cutler and stafford. when he's 'on' he's throwing hard ass darts that only some receivers can deal with. a lot of times i'm asking myself why throw that hard? sometimes you need touch. THAT'S what he needs to work on.

    the losers that are saying hoyer is the issue here are just that.............losers.

    Not to say that our receivers have been bad, they haven't. But imagine giving hoyer any of those guys' weapons - big athletic targets better than what we have.

    Hoyer has been pretty accurate...As good as he needs to be until last week. Off day (for the whole team...) And going into the jax game the guy had 1 turnover in 100 attempts... and it was basically a 3rd down punt.

    The only other game besides Jax that people are questioning his accuracy is the stoolers game, where we won 31-10 if I remember right - and 7/8 of Hoyer's completions were 20+ yards (other one 17). Our offense didn't stuggle because of his terrible accuracy in that game.
