    To answer op's question, Hoyer should play as long as the team feels they are better with him on the field. It's Pettine's job

    After looking into the DHBF crystal ball, I see Hoyer gone after this season, and Manziel/Shaw fighting for the starting position.

    I hope that if Brian Hoyer is actually gone that the coaching staff....

    Once again, be careful what you ask for, you just might be saddled with it.

    GO BROWNS !

    Once again, as I said in my previous post, we're just discussing possibilities. No one is "asking" for anything. Why do we need to turn a prediction that Hoyer signs elsewhere and a "what if" scenario into someone wishing for something???

    That's true. Like the guy that's been married to the same woman for years; she's a little bit dowdy, not a great cook (but OK) not really sexy (though not a pig) but you know each other well. On the other hand is that 25 year old secretary at work with the big tits and a beautiful smile that keeps asking why you never ask her out.....

    And, even if you dont ever touch her, you definitely should be able to discuss those big titties with your friends 😉

    Why would a so called fan of a football team, create a post ASKING how many games would we have to lose before Hoyer gets benched ? It's called reading between the lines. But to answer that question , probably as many games as it would take to fire Pettine . BTW I didn't say anybody was wishing for anything, I said be careful what you ASK for.

    Kind of a strange analogy but I hear ya. You don't know if the girl with the big tits and the great smile has aids and might burn your house down. Love the one you're with.

  • in the end what we think really doesn't matter does it?

    whatever this FO decides to do i'll get behind it, until something hinky happens. i've liked what i've seen out of farmer and pettine and if a QB change is what they deem necessary then i'll be behind it.

    now i've heard that if hoyer takes 70% of the snaps this year he's due an xtra $2 mil bonus. i would think he'd be close to that percentage with two more starts.

    btw the QB competition in preseason is just a dumb idea, unless of course you have no idea what you have in either/all of your QBs. i believe with hoyer coming back from an injury and having two rookies on the roster this was the only option given to the FO in TC.

    I agree with your last point, but we had a new FO and coaching staff that wasn't sure what they had regardless. (I guess Farmer was here, but how much did he see of practice or hear from Chud about Hoyer, or how much of Chuds word would he take)

  • "" All I can say is that I am willing to put my money where my mouth is...............you?""

    Whatever. Your post is nonsense and now you want to bet. What would the bet be?

  • I'd bet any sum that this statement is false:

    " Johnny will be considered a bust in less starts than Tebow!""

    So you're going to be putting your money on some dudes cock you met outside the gay bar?

    And that would be 16 games, 14 regular season, and 2 playoff appearances, all games started.

  • Once and if we become completely out of contention, I personally don't want Johnny, it is more me just wanting to see what he can do in meaningful game time. (Not that preseason crap). The best possible thing would be that we see Johnny and he plays great and starts in CLE for the next 10+ years. The worst possible thing would be that we trade Johnny away without seeing him in real action and he starts on whatever other team for 10+ years.

    Really?

    I think that's the ideal time to put Johnny in is if they are totally out of it.

    It'll most definitely be a meaningful game to him! Maybe a little less so for the guys around him. It would be some duress, and if you wanna see what the guy's got, that's what you want.

    Totally agree. Who doesn't want to see their 1st round QB play a game? Good or bad, I'd like to see it.

    Hoyer is doing fine. He's had no running game and 5'7" receivers to throw to.

    Oh bull fucking shit.

    Those 5'7 receivers were good enough to beat The Steelers, Bengals, Saints, etc.

    The running game was there until Mack went down and came back vs. The Bengals.

    You don't get to use that excuse at your convenience when they lose and then praise Hoyer when we win. It's cheap and pathetic

    Think though, we actually had a running game in the mentioned games.

    Couldn't run vs Jags. Couldn't sustain run vs Texans.

    When Hoyer doesn't have time to throw it's not pretty, and it usually happens when the run is getting stuffed.

    Those 5'7" receivers are good in space, and they should have plenty more space with Mr Gordon's return.

    I like Hoyer and he's handled himself very well here but in that Jacksonville game he over threw a WIDE OPEN Cameron with no pressure that would have made it 10-0 and also missed a WIDE OPEN Bejmamin for a TD. It was a bad game for the entire team but Brian also was a big part of it.

    Walter, us observant Old Farts have duly noted that. Hoyer's deep ball accuracy (make that inconsistency) is highly suspect. He can throw a perfect pass down the seam- (Cameron in the Steelers game), and then toss a pass in the Texans game (I was there) where you say "who the hell was he throwing to"?

    Some of those deep balls he completed on roll outs early in the season would have been walk in touchdowns if he hadn't badly under thrown the ball.

    That was the first game without Mack and Jacksonville had pretty consistent pressure.. But he needed to make that throw for sure.

    I still think the coaches choice to run on 3rd and short and then PA on 4th and 1 when we coulda went up 9-0 but instead went down 6-7 cost us that one.

    Same mistake made last week when Crowell fumbled when we were about to at least go up 10-7, which was huge momentum wise.

    I think Hoyer is a game manager with inconsistent accuracy. But he can lock in and string some nice throws together as well. I just can't wait to see how he looks with a real #1 to throw to.

    brian hoyer is not a game manager. game managers dont pull together game winning drives like hoyer, game managers don't put up points with a shit receiving crew, below average run game, bad protection, and zero playmakers around him. brian hoyer has all the intangibles, ability, and mentality to be a good to great QB in this league. can't wait to see what he does next year with mack and gordon back and a full off season and some experience with this team. he's going to be in the pro bowl next year

    What if someone else goes down? Are you going to say I can't wait to see what he does in 2016 with a healthy roster?

    My point is that you're never going to have the perfect situation with no injuries or variables.

    And if Hoyer and his agent are going to want top money, they are aren't getting it.

    These last 6 games will determine the fate of Brian Hoyers future with the Cleveland Browns.
