    Hoyer was successful, until a certain point in the season. What changed? Josh Gordon came back. That is what changed. Shannihans play calling and Hoyer's reads changed when Gordon came back. He is the reason for Hoyer's failure. Gordon tokes up again and never touches the field, Hoyer is still a Brown.

      Yes indeed the return of Josh Gordon was no godsend.

        Yeah Gordon didn't help the situation at all.

          Here's the thing...

          Yes, that is true, but let's not forget the five game stretch where Hoyer completely unraveled. It wasn't pretty, and it was heartbreaking to a fan base that desperately wanted him to succeed. Not helping matters was having Manziel on the bench, a player that presented potential and athletic ability, not to mention a more reliable deep ball. Does anyone remember the passes Hoyer missed for deep completions? The open TD's? How disoriented he appeared at times? I'm not placing all the blame on him, but the relationship between he and Manziel was frosty to say the least, and it was a difficult situation.

          Hoyer is playing pretty well during the past several games, but it's not like he took the league by storm this season. He started by default (when super idiot missed the bus or plane...or whatever it was), then he was benched for being ineffective, and then he got the starting role back again. Hoyer can play at a decent clip when he has the support of a competent defense. I still maintain that he's a good backup because I don't believe he can sustain a high enough level of play for 16 games. However, as a backup...he might be the best in the league, and I'm not knocking that. A reliable backup can mean the difference between making the playoffs or sitting out in January.

          Actually, I'd take Hoyer's play right now 95 qbr. Sure, he hit a dreadful patch the end of last season.

          That he didn't want to mentor Johnny is well documented. He wanted to start- or go elsewhere. Good for him- the Texans are still in the playoff hunt.

            Nothing like getting credit for a win after you were knocked out of the game and trailing 10 to 0

              We should have had Hoyer and McCown. That would have been the ticket. It's the defense that sucks. Farmer needed to draft better and passed on wide receivers. Every team took a wide receiver but us. And I don't count those shrimps he found in free agency or Vincent Mayle who's gone now.

              It's embarrassing to be this bad 15 years after coming back into the league. Teams get better, they trend in the right direction by drafting the best available. Why is that so hard for anyone who works for the Browns to believe? Why do they skip pro days and combines? What's wrong with these arrogant pricks? They always pull a stunt on draft day. The only time the Browns are relevant. Then back to obscurity.

              This current team couldn't beat Clemson

              DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

                Fuck Hoyer. He's history and who gives a shit?

                    I do miss Busters Skrine though.

                    And the Joe Haden that played here last year.

                      I'm just sad that I am no longer permitted to think fondly of Jim Brown...

                      or Jerry Sherk...

                      ... Clay, Sr.

                      Bernie or Brian...
