Kessler isn't going to Suck as Bad as We Think
-
If McCown has a "deep sprain" and doesn't need surgery, I think he'll be back sooner than many think. I don't believe it will be in a week or two, but Josh isn't human, and he's TOUGH. If nothing is broken, I'd venture to say that he will be back in a month. Possibly 3 weeks.
We NEED McCown back. He isn't going to mean the difference between a winning or losing season, but he WILL make the difference between the team being "watchable". LOL. He also throws a killer deep ball, and we have several guys that can get deep VERY well...including Mr. Gordon.

I'm sorry, but you've lost your mind. The defense is going to stack the crap out of the box, the running game will be devastated, and Cody will be under so much pressure that his head will spin. Before the game started against Ravens, I told my friends that Josh wouldn't make it through the game. It took just one drive to know I would eventually be correct. Cody will also be sent to slaughter. I hope he makes it, but he's going to get blitzed so much that there will be a stretcher on standby.
We didn't get Dak Prescott. We drafted Cody Kessler. Could Kessler be the savior? The guy that comes from nowhere to stabilize a long suffering position? Sure, anything is possible. But we're the Browns. So you tell me what will happen. My optimism is completely gone. I don't want to be the guy that everybody hates because I spew venom and vitriol, but we're in deep trouble until McCown gets back. I truly hope I'm wrong. I don't remember the last time my spirits were crushed by week 2.
What really hurts is we needed Josh to get an evaluation on some of our rookies. How good did Coleman look with Josh? We need to hope that Josh heals quickly and he doesn't have to miss much time. I'd love to have him back against the Patriots so he can sling it to Mr. Gordon.
I'm sorry guys...I'm just really down. I wasn't under illusions about what our record would be this year, but man...

Honestly, watching the Eagles game last night all I can hope for is Hue setting Kessler up for success like Wentz was. I would love to see the game start out with smart, high percentage throws in the 5-7 yard variety. Quick screens, out routes etc. I would love to see this be 5-6 passes in a row to start the game before a run is attempted. I'm optimistic we'll see that as well. It's not going to light up the scoreboard, but it sets the foundation.
I'm much more concerned about keeping him alive than him shitting the bed to be perfectly honest with you though. If Kessler goes down and Clipboard Jesus goes under center I may just walk out of stadium as I'm not sure my heart could view that shit show live. I'd like to have McCown back quickly as well to have our viable back-up, but if Kessler shows anything the next few weeks I'd rather him take the snaps.

Future Super Bowl winner.
Not on the Browns though lol

Kessler and Hue Jackson....the next Joe Montana/Bill Walsh combination.
Think about it: Bill Walsh....OC for Bengals, gets HC job...like Hue. Kessler a 6'1 3rd round QB....just like Montana.
They have a rough start: 49ers under Walsh and Montana went 2-14 their first year together in 1979.
Two years later, 1981, Super Bowl Champions.
There you go. Read it and weep.

I'm terrified about protecting Kessler. We all know that Josh isn't perfect and he holds onto the ball too long, but man...he never had a prayer and it was difficult to watch him get crunched over and over. Josh is the kind of guy you want with your franchise. I hope he's back soon. I don't want Kessler to get mentally OR physically ruined by the lack of protection.

Kessler won't appear to suck IF Hue has actually bothered to watch last week's game film.. Just throw the ball in 1 second or less and Suh/Wake won't be able to get to him. Belichick isn't bad at this game-planning thing.. just do what he did, Hue. Please.
And the Phins got gashed by Blount running up the middle behind 3 rookie OL's.. Just do the same darn thing.

ROFL, I never said anything even close to that, but HEY if it happens that would be great..
All I'm saying is that Kessler is not going to shit the bed in my opinion. .Sure he is going to be pounded into the dirt this Sunday OR he will be throwing lots and lots and lots and lots of screens, which will result in 3 yard gains to -3 yard gains.. The only chance the kid has is if our wideouts can make themselves a real threat right out of the gate.. If they can do that, they will have no choice but to pull a man out of the box and hope to God our running game can do something...
At 6'1" and 215 to 220 pounds he isn't Big Ben, but then again he isn't Manziel either... He looks durable and as far as I know he wasn't injury prone at SEC.
The kid just needs to make a decision and throw the damn ball for good or for bad. Because losing him will be devastating...
I would expect Hue to start off with lots of 2 tight end sets, where they watch the edges and maybe sneak out for short screens and our wideouts just running straight up the field and see if the Kid can hit them in stride.. Otherwise dump it to a TE and take the 1 yard gain and live to fight another down.
Just don't DIE CODY.... Offensive line ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing their QB's to take such punishment...

From What I could see in the first two games, the primary culprit for that was Erving. Now with him out, we shall see.

the road to 2-14 starts Sunday, Kessler will lead us to glory

Is it just me or does he look like a young Bernie Kosar in this video.. Hmmmm... Maybe we are on to something.

you are exactly correct...at least i have nfl sunday ticket so if the browns become unwatchable again, i'll find something else.

I would just like to see Kessler get the ball out of his hands quickly, limit the turnovers to less than the square root of a cube, and escape the game with no major injuries.

That would be nice, but that's asking an awful lot of our O-lineI would just like to see Kessler get the ball out of his hands quickly, limit the turnovers to less than the square root of a cube, and escape the game with no major injuries.

Wow that is a gameshow smile, Bernie.
He may have a little Bernie-like quality, but he is the same height as another Browns QB.
Maybe he will be a mixture of the two:
-
I hope Kessler does well, I don't like that he's getting tossed to the wolves in week 3 - but we have no choice.

Watched his tape. He is impressive and has a better arm than most people think..
Accurate too..
I think he can be effective in the intermediate routes and might even connect on a deep bomb to Coleman/Pryor.
He will make mistakes, he just needs to limit them and trust his team around him. Crow can get it done on the ground they just need to block and create holes that he can hit! (Giggity)

A deepish, ball or two, even if of the 50/50 variety that we win, will be important. We simply have to stretch the field, something Kess was unable to do in preseason when he averaged just over 3 YPA. Bad enough on its own, but worse when you note he completed 2 out of 3 throws.
Then again he wasn't working with our developing 1's in preseason...
