Either A:
The Adoug tank theory is in full effect (what I believe is the case)
Or B:
Front office is pressuring Hue to get at least a couple wins to keep his job, so he put in the vet to try and win the game
Overall, a terrible decision that sends such a bad message to the team
Cody Kessler: 2 turnovers all season
Josh McCown: 3 turnovers today

I think it's the tank theory, no way Hue should have put in anti-clutch McCown in the game when Kessler was doing fine.
-
Unless Kessler had explosive diarrhea or some shit, this was one of the dumbest, limp dick things I've seen in a while
-
I'm starting to feel really bad guys...

This was the worst loss I can imagine! What do the players say to each other after Hue pulls Kessler for playing well? What do they think? And McCown in the end zone getting two balls batted down in a row! He didn't look like he was trying! Look at the way he was side arming in the end zone?
The rookies need better leadership than Hue Jackson. This was a complete melt-down of a head coach on national tv. Things couldn't get any worse when your coach makes a QB switch and destroys the momentum after the half!
Putrid! Hue has to go now! Let anyone coach the team! Let my dead grandmother coach this team!
Now we know why Oakland fired him after one season! If Haslam has any brains he will fire Hue tonight and let Tabor handle the rest of the season!

Kess bailed early a couple times and looked rattled. Hindsight might be one thing but at the time bringing in the vet while you settled down the rookie isn't a terrible move.

He had an interception as soon as he entered the game. You have to believe that Kessler was developing a chemistry with Pryor and the receivers. So naturally, you take him out of a game when he's in control and not struggling. God forbid they compete! I hate to admit it but Hue is worse than Pettine! And as for tanking the season; Why? They're not going to draft a difference maker anyway or they'd have Derek Carr and Khalil Mack!Either A:

Conclusion: Jimmy Haslam and the front office is on LSD!

0-9, desperate team, desperate coach in a close game. By now the losses weigh very heavy on you.

Well Cody could not get it done. And that the coach had no choice but to put in McCown!

and he is correct.
Kessler ate a few sacks when he could have thrown it away, and had trouble getting the ball downfield except
on the TD.
The first two turnovers - Joe Thomas took his guy around the back of the pocket, and McCown never
stepped up into it, and got his arm slapped while throwing. There was a nice little area to step up in, but he stayed
back. That is not good. Kessler will end up being a terrific backup qb, I think, like McCown. My dumb opinion is,
the Browns need to draft a qb in the next draft. Trubisky comes to mind, but it's very early.
I really liked the play of the front seven on defense, but the secondary is toast. Teams know that after halftime,
they can let loose with their passing game, and the Browns secondary has to play back, because they aren't
able to play up close. Just not skilled enough against the ratbirds' wr's. The Browns offensive line is the other
weak point.
Putting McCown in, with his experience, was not a bad thing. It just didn't make any difference. The oline was
manhandled, McCown didn't step up into the pocket, Kessler kept not throwing the ball away. It doesn't help
that that was a flagrant pass interference on a pass to Coleman?... no call. And maybe it wasn't, but I have
NO freaking idea why that wasn't intentional grounding on Flacco. No call.
the secondary is hopeless talent wise, and the oline needs a blue chip center, ROG, and RT. At least
two out of three. I'd rather see the secondary play man to man coverage. If they get beat for TD's, so be it.
But laying back so far off the receivers... come on. Nobody else plays the Browns wr's like that.

This was a bad move by coach Jackson. It sucks. Learn from it. Move on. This alone is not reason to turn on him. He's learning along with our players, along with our front office, along with our owner.
Be patient.

And I totally disagree with tiam and cal that this was a good move. This completely took the air out of the entire team. You could tell they were all like "wtf?" and the defense, in addition to being in a state of questioning the move, then had to go play after McCown pretty much immediately throws a pick.
That'll deflate you.

Absolute nonsense. They cant pick and choose, they rid of us of any "experience" so why would you not run with the no experience?

Spark? ROTFL Tour. McClown was the ABC multi-purpose fire extinguisher on any momentum we had. Did Hue tell Cody- "Look real close son, THAT'S how you lose a game."
0-9, desperate team, desperate coach in a close game. By now the losses weigh very heavy on you.
They ain't heavy, they're my brothers. Hey Hue, we're ten games in- you mantra "we have to play better" don't mean shit.
Let us not also forget about having to call a TO before the first play of the game because we had 12 men on the field...... < That, and benching your 3rd round "Trust Me" pick of the future are 2 prime examples of how not to coach in the NFL.
Two TOs in the first 5 minutes- just special.
