Kizer
-
Kid looks like the real deal. Yes he made mistakes, but you have to be a fool to think he won't improve. It's his very first game people!
I'll tell you what, it never felt like we had no chance to make a first down. Kizer can deliver the ball in spots other qbs can't. He can get big yardage, he can scramble and run to extend plays. He's been a hair off on several big passes so far in ps and today., but Maybe if he had a wr like Brown who caught everything in his general vicinity, instead of Britt, he'd have won.
Or any running game at all. Most of his issues will be fixed with experience. He seems like a real leader, and the team responds well with him back there.

Despite getting sacked 7 times the Browns were in it the whole game. I wish that I could have seen your face when the Browns converted the 2 point conversion. The Browns gift wrapped 7 points on the punt and Kizer threw a brutal INT to BJ Watt. A rookie QB gave the Steelers a scare.
Garret didnt even play.
I was at the Browns Backers get together with my friends. Ron Fittes, Ron Darling, Mike Fittes and a few other long timers. I told them I fully expected a successful 2 point conversion.................followed by Ben and company making plays to end the game. I boasted that the TD and conversion meant absolutely nothing. SO, the look on my face was calm. I expected it. What I would have liked to see, was the looks on your faces when Ben broke the Browns back with a really well thrown long ball.........
Ahhhhhh................not THOSE would have been some sour faces.
A scare? How was it a scare? he Steelers had the ball and the lead? What scare are you talking about?
You know, this is the same shit with you guys every fucking year. And still, no matter how many times I tell you jackoffs ahead of time EXACLTY what you will say after the loss, you guys STILL say this stupid shit.............
If only we make that play......If the ref doesn't throw that flag, we win.......Take away that one play, and we win. Fuck dude, it doesn't work that way. From the Steeler side there are just as many IF only moments.............he Steelers basically gave the browns 75% of the yards on their last drive. IF THE STEELERS DON'T MAKE THOSE STUPID PENALTIES THEY WIN BY 18 POINTS. IF BEN DOESN'T UNCHARACTERISTICALLY MISS TWO WIDE OPEN WRS ON LONG PASSES, THIS IS A BLOWOUT........
The Browns got beat. They got outplayed. When they needed plays, they had no playmakers. Big Bad Greg Williams sure didn't do anything but kiss Bens nutsack on the last Steeler drive, did he?
7 sacks. All I head for the last 17 years is how we need a great OL. So you got it. What difference did it make in this game? 7 fucking sacks. Why? NO PLAYMAKERS ON OFFENSE. The blocked punt meant nothing. We were punting deep and Ben would have had great field position. The would have driven for a TD in all likelyhood. Then the Browns last TD never would have happened, time woudl have expired.
Look dude, you can't rewrite the fucking game. The Browns got their ass handed to them at home. 0 -1 and the Ravens won't be any easier. Once again, the Browns players got laid out. Without all the bad ref calls, The Steelers win this by 18 points. None of that shit matters. They made plays, they wiped their ass with WIlliams pussy ass defense, and they sacked the living shit out of Black Tarkenton. Seriously, Kizer Blows.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
What the fuck do you guys want out of a 21 year old starting against a Final Four Steeler team in his first time out ... Seriously, wtf?
And yes, Westside Steve, I gave the same leniency to Brady Quinn and Johnny Manziel ... difference is ... I already knew they sucked. This kid is special.

Theres nothing special about him that I saw.. I saw a kid who had all day to throw and held on to the ball , way too long!

Are you sure you were watching the Browns game? He needs to get it out quicker and said so himself. Having said that there were sacks where he didn't have anything like " plenty of time". Also if you didn't see some throws that made you excited about his potential I'm amazed.
-
Kizer looks real. Strong arm, will learn to throw it away if there is nothing there. Based on a small one game sample he looks like the best thing they have come up with.
Oline did not play well, despite the $$$ spent on it.
Pgh had serious rust, esp. Bell. It is selfish to skip training camp.
-
didnt see much pass rush either - although run stopping was real good
take the punt block td away and .....

I've seen a lot of guys with great arms.. Jeff George comes to mind.. I want to see a consistent body of work before christening the kid...

He got sacked 6 times. He holds the fucking ball too long. QB of the future? Are you people out of your fucking minds? His football lifeline is about 9 games long. This fucking guy is going to get physically destroyed. ENjoy him while you can. HE HOLDS ON TO THE BALL TOO TOO TOO,,,,,, WAY TOO FUCKING LONG. That, can't be fixed. He is a dimwit.

Says the guy who pegged Paxton Lynch as the best QB of the 2016 draft. Paxton Lynch, who couldn't beat a 7th round pick for a starting role. QB guru you are not. The kid is smart, but most dumb people don't recognize intelligence when they see it.
-
I definitely think he's a pass first guy. Maybe a little hampered that game with only 3 WR with whom he went through camp. The chemistry will develop. More intriguing than past rookie QBs we've had. Looking forward to seeing more from the guy.

Not that I expected him to be Tom Brady right out of the box but the quarterback Whisperer decided that he is the best quarterback we had in a field of four. So I expect at least decent play which is what we had. I am assuming qw will advise him on the dangers of holding onto the fucking ball forever.
As I said quite a while back I am now on the kids side. He isn't the guy I wanted but he's here now. It will be wholeheartedly in his corner once he beats the Steelers. He doesn't seem like a punk and he looks like he's ready to work hard and learn.
Of my disappointments one is the durability of Myles Garrett and one is the lack of pressure on fucking Roethlisberger. I'd have been happier to see him spend more time on the turf.

Yeah, he has it. Mistakes were made of course but he can be a franchise QB. There's no doubt.

Nah... there's doubt... just less of it than we are used to...
Kizer has a great fastball... but every pitcher needs another pitch and that's what I did not see. Every ball seemed to travel the flattest trajectory possible to its target... or over its target in some cases. Touch is a wonderful thing. Flat and hard just makes any window over the under coverage smaller, e.g., TJW's fine INT yesterday.
Other things a modicum of touch brings to the passing game? Receiver adjustments for one... something we did not see yesterday. Medium and Deep accuracy for another... did we see a downfield Receiver hit in stride yesterday?
But before you can anticipate with touch you have to read the D... and clearly yesterday Kizer was not even asked to read. Hell he wasn't even asked to look beyond his primary on most plays. Most of the time he was not given a secondary target in the half of the field he turned to.
Still... baby steps... there may be a lot there to bring along. No progress since his last preseason appearance is acceptable... Week 1. Afraid it will have to be Week 2 as well on the road in BLT. Week 3 in Indy? Better see more...
And again... for the "get rid of the ball" crowd...
- To get rid of the ball you need to process options... quickly. Kizer is not being asked to do that at this time.
- To dump the ball, you have to be out of the pocket. Teams are going to play to contain Kizer, to keep him in the pocket. That's what the Steelers did. The times when the timer did go off in his head, he had no escape route.
And if you are in the pocket and dump the ball only two things can happen: a flag or an INT.
Positives? Saw some... his mechanics seemed to hold up as did his generalship in playcalling and getting to the LOS.

Great post!

As soon as he emerged as the guy I kept thinking about the Kizer vs Kosar comparisons. Well Bernie had a lot of more college experience including a national championship and might have been a better raw NFL talent but Kizer has some good upside including a fairly good NFL arm. Bernie was also a very young starting QB, it was quite exciting back then but he had an established team around him.
It's still real early in his becoming a good NFL QB, needs his WRs to get even better, a running game to emerge and he has to stay alive for many games yet (sorry we've been through this before ).
Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Good analysis Tour except I would say his baby steps were very good ones . Zombo summed it up that this was a rookie QB playing his first NFL game against the Steelers and overall gave a very good account of himself. He should only get better with more experience. Everything I read about Kizer is that he has excellent work habits and Hue should be able to develop him. Hate to lose to the Steelers but we gave them all they could handle.

You claim it cannot be fixed. Yet such a thing has happened to many, many young QBs....and they were fixed. Why do you think it cannot be fixed in Kizer when so many others were able to do so?
Or is it actually you saying "I know it can probably be fixed...I just don'w want it to be so that I can continue to make myself happy by being an old whiny, griping, cranky, growling malcontent...who feeds off the misery of others".?

For Bernie the switch had already flipped... he could read a D game one. Almost a case of "had to" as he did not have the physical gifts Kizer does. Seems like physical gifts Retard the development of young QBs UNLESS they are sons of QBs or coaches. One thing Bernie had in abundance? Touch...
Good point on the relative teams Bernie and Kizer joined. The '85 Browns were further along than we are.
Good analysis Tour except I would say his baby steps were very good ones .
Thanks... and just to be clear I'm not down on Kizer, but he's got a long way to go.

So....if BR misses long passes...its just fluky. But if Kizer misses long passes its that he is a bad QB. I mean, Jesus, you really are a cuntservative....the kind that lies to everyone...but mostly lies to himself. I mean, have you been to the gynocologist lately...because your menstrual cyle really is off kilter.

Jeff George did not have the work ethic...
Good summary article in The Sporting News... http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/deshone-kizer-cleveland-browns-quarterback-qb-stats-sacks-steelers/1un8i5udifdxp1oac088mkynvt
A couple excerpts... underlining added...
There's no need to anoint Kizer as the guy — future, franchise or any other superlative — after one game. The Browns are starting their second trip through the quarterback alphabet since 1999, and Kizer, i.e. No. 27, showed enough in his debut that Cleveland should be comfortable monitoring his progress. Browns coach Hue Jackson made it clear Kizer earned the right to be in this position.
Kizer didn't get a chance at the end of game, but he prepared as if that would happen. Cleveland fans should be prepared for what's next. This doesn't feel like the false hope given by former first-round picks such as Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden and Johnny Manziel. Couch presided over a 43-0 loss to Pittsburgh in the Browns' return to Cleveland in 1999. Weeden threw four interception in his debut in 2012.
This Week 1 felt different even though it came in a loss. Browns fans have heard that speech 27 times, but perhaps Kizer is that player. Who else played the Steelers this close right away? That's why Jackson emphasized protecting the second-round pick. The defense did its part. Now the protection and running game must follow.
