  • Can't win games if the receivers drop 8 fucking passes...

    I hate this losing shit as much as the next bloke,  but this kid is a rook..

    He's not going to be Tom Fucking Brady in the first 3 weeks of the season..

    His game is flawed, no doubt. He holds the ball too long and turns it over. But he does have a cannon for an arm, just needs to learn how to be more accurate.

    It doesn't help when the defense stinks ass the first half and allows 28 points...

  • Hue needs to get an O-Coordinator because his play calling has been shit...

  • Can't win games if the receivers drop 8 fucking passes...

    Glad someone else besides me is calling attention to the poor defensive play that puts the rookie QB in a bad "comeback" position. Hopefully when Collins and Garrett are playing at their best, this having to play from behind will end. And maybe Hue will assign someone else to be the clock manager if he insists on being OC. Right now no one is.

    Hue is reminding me of Marty back in 1988, when Marty stubbornly refused to get an offensive coordinator. 

    Ya know, that's what I think Hue is.  An OC.  Kinda' like Josh McDaniels, the dope that drafted Tebow in round 1.  Or Crennell.  It happens a lot.  They're best at their coordinator positions.

    -------

    Let's explore the Garoppolo option.  -  How desperate could Sashi become before the trade deadline of Halloween approaches.  Say we've got zero wins in mid October.....and the wrath of Haslam is starting to appear in his eyes. (we KNOW how he is deep down)  Could a move be made by the Harvard Think Tank as a ditch effort to try and save their jobs?

    And how stupid would Bill Belichick be to throw away the Heir Apparent to Tom Brady at this point in his career?

    Yeah...I get that playing Kizer has to happen to see what he has.....and I get that we aren't winning anything this year, so what the heck...

    But...I absolutely HATE not doing everything you can to win....every game....hate it, hate it, hate it.....its bad for the players and its bad for the fans.....

    Right now I have more problems with how our defense is not playing than I do with a rookie QB who is playing a little better than I actually expected when compared to all the other great QBs who also struggled their first year or so. If the defense could get to playing better, all these complaints would end with a few narrow victories.

    Agree completely.   They have let two very good WRs....A. Brown and T.Y. Hilton beat them practically single handed in both games. Either the coverage schemes on these guys is for shit....or the player guarding him were just getting their asses whipped.....or, likely, both.

    Now, in the second half, they contained Hilton....but, WTF did they do to change things....and why didn't they start out doing those things.?

  • TCPO, when are we going to get your actual takes on Kizer? 

  • So, whaddya wanna do?  Kizer's performances are getting worser and worser.  (english major wanted)

    a)  Stay the course.  Continue with Kizer.  He's a 21 year old rookie.  This was expected (or should've been expected) and is something he has to 'grow' though.

    2)  Bench Kizer and bring in Colonel Hogan to appease our resident Poet.  

    c)  Start Kessler and play more of a ball control type of game.

    4)  Trade for The Ostrich.

    e)  Play the emergency QB, Higgins.

    6)  Ring up Belichick and offer half our team for Garoppolo.

    -----------------------------

    I guess I'm sticking with number 'a'.  Roll with Kizer and evaluate him as the year goes on.

    First, love the alternating alpha-numeric choice listing... well done.

    Second... "a" is the choice. The die is cast. The course has been plotted.

    Just please, Hue, sit with the lad a spell after each series. This is the 2nd time I've asked... don't make me ask again.

    @poeticg said:

    I don't agree with starting Kizer any longer. I'm going with option B.

    Shocking! 😉

  • Option B. It's on another page so let me guess. Starts with an H, ends in an N and has something to do with Heroes? 😆

  • It's so fucking funny that some of you guys are dismissing Hogan as being able to be the guy since you already know what he can do and you've seen him play what 1 quarter?

    Yet, the same people have seen Kizer play 3 full games, except for time he sat out a quarter cause he had a headache. 

    So you guys have watched Kizer throw what 7 interceptions, overthrow receivers, underthrow receivers, delay of games, getting sacked, missing open guys... pretty much completely sucking, yet, you are going to talk shit on Hogan?

    You'd think you wouldn't have to ask this of a 'QB Guru'.  So, therefore, he's NOT a QB guru.

    I understand that he's the HC also...and has HC stuff to do during games....but the QB position is about as important as it gets to a team.  Going over stuff just after the stuff happens is the best time to do it.  It's fresh in the mind...along with the emotions.

    With Brissette traded, it's really not a possibility anymore.  It would literally take trading half our team.  And belleyache wouldn't even WANT half our team.  Who would?

  • Hue has saddled his horse, now he's gotta ride it....... The 21yr old was destined to struggle from his 1st snap and he has, but there is nowhere to go but up and now we just need to see how high Kizer's ceiling is and how fast he can get there.

    without any play makers well except for duke it's going to be tough to see what he can do

    TBD

    Some years ago someone, I can't recall who....but an NFL GM...advocated that a team should draft a QB every single year.  The analytics that Depo and Sachi use may say the same thing.  With the draft picks they accumulate, I see no problem with that....as long as they have enough to fill holes at other positions.

    This is typical Browns mentality PO. Throw the QB under the bus after he has a couple bad games. If Hue thought Hogan gave him a better chance to win games, he'd be starting. You don't think on a realistic level- Hue knows he has to win at least four games this year, or there's a mighty good chance he's going to get fired? The coaches watch everything, break down every play, and see these guys every day in practice. My wild guess is Kizer has at least 3 more chances to prove he sucks (maybe 5 till the bye) before you're going to get your wish- barring injury. 

    FYI- I've already said I wasn't enamored of Kizer at Notre Dame, he's still playing the same way I saw in college, and I actually like what I've seen out of Hogan. I'm not coaching the Browns- and neither are you. Deshone continues to suck- you're going to see Kevin in due time. Unfortunately, it will probably be when the season is beyond salvaging. BTW, that's already the case at 0-3 (looking at 0-4) it's time to start looking at next year's draft prospects.

    Only PoG thinks that putting Hogan in  at this point is any kind of an idea.  He is on one of his man crushes over him.  I mean, he must look at him and like see Kaley Cuocco or something. 

  • Salvaging? Salvaging what? Unless we are in playoff contention, what is there to salvage?

    Here's reality... We did not enter this season with a chance to make the playoffs. Here's more... We started looking at 2018 QBs and every other position when we were 0-0.

    The only time we will see Hogan, is if either:

    • Kizer can't start due to injury, or...
    • we've seen enough and he's simply not the guy... my earliest estimation for this is Week 13.

    2017 is the year of evaluating Kizer. Until that job is done he starts.

    I feel ya Hoorta, I do. But I really don't think that Hue has a clue. 

    If it is how you say it is, then why start Osweiler above the other guys the first Preseason game? Why did Hogan not even get the chance to play and then surpass Kessler on the depth chart. Was this decided on how Hogan played on Gameday and not determined while they were practicing all off season? It has clearly been muffed, or mishandled by Hue to begin with. 

    So, I don't know. What I do know is if Hogan had started the season we had a chance to be 3-0. He would have cleaned up in Indy. He could have given us a better chance against Pit, and if  he have been left in the Baltimore game- he just might have won that one too. 

    PIT and BAL have a 2 game lead on us and CIN is ahead by just one game. We are not out of this yet. We CAN catch them and make this season a success. 

    Hell, if we beat CIN this weekend then we are moving up one spot and BAL and PIT are just one game ahead... unless they win, but they look weak and vulnerable so I think we can take them next time if we get our shit together.
