    He's having the struggles a rookie QB, with no vet presence, is going to have. As long as we don't "break" him, we should continue to get him experience. We  aren't playing for anything this year anyway. Unless they truly believe Hogan is the future, Kizer should continue to start.

    They should bench Kizer and Peppers.  Lets cut our losses and go with the best players.

      Can someone please explain to me this ceiling that only Kizer has? Why are lots so certain he is our future? I just don't see it. Why can't Hogan be the future?

      Both times we hit the red zone early with Kizer I just expected something to go wrong. As soon as I saw Hogan get in the game I expected to march down the field and score. I was right. Am I the only one that gets these feelings? 😉

        I don’t think he has it right in terms of Hogan being a franchise guy but he’s certainly shown that he knows this offense enough to move the chains.

        Its no different than starting a guy like McCown.

        Yeah what a stupid idea to want a better quarterback under center.  Even if you are committed to Kizer in the long run wouldn't it be a better idea to have a serviceable quarterback who has a good grasp of this  questionable offense ,have a better team, and have someone with the attitude conducive to teaching a young player the ropes?  

        Unless your main goal is getting that first pic in 2018?

          I agree he's better for us than Kizer.  i wouldn't compare him to McCown.  McCown gets the ball down field much faster than any of our QBs, the only question is his mobility.  I heard yesterday during the game that Hue wanted McCown to hang around and coach Kizer.  I think that would've made him much more appealing to the fans.  But putting him in raw, just not working.

            Honestly, Im not sure why so many people are certain that Hogan isnt the answer.....

            I hear he's not mobile....yet seems to run better than most other QB's.....heck, he ran for 100 yards in a game last season...remember?

            He's got decent size at 6'-3" 220#.......

            He clearly has moved the team better than Kizer and Kessler.....

            And he's only played in about 4 games his entire career.....

            How can you write off a guy who's performed every time he's played, yet hasnt even been given a single start in his career?

            Yesterday, Hue called him a back up and made the excuse that Kizer is just a rookie....well. Id tell you that Hogan is just as "rookie" as kIzer is......and has had less reps and game opportunities than Kizer....yet, has FAR AND AWAY outplayed him.....

            What is it about Hogan that says he cant be a better QB than Kizer??.....the arm?.....cause we all know strong arms do not a QB make....

              They say that Hogan is dink and dunk passer and Kizer has that long ball strong arm thing going on......BUT....

              The numbers say that Kizer averages 5.4 yds per pass play and Hogan averages 9.9 yds per pass play....(which is #2 in the league, btw)(and almost double Kizers avg)

              The numbers give Kizer a 49 rating and Hogan a 104 rating.....(yesterday he ranked #4 in the league....with the worst OC and WR's money can buy)....(was sitting right there with Aaron Rodgers).....

              Is this the twilight zone?.....play the man and see if he falls to earth.....or excels.....it's happened before, but you have to give him a chance to see......

                Kizers development is in a consistent downslide.....

                Game 1 = 85 rating - 66% comp

                game 3 = 50 rating - 47% comp

                game 5 = 38 rating - 47% comp

                Hogans development is in a consistent UPswing.....

                Game 1 = 58 rating - 45% comp

                game 2 = 88 rating - 62% comp

                game 3 = 122 rating - 84% comp

                Same players....same coaches.....same competition....ONE guy is clearly "developing" and one guy is clearly "sucking"....

                Can you guess which is which???

                  I haven't seen a Browns QB actually throw with anticipation for years.  We've seen so many hold on to the ball too long (Kizer, Kessler, McCown, RG3, Manziel, Weeden and whoever else in between).  They all held on to the ball too long and took too many sacks.  Hogan's throws have been pretty accurate too. Maybe teams will adjust to him and he won't play as well if they prepare for him but hell, give him a shot.

                      This. 

                      If Hue starts Hogan it's because he is worried about his job.

                        In terms of processing, Kizer is just taking way to long. Almost like he wants the guy to be open to make a pass, so indecisive 

                        Hogan, just the opposite, throws the ball before the break, puts the ball where he expects the receiver to be. 

                        Hue, worried about a chip shot on that field goal? Christ, he makes it and just maybe it boosts his confidence  smh

                              I got this feeling. Once upon a time there was this rocket arm qb playing for the Redskins by the name of RG III. Needed more time to "develop" because he was a high pick. IIRC, he got his coach fired becase of it. The 'Skins happened to have this QB on the bench by the name of Kirk Cousins (4th round pick BTW). The rest they say is history. Kirkie is going to be the most in demand FA next year.

                              Um, Hogan was a 5th round pick & has outperformed the anal-litics chosen one at every opportunity. Que up the Twilight Zone music.

                                    Can someone please explain to me this ceiling that only Kizer has? Why are lots so certain he is our future? I just don't see it. Why can't Hogan be the future?

                                    Both times we hit the red zone early with Kizer I just expected something to go wrong. As soon as I saw Hogan get in the game I expected to march down the field and score. I was right. Am I the only one that gets these feelings? 😉

                                    I got this feeling. Once upon a time there was this rocket arm qb playing for the Redskins by the name of RG III. Needed more time to "develop" because he was a high pick. IIRC, he got his coach fired becase of it. The 'Skins happened to have this QB on the bench by the name of Kirk Cousins (4th round pick BTW). The rest they say is history. Kirkie is going to be the most in demand FA next year.

                                    Um, Hogan was a 5th round pick & has outperformed the anal-litics chosen one at every opportunity. Que up the Twilight Zone music.

                                    I always felt our QB.. Whomever that turns out to be. Would come from obscurity....

                                      Honestly, Im not sure why so many people are certain that Hogan isnt the answer.....

                                      I hear he's not mobile....yet seems to run better than most other QB's.....heck, he ran for 100 yards in a game last season...remember?

                                      He's got decent size at 6'-3" 220#.......

                                      He clearly has moved the team better than Kizer and Kessler.....

                                      And he's only played in about 4 games his entire career.....

                                      How can you write off a guy who's performed every time he's played, yet hasnt even been given a single start in his career?

                                      Yesterday, Hue called him a back up and made the excuse that Kizer is just a rookie....well. Id tell you that Hogan is just as "rookie" as kIzer is......and has had less reps and game opportunities than Kizer....yet, has FAR AND AWAY outplayed him.....

                                      What is it about Hogan that says he cant be a better QB than Kizer??.....the arm?.....cause we all know strong arms do not a QB make....

                                      I'm with you on this one. I'm not gonna revise history and say I was fully on POG's train like many probably will, but I did agree with him that Hogan wasn't given much of a shot to earn the job and he is intriguing.

                                      And now everyone says we know Kizer's ceiling is higher. Based on what? I have no idea. I do think Kizer can be good, but so can Hogan, and right now Hogan's better, so he should play.

                                        Yup, Kizer is in a tailspin. With 11 games left, give the next 6 or so to Hogan unless he falls apart the way Hoyer did after getting everyone’s hopes up. After six weeks if Kevin looks like the guy, keep rolling him, if not see if Deshone has come around.  best case scenario the Browns would shock the world to win 3 games, so we’re in for another long season regardless of who hue decides to play.

                                          Kizer needs to sit and Hogan needs to start as the true #1 QB.  The concern over Kizer's psyche is irrelevant.  It's obvious that Hogan gives the Browns a much better chance to score points.  At this point I'm worried a lot more about the psyche of the team if Kizer continues to play.  Players play to win - and the current history of losing needs to be stopped.  Otherwise many of the most talented Browns players will walk when they hit free agency and sign with teams that they perceive will actually be competitive - leaving the Browns to plug the holes with rookie draft picks and waiver wire acquisitions.  Rinse, repeat.
