    Here is what I'm going to say then I'm going to leave it. You know more what you have in year 2 than year one. Because of that I'll admit we Shmucked up with Wentz, who looks lime he will be at worst an above average starting AN. However if your going to second guess a team for not taking a mobile QB working on a simplified offensive game plan with 4 starts, I'm going to say look at RGIII. We saw this song and dance. He had an amazing rookie season, but as soon as they started to try and turn him into an actual NFL starter he crumbled. Like with Wentz, I'll wait till year two to say whether or not we screwed up.

      Kizer is a 21 year old kid with all of three years of college experience, one of them being a red-shirt season.

      It's not his fault that this franchise rushed him onto the field with craptastic talent around him. I don't know what his future is, but I'm very confident that his present was handled poorly.

      Some people seem to totally miss or choose to ignore points like WRs that can catch, a cohesive OL, dependable RBs  (partly an OL thing) among other things. 

      Oh god I just realized that baseball season is really over, must discuss the BROWNS!  😮

        Always felt the bar was set to low at being able to drop back from under Center, get playcalling and command of the huddle. But once the decision to start him was made, the die was cast... for better or worse it was cast.

        A breather, an intermission over a tough stretch of games may turn out to be a wise move... but I'm not feeling it.

        Reasonable take... issue is we have a deadline in this next draft. It'd be nice if we knew whether or not we are set at QB.

          conspiracy time.

           with the embarrassment of seeing how badly their hand-picked quarterback performed against the weakest teams in the league either the coach or the front office made the decision to start the fan favorite second string quarterback against one of the better defenses.

          To show two things:

          1 that Hogan is quite capable of looking bad and affording themselves and I Told You So moment and

          2 keeping Kizer from looking even worse especially in  direct comparison with a quarterback (another new fan favorite)  they passed on.

          (Btw I'm not necessarily buying into this theory just crossed my mind)

          It would make sense if we had any talent anywhere on the roster.

            The real QB conspiracy revolves around the reports as to who Hue really wanted. Watson says Hue texted him prior to pick 12 to be ready. Another report says Hue said after Wentz's pro day it was he best pro day he'd ever seen. Doesn't sound like a coach who wanted to draft Kizer or a coach who believed Wentz didn't have it. Sort of starting to reek of bad analytics.

                No kidding. If one of the reasons we hire Jackson is because he's supposed to know quarterbacks and then Harvard moron overrules him to the detriment of the team it's time for football people to pick football players. Well it always was but even more important now.

                    I understand and literally feel your skepticism lol, lets not forget the report about Watson comes directly from Watson. Does not seem to me to be the kind of thing you make up.

                      Fair enough... as I said elsewhere, as in the thread on the "report", before we got the call from the Texans, Watson very well could have been heading towards being the pick.

                      Would you have spent what the Texans did on the pick? Two #1's?
