If he performs well and wins this week, it will seriously start the talk of not needing to draft a QB next year (remember Lombardi loves Hoyer).

Agree, Mark... at least not needing a to draft a franchise QB.

The more Hoyer wins, the more you can forget a first round QB and the more we look for a 2nd to 4th round prospect with upside.

Uuu ooh. I think I smell a future PG crush on Hoyer. Hopefully its justified.

Nah... just a rebound infatuation...

well if he beats the Bengals?? At what point of a hoyer loss does everyone surrender and say might want to see what weeden does the rest of the year with Gordon and company.

If weeden is out like it looks like he WILL find work in the NFL.

BTW I'm not into the whole hometown boy bullshit. We've seen that crap crash and burn twice. I'm not rooting more for a guy because he grew up around here.

As Zombo opined- Hoyer will get at least the Bengals and Bills games to show what he's got. If he totally sucks, Chud probably wil go back to Weeden. The handwriting is on the wall though- the Browns Brass thinks Weeden isn't the answer either. A strong arm with minimal quarterbacking skill can equal a long career as a backup- just ask DA.

I assume you mean Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn....and not Bernie Kosar?

EDIT: See below Gip- I almost never mess with someone else's posts- but I had to clarify & correct- I boogered up my reply to cd15. I'll claim this as my excuse- had a flu shot yesterday that had me feeling like I had the flu- bad reaction.

Like it was mentioned before, this will be the real test for Hoyer. If he can pull off the win versus the Bengals, a much better defensive team, then I think he will lock down the starting job for the rest of the year. I do think that no matter what happens except for going to the AFC Championship game or to the Super Bowl then we will be drafting a QB next year.

Nothing to "justify" with Hoyer. He didn't play well against a poor Vikings club no matter what people hope. If Campbell replaces him with Weeden on the mend, to try and scrap out of the Bengals game, it would not surprise me.

If Hoyer wins enough games this year to throw us into the playoffs... QB be damned in the draft. Hoyer will be the guy going forward. If we miss the playoffs then we will take a top QB. We will most likely go for a CB/FS with one of our top 2 picks next year. I think that regardless of what we think we need we will probably take the best player available at the time. If it's a tie then I'm betting it would go to a position of need.

With a short week between games, I'd think it's almost a lock he also gets the start against the Bills unless he shits the bed on Sunday against the Bungles.

Wrong... We will draft a QB, but if Hoyer is legit then we don't have to trade our whole draft to move up and get a top QB. We could get one with our 2nd 1st rounder, our 2nd rounder, or even in the 3rd and maybe not have to throw them into the fire right away.

I would think this means he is getting two more starts, minimum, because if Weeds isn't practicing this week, they aren't going throw him in there on a short week next Thursday.

Has all the elements of a Cleveland-style Hollywood story IF he is able to turn this into something real.

Good luck, kid.

Zombo

I'm definitely pulling for him.

Chud officially said Hoyer is starting just FYI:

Thanks

I'm digging Hoyer right now. Don't know the odds we have at having him start next season, but a qb with a cleveland pedigree and winning games, makes for an entertaining season.

not one delay of game penalty, let alone damaging offensive penalties as a whole.

Chud Knows good QB play when he sees it

This might be a stupid question. But was Hoyer officially announced the starter? We have to assume he is, but there was some discussion about plugging in Campbell.

i think the fact that they brought in hoyer, then they started him over campbell means they are looking at this kid in hopes he could be the real deal. i'm not sure but i don't think he was here here to compete in training camp.

they already know what they have in campbell, so this is hoyer's chance to show the FO what he can do against real competition (sorry vikes fans).
