What we do know is Kessler can't throw any further than a checkdown.

Really don't want RGIII but the bolded text is SPOT ON. I was hoping that was going to be the Farmer plan. Beef up the D. Get a solid O-Line and run game. Then take a shot at a franchise QB

@hoorta said:

Now this would make much more sense if your telling RG he's your QB next season. But instead maybe RG3 reads our scouts were at the Stanford game to scout DE Soloman Thomas/ Mitch who? Shame no Kizer Bowl...what if RG3 can't produce on some Hicksberg backups Sunday? I think Sashi's "Final Say" is well underway.

@mudfly said:

This all day. No matter who the QB is, it's hard to win when defense is giving up 30 points a game. I hope the Browns get some impact defense players in the draft, hoping for Allen with the top pick but we'll see what analytics tells them to do.

Same things said about Chris Palmer........ How's that for warm and fuzzy?

@tour2ma said:

Sashi and the scouting staff were at the Sun Bowl, wonder if they'll take the hour and change flight over to the Fiesta bowl to take a look at Watson.

He will only be starter for less then a quarter before he gets hurt again.

Griffin has outlasted the predictions about how long he'd last before getting hit with another major injury, but his durability is still in serious question.

Preach to the choir brother Mud!

Why?....

1) Im rsigned to the long term rebuild, so whats another year to see if these 2 have it....both have had limited opps

2) Im not sold on any QB's early this season.....and that includes picking any with 1st-2nd-3rd round picks.....

3) We can make a huge impact on our defense this year.....and we should seize the opportunity to do it, instead of rolling dice on projects early.....

If we have our future QB (take your pick of the prospects) penciled in at #10-ish, then what better way to diminish/discourage the trade-up market than to let your HC go on and on about his current starter?

@tour2ma said:

Then none of these guys do makes any sense to me......

We're gonna start and play RGIII as a smoke screen?......when the point of tanking this whole season was to play the young guys who are to be our future?......and were gonna sit Kessler(the just drafted future?) and not play him, when playing the young guys was the whole point of this season?

Nope......me thinks Hue thinks RGIII is good......

@medicineman said:

Easy....you watch him play.....compare him to the other QB's playing under the same circumstance.....see how he executes.....watch his terrible throws.....count his touchdowns....

Players dont have to play on great teams to be evaluated.....truth is, great players play great.....bottom line.....

in preseason, a few games, and then the qb they wanted and got in the draft or trade will have to come in,

and the rest will be history.

@brownsnmopar said:

basically what we did choosing kessler last year.

either it's a #1 this year (franchise guy.....trub or kizer??) or draft the DE or LB. don't waste the #1 on a QB you're guessing on. either kessler is the starter or a career backup.

GO BROWNS!!!

what i did see yesterday was some good defensive play from the kid out of FLA state. the real pros take the field later today. after all is said and done tomorrow will give us a better view of direction browns need to go.

We could be sitting months from now with RG3 giving the "I will do my best to help the new kid along" speech.

@mudfly said:

Hue, do you have the rose colored Robert glasses on? Will Sashi tell action Jackson- get a grip on reality, he's inaccurate, injury prone, can't read a defense- and will never duplicate his rookie year?

@gftchris said:

By injury or by choice???.....cause the word that Hue is planning on going with RGIII is getting louder and louder by the day.....seems to be what all the local pundits are now expecting....
