Kizer officially Browns starter
-
Not really a surprise I guess . . . but we have our Pittsburgh Starter:

May be looking at Hogan moving ahead of Kessler as well, he did look better last night.

This is going to be painful...

He used the caveat however of first reviewing all the tape on the game before a final decision.

Better run the living shit out of the ball and find a way to play lights out defense.

Play calling.
I think Hue may have been testing Kizer.
Lot of long (low percentage) throws, little running initial, bad weather (wet Balls) . . .
Kid's still learning for sure, but he's coming along. Lot of dropped balls, plus we had a couple TO's.
And Penalties . . . my Lord did we put ourselves in bad situations last night - 14 on the books, and there were a few the Buccs turned down.
We had three or four starts inside the 15, two inside the 5.
We're not going to win a whole lot of games this year anyway, we may as well see what we've got and see how he develops over the Season.

I'll say this T, starting the 21yr old from day 1 will either forge, or melt him.....
That's a race between his learning to read a D and fan patience...
I think he'll do fine....in terms of developing......as long as he doesnt get hammered and beaten into submission.....
That responsibility will fall on the OL to protect and the WR's to give him open opportunities(quickly).....
Quickly where? As fast as he locks on to his primary outs will be jumped and the middle congested. He's got to learn to use his eyes... quickly...
-
If Kizer has shown to be better than the other QB's....then as long as he knows enough of the playbook then he should be the starter.
Would it have been nice to have the Ostrich play well enough to be the starter for a while, while the 21 year old gets acquainted with the NFL speed. Maybe so. But apparently that has not been the case....so....play the kid....take your lumps for playing a rookie QB and move on down the line.
Good luck to DeShone Kizer. Bring us back to glory....at your own pace.

I thought Kizer did a nice job of hitting some well covered guys in stride with laser perfect throws despite the heavy rain at times. Of our current group of QBs, he's easily the best at throwing guys open (as exemplified in his TD pass to Payton a couple weeks ago or the other deep throw to #83 in the same game).
I saw Kizer do something at 21 years of age that Weeden couldn't do at 30& 31 years of age, run out of the pocket and throw the ball away (so his offense could live another down). There were plenty of times I thought McCown and RG3 could have been better with that too. Kizer did it out of his own end zone. The very next play, he rifled an accurate short throw to Corey Coleman for a 1st down at the 11 or 12 yard line of the Browns.
At 1 time, Kizer was only 5 of 13 but just off the top of my head - Telfer, Njoku, and Britt all had passes go through their arms. Kizer also seemed to have the best chemistry I've seen any of our QBs have with Corey Coleman. I think that says all that it has to about his accuracy.
Unfortunately, the regular season is going to expose him to a multiplicity of disguised coverages/schemes that will confuse him. There's definitely going to be growing pains like a lot of rookie NFL QBs have had inclusive of Troy Aikman (that got 2 concussions just from Philly). The coming of age process is going to take longer than the very first September; but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.
-
Defense is well ahead of schedule so just let him play out the entire season. Who cares what the growing pains are as long as he's growing.

Can we finally all agree that Kessler sucks and should be released?

Hogan played so much better. Keesler just sucks. Send him to the PS-no one will take him off there.

Remember that Hue said "trust me" regarding the multiple-rounds-early selection of Kessler.
This is exactly why the assertion of "Letting Football Guys Run It" has not - and will not - ensure all draft picks are quality.

And Hue said "trust me" regarding the multiple-rounds-early selection of Kessler. No, I don't trust him - and yes, his draft voice must be decreased because of it.
That was just Hue taking it up the ass for his front office blunder of a pick, Kessler was and never will be Hue's type of QB.

Per the Browns' Official site, it's officially Kizer starting 2017. I never quote NFL.com since Jordan Cameron was listed as signing with the Browns just before he signed with the Dolphins. Here's the link: http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-5/DeShone-Kizer-named-Browns-starting-QB-for-2017-season/77fdb7ef-a831-42f4-aab8-1a38d4b2bded
