Kizer

Tom Flugel was giving Phil Sewage and Romeo the Doughnut manscapes and chanting "In Sewage We Trust" when the Browns passed on Ben.
I'm glad you stopped tea-bagging your Terry Bradshaw poster long enough to notice. I LOVED winning 10 games in 2007. Savage and Romeo made you disappear like a Houdini rabbit for an entire season. What's not to adore?
And yes, I was very happy we didn't draft a serial rapist to be our franchise QB. Not much different than I felt about us avoiding your idea of Paxton Lynch as a franchise QB. Rumor has it, your boy Lynch is almost as smart as a pet rock.

Kevin Hogan's former Pac 12 rival (Jared Goff) reminds us it takes longer than 2 games for a young QB to emerge on a rebuilding team. The Rams prolly used Case Keenum more to prevent the ruin of Goff than any intended long term plan for Keenum. Last week, Kevin Hogan looked like he could be up to the task of giving us something far better than Case Keenum offers anyone. Hogan might have had the best training camp and preseason of any of our QBs while the deep ball accuracy of Kizer diverted attention away from it.
He is 6'3" and came out of pro style offense in comparison to a soph QB deciding to depart from Notre Dame's Chaotic sandlot spread. It's not that I don't want to give Kizer a chance; but some of these sacks he's taking in the pocket holding on to the ball forever has me feeling like he's not ready yet. About half of our 7 sacks vrs Pitt were from holding onto the ball way too long.
Is it possible Kizer just had a bad game? Absolutely! That said, I'd like to think if Kevin Hogan offered us something better than body by Migraine headache - we keep him in on a day Kizer was producing more turnovers than the local bakery. I'm not a hater - I'm just seeing why Kizer's college coach said "he's not ready" more than I was willing to during the preseason. I don't see what the hurry to ruin this kid is while we are sentenced to an Arena Football caliber WR Corps. If Kosar wasn't ready to start until somewhere between week 5 and 7 as a rookie - what makes Kizer ready? The timing patterned deep ball to an area instead of reading progressions against preseason opponents that didn't game plan or film study him? I don't think it would be a bad move to sit the would be college junior for a guy who looks more ready to succeed at a pro style offense at this time. I've been wrong before though.

Trick plays??......I see excessive motion before plays(along with delay of game penalties)......Hues idea of a trick play is to move a bunch of guys, pre snap.....stupid shit that fools no one.....how about some creative "plays" Hue?.....how about some PA?.....how about plays that help your rookie team succeed?.....how about using the best tools you have....like 2 good RB's.....instead of leaning HEAVILY on your rookie QB and pathetic WR corps.....??????????????????????????????????????
It really is puzzling. Hue decides to start a very young, not terribly experienced rookie at QB but doesn't seem to do much to make it easier for him.

It is a main reason that he is being questioned in his decision making. He got a year of grace last year because things were so bad. But with a few games last year....and both games this year his play calling can come in for some serious questioning.
A parallel could be if Marty Schottenheimer had put in BK in his first game and started having him throw constant bombs as if he was Daryl Lamonica. That is NOT the way to groom a rookie QB. Hue is doing the opposite of Marty.

Agreed.....
After telling us(repeatedly) that they would not rush him.....they did exactly that, while pretending that he actually beat out the other guys... .....and they are rushing him, with little to no support to boot....no running attack or WR's, along with a fledging OL is not the formula to "develop" a young QB.....It's a formula to fail and/or create a shell shocked, deer in the headlights QB......
I hope he rebounds this week and has a good game.....another performance like last week and we might start seeing confidence issues start to develop with this one....

If Hue does not Boner this up?...Leslie,Higgins,Duke & Dayes should have a nice day..Colts will more than likely throw most their keys at Crow imo..

A lot of Hue's "complex" shifts are designed to prompt Defensive adjustments that reveal coverages... that is a from of simplification.
EDIT: Reading one more post would have saved me some time...
I don't think it's meant to 'fool' anyone. It's more to see 'who' moves with the players. To see if it tips the D's hand to some degree.

Just not what I saw.
Kizer cleared the basic hurdles of working under Center and delivering the play calls to the huddle. By all accounts Goff struggles with those are what kept him out of the line up and in "the plan". But once Goff was competent with the basics, he started.
As for beating out others... he did... at least in executing Hue's Offense the way he want's it executed, i.e., deep shots. Plus IIRC he came out of Week 3 with the best stats in the QB room and against ever increasing competition from Week 1 thru Week 3.
Lastly, I can't see Hogan making a difference in either game in 2017 to date. Do you? Does anyone?

How long do we play Kizer in Indy?
What if he's struggling and looks distressed?
What if he can't find clearly open guys?
What about throws that are erratic passes? ie. passes into the dirt or out of bounds to open receivers?
How many interceptions will you tolerate?
What about holding the ball and staring down wide receivers?
How about interceptions?
I'm just curious because according to Hue and some of you guys it doesn't matter, the kid could shit himself and you'd still want to trot him out there.

If you're trying to decide whether to roll with Kizer or to draft a QB high, you're going to throw everything you can at him. Sit back, see what he digests and if he can show progress.

Here's a serious question PoG:
Let's say Hogan had won the starting job out of training camp, and he had performed EXACTLY like Kizer has so far in the first two games.
Would you be calling for Kizer?

Unless he gets hurt or has another migraine, we're stuck with him PO. Sorry about that. He better improve. If not, I"m wasting 4 hours of driving and $180 bucks + probably a $10 beer to watch crap in person.

Look. The kid won the starting job in TC & preseason.
Blame that on the other 3 QB's (now down to 2). Or blame Hue's evaluation if you want. But the bottom line is that the rookie beat out the guys that have been here for a year.
NOW, we let the rookie take his lumps. We coach him up. When he comes off the field after a series you go over to him and coach him up (let Greg Williams Head Coach his defense at that point). - A great many rookie QB's did not look too great in their first year. It comes with the territory. It's still tackle football...but it's a faster brand of tackle football, with good players at ALL position (compared to college).
Sure, if you see consistent bad passes (like Brandon Weeden or Derick Anderson - throwing balls at the feet or waay behind receivers 8 yards in front of him) then maybe you decide that this guy just doesn't have the accuracy to play in the NFL. But the 'rookie mistakes' that Bradshaw, Aikman, EVERYBODY made/makes...those are things that ya just have to live and learn through.
They would not have spent a 2nd round pick on Kizer if the thought that Kessler or Hogan was going to be the answer. At this point we have to use this opportunity to find out if we need to draft our QB of the future again this coming April or not.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
Game Three- Kizer starts. Kessler comes in after halftime. Hogan enters in the 4th Quarter for the first time really, down 3 to 9. Hogan drives the team to a FG, then again for the game winner.
Game Four- Browns sit out Brock, word is they plan to try and trade or outright release Osweiler- as they intended to do all along, just gave him snaps to appear to be interested when we all know they just wanted the draft pick. They also name Kizer the starter for the opener and sit him as well. So this last game is Kessler and Hogan. Of course, Hue's guy Kessler gets the start. Kessler puts up 7 points in the first half. Hogan takes the second half and puts up 18 points.
So, I don't know where Kizer earned the starting QB job. He was pretty much given the job.
