The Pete Smith Article Thread...
-
Pretty good read from a guy who is rapidly climbing my fav writer list...
"When you have a shared vision it is a lot easier to make unpopular decisions." - Paul DePodesta "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." - Paul Brown Complete 2017 Browns Board Mock: http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46196 -
I say we let this guy go quietly into the good night, and verily never mention his name again, thereby allowing it to be absorbed into oblivion.

I agree. we need never speak the name Pete Smith again.

kizer is a dude I feel bad for, certainly is the definition of being thrown to the wolves.
but most importantly, the dude just sucked. His college game tape had literal Unwatchable bad tape. He was a 5th round project who got way overdrafted in a weak QB class. Remembering some of his throws still gives me nightmares.

And the one game changing pass he hit on the sidelines got just flat out dropped. Ironic.

if memory serves me right “Trust me” was the Kessler pick equally bad though

Honestly, Kessler at least looked like an NFL QB on the field. A back-up/3rd string caliber dude, but at at least wasn't a total embarrassment. He actually was an extremely accurate guy within 10-12 yards, just had ZERO ability to push the ball downfield. Ain't gonna win with that type of guy anymore.

Coleman was just plain, a loser.

Not going to debate Kizer's potential, but the main point of the article is one I embrace. Namely that whatever chance Kizer had to be a starting QB in the NFL was destroyed by Hue's handling of him and the QB room as a whole. My evidence? An expert witness named Jon Gruden.
Jon liked what he saw of Kizer in his "QB Camp"... enough that when he had a chance to scoop him up after GB, he did. But now that he's seen him for a time, he's cut him loose....
... and kept Nate Peterman as his QB3.

I can't tell if you're actually being serious here...?

I am.
To my eye and ear Jon's summary of Kizer's "camp" was genuine and optimisitc. There were a couple that Jon "manufactured" out of bullshit, but Kizer's wasn't among them.

I guess that's fair, so long as you're acknowledging that Gruden basically "liked" every QB which came across his desk.
I suppose picking him up in Oakland does lend a bit more weight to that statement.

That’s a pretty hard sell that it’s all Hue’s fault. The guy certainly did Kizer no favors but he did get his foot in the door with 2 other teams and it didn’t pan out. It’s a tough results oriented business and at the end of the day an argument could be made that Kizer just didn’t put it all together quickly enough to Morph into a viable NFL QB.

Arena League talent......maybe.

Not sure I buy the framing of this article/thread.. nothing's more stupid than the segment of this population/culture which seeks to prematurely build things up seemingly for the sole purpose of then "destroying" those same things.. even though nothing substantive was ever foundationally present.
Kizer had tools, sure - but no fewer tools than Spergon Wynn.

Cream rises to the top: once a turd, always a turd. He's shown zero development since he was drafted. Just another horrid Browns' pick. Another hit of Weeden was a better QB.

Coupled with the Arena League coach to match.

Arena League actually Requires quicker process times (smaller field) and requires better accuracy. It would probably expose him more.
Canadian. XFL probably better options.
and Yes Gruden loves everyone. Why would a prospect/agent arrange Themselves in a situation where they would get negative airtime right before a draft.

do some googling on what Irish HC Brian Kelly thought of Kizer leaving school early..? his draft projections, were projected way to high... Hue Jackson was not the coach Kizer needed at the next level
