    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.

    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.

    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

    Neither was he the one we needed... 😉

    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.

    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.

    Someone said it earlier- all you had to do was a casual perusal of 3-4 of Kizer's ND games and it was obvious to even my untrained eye the guy was totally stinko.  5th round project was about right- big arm, with big inaccuracy. I've said for years by the time you get to the major college level you're either accurate, or you're not. That carried through to the NFL and the Browns Hue's lousy coaching as an added detriment. How many times did we see guys wide open, and Deshone throw it in the next county?
