Here's some definitive proof that Kessler was a Sashi analytics pick, and Hue saying "Trust Me" was just him backing up the FO.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - In recent interviews Hue Jackson said he preferred his quarterback to stand at least 6-foot-2 and that another attribute he coveted was "arm talent."
Cody Kessler is 6-foot-1. His forte is accuracy, not arm strength.
So where does Kessler stand with the Browns and what should he do to enhance his standing?
We talked about it as part of our video debate series, Prepare for List Off.
Someone asked Jackson at the Scouting Combine how it was the Browns drafted Kessler if he didn't quite fit the mold.
"You have to play the hand you're dealt," Jackson said.
That response seems a far cry from Jackson's draft night "Trust me" about Kessler.
Well....in the Ostrich he certainly got his size. And his arm talent....as far as being strong armed is not a question. Of course, however, his touch/feel/accuracy...and intellect ARE questions.
