What is the point of starting a rookie QB week 1 if you bench him by week 5?

What was exactly the point of starting Kizer?

I would say that you want to see progression

at some point, you owe it to the other 50+ guys to give your team a shot at winning

Kizer has been dreadful and seemingly worse every week, Hue owes it to the other guys to give them the best chance to win

Bring in Kaepernick.....

This plus:

* He was pretty damn good in the preseason and camp, (yeah don't mean squat but)
* Each week he has declined, you could say lack of a running helped his poor games.
* And once Coleman went down they have nobody to stretch the field vertical for the under neath routes to open.

Yes, ugly set of weapons, but I actually watched some of that Jets game, and his decision making was just horrific.......They were on the goal line twice in the first half, and 2 turnovers all on him...He is costing them wins

The interesting thing now is if the Browns (and it looks likely) have a chance at one of these QB's coming out, do they draft one?

I'm sure his confidence is shot to hell... I know the revamped that Oline, but Johnson and Crowell are not a "feared backfield" Image if they took Fornette or Cook?


I think with missing pieces still at the wide out spot, ( let's face it they need at least three guys there) and an Oline that needs depth and size I would say no , unless it was a sure franchise QB there I would say yes..

Because they thought they had nobody. Not the worst idea to bench him for a game or two.


Cutting Hogan still irritates the crap out of me knowing we kept Bray over him.

Hugh is having another rocky season. My best guess is letting a rookie go 0-16 could completely ruin him, especially with how bad his pocket presence is. Kizer clearly has a lot of development left and there isn't much talent around him in the skill positions. Now that we are all but eliminated from the playoffs, take him out of this shit show.

But it's the Browns, so who the hell knows what these tardos are doing

dirts right., progression or improvement, even a flicker.

So that you don't get criticized like John Fox in Chicago for not starting Trubisky?

It's a catch-22. No matter whether you start the rookie or don't start the rookie, fans are going to bash you.

 

[Yo Tee]

Well Kizer has been sucking dick. Hogan actually looked good when he was on the field. It's a typical Browns thing, man. 3 TDs, 9 INTs. Not good. Best thing to do is sit him at this point. Not all rookie QBs can be DeShaun Watson.

A little early to start purposefully tanking.

 

[Iggloo]

The point is Hue is trying to save his job. He is reportedly close to going 2-22 and matching the Ritchie Kotite career coaching win-loss record. Not good company.

Desperation descends on Cleveland

Good point, Hue needs wins and Hogan is the best shot right now

You realize Hue Jackson was the Raiders HC a few years ago and won 8 games, right?

 

[packerzrule]

it's the Browns


what did you expect?

You are right, I didn't include that, misread the story. But per that story I posted, he is 2-24 in his last 26 games including the last five games of the Oakland stint. So yes, he won some games there, but fell off rather quickly and is literally 1-20 in Cleveland at this point.

Not much to add to that...but I will add...lol...I think when a young QB is repeating mistakes and it's leading to bad results, you need to pull them aside so they can see another QB execute.

Repeating myself, but the bigger question IMO is how this affects Kizers' projected future, basically meaning, with the Browns a virtual lock to be in position to draft one of the best 1-3 QB's, would they? how much weight have they put into what they have seen from Kizer, in terms of his and the Browns future?

They should acquire Kaepernick.
