beyster Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 After last night's game, Kizer's ascension to the starting role isn't a rush job, and he looks to FINALLY be the quarterback that I've been saying all along that the Browns need: A playmaker at the position. From what I can see based on these 3 preseason games, the team will most likely be spending next years draft picks on playmaking WR's (because so far only Coleman has shown any form of consistency) and a FS, maybe even another TE, for Njoku has been slow in his development. If they can resign Crowell, then you're looking at strengthening the secondary and back up positions. Oh, and Gonzales doesn't look like he's going to make the cut, for I've seen a LOT of Parkey out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkid3 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I agree but I think Zane will make the team. Parkey will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our O will probably stall a lot, we need a kicker that is accurate from beyond 50, Zane is that guy, Last nights kick was in a downpour.

Mudfly Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Quote Well, one thing thats really notable is that Gonzalez is one of only 4 kickers who has not had a ball returned yet......he has zero return yards, while many other kickers have already given up hundreds of yards.... I think that missing a 55 yarder, in the driving rain, in your 3rd game ever, is no reason to be cut......those are silly expectations, if you think it is....Parkey missed 5 out of 12, in the 40's, last season.....and probably woulda missed that 55 yarder last night too... only making 7 outta 12 in the 40;s is not that good.....My guess is Gonzalez will be the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I trust that Kizer is not a Kicker ..Were taking the youth path, It's Gonzo's job to lose & they say it's close. Just don't get Tabor stupid trying to put Gonzo on PS..3 Parkey's with his pair of pear trees will be on the streets soon..That extra point was big late by Gonzo..surely a test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 You kizer fanboys need to understand that he's going to piss u off alot this season. Hopefully he makes sone spectacular off setting plays. But he's going to make sone very rookie mistakes once he has to start running for life every down. Its gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownsDawgPound Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hope the Browns both limit DeShone Kizer to a few offensive series, then let Osweiler play at least one full half of football in the preseason finale at Chicago so the Browns can shop him or cut/waive Ossi so the Browns won't have to pay his hefty $17 million contract in 2017 on September 2. Then have Kessler get some playing time and mix at QB against the Bears on Thursday Night. This way hopefully Hue can allow and get the rookie mentally and physically ready for the home opener with the Steelers, being played in September instead of January for a change!

Ghoolie Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Aren't you fuckers just brilliant? It only took you since the draft to start chanting what I have been telling you all along. Kizer is the only QB the Browns have. He should have been named the starter from day one. ALl this fucking horse fuck about " He is finally ready" is your fucking way of living with the reality that Hue Jackoff is doing now, what I told him to do 4 months ago.WOW WOW WOW............... what a huge fucking development.

Unfortunately he's the best QB on our staff right now. I don't understand why we let McCown go. Would have been perfect for him to start the season and let Kizer take over later. Osweiler, Kessler and Hogan are awful. At least Kizers mistakes have some MPH on them. Watching the other 3 float balls into the opposing secondary is infuriating.

CaineDeSoulis Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 our defense wins us games and this kid gets all the credit?... he looked like shit on saturday, coleman bailed him out on a few circus catches. he threw one int, one should have been int. After the int he did not complete a pass. Atleast 2 other passes this preseason should have been picked 1 dropped and one called back on a chinsy penalty. as the game has involved more and more starters he has looked worse.

Unsympathetic Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 To be fair, "starter arm with a backup game" describes the first season of Ben's career as well. And Favre's. And Aaron Rodgers'. That's just three HallOfFamers I can think of pre-coffee this morning. Dan Marino's not buying a house in Berea any time soon.. need to move those "expectations" to more realistic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of the sit and learn stalwarts, but I do realize there's a chance of a career-threatening injury coming out of the gate. Hit that 20, there are four aces in the deck.

calfoxwc Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yep. If Osweiler had shown that he could give the Browns a better chance, he would be the guy. but he didn't. Too bad for Kizer - but this team wants to win, and win now. and they have the defense that can back it up. Kizer has the mental makeup - very, very smart, and has the mental strength to handle adversity. He can do it, let him roll with it. Os hasn't mastered his fundamentals after all this time, he just isn't athletic enough. too bad - Kizer sure the heck IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
