jcam222 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Straight and to the point I think PoeticG has this one right. Hogan is light years ahead of Kizer. I've resisted it, argued against it and made excuses. The fact is though the second he takes the field it's like an entirely different offense. He gets the ball out fast, throws a beautiful accurate catchable ball AND is a dual threat. There is no reason at all to start Kizer next week. PoG has fallen in love with some losers more than once but I have think he has this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don’t think he has it right in terms of Hogan being a franchise guy but he’s certainly shown that he knows this offense enough to move the chains. Its no different than starting a guy like McCown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 and he was just a rookie last year....technically, Kizer has more game experience than Hogan now....or very close to it...and we can see how good Kessler and Hogan looked as rookies, compared to Kizer as a rookie....they were both MUCH better....much much better... much.....(lots).....notably better....notable.....offense moving...points.....etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have a gut feel we haven't seen his ceiling. Then again that feeling in my gut could be the bad nachos I had at the game lol. The speed difference between him and Kizer for processing what they see is astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bone Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'll give PoG credit for calling out Hogan as the best QB on the roster, and giving us the best chance to win this season..... however, I do not think for a second that Hogan is our 16yr franchise QB, but maybe I'm wrong again and would sure love to be. but I'm not......

That’s true, there’s no way of truly knowing. I would love for him to be the QBOTF, I really enjoyed him in college. Kizer is struggling hardcore.

Dutch Oven Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't have any doubt that Hogan gives the Browns a better shot at winning right now. But let's not forget that Hogan has self-destructed two times in a row after setting the world on fire in his initial drives. Both interceptions he threw were godawful and pretty much negated his touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 He's having the struggles a rookie QB, with no vet presence, is going to have. As long as we don't "break" him, we should continue to get him experience. We aren't playing for anything this year anyway. Unless they truly believe Hogan is the future, Kizer should continue to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beare Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hogan seems to move them better however i think neither him or kizer are close to a long term answer. We need throw a boat load of money at free agent qbs next year!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My anti Notre Dame bias aside, I'm seeing the same crap out of Deshone I saw in college. Sorry Woody- you going to sacrifice any shred of hope winning a game just to develop one player? I don't care what Sashi says- Hue's playing for his job at this point. 1-20, and counting. FYI, at this rate, we can pass the '70s Tampa Bay Yuckaneers record of futility over two seasons. Historically awful. MHO is Jackson's coaching career is as sunk as the Titanic if he keeps playing Deshone. You'd have to be blind to not see Hogan has clearly outplayed Kizer to this point.

thomam3 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Can someone please explain to me this ceiling that only Kizer has? Why are lots so certain he is our future? I just don't see it. Why can't Hogan be the future? Both times we hit the red zone early with Kizer I just expected something to go wrong. As soon as I saw Hogan get in the game I expected to march down the field and score. I was right. Am I the only one that gets these feelings?

Even if you are committed to Kizer in the long run wouldn't it be a better idea to have a serviceable quarterback who has a good grasp of this questionable offense ,have a better team, and have someone with the attitude conducive to teaching a young player the ropes? Unless your main goal is getting that first pic in 2018? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCown gets the ball down field much faster than any of our QBs, the only question is his mobility. I heard yesterday during the game that Hue wanted McCown to hang around and coach Kizer. I think that would've made him much more appealing to the fans. But putting him in raw, just not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Honestly, Im not sure why so many people are certain that Hogan isnt the answer..... I hear he's not mobile....yet seems to run better than most other QB's.....heck, he ran for 100 yards in a game last season...remember? He's got decent size at 6'-3" 220#....... He clearly has moved the team better than Kizer and Kessler..... And he's only played in about 4 games his entire career..... How can you write off a guy who's performed every time he's played, yet hasnt even been given a single start in his career? Yesterday, Hue called him a back up and made the excuse that Kizer is just a rookie....well. Id tell you that Hogan is just as "rookie" as kIzer is......and has had less reps and game opportunities than Kizer....yet, has FAR AND AWAY outplayed him..... What is it about Hogan that says he cant be a better QB than Kizer??.....the arm?.....cause we all know strong arms do not a QB make.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 They say that Hogan is dink and dunk passer and Kizer has that long ball strong arm thing going on......BUT.... The numbers say that Kizer averages 5.4 yds per pass play and Hogan averages 9.9 yds per pass play....(which is #2 in the league, btw)(and almost double Kizers avg) The numbers give Kizer a 49 rating and Hogan a 104 rating.....(yesterday he ranked #4 in the league....with the worst OC and WR's money can buy)....(was sitting right there with Aaron Rodgers)..... Is this the twilight zone?.....play the man and see if he falls to earth.....or excels.....it's happened before, but you have to give him a chance to see......

Mudfly Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Kizers development is in a consistent downslide..... Game 1 = 85 rating - 66% comp game 3 = 50 rating - 47% comp game 5 = 38 rating - 47% comp Hogans development is in a consistent UPswing..... Game 1 = 58 rating - 45% comp game 2 = 88 rating - 62% comp game 3 = 122 rating - 84% comp Same players....same coaches.....same competition....ONE guy is clearly "developing" and one guy is clearly "sucking"....

burtond16vtec Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I haven't seen a Browns QB actually throw with anticipation for years. We've seen so many hold on to the ball too long (Kizer, Kessler, McCown, RG3, Manziel, Weeden and whoever else in between). They all held on to the ball too long and took too many sacks. Hogan's throws have been pretty accurate too. Maybe teams will adjust to him and he won't play as well if they prepare for him but hell, give him a shot.

blitzz2 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 In terms of processing, Kizer is just taking way to long. Almost like he wants the guy to be open to make a pass, so indecisive Hogan, just the opposite, throws the ball before the break, puts the ball where he expects the receiver to be. Hue, worried about a chip shot on that field goal? Christ, he makes it and just maybe it boosts his confidence smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time there was this rocket arm qb playing for the Redskins by the name of RG III. Needed more time to "develop" because he was a high pick. IIRC, he got his coach fired becase of it. The 'Skins happened to have this QB on the bench by the name of Kirk Cousins (4th round pick BTW). The rest they say is history. Kirkie is going to be the most in demand FA next year. Um, Hogan was a 5th round pick & has outperformed the anal-litics chosen one at every opportunity. Que up the Twilight Zone music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna revise history and say I was fully on POG's train like many probably will, but I did agree with him that Hogan wasn't given much of a shot to earn the job and he is intriguing. And now everyone says we know Kizer's ceiling is higher. Based on what? I have no idea. I do think Kizer can be good, but so can Hogan, and right now Hogan's better, so he should play.
