THE BROWNS BOARD

Trade Kizer and release Gordon ?

Recommended Posts

A terrible move for us to trade Kizer.  I've said this before and I'll say it again:  "He was a rookie with no around to give him the overall train him or at least know what to expect."  I've compared him to Goff (#1 overall selection).  Even though Goff had playoff players on his team and we didn't, he still only won 4 games.  Do not let Kizer go.  I wouldn't have a problem with letting Gordon go though.  We probably won't find a WR as gifted as him, but you never know when he will go back to smoking weed.  Then we'll have no choice but to let him go.

quit posting anything to do with CBS attaching Jason Fa-La-La Canfora name to anything..The guys a nobody wanting clicks..Were paying Kizer,465K,690K,915K & 1.1M if we get to 2020. Kizer was shown the turf due to Brock,Kessler & Hogan..Cut Them other 2 too...Gordon? Did ya see what we paid Britt just to leave? Gordon basic'ly cost us nothing to keep him this season..Can't a ford'a..Your A Joke!!

Dump Kizer.  No loss.

And the BROWNS quarterback situation will be further reduced, this team needs every WR, QB available until help arrives.......maybe in 2019 or 2020. :lol:

Why trade Kizer?  And for what.  I mean....unless someone wants to replenish the 2d rounder we used on him....no way. Despite his suckotage....he should still be kept as a backup  (over Kessler and Hogan)

And the suggestion to dump Gordon......that is just Hatorade.   Either hate for the Browns (it was LaCanfora...so....that is likely)  or hate for Gordon...which is just as likely.

Yeah maybe they can pick up a 13th pick in the draft for Kizer. :lol:

It's well documented LaCanfora hates the Browns. 

1) We wouldn't get a sack of potatoes for Kizer. 

2) No news is good news about Josh. He stays clean, still one of the top 10 wrs in the game.

Browns fans should ignore this guy.

247 is trash and Canfora is a hack.

Maybe he had a deadline and nothing going on in his head? :lol:

Exactly Woodster- he's still on his rookie 2nd round deal (looked it up on spotrac just over $1 million) and at worst he'll be third string this year.

I would have never drafted the kid. That said, I will repeat myself for #201, he has more upside, and greater physical skills than any QB we have, and more than likely, any QB we are considering.

The kid had the Steelers dead to rights. Fumble fingers Coleman screwed the kid over. Kizer can play. Unfortunately, he mixes in enough horseschidt to sour an entire game. Decision making? He can get better. Really, is he costing so much that releasing him is a big bonus? WHo would we put in his place? 

Sorry, this kid has better skills than RG3. He likes his job, the players like him, he isn't making a mess off the field and reportedly he is a hard butt worker. Black Tarkenton or not, you gotta be nuts to get rid of a kid of this caliber.

Trading Kizer makes no sense. Although he had a miserable season, he still got a TON of experience. If the game ever slows down for him, we may have a solid backup QB worst case, and best case we have a guy who could start (although severely unlikely). Kizer was 21 people, and he showed toughness, grit, and best of all, heart. That last game against Pittsburgh really showed me something, and although he started off MISERABLY and our team was down 14 early, he didn't lose his head and probably finished playing the best game of the year. And don't give me any crap about Pittsburgh resting their players because they didn't. The ONLY defensive player who didn't play was their star DT. 

It's not worth discussing trading Josh Gordon because that's dumb.

With a real HC the rookie could have had 4-5 wins in 2017. Huey Fig Newton did him no favors and his so called "receivers" even less so. I have not given up on him either.

Agree that we do not dump him.  He does have that raw potential....but no, no reason to get rid of him.  That does not mean though that we do not bring in his potential replacement.

Some people may not realize that Kizer didn't really have that much experience at ND plus he was a passing and running QB there, doesn't always translate to the NFL game. And maybe he had recievers that could catch?

There are a lot of times that I wish he would have run instead of thrown.  How many of his Ints. were in the red zone?  A fair number.  If he had just run instead of throwing all those picks....the Browns may have actually won a couple of games.  It would at least have given us FG opportunities, rather than being a turnover.

There are really only two situations in which I wish he had ran last year 1) When he was under center 2) When he took snaps in shotgun.

You know Gip, who are you, Hue, me, or anyone else to say that a veteran or new draftee will be his replacement? The new guy is still going to have to compete. The last time I looked, nobody gave Kizer the starting job. Whatever the level of talent we had, Kizer beat them. How do we know that Kizer won't beat out McCarron, et. al?

Here is what bothers me about this schidt pile. At QB, we aren't looking for a QB, we are looking for a savior, a miracle worker, someone to magically save the jobs of management and make the owner look respectable.

If we are looking for a QB? Then Kizer is not a question mark. He is part of this team and it is in everyone's interest to make this kid all he can be. I think Hue and the Browns treated this kid like schidt. Pulling him, not giving him confidence, not giving him weapons, and giving him an unimaginative, sitting duck offense that Joe Montana couldn't succeed in.

Anyone can draft talent. All these kids have talent. Developing players, that's what the Browns suck at. Kizer is a solid athlete, and a solid young man. You don't get rid of that spirit, you build on it.

Hey guys, first post and life long Raider fan here. I applaud the Browns for sticking with Gordon and the way he is humbly dedicated to the team. I hope he retires a Brown.

I wanted to pop in and offer my input to you guys and to be honest you are not that far of. Some things I would consider:

Sign McCarron and by all means keep Kizer, but stash as the #2 and let him settle down from 2017.

Miami just tagged Landry. Make a serious run at him ( you got cap, use it now $15 - $16 mil per annum), send Miami your #4 this year and next yrs first.You have all those second rnd picks to make up for the loss of #4. Landry on one side, Gordon on the other (drool)

Sign Gordon, I believe he would sign for a reasonable amount

Draft Barkley #1

Good luck on the season

Hue gave him the job.

The pee wee football coach naming his bench warmer son starting QB doesnt make it right.
