bbedward Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Campbell never got a very fair shake IMO. Never had an oline that gave him as much time as ours does, didn't have any real play making receivers that drew coverage to free other guys, etc. He played great in Oakland for 6 games, however. He doesn't flail under presser and looks to multiple receiving options on each play (not automatically checking down like he was known for in the past). As far as hoyer or Campbell, I think both deserve a shot at starting, if Campbell keeps up the performance. Playing against cincy on the road will be his biggest game yet.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 2-0 QB with 3 INTs vs. 1-1 QB w/ 0 INTs... Hmmmmmm... If you blame that loss on Campbell, you're crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 After seeing how they both played against a common opponent, any who picked Campbell want to change their mind? No, because even with that game, Campbell still has a higher QB rating than Hoyer in games they've started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC mike Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Campbell had a bad game. Hoyer's next game (if not injured) could have been a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 After seeing how they both played against a common opponent, any who picked Campbell want to change their mind? No takers yet? As easy (and tempting) as it would be to ressurect my "Campbell is shot" argument, he's shown enough to lay that to rest. Plus, as I just posted in another thread, I saw no evidence that he was simply not seeing open receivers all afternoon. The receivers, and the scheme we were running, did not get the job done. But what I will raise again is the spark that Hoyer brings to the Offense. Campbell seemed detached yesterday. Cool under fire is one thing... but damn near catatonic??? That's no way to lead a team. The halftime conversation in the Tavern II centered on how many Monster Energies they were feeding him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll bite, Tour, and change my mind... although I didn't actually vote because I didn't have a strong opinion either way yet and wanted to see more Campbell before deciding. I give Campbell a little slack because he admitted after the game that he was "protecting himself" a little and the ribs weren't healed, as he'd claimed during the week (right thing to say). But he looked like Bad Jason, the Charlie Checkdown guy who misses throws downfield a lot. I'd definitely lean into Hoyer, though. Interesting to read that no fewer than three HC candidates brought up Hoyer when asked what they'd do at the QB position. What I would do, and what the Browns will do, is get their guy near the top of the draft and pray for Hoyer's health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 If there was any doubt that the Browns were going to draft a QB in the first round, I think that was removed yesterday. I, too, am giving Campbell slack for yesterday because of the ribs and because Marvin Lewis and Mike Zimmer know a thing or two about football. The Bengals secondary played well and took our wide receivers out of the game, and their pass rush was relentless. But Campbell just didn't seem "awake" in the first half, and it was one of those games that, before you figured things out, it was too late. Again ... bad weather, bad ribs, and good coaching scheme by Bungles, so I'm not going to jump on JC's shit this week ... but ... bleh.

We still need help in other areas, like O-line & I'm not sold on TJ Ward as a good Safety...he gets lost in pass coverage and doesn't tackle well at all.

Zombo You forgot a couple of "bads": bad luck....for all the turnovers and blocked punts......or is that: bad special teams coaching or bad execution, and bad decision making/execution by Campbell to get picked off so much.

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 It was just a bad game, from every aspect besides the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 QB is the main reason the Browns accumulated all those picks, guys. We have 10... and we won't be trading them all to move up! But that's why we have them. Not because we wanna trade up to get a guard. Let's be real here. Again, we'll obviously be doing other things, but we clearly have the draft picks to move up and get the guy we want. Pretty sure we'll also add a WR and RB and probably a RG.

Westside Steve Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 But If they want one of the top two the probably won't get him with the two first. Understand? The rest of the pack probably aren't going that hi anyway. And yes somebody from the rest of the pack will probably turn out to be a pretty good player. We just don't know who that may be.

Shep Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hey, Steve! The only guy I think is out of reach is Bridgewater... and I don't think that #1 overall will even be in play, frankly. I think Jacksonville will probably own it and will clearly want Teddy Football. I don't believe Tampa is going to draft a QB (Glennon is progressing really well)... but it looks more and more like Minnesota will. I would guess (and it's really a guess) the Vikings would take Mariota, assuming he declares. The next group is Manziel, Carr, and Hundley... and I agree, it's a matter of taste, philosophy, and how the Browns want to proceed at the position. At this point, we don't know where the Browns are going to draft. We could rally or the wheels could really come off if we can't get something going again on offense. We could easily draft in the top 10... and jump to 5 or 6 by using that other first round pick only. I think that probably puts Mariota in play along with the other three. That leaves the Browns 8 draft picks I think they'd love to turn into 6 (moving them up). It's not tough to imagine the Browns with a 2nd, three thirds, and two fourths, for instance. That's a lot of picks for value at RG, RB, WR, and an ILB to develop. Not to mention what we do in free agency, where I expect we'll be active.

Westside Steve Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm predicting Bridgewater to be the bust of the draft, not an actual bust, but a mediocre player (compared to his almost certain first pick) on his best season. I don't know which of those other guys you mentioned are worth two first-round draft choices. By the way, if this is the real Shep, when is Henry coming out in audio?

The Cysko Kid Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 If I was Bridgewater I'd hate to hear you say "teddy football" because its just a copycat nickname ripped off of a peer. What a ridiculous thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdl15 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 After seeing how they both played against a common opponent, any who picked Campbell want to change their mind? Totally different situations. Home vs away. Cincy Dbs were banged up against hoyer. Weather. A bunch of excuses. But bottom line hoyer is Injured and not playing and an injured cambell is playing.

But Campbell just didn't seem "awake" in the first half, and it was one of those games that, before you figured things out, it was too late. Maybe he took too many pain meds... At this point I have no idea which QB(s) they covet in this draft. Hard to know when we don't even know which underclassmen will declare. So I still have doubt... How about "That Simon and Garfunkel Guy". You know Teddy BridgeovertroubledWater. LOL... a tag Chris Berman would be proud of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
