LondonBrown Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 At last @Browns: BREAKING: Brian Hoyer to lead Browns, named starting quarterback.
beefjerky Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Hopefully he looks more like he did last year than he did in this preseason.
WalterWhite Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Good. Johnny can get some action in the preseason games and sit his ass on the pine for a while.
LondonBrown Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Posted August 20, 2014 It's the right decision, Hoyer has at least looked good in the NFL games he has played for us, Manziel a long way to go.
TexasAg1969 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 OK by me. Cleveland has been the boneyard for starting rookie QBs. If they are going to shape the player to the offense instead of the other way around, then it's best to give JM a lot more time. He's always been a full fast tempo 2 minutes in 60 kind of player and this huddle up every play kind of O just does not fit him coming into the league. If he never adjusts to it, then some up tempo team will get him for a song and a dance. Hoyer deserves it based on his play in practice and last year before he was hurt.

jrb12711 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Easy call to make, Manziel simply isn't quite there to start yet and Hoyer can manage the team until he is. I guarantee Hoyer has a three game audition though, if he sucks it up going into the bye it's time to start flashing the money symbols.
Alkid3 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Hopefully he doesn't play as embarrassing as he did in these preseason games. Haha not to say Manziel did any better. They both were garbage. But preseason is preseason.
cdl15 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 If Wide Recievers did half of what was expected of an Nfl reciever we would all be pumped right now. Again qbs take wayyyyyyy to much heat for other players bs.
jrb12711 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 I'm excited to see Hoyer against the Rams Saturday knowing he's the guy. Distractions are behind him now and he can play likely the whole first half with our starters and not doing the stupid alternating series crap.
TexasAg1969 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 and not doing the stupid alternating series crap. Amen, amen, amen! Stupid rookie coach move.
Westside Steve Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 That's the smart move. And for the next couple preparation weeks they can concentrate on getting Brian Hoyer ready to quarterback the team. Another good point is that he will be playing a less aggressive offense since some of the plays are beyond his physical abilities. If the offensive line, the running game and the defense hold up..... We should know by the break. WSS
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 StocktonShorts just had a stroke.
Kvoethe Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Smart move. That should back off the media.
Tour2ma Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Yup... was really the only decision to make. While Hoyer did not make the throws against WSH, he remained poised in the pocket and with one exception made the reads. Add that we know he can make the throws and there's the decision. While I am still concerned that the pressure of the competition may have gotten to him, hopefully a 3-game commitment (I doubt he gets more) is enough to get him on track. Here's to a good week of practice and a solid, home preseason opener...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 His head is a little crooked to the right. Must have taken a head to head hit missed by the refs..
Gips Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 No surprise here, its just what you expect and are use to as a browns fan..
big red one Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 As he should be.... now lets quit with the second guessing til we can do some 202/20 hindsight.
Westside Steve Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 As he should be.... now lets quit with the second guessing til we can do some 202/20 hindsight. Yeah I'm sure that's all over with now! WSS
darkside5 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Now that the sideshow is over, and the ticket sales are up, and the marketing scheme that only benefitted the Browns front office has played out, I have one thing to say to the Browns front office. You damned well better put a product on the field we as fans can be proud of. Fans are getting real tired of the mediocrity ! The pyramids were built faster than this football team !
jrb12711 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks for that picture by the way, I officially have a new team photo for my fantasy football leagues.
thenew23 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Glad they named a starter. This at least quiets some of the distraction surrounding this team, and now they can focus on scoring TDs instead of "who's going to start." I hope Hoyer works out. Problem is, if he struggles at all... at all... even in the first game... the media, and fans, are going to clamor for Manziel... this hasn't gone away... By the way, this in no way slams the door on Manziel. He was dead-even in a competition with a 5-year vet, and was passed over based on experience, something he cannot control. The kid is only 21 years old. He needs to mature, learn the offense, and get his feet wet a little more. I still believe he will be good, but I just hope we don't have to see him until next season...
miktoxic Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 rookie photoshop job. looks like the fake celeb xxx shots of jennifer lopez will her head on backwards sucking dong.
Kvoethe Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 I just wish we had stability. It doesnt matter who they named starter. Being at best 1-2 after our first 3 games they will change qbs again. The one thing the browns never have....stability. Just commit and give us stability.
-X- Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 rookie photoshop job. looks like the fake celeb xxx shots of jennifer lopez will her head on backwards sucking dong. Well, clearly it's a rookie photoshop job. That's not my profession. Twitter seems to like it though. 147 retweets so far. https://twitter.com/DawgPoundNews/status/502100535856881665
tiamat63 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Best decision possible currently for this team. Hoyer's issues aren't his reads or pocket presence, he's sometimes had a bit too much zip on the ball or just a little off on accuracy. Still... its the lesser of two evils. I'm just hoping the rest of the offense, especially the Oline will galvanize after their performance on Tuesday and that this offense can at worst be efficient.
