Browns_Fucking_Rule Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I know almost all of you guys hated this pick when we made it and I was kind of a lone wolf when I said that it was a good selection. He may be the qb of the future that we been looking for? His arm isn't all that weak either, as he made some nice tight throws this afternoon. I'm not going to blame him for not throwing deep at the end of the game either because the receivers weren't even running deep routes... totally baffled with that!

D Bone Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Kess is doing great and looks better each and every quarter. It's far too early to say one way or the other if he's our QB of the future that we have been so desperately looking for, but so far he looks pretty damn good.

calfoxwc Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Kessler's arm will get stronger with time. Josh Cribbs insisted that was true a few weeks ago. He's a smart qb. He and Wentz are starting. Kessler is making a lot of good things happen. he'll make mistakes - the pressure in on with injuries, etc. Goff isn't.

If the 2 QB's ahead of Goff get knocked out, he too will become a starter, the same way Kess did..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns_Fucking_Rule Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 If I were Hue? I would go ahead and tell him he is the starter for the rest of the year. He has a lot of work to do still, but what I like is that he gets rid of the ball... something our previous qb's have struggled with. Once that arm drops back the ball is out in no time.

cnhnyy Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Been impressed with the poise of Cody Kessler. I really have, but with weapons like Pryor and Coleman, who can stretch the field, you need a QB with a bigger arm. He doesn't have that. his longest completion was a lousy 14 yards (and half of that was Crowell breaking tackles). He's looking like he could be a solid backup and a great emergency starter. But you need the guy throwing who can stretch the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't expect a rook with 3-4 seconds in pocket to stretch to much.But on the long ones, Cody is finding single covered receivers. It's a good step for a rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 We could have had Carson Wentz. Our Front Office isn't too bright. Now that we have Coleman & Kessler I hope they become the dynamic duo of the future. Except Coleman isn't playing. But when he returns I hope it's Kessler to Coleman, Crowell running all day long. I doubt they'll win any games this year because we have no defense. And as long as they're losing the experts and Pundits are going to keep bringing up the fact we didn't draft Carson Wentz. We have to listen to that until the next draft. But seriously, Kessler looked pretty good for his second NFL game with no defense. I think they're going to have a hard time benching this guy for McCown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm not going to blame him for not throwing deep at the end of the game either because the receivers weren't even running deep routes... totally baffled with that! Probably had something to do with the players that we had to play on the OL this week. As has been said, Kessler is doing a good job considering he's a rookie being 'thrust' into the starting role. He had a lot of crazy stuff going on around him while he was the starting QB at USC and did a good job there. That's what Hue liked about him, he can handle adversity and he throws it straight. I DO agree with the new guy though, cnhnyy, it'd be nice if he had a rocket arm (and stood 6'5")....but we'll have to see as the season goes on just what kind of arm he has. I don't think that Hue would now put McCown back in over Kessler (cos the kid ain't half bad)...but I bet RG3 goes back in when he's cleared.

Mudfly Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I thought Kessler looked better this week....he has definitely improved from his horrid preseason.....I dont see anything like greatness in him, but he wasnt embarrassing either....certainly not all excited about him, but feel he's shown enough quick progress, that Id expect more of the same to come....could become a decent player with time....(though probably not the star #1 we all covet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles entire plan was to tank, just like us (even though you don't like it). It didn't work out that way, but this had NOTHING to do with "faith" in Wentz.

Is he the next Drew Brees? Watched that lil old guy bring his team way back to a win the last 5 min. yesterday. Still amazing for a guy that size. Still able to read D's like he wrote the book.

But he was thrust into the starting position because of injuries, and just completed 70% of his passes. The Redskins are a highly talented team, and go look at the characters on the Dolphins dline. Bellichoke was hurling his clipboard into the bench the last game. I wonder what he'll hurl when the Browns get their first win next week. Earth to Mud, I'm guaranteeing a victory next week ! The Browns have become a TEAM that is ready to start winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think Kessler's longest completion was 14 yards Sunday. I could be wrong, but I don't remember him throwing the ball remotely down the field (and completing it). Defenses are going to start really making the short stuff tougher to complete, and let's be honest, the only reason we got about 9 of our first downs was because of Redskins' AWFUL tackling. A good or even solid defense makes us punt about ten more times. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the kid, but if we think we can go the entire season without completing a pass more than 14 yards, I've got some news for you. The Good: It's kind of eerie how much Cody reminds me of Kosar. He throws an extremely catchable ball, and his short to mid-range accuracy is something to behold. The TD pass to Pryor was absolutely stunning. Double coverage, one place to put it, and BOOM. An amazing throw and catch IN THE RED ZONE people. Kessler displayed the accuracy last week in the two point conversion to Gary. There were several other passes where Cody lead our receivers perfectly and they were able to get YAC. That will be key to our team moving forward, but like I said, decent defenses are not going to miss those tackles. I thought he was calm, cool, and collected...especially considering we got down 14 points right off the bat. The Bad: Cody holds onto the ball WAY too long at times. We've probably screwed up every screen play we've tried to run this year, and we've actually struggled to execute them since 'Nam ended. Cody appeared to look for only Pryor (can't blame him), and also Gary. Cody is also very slow. TOO slow to be an NFL starter I think. The Ugly: The pick to seal the deal. To be honest, it appeared that Pryor could've done more to get in the way of Norman, even if only to knock the ball down. Pryor could've shielded Norman away, hit the breaks to cause a collision...something. Pryor didn't go to meet the ball (which you don't do on a slant, but had to here to deny the pick), and Norman is talented, so he caught the ball. I'm not saying this is on Pryor, I'm really not, but it APPEARED that he could've gotten in the way more. Cody underthrew the pass, and was playing with fire by going after Norman again. The sad thing is, I THINK we either just got a first down, or we had 2nd and 2. Crow had another terrific run to get us off the goal line, and I don't remember what happened after that. It doesn't matter...we turned it over for the 3rd time in a row, and I'm left hating the fact that my beloved team can't do anything but figure out ways to lose in painful fashion. But hey, guess what? At least we get the Patriots next week, who just got shutout, and the best QB of all time gets to play. Yaaaaaay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could always be another team that had him graded as high as us. It's not open book. When it comes to QBs, if you like a guy, take him sooner rather than later. For a third round pick, this guy already looks like at the very least a solid backup with a long career with the ceiling of a decent starter. I'll throw a third at that.
