I have to say Shelton is playing well. I called him out earlier in the year. I missed on that comment.

I have to say Shelton is playing well. I called him out earlier in the year. I missed on that comment.

He's played what, 3 complete games? Withought any legitimate reps in TC.

None of the QBS coming out this year even seem on the Goff/Wentz level of hype, and while the media will fix that come draft time, I think that's part of the reason I'm "Ok" with giving him the rest of this season, and letting him have the whole offseason as "The Guy".

Also I want Myles Garrett.

I thought Kessler played well. Pryor is fantastic. We need a legit #2 - Hawkins is a slot guy and Louis had a tough day but hopefully he can learn and improve.

we need to be able to run the ball

When could we run the ball last year....?

Amazing the lack of respect given to Kessler after playing a good game against a top 10 defense with a beat up line and a slot receiver starting instead of our speedster.

j/c:
I also heard about Pryor criticizing the media for being disrespectful because they asked Kessler about his family.

I am wondering if anyone else noticed the tiff between Hue and Pryor on the sidelines. Looks like Hue was trying to talk to him and Pryor blew him off. Hue looked disgusted and/or irritated.

Amen brother...

Wentz, the guy everybody was drooling over and wanted to fire our FO for not taking has lost his last 2 games and through 6 games is...

65% completions, 7.6 ypa, 237 ypg, 7 TDs, 1 INT, rating of 99.9

Kessler, who may some day be a decent back-up, through 4 games is...

65.6% completions, 7.1 ypa, 216 ypg, 4 TDs, 1 INT, rating of 93.8

and currently has a higher QB rating than Newton, Palmer, Manning, Rodgers, Marriota, Lynch, Siemien, Flacco, Winston...

i watched the Eagles game on my phone when Browns were on commercial and often between plays. Wentz took a beating and he looked like a deer in headlights out there. He had 5-7 seconds most of the year and that wasnt there yesterday and he paid for it. He would already be on IR if he was behind our OL and may be on IR in another week with the hits he is likely to take in the coming weeks.

Did anyone else notice that it looked like Shelton has dropped some weight?

Cody has impressed me. You obviously disagree with that

If you wanna have a real, intelligent conversation about the two....PM me............because it would be almost impossible in the public forums w/all the BS posters who act like they know all there is to know about QBs and the game.

I did post my post-game thoughts. I did NOT mention one single poster, than I gotta come on here and read the crap that Canada started.

And what are you doing? In fact, that is about all you do.

Cody Kessler has played better than expected given where he was drafted. What he is showing now is pretty much what he showed in college. He is tough. He is a leader and he can be accurate.

However, his limitations are also evident. If you watch his mid-level out patterns it is plain to see. He can not fire the ball. The ball has low velocity and floats. He simply does not have the arm to make certain throws with consistency.

He can to a degree compensate with timing. But what can happen is that: he will telegraph the throw and guys will jump the route because there will be time to make that move.

There is no comparison to Wentz. Wentz is just a bigger stronger guy who can make every throw required.

That does not mean that Cody can not be effective. It simply means he has limitations.

j/c:

--Shelton played a very good game. Murray has been running roughshod over other NFL defenses. We did a great job on him and Shelton's play was a huge factor in that.

--Kindred and IC absolutely suck in coverage. I have been saying it all year. I find it hard to believe that anyone would still say they can cover after yesterday's game. Those plays were more out in the open and impossible to miss. But, they have sucked all year.

--I thought the hit on Poyer was a clean football hit. I feel bad he got injured, but man, that was a nice hit.

--Kessler was up and down for me. He was very gutty. He did not throw a pick. He extended plays. He made some nice throws. On the other hand, he made a couple of bad decisions w/bad throws and was bailed out by Pryor making great plays on the ball. The one where he rolled left and lofted one back across the field had pick 6 written all over it. Pryor knifes between two defenders and makes the catch. The one TD pass was similar.

--It would have been nice to run more, but I think the book is in on the Brown's offense w/Kessler at qb. Stack the LOS, take away the win, allow Kessler to dink and dunk while taking away the big plays. Not saying it will always work, but that is what teams are going to do. Kessler will have some inflated numbers like he did yesterday, but the Browns will still lose.

--Has our kicker missed a kick after his first-game debacle?

--Joe Haden sure misses a lot of games, but is always good to talk about basketball and have fun on the sidelines.

--Erving is football dumb. How many times can he make the wrong decision and leave guys unblocked?

--I am getting sick of all the penalties that are called in NFL games. There is very little flow to the games because of all the damn calls.

I am just a bit gun-shy because of all the crap on here...
