Things just keep getting weirder in Cleveland. The Browns have demoted last week’s starting quarterback Kevin Hogan to the third string, according to Field Yates and Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Meanwhile, former No. 3 QB Cody Kessler has been elevated to No. 2 QB.
The Browns threw everyone a curveball in Week 6 when they benched rookie DeShone Kizer in favor of Hogan. On Wednesday morning, the Browns switched them back. Hogan did not perform well against Houston on Sunday, but it’s strange to see him cycled through the depth chart so quickly.
The bizarre shuffling of the QBs won’t do much to silence talk of discord between coach Hue Jackson and the front office. Jackson was a big proponent of riding with Kizer through his rookie mistakes this year. Meanwhile, the front office is high on Kessler, but it was said that Jackson did not plan to play him.
With Kessler now installed as the main backup, Kizer will return to his role as the starter this Sunday when the Browns face the Titans.
Can the beer sellers throw a spiral? I think they all just moved up in line to be starting QB in Cleveland.
What an organization. One week he’s good enough to start and the next he can’t even be the number 2? Why would anyone want to go there to play
The Indians season is over! How about one of their starting pitchers. Lost franchise!!
Cluster fluff
Fire Hugh now!!!!! He was suppose to be QB whisperer….idiot.
I think that they should give Kessler another chance. He wasn’t totally awful last year.
