I'm giving my boy his own thread. This Sunday he becomes the 26th starting QB since 1999.
Some college highlights:
The good: Before the draft I liked his feel in the pocket, toughness, and thought his lack of arm strength was really over-stated. He's got a nice snap in his delivery, and throws tight spirals with accuracy. His accuracy remains excellent even when he's throwing on the run. Cleveland media is having a fit after he supposedly sucked up the pre-season, but the fact is he went 19 of 28 for 98 yards, 1 score and no turnovers, with a Passer Rating of 85. So he didn't light the world on fire, but he didn't really shit the bed either, and that's how people are talking.
The bad: Obviously he's had nowhere near the clipboard time you want a QB to get before his first action. He's accurate with his passes, but I don't think he throws with anticipation yet. He certainly hasn't learned how to throw receivers open. I think he's more of a "see that a guy's open then throw it to him" qb right now, and he'll be susceptible to getting picked by defenders closing on those passes. Even worse, the middle of his line is all kinds of fucked up and Suh is on the other side of it. If there's anyone in the league who would love to injure Kessler with a late shot more than Suh I can't think of who it would be. Hue will need to be retrained in his play calling and not put him in unreasonable situations.

19 completions for 98 yards is exactly what's wrong with the kid. He is a dink and dunk with no arm.
But he is my QB now & unlike some I can look past that. Praying he finds it & is the guy.

Watch the highlights. He's got an arm if he can get 3 seconds of protection.

I am not going to do anything but root for the kid. If he for some reason is the real deal then it changes everything.

Hue Jackson says "You'll have to trust me on this one".
I wouldn't miss this game for the world. I hope he does well!
I also hope I win the lottery tomorrow, buy my own island and marry the super models of my choice.

I also hope I win the lottery tomorrow, buy my own island and marry the super models of my choice. I will probably be playing outside with my kids for the 2nd straight week during the game. So I guess I would miss this game for the world. If they make you miserable you can just do something else pal.

I'm hoping they just give Whitehurst this start. Let him take the beating while Kessler studies for another week. Colt was taken earlier than Kessler, and even he wasn't forced in until week 6.

I am guessing this is referring to your Johnny love but God only knows with this broken English.

I am guessing this is referring to your Johnny love but God only knows with this broken English. First off, that late night posting can not be held against me, alcohol was involved. But Tommy knows what I am talking about with his Johnny Love comment. I backed Johnny when he was drafted but Tommy didn't like him. This lead Tommy to make fun of everyone who back the current Browns QB. Now the tables were turned where guys didn't like RG3 but Tommy did. Tommy starts throwing out comments about us not supporting the current QB. In Tommy's mind, this is logic
