More or less known that since last night...really too bad, this was likely a playoff team with him in that weak-assed division.

i think playoff team is a bit of a stretch. the next 4 games will be a bit of a reality check for this team. the reality is, with hoyer, cleveland is probably an 8-8 team. without him? 7-9, 6-10, whatever. hoyer is still under contract next year and will bridge the gap from next season until whenever their qb draftee is ready to start.

the one redeeming thing about this is that hoyer's injury effectively allows brandon weeden to play himself out of cleveland entirely, with no questions about surrounding cast or anything else.

I was basing that on 8-8 making the playoffs, which in this division is a possibility. 9-7 would be a stretch, but given the second half of the schedule, not an impossibility. This will definitely jettison Weeden for good.

i just assume baltimore will be the cocksuckers that they are and pull wins out of their ass enough to go 9-7 and win the division. i see probably another 4 wins with a handful of games that cleveland hangs in long enough for weeden to throw a missile through his wr's hands from 3 yards away for an int.

To the contrary - it seems like Baltimore is imploding lately. It's very possible this team can sweep Cincy and Pittsburgh, then obviously Jacksonville. That's 7 wins. All needed would be an upset over Detroit, GB, NE, Baltimore or beating the Jets with Geno, who might be worse than Weeden.

As crazy as it sounds, 8-8 is a very real possibility with winning this division. Especially if we pound Pittsburgh.

It all hinges on Weeden. The Oline is getting a little push. I'm not saying Brandon has to be the form he was in pre-season. If he doesn't turn the ball over and this defense can clean up the bad angles ( get Sheard, groves and Bryant healthy). Who knows? Could be in for a crazy 2nd half of the year.

sucks for hoyer...finally looks like he could be our quarterback for the next year or 2 and goes down with a typical cleveland injury...weeden has the arm for chuds offense if chuds offense asked the QB to hold the ball for 8 seconds...chud and norv maybe have to re-think their gameplan and go for more short routes to help get the ball out faster...beyond that its up to weeden who missed multiple receivers last game...i see no reason to trade for a kirk cousins or some other backup right now in the league...weeden is pretty much that...we have to live with what we have at this point...a great defense, great TE, up and coming WR, above average OL, and then a bunch of shit...next 4 games will tell the tale...i can see us going 0-4...our defense cant win em all

So, if he is better than Weeden, they don't want to pay him to help win games?

I don't see how benching Weeden for Campbell does anything for the Browns now or in the future. I think it's a done deal that the Browns will be drafting a QB but if Weeden can improve a little they might be able to move him for a pick. Best case he turns into not garbage and keeps the offense moving.
