So what do the following have in common?

Bob Griese
Johnny Unitas
Dan Pastorini
Joe Namath
Archie Manning
Dan Fouts
Terry Bradshaw
Warren Moon
Eli Manning
Tim Hasselbeck




NFL quarterbacks who have posted a passer rating of ZERO. Which is lower than that of JFFs.

Sparkie didn't you read? One start... verdicts in... He done! All of the sudden, JFF forgot how to throw.

Youngest QB to ever start an NFL game, and he ain't ready...... yet. But he will be. Browns HC is an idiot for going with Hoyer who was a known quantity with very limited upside. Start #2 and yes the 2014 season is lost but your are building for '15 and beyond.

Texans should have drafted him as made him the starter day 1. They have a good D, good RB, good WR, they only needed QB and went with Ryan Fitzpatrick..... Not smart.

#2 will be fine. He may have a Ty Detmer career but he is good enough to be in the league. Though I'd suggest he take it much more seriously (not out at 2 AM on a travel day)

JFF was not youngest. Stafford played entire first season at 21. I am sure there are others.

Johnny can't freakin carry the Browns. In his first start he was expected to get into a shoot out, and if you expected Johnny to win a shootout in his first NFL start, then I should be ashamed for arguing against you.

The keys for Browns winning: RUN THE D*** BALL, bootleg, RUN THE D*** BALL, bootleg, RUN THE D*** BALL, screen/QB draw/bootleg + any kind of defensive effort.

The keys for Browns losing: Forget how to run block, forget how to catch, forget how to pass block, and forget how to tackle.

I would've thought the Ags, of all people, would know what happens when a rookie QB goes into a game with a sub-par surrounding cast (Freshman wideouts, Freshmen defense, poor blocking) and play calling (Spavital). QB's take time to develop, something no one has anymore (correct answers: time, developed QB's).

Johnny needs some help from a team and a system that allows his skills to be maximized.

In regard to the haters it is always going to happen when a person is considered to be a lightning rod, a hot dog, especially off the field.

Perception is the key. No matter what is reality for if the public and your ownership thinks you need to cool it and you do not then the other teams will want to bring you down. Bengals were gunning for him and the o line and d line were awful.

JM should not have thrown two passes. It cost him. The fact that the Browns d was awful and just let the Bengals run over them is immaterial. The penalties in the first drive set the stage for the rest of the game.
When you are up it is really easy to T off on the QB when all focus is on him. The rest of the Browns' team did not help much.

Tough circumstances to start under. The bengals clearly wanted that game more. Both players and coaches looked defeated. I don't take too much out of this game. Johnny pressed a lot trying to make a spark. But that game was lost before it ever started. I will wait and see how Johnny responds and I'd like to see if the team backs him. They are fractured right now.

Kosar rips the Browns


Has no one talked this? Bernie Kosar ripping the Browns front office for 15 years of QB crap.

What happened Sunday was a perfect storm, and it was also how the NFL is. Cleveland absolutely thumped Cincy a few weeks earlier, and as is true to fashion the watered down NFL, Cincy returned the favor. I think Johnny will be OK. His durability will be the biggest issue that he will face.
