CBS Sports:

The Browns' next three games are at Jacksonville, home against Oakland and home against Tampa Bay. Those teams are a combined 1-16. The Browns have a real shot to be 6-2 ... Brian Hoyer mania is sweeping across Ohio, and for good reason. Now the hurdle is playing well without All-Pro center Alex Mack, who's gone for the year with a broken leg.

Washington Post:

"Yes, the Browns are for real. Coach Mike Pettine and QB Brian Hoyer have seen to that. They’ve been competitive in every game and they completely outplayed the Steelers on Sunday. Hoyer is thriving even without suspended WR Josh Gordon. Can the Browns be a legitimate playoff contender? That might be a bit of a stretch. But it cannot be completely ruled out at this point, and they already have taken several significant steps back toward respectability."

Sports Illustrated:

"There is not a superstar on this (Browns) roster. Nor does Cleveland seem to need one... which speaks to the all-for one mentality the Browns seem to have right now"

CBS Sports: Brian Hoyer mania is sweeping across Ohio, and for good reason.

Hoyer is #5 in the NFL in jersey sales this week, the only QBs ahead of him are Luck, Wilson, and Peyton Manning

Hoyer’s No. 6 jersey has accounted for 46 percent of all Browns’ jerseys sold in the last week. Sales of Cleveland Browns jerseys in general jumped to #3 in the NFL, behind the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles

it is the also first time Hoyer has passed up Manziel in jersey sales

Sports Illustrated:

"Brian Hoyer jerseys have finally started outselling Johnny Manziel jerseys nationwide for the first time"

Local outlets are selling Hoyer tees reading "Brian Cleveland" in all caps, "Home Grown Hoyer," etc

Hoyer is currently #3 in the NFL with two game-winning drives and #1 in the NFL with two comeback wins

He led Cleveland on a game-winning drive against the Saints after taking over at his 4-yard line with the Browns trailing 24-23 and 2:46 remaining.

He then led Cleveland to the biggest comeback win in NFL history, overcoming a 25-point deficit to defeat the Titans on Oct. 5.

and last week, he led Cleveland to a 31-10 beatdown of rival Pittsburgh. It was only the 2nd time in history the Browns have won at Heinz Field (the other was 2003). Cleveland hadn't beaten the Steelers so soundly since 1989. It was the first time the Browns beat a division-rival by 20-plus points since 2003. Roethlisberger came into the game with a 18-1 record vs the Browns (the loss was in 2009). ESPN: "The victory legitimizes Hoyer as the team's unquestioned leader."

Over the past six quarters, the Browns have outscored their opponents 50-10.

The Browns are this year's Kansas City. Build a strong record early by beating nobody, then will collapse down the stretch.

would be a miracle if Browns end up as good as the Chiefs last year (ten 2013 Pro Bowlers, finished 11-5, lost by 1 point to Colts in one of the most thrilling playoff games of all time)

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
