check your sources.  Also, Goff was good last year too and he definitely wanted Watson last year.  That’s why he is still there.  He was right and got overruled by guys trying to tank (which is why the new GM has a very easy job now).

To be fair, it's reported that Hue has multiple media outlets that he leaks info to (which is the whole basis of the tweet in the first post), so it could just be a case of hindsight correction.

 

I assume Peter King is one of them - the others, harder to guess maybe? At the end of the day, I would take everything (even my own opening post) with a grain of salt. But still, fun to speculate!

Yeah, leading up to the draft it was reported over and over th at Jackson loved Goff but wasn't sold on Wentz. When St. Louis traded up for Goff, Cleveland traded down.

 

Mike Silver is good buddies with Jackson too and it's rumored Jackson leaks stuff to him and others a lot.

Hue also wanted to draft Wentz and Watson.  Funny that the offensive coach wanted to get a qb.

 

 

Sure he did.....

"What coach wouldn't want Wentz at this point? Better yet, what coach would want it known that he DIDN'T WANT WENTZ at this point?

Jackson clearly wants us to believe that he doesn't fall into the latter category, even if all of the reporting prior to Sunday — most of it from the NFL Network's Mike Silver, a close friend of Jackson — said that Jackson was on board with the Browns passing on Wentz, and that he preferred Goff."

 

"After the Browns' debacle of a Halloween, when they failed to execute a trade for Bengals backup A.J. McCarron, Silver tweeted that the two QBs Jackson "has wanted most since taking over are Goff and Garoppolo." (A day before the Browns were willing to give up second- and third-round picks for McCarron, whom Jackson coached in Cincinnati, the 49ers acquired Jimmy Garoppolo from the Patriots for a second-round pick.)"

 

"In that piece, Silver said Jackson "was blown away" (there's that description again) by Robert Griffin III's workout with the Browns, and thus the coach "became less desperate to draft Goff."

 

"Also in that story, Silver wrote that "neither Jackson nor Brown were as convinced about Wentz, nor was Brown's analytics team (chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta said publicly the Browns didn't believe he was a "top 20" quarterback)."

 

Here's the best (and all you need about Hue's grasp on the QB spot (and how his "media mouthpieces" are full of crap):

 

 That piece had a quote from Jackson on Griffin's now-infamous workout with the Browns. Let's just say it's one the coach would probably like to have back.

"Other than Carson Palmer coming out of SC, this might have been the best quarterback workout I've ever seen," Jackson said in the story. "I mean, it was phenomenal."

 

So...Hue didn't want Wentz.  He wanted Goff, until he saw RG3 and figured they din't need Goff.

 

This guy's current employment can only be chalked up to the serial incompetence of the Browns FO.

Nope.  See above.

Ironically, when you read the original post he is talking about, the writer did in fact, just make it up!

Josh Norris says the Browns didn't tell the media who they are taking at one, which means Jackson doesn't know, because he says Jackson would have told. 

 

There is not a fact or even a secret source. he just literally made it up. And it gets reported as news.

It’s fine. You believe your link, I’ll believe mine. And even IF yours is closer to the truth, what a loser Jackson is for “settling” for a 2nd year qb who threw 28 tds to 7 ints for the highest scoring team in the nfl.  What an idiot!!!

I wouldn't say that he just made it up, but rather drew a conclusion based on empirical evidence.

 

There are 2 points that we can draw this from:

1. Hue has a history of leaking to the media, and has a few known mouthpieces

2. Media has no clue who the Browns are taking

 

Hence, Hue doesn't know. I'm totally simplifying it, and drawing my own conclusions, but take that for what it's worth.

Jackson has to make the playoffs if he even wants to have a chance to keep his job...

I still dont know why he wasnt fired after last season.   You could tell Dorsey wanted him gone when he took over.

 

I saw a compelling argument somewhere that made the case that keeping Hue acted as a safetynet for Dorseys first year and allowed a scapegoat like the colts did with Ballard and Pagano.

Browns RG3 was nowhere near Redskins rookie RG3. He had been figured out long before that.

From everything I hear thisis pretty standard.  Dorsey wont let his intentions known til Wed night to Haslam and Thursday morning the team.  I expect Beane to be similar.  I think Beane and Mcdermott have similar trains of thought but Beane will finally say what his plan is to Terry Kim and Mcdermott.
