The Facts: The Browns waited to make it official. But HC Hue Jackson just did the as expected. During a conference call, Jackson didn't even wait for a question before saying: "DeShone is out starting quarterback."
Diehards Line:
Of course, Jackson all but said as much yesterday, after a not-embarrassing outing in the all-important (even if not that important) third preseason game. While he doesn’t know if he’s going to bother playing him this week in the preseason finale, Kizer made it clear he had the most upside of any of the Browns quarterbacks on hand, and biggest chance at being a long-term fix. Jackson also said he was still working through his backup situation, meaning the Brock Osweiler/Cody Kessler drama could still unfold, unless someone suddenly wants Osweiler.
