The Browns "Quit"

The thing with Hoyer is that he didn't want to play the veteran mentor role that McCown can, and will.  The New Browns are notorious for tossing rookie QB's into the fire and giving up after 5-10 games, this time it looked like Hoyer and McCown were maybe going to attempt to develop Fartball.  Hoyer wouldn't do it because he wants to be a starter, and McCown can't stay healthy enough to keep Fartball off the field.

Doesn't much matter though, because Fartball looks like he's a bust.  Not that anyone looks good QB-ing that crap franchise, especially since the defense disappeared.
