Hue Jackson

For the third time this season, Hue Jackson, you are in the Dawg House.

This now puts him into the Dawg House Hall-Of-Fame. If he is chosen again as the top candidate, he will have a number added to it. For example, if he’s chosen three more times, he will be considered a three-time HOF, etc.

Each week, I wonder more about Jackson and his decision making. When he spoke to CBS Cleveland about switching quarterbacks in the second half, he spoke about not playing “musical chairs,” with the position, and that Kessler was still the starter.

So why take him out in the first place?

Some speculated it was because Kessler was incapable of throwing deep, and McCown can. But it turned out he gave the team a better chance to win.

How did that turn out?

The worst thing any coach can do to a young player is crush their confidence–and have them looking over their shoulder.  If they  choose a player to start, they should stick with them unless otherwise. No coach should ever mess with a quarterback’s psyche.

Kessler will likely get the start on Sunday against the Steelers, but he could be pressing since he’ll be worried about McCown or somebody else coming in if he struggles.

Jackson is also still failing at inserting the run.

He’s still not giving Isaiah Crowell or Duke Johnson enough carries throughout the game. One of them will have a great first half, and then they completely disappear in the second half. There isn’t any balance to the offense.

It’s still puzzling to me how he ran the ball so much in Cincinnati, and barely does it here. The talent and roster isn’t as deep as the Bengals, but we’ve seen Crowell and Johnson have big games. They know the offensive line is bad, they’ve improvised.

Sashi Brown has already came out and given Jackson the infamous “vote of confidence” pertaining to his job. It’s a long, agonizing process for fans and the organization. I do not want to fire Jackson at all.

Somehow, patience still has to be a virtue after 17 years.

I still believe Jackson will turn this around, but still question some of his decisions and play calls. But hey, i’m just a sportswriter.
