No...it's not easy to tell from the game film. And you don't call audibles in the fucking preseason in your first action...
Christ.
Kizer opens up more of your playbook because he can
1. Run
2. Move in the pocket
3. Is not awful
If you have the playbook down enough and the coaches trust you enough you are going to be allowed to audibles regardless of how long you have played in the NFL. Osweiler has free reign to change the plays at the line of scrimmage so he has the coaches trust when it comes to that. The question is can he make the throws needed and the jury will be out on Monday night since we really didn't see enough of Osweiler in the first preseason game to pass along an unbiased verdict. Kizer did all those throws against what is likely the worst defensive unit in the NFL so we need to see him against a better unit. I mean Mullaney was a 4.7 speed coming out of college and got behind the defender easily. Payton is not a burner either and blew by the guy. None of those guys playing on that defense will see a snap in the NFL this season, so we need to see more of both guys before we can truly make a judgement on either.
Also people really underestimate how athletic Osweiler is. In drills and times Kizer and Osweiler will put up about the same numbers. No matter what Osweiler has done in the past, you still have to give him the 2nd preseason game before you judge how he will be in Cleveland. Kizer down the line should be the better QB, but right now we have to play the one who can win us games regardless of the persons name and their past. Both QBs did a shitty job at times last season, so if we are going by last season then both of them are terrible and shouldnt be in the NFL.
