Our line has literally got every QB killed this year.
And that's why playing Kessler is even worse. He still holds the ball too long, and results in sacks even when the line is blocking manageable. Sometimes he literally doesn't even move in the pocket. You can't do that in this league.
No one is making the proclamation the line is good, but to seriously not see the obvious bad mistakes he makes, you can't just say "oh it's because the line sucks". It's also because Kessler is making some serious rookie blunders too.
It's combination of bad blocking and really bad pocket awareness and movement by Kessler, which is going to result in him getting killed.
McCown isn't much better than. Neither are any of the other 20 QBs who've played. Kessler is far from perfect, but the Oline is far and way the biggest issue.And that's why playing Kessler is even worse.

is there really anything to be encouraged about for next year?
They tried to not play Kessler, but everybody got hurt. If McCown plays much more, he will get hurt. He's already been sacked twice in 2 series.
There's no reason not to get a read on Kessler in a lost season.
As I type this, McCown takes another sack...
If playing every snap in 10 years for the Browns isn't Pro Bowl worthy than I don't know what is.This O line is pathetic. Thomas doesn't deserve a pro bowl
