BEREA, Ohio -- That's it, I'm off the DeShone Kizer bandwagon, momentarily. He pushed me off, convincingly, not by playing poorly, but by speaking authoritatively.
Rarely will you hear a more persuasive case for a quarterback watching and learning than the one the Browns second-round draft choice laid out Wednesday. Watch Kizer take the field with the first team during minicamp, and examine the other alternatives in Cody Kessler and Brock Osweiler, and you could easily talk yourself into Kizer taking the first snap in the opener on Sept. 10.
But no.
DeShone said no.
He's so far away from talking a timetable to play, he must not own a watch or a dining room.
