If you read brownsdailydose.com regularly, then you know that I like Browns head coach Hue Jackson.

And now that he has, in new General Manager John Dorsey, someone supporting him instead of cutting his legs out from under him, as he did in former Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown, I’m convinced that Jackson will prove his worth as the coach of this team going forward.

Despite that, frequent visitors to this website also know that I will not hesitate to criticize, or correct, Jackson when it’s deserved.

And, with some of the things he said on Wednesday in his press conference, Jackson deserves it.

Twice, as a matter of fact.

Jackson was asked if he has ever seen a season for a rookie quarterback like the one that the Browns’ DeShone Kizer has had this season.

“No, I haven’t, but there is a first time for everything,” Jackson said. “That is just the way it has been. He will be better for it in the future. There is no question he will be better for it. I think we all will.

“This has been tough for all involved, but at the same time, boy, what an experience and what an opportunity in real time to figure it out. As I said before, the guy is talented. I truly believe that he is going to be a good player as you keep going through it, but it is tough. It is tough going through it.

“There are some things that you continue to even scratch your head about, but I think he is working through it. He gets it. He is accountable to it. He knows there are some things he has to fix, and he is trying.”

Jackson has never seen a rookie quarterback go through a season like Kizer has had? Really? If he kidding?

Just about every quarterback who has ever played in the NFL – even the ones who have gone on to true greatness — has had a Kizer-like rookie season, if you will.

Ever hear of a guy named Terry Bradshaw? The Pro Football Hall of Famer was absolutely awful for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a rookie in 1970 – and was not much better in 1971, either, and actually into parts of 1972 and ’73, as well – before he finally got his act together.

Then there’s Jackson’s answer to a question asking him if he thinks Kizer is feeling additional pressure to force plays due to the Browns’ winless record.

 “I don’t,” Jackson said. “You would have to ask him that. I hope that is not what he feels, but I get it that those are the things that come with all of this. He just has to fight that.

“It is still playing in the moment. You don’t have to make every play. Every play is not a good play. Sometimes you have to live for the next play. I think he has had a couple of experiences here over the last couple of weeks where these things have broken his heart. Hopefully, you either learn from them and keep growing or you will succumb to them. I think there is growth there.

“I think he has to continue to grow and get better.”

Wait a minute. Jackson doesn’t think Kizer feels pressure to make plays? Really?

As I wrote the other day, of course Kizer feels that pressure. The Browns need to win a game – now. As the quarterback, Kizer knows he’s the guy most responsible for getting that done.

Why is that so hard to figure out? And what’s so amazing – so different, so unique – about it?

Come on, Hue.
