Thoughts on the Browns’ 19-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium:

*The Browns are 0-10 – 0-10! That’s numbing. As bad as it is, and feels, we don’t really grasp the full magnitude of it right now because we’re knee-deep in it.

*I know, I know the old saying, “If it’s and buts were candy and nuts, oh, what a Christmas it would be.” Still, the Browns could have easily won the game. They should have won the game. It was there for the taking. Just think what a victory over a team with as good of a record as the Jaguars would have done for the confidence of the young Browns. Oh, man!

*This is what we thought before the season that these games would be, that the defense would be pretty good but the offense would struggle. We just never thought in our wildest dreams that the offense would struggle this much, or that there would be so many turnovers, especially by rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer.

*So what should the Browns do with Kizer. Better yet, what can they do with him? Nothing, as Browns head coach Hue Jackson said after the game. Knowing that to have any chance to get this thing turned around he needs a quarterback, Jackson is going to keep Kizer in there so as to have as much information on him as possible. In that way, then, the Browns will know if they have to go back into the NFL Draft next year and use one of those prime picks to get another quarterback.

*And yes, they need to do that – that is, drafting another quarterback next spring. I’m not as down on Kizer as most people in that I still think he could develop, but with that having been said, the Browns have to assume that he won’t make it. To avoid going through something like this again next season, they’ve got to get another passer, and with the No. 1 overall pick, they’ll have the chance to get the best one available.

*Jackson, in acting as his own offensive coordinator and play-caller, needs to be much more patient with the running game.

*Even with that, and the plethora of losing, I still think Jackson is the right coach for this young team. He’s good – he’s … well, patient – with young players, and the Browns have a lot of them.

*And finally, I still would get rid of Sashi Brown. He messed up the quarterback situation, and getting that right is – or was – his primary job.

*Peyton Manning to the rescue? I think Haslam will do everything in his power to woo him.
