With Cleveland playing well as a team and coming off a last-second victory over Atlanta that puts it half a game off of first place at 7-4 in a very competitive AFC North, all must be well in Browns country, right?
Well, not quite. Because despite starting quarterback Brian Hoyer orchestrating an excellent last-minute, 61-yard drive for the win, he played very poorly overall for the second straight week.
Were these performances just blips or the beginning of a dangerous trend? Moreover, is Hoyer the long-term solution at QB for the Browns or just an accident waiting to happen? Would the team be better off with Johnny Manziel next season?
Here's a look at why most signs point to Hoyer not being the long-term solution in Cleveland -- even if he's the best option the Browns have at the moment.
