What Are The Browns Doing at Quarterback?

Who's at the top of the Depth Chart for the Cleveland Browns?  Since training camp it has been Cody Kessler, then Brock Osweiler, followed by DeShone Kizer.  Then Coach Jackson pulled the plug on Kizer, replacing him with Kevin Hogan.  Hogan earned the staring position, at least for a game, but the results were so bad that he went back to Kizer.   Kizer again struggled, and was replaced this time with Cody Kessler.  But now Kessler is back holding a clipboard, and Kizer is again firmly entrenched as the starter....at least for one half.  

That's seven quarterback changes.  Eight if you want to count RG3 being cut in the pre-season, along with backup Josh McCown.

This is nuts.  Putting a kid quarterback in too early (remember, he skipped his junior year at Notre Dame to play for the Browns) is a classic prescription for disaster.  Rule Number One is to not pull the starter when things go bad, in order to let the team know that the Coach has faith in them in tough times.  Is Hue really that clueless?

The Browns plan is to concentrate on the draft.  They have gotten rid of veterans in order to lose a few extra games and obtain better draft position.  I could imagine that Sashi Brown would be eager to start a rookie at quarterback in order to establish his draft priorities in 2018.  He wouldn't mind losing about 14 games and winding up in the top 5 again for the draft.   So, my question is, did Sashi order Hue to start Kizer?  

There is no evidence that the GM is meddling on that level, but otherwise I can't explain why it ever made sense to start a "project" quarterback in Game 1.   Kizer had good, not great seasons at Notre Dame, but left school two years early.  A normal progression would have him start to assert himself in 2020, not 2017.  Kizer did not have a good combine (raw talent, with an emphasis on raw).  He did not have a good preseason, either putting up a very low completion percentage.

You get the idea that would rather have someone else as the starter, but he keeps on coming back to Kizer as the starter even though it's clear that it's not working.  Is someone forcing him to do that?  It's madness.  Is it simply that we have decide to tank the season--again, and are hoping to lose more than the rest of the NFL?  

Otherwise, its bafflling that Hue would stake his reputation on a kid being ready three years earlier than normal. If he really thought that Kizer was the best choice to win to start the season, it's completely crazy.  Clearly, if his reputation is on the line, and I believe it is, he has whiffed badly.
