Yes Brian Hoyer gave Cleveland life last year after taking over for Brandon Weeden, but the truth is that he is a terrible QB. He has a career destined as a backup. Pittsburgh will be ready to make a statement after starting so slowly last season.

Now they are without suspended Browns wideout Josh Gordon, who had 319 yards in the last two games to Pittsburgh. That is nearly half of the Browns production to them. Steelers rookie linebacker Ryan Shazier will lead a young and very improved unit.

Cleveland has top three WRs of Andrew Hawkins, Miles Austin and Taylor Gabriel. So a backup QB throwing to one of the worst WR corps in the league. Cleveland is doomed on OL if there is an injury. They have since signed two extra linemen Ryan Seymour at guard and Vinston Painter at tackle. Those two and free-agent signee Paul McQuistan are the backups.
