BEREA, Ohio -- DeShone Kizer laid things out pretty simply after being named the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback.

Again.

“In this league you have to talk less and do more,” Kizer said Wednesday. “We come in every Monday after a tough loss and we have this discussion about all the things we need to do. We need to start doing those.”

Kizer’s one-game benching was designed to allow the rookie to view the game “from a different lens,” coach Hue Jackson said.

Now, Kizer goes from the second team back to starter, and QB Kevin Hogan -- who started Sunday in Houston -- goes from the starting lineup to the third team thanks to bruised ribs, after he had worked his way during training camp and the preseason from the fourth team to No. 2 on the depth chart. Cody Kessler, who started camp as the starter but fell to the third team to start the season, will be the backup.

Confused?

Let's lay it out. Through the course of training camp, preseason and six regular-season games (all losses):

• Kizer went from third team to starter to backup to starter.

• Kessler went from starter to third team to backup.

• Hogan went from fourth team to backup to starter to third team (due to injury).

• Brock Osweiler went from backup to starter to third team to cut.

Hogan is the only one of the four to hit all four spots, which in the Browns' world is an achievement of sorts.

While all this took place, Jackson continued searching for the first win of 2016 and the second of his career in Cleveland with a fan base growing more restless by the hour.

Kizer, meanwhile, has gone from being excited about starting to trying to juggle a winless team with questions marks at receiver -- all while handling a leadership spot on the offense when he is the youngest quarterback in the league and while fans on Twitter are picking front-office replacements (a non-scientific poll favors former QB Peyton Manning, with former Raiders CEO Amy Trask a distant second).

“That’s why this is, in my opinion, the greatest job on earth and also the most difficult job on earth,” he said. "All those things come into this."

Kizer has started down the well-worn path for Browns quarterbacks, the one where the walls are disintegrating around him and he has to stay strong, both for his development and for his team.

“I’m enjoying it,” Kizer said. “There’s no other place I’d rather be than right here going through the things that we’ve been going through. Because I’m learning who I am personally. I’m learning about everyone around me. It’s just going to make it that much sweeter when we do figure this thing out, I figure this thing out, and become the quarterback that I want to be.”

Kizer still leads the NFL in red zone turnovers with four, so that will be an emphasis for him as he prepares for Sunday's game against the Titans. But the emphasis for the team is to somehow find a way to get a win. It’s the only thing that will change the narrative about the team, and until the narrative changes it will only spin more negative.

As Kizer said, nothing anyone says can change a thing.

It’s about what the team can do.
