He had Carson Palmer at QB for part of that year. He really hasn't had anyone of note behind center since he's been in Cleveland.

All I can surmise is it must have been Sashi's decision alone to pass on Wentz two years ago and to trade out of the 12th pick this year and allow the Texans to get Watson. If Hue had supported those decisions behind the scenes, I can't imagine him still being there. I'm guessing he probably wasn't in favor of either of those moves. Kizer seemed like a pick they probably went away from their board for since all the other QBs were already gone.

Haslem seems to make all the wrong moves so maybe keeping Hue is just a continuation of that, but I don't think he's that bad. I don't like him as much as I like the job Todd Bowles has done in New York, but I do like Hue.

First of all, last year was not two years ago. Carson Wentz is a 2016 draft pick.

The Raiders also had a hard time keeping the same coach long enough. A little patience in the front office could have helped him because he managed to avoid a losing record. It isn't good when a QB like CP can't keep the starting job though and Hue Jackson was one of several head coaches who could not settle on a signal caller in Oakland.

Back to the draft. Jackson was the only HC to attend  NDSU's Pro Day because bad weather disrupted travel plans for the other 31. Cleveland was among only 12 teams that made it. What does that tell you about Sashi Brown overriding Jackson's interest in Wentz? Clearly Jackson knew enough about Wentz to be more interested in him than Brown.

You come off so salty all the time. Relax mama. Using the time period “2 years ago” to reference the draft that happened prior to the most recent one is perfectly acceptable and 99.9% of people wouldn’t have felt the need to “correct” me for it.

Your recollection of Hue’s season as HC in Oakland is incorrect.  He had Jason Campbell as starter for the first 6 games and lost him due to injury for the season.  They then traded two 1sts to Cincinnati for Palmer who was holding out and demanding a trade and he started the rest of the season for them.
