CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Call this a message for Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler.
We don't yet know if Kessler is a long-term answer at quarterback, but we do know the Browns need their rookie on the field.
Kessler has proven he can organize and run an offense. He has earned the respect of older players.
But in two of his five starts, he has been knocked out of the game before halftime.
Kessler needs to be on the field. And he needs to be smarter about his play to insure that he stays on the field.
