RG3 is going to take a rookie under his wing and teach him? Teach him what exactly? How NOT to play QB?

How to not slide?

still not sure Griffin is as butt ugly as so many here assume
time will tell this tale ... not the Washington experience

He literally can't be any worse than that slapdick they cut earlier this year.

Thinking they still end up drafting Wentz #2 overall.

HammerDown · Mar 25, 2016

So I'm hearing on the radio that RGIII is saying he basically "chose" the Browns as his best option? Puhlease! The guy took what he could get and it's the absolute bottom of the barrel. The New York freaking Jets would have been a better option but not even they wanted him.

Blitzville · Mar 25, 2016

Hopefully the Browns trade down for extra picks and focus on shoring up their line and getting some damn receivers that can create separation and catch the damn ball!

Character issues aside, RG3 is by far the best QB Cleveland has had on the roster in years. He's still young, he's super talented, completes passes at a good clip and has good NFL experience.

If Jackson is a talented QB "whisperer", he won't need to waste a 1st rounder on a less than stellar top tier group.

Not a Brown's fan, but enough is enough with the buffoonery. Draft some WR's already. Give your QB a fighting chance and protect him and give him some viable targets!

Have you seen him play in the last 3 years?

Feel the same way about RG3 not being butt ugly, but the set up in Clevland looks nasty for a QB. The OL took a hit and the WRs leave a lot to be desired.

Man, the Browns are setting new records of suckiness.

They blew it with the head-coach hire, they just signed a useless QB who can't even do what he used to be good at doing any more (scrambling), and they're about to leave the best 2 QBs on the board (Cook and Goff) in lieu of future mediocre QB: Carson Wentz. :der:

If Jihadi terrorists are looking for more suicide bombers, they'd be smart to look in Cleveland. :deadhorse:

Funny how most football minds seem to disagree with your QB rankings...

And they'll all be eating crow in 4 years when I bump the Connor Cook thread.

That could fit CLE, but it still makes sense...you could be a tad jaded, or you could be 100% right, they're paying $6.75mil to find out...not too bad....let's say discover a game...lol.

Sounds right where I'd put him. Not that starter money, not even Foles money. But the top tier of that stopgap situation money (the Hoyer, McCown, Sanchez, Henne, Chase Daniel money).

And no reason to guarantee more than a year there.

McNown deserved to continue to start for the Browns, man he has gotten the whole screwed over treatment. Firstly, he had to deal with idiots were trying to start Manziel at every chance while being over scrutinized for every little mistake. Secondly he performed well last year, the Browns found ways to lose in spite of McNown's play. Now he is hardly mentioned and has basically lost the starting job to an inferior quarterback, who got ran out of another city. On top of that, the Browns morons that they are still plan to draft a quarterback, as if they don't have plenty of holes on the team. So if the "qb guru" Hue revitalizes the career of one RG3, the rookie quarterback, mr. 2 overall pick gets to ride the bench until RG3 sucks again while McNown on the other hand is walking around mumbling to himself.

Trade the fuck down, you need talent, you need more picks, you build through the draft.

If you want to hang your hat on a 58% completion college QB, that's your prerogative. Enjoy Bo Callahan.

YPA is more important than completion percentage, and Cook's was like 8.2 before his shoulder injury.

Is that supposed to be impressive? In this draft, that puts him behind Adams, Hogan, Doughty, Allen, Boykin, Driskel, Goff, Sudfeld, Lynch, etc for 2015.

Damn, that's well behind NFL picks like Tebow, Mallett, Claussen, Keenum, Kellen Moore, Sanchez, Dixon, Brohm, Brennan, Beck, Jamarcus Russell, Leinart, Young, Troy Smith, Gradkowski, Sorgi, Dorsey, Grossman, David Carr, Weinke, Rohan Davey, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Quincy Carter, Brandon Weeden, Bobby Hoying, Ty Detmer, Danny Wuerfful, Matt Barkley, and Ryan Leaf.

If YPA at the college level is as important as you say it is, what does Cook have to do to improve his game to get to their level of play at the NFL level?

Against the defenses he usually faces? Very.

RegentDenali · Mar 27, 2016

Watch.

The Browns will win a couple, including some upset with RG3 as a one man show. Their fans will start having a little hope. Then RG3 will blow out his knee again.

Operation "run for your life" isn't going to end well.

Schmoopy1000 · Mar 27, 2016

as far as RGIII & Cleveland it makes perfect sense. This is where QBs go to die.

On a serious note not a bad plan for Cleveland. 6.7 avg salary (think I read) that is on the high side of a back up QB anymore. Let RGIII take the abuse as Clev. gets their shit in order for their QB they draft this year. Instead of destroying your brand new shiney penny you drafted this year. If by strike of Lightning, RGIII ends up living up to his potential while here (trying not to laugh) Now Clev. has an excellent problem to have.

Now on the RGIII side of things. Unless this was his only option, I have no clue what he was thinking.
