RG3 set to be a Brown ?
-
Shaw and Davis were undrafted for good reason. Perhaps Hue completed his evaluation of both, and realized why they were undrafted.
Perhaps Hue is giving RG3 a chance.. to be the taxi QB, which is more than he had last year.
Option B is possible, but OptionC is McCown/(Goff/Wentz)/RG3 on the roster for a "get your head right" year
If we bring in Goff/Wentz, Hue believes in them and they are the heir apparent, if not immediate starter, with McCown mentoring. If we bring in an RG3, it means Hue isn't completely sold on Wentz/Goff and envisions another player at #2 being more valuable to the team.
I don't know how Hue can be sure that RG3 is capable of a revival, but we have McCown to bridge regardless and RG3 should be cheap. It's a low-risk move to bring him in and see what he has. If he busts, no big deal. If he becomes what most expected him to be, then great, we have our QB. I just can't envision bringing in RG3 and then saying "We really love you, Goff/Wentz, but we brought in RG3 just to play games with your mind."

Hue is familiar with the Browns and the AFCN. ever consider he might see a value in having more than one starter at QB, as he builds his team up?
if they could get RG3 for 3-6M a year, i am all for it.

We barely have to pay him shit. Better than a trade for Kaepernick. Why not? RG, McCown and Davis next year. That will get us to our franchise QB. Build up the trenches till we can feel confident throwing a kid out there.

i hear ya but then draft him with what? we gonna luck into our future franchise QB at 15th overall?
fuck that. you go 16 yrs w/out a franchise QB and you like a QB that's available and are picking second overall, you take a QB. at least in my brain. anything else is irresponsible.
it's a billion dollar company, it takes $ to make $.
the good ones are rare, they never become free agents. they don't grow on trees or accidentally fall in your lap.
shiny things are super fun, but a franchise QB is worth a little sacrifice to me.
the only way i see Bosa et al is if they don't like Goff/Wentz etc. only then can it become a bpa luxury pick.
but if they like one of them QB should be a lock for that pick, even if they make other moves.
i hope they like Wentz as much as myself and many on this board do and we take him at 2, even if Jerry Jones offers 2 1st rd picks to switch us spots.
it's time to become known for making enviable moves.

I like the idea of RG3 about 10x as much as Kap. We're getting a guy with almost the exact same level of rebound upside who essentially got a year off.
I also trust Hue to get him in here and work him out.

i like option C. insurance, depth, talent and upside at QB w 2 potentially avg or better starters and a 1st rd talent already in-house being groomed for the future.
i love the idea, affordable too--all three for probably half what a franchise tagged QB would be. position SET...on paper.
I can totally see the draft bending another way . RG3 is good enough to put your faith in him above a high draft pic. What I'm saying...if RG3 goes to Cleveland they won't draft a qb in the first round.i like option C. insurance, depth, talent and upside at QB w 2 potentially avg or better starters and a 1st rd talent already in-house being groomed for the future.

Let's do it. RG3... maybe we could bring in Trent and end up with the #2 and #3 of that draft on the team. Reunited with Gordon we could have something special. DO IT!! HAHAHA

First let's see if the Jets will take our number 32 pick for Geno Smith.

if RG3 becomes a Brown, care to revisit this with a friendly wager?
even with 3 pro bowlers on the line we go through at LEAST 3 QBs every year. thinking RG3 would play 16 games is borderline insanity.

We were 6th in rushing last year. I can see improvement happening if they can build on that to give the offense some identity. (ranking let me find it...22nd overall)if RG3 becomes a Brown, care to revisit this with a friendly wager?

effectively running the ball would certainly help get it out of the QBs hands quicker. i'm in.

Never been to a Browns game. I would go and see the Cards play St. Louis very year tho. I live in Southern Il. I'm planning vacation in Aug with a preseason game in mind. It's the only time of the year I can take off work.i was more thinking something along the line of Browns knee socks. we'll sort it out.

sounds like you are overdue. have fun this summer you are in for a treat--great stadium experience imo. try to attend a regular season game at some point in the future if you can though, it cannot be duplicated.

I think if they sign RG3, it will be because they don't have faith in Josh this year. They sign RG as the stop gap guy and still draft a qb in the 1st rd. I like Mcown but man o man he sure took a pounding last year and at his age, well I just think they want younger overall

Ah.. calfox lite...
Word is this will be a done deal if his character references check out.

Q: When you asked RG3 to sit and not be part of the team in 2015, did he do that?
A: Yes.

Oh boy. The Browns sign RG3 Zombo will have a stroke over this one.
At least they are addressing the position. He's affordable and wouldnt cost a draft pick.
I wanted to trade up for him the year he came out in the draft... so maybe we will luck out and get the mature, humbled version.

Yeh, I wanted CLE to trade everything to get him in the draft.
Oh no! Wrong again!
But now he is available on-the-cheap!
He and McCown and maybe or maybe not a pick would be a good start.
