RG3 Signs with the Browns
-
Dream scenario. RG3 to Gordon becomes the next Brady to Moss. Except they don't shit the bed and actually win the Super Bowl. No way that happens we're doomed for eternity. I think this board is so defeated you expect misery. Even the optimistic ones are jaded as fuck.

Hue Jackson fell in love with Robert Griffin III at private workout
Well Hue, we all know RG III can look great in a t-shirt throwing passes to guys who have no one covering them. I'm more than a little concerned about all the reports he can't read defenses worth a damn. Of course, should we get Josh back it may not matter, because Flash will usually be open by 10 yards.

When you sign a QB with 2 busted knees and cant beat out Colt Fucking McCoy... Your really reaching,...

So for the moment it's going to be RG3 then Goff/Wentz then Pryor? on the depth chart

right? who knows with this team. i'm thinking shaw is the 3rd but that'd mean that RG3 is the only vet QB on the roster which is kinda disturbing as well. maybe they'll keep shaw on the PS and keep the 'other' guy that started a game for us last year. forget his name but he reminds me of a not-gay quinn.

Shaw and Davis, could be but with them being farmer picks, they're goners.

I'm glad rg3 is on the team because "Robert Griffin the turd" is my favorite moniker in the NFL

Imo, Romo's homos is better. I'm hoping Kap inks with the dallas team... Colon Cowboy.

I want to know details of the contract. If it's $2M per, good. If it's $12M per, that's terrible.
BUT
If the actual plan is to deal McCown [someone we signed as a street FA] for a 2 or 3 to the Jets, then that's a great art of dealing by Sashi.
I still don't understand what RG3 has to do with any of this. We're already quite competent at losing games with the backups - shaw, davis. What role does RG3 play in all of this other than "unnecessarily petulant locker room cancer" ?

don't understand either....if we draft a qb at number 2...then we expect that guy to be our franchise qb, no?....why would rg3 go to a team to be a bridge qb?..because that is exactly what he is...I just have yet another bad feeling about yet another bad move....and he is injury prone...why spend the money on an injury prone bridge qb....
-
IMO what does RG3 have to lose he has a chance to be a starter for at least this year. The only way for him to make it is if he plays well, if not then on to whoever we drafted. A smart decision for our front office I believe we sign a veteran QB who has to prove he can still play or be out of the league.

Apparently Hue Jackson "fell in love with RG III" at the personal workout, and he displayed "freakish" accuracy and incredible speed. After the workout, Hue told our management team and owners that he wanted him, and Haslam said, "Go and get him."
I'm not saying that this guy is going to reinvent the wheel, but it's worth noting that Hue Jackson has a knack for working with QB's, and getting the most out of them. To me, playing QB in the NFL is about 90% between the ears...ESPECIALLY in Hue Jackson's system. Jackson wants the ball out in about 2.5 seconds, so the QB must know pre-snap reads, and have excellent knowledge of the offensive system. RG III was never considered "dumb", and he appears bright. Can he really take advantage of a fresh start? Is he truly healthy? How will he handle adversity?
Lots of questions, but I don't see how this is a bad signing. Again, I'm not exactly getting my hopes up, but I'm glad we made this signing. The more darts you throw at the wall, the more chances you have for success.

I will support him for one reason ....that he is a Brown .....he deserves a chance to impress
GO RG3

Good signing imo. I had a feeling Hue might end up in Cleveland, and even suggested it would be a good move during the season. I don't think anyone accurately predicted RGIII signing though lol.
Still, I think he can be coached up and built around like the Bengals did with Dalton. He's certainly more athletic.
I've seen some jabs taken at the Browns for this offseason, but personally I think it's been a good one for you guys. I do expect some sort of rebuilding phase next year, but you didn't overpay for guys that seemingly didn't want to be there. Also, you got a good offensive mind leading the team in Hue Jackson.
Hopefully for the Brown's sake, he gets some input on the draft. I honestly think the Browns should just roll with BPA on offense (maybe a WR?) and forgo the QB pick this year. None of them are really impressive to me, and if RG3 doesn't pan out, you probably have a high pick next year to address the position. If Hue really likes one of the young QBs this year, that's a different story of course, but I would never reach for a QB just to take one. Especially if you have good talent on the board that can help your QB succeed now.
Good luck, and I hope to see some exciting games in the future between the Bengals and Browns.

Well great, we have at least two Steelers come praising the signing.

I'm curious. I see a lot of stuff calling a player "injury prone". What does that exactly mean? I've seen guys miss their first few years then have4 a great career. Z for the Cavs comes to mind 1st. And I. Seem to remember every starting qb in the AFCN missing a good bit of time to injury. As a matter of fact, the SB winner missed time too. Name any qb and there could be a case made about injuries. There are exceptions of course but very few. So what defines injury prone from missing games every year to injury?
-
Never thought I'd see 2 of the top 3 picks from the 2012 draft in Cleveland.
Side story, poetic justice was delivered. I was living in the noVA/DC area when RG3 was drafted by the skins.
I was downtown Clarendon watching the draft. Saw two grown men already in RG3 jerseys hug and cry when he was drafted. Friends of mine from the area (noting that I was a Browns fan) poked fun at me for my team not getting a QB like Robert.
4 years later, I feel its nice to say that I've had the last laugh. I've sent out half a dozen texts, yet to receiver a response from any of them.

Hue Jackson fell in love with Robert Griffin III at private workout
Hue Jackson fell in love with Robert Griffin III at private workoutI liked this quote best out of the whole article.
"In the coming weeks, Griffin will begin workouts with Tom House, the quarterback guru who has a strong relationship with Jackson. House has worked with quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Carson Palmer, and he understands Jackson's system, which will allow Griffin to get started on private work despite rules that will largely limit the interaction between Jackson and Griffin for the coming months."
I got to see him "live" at Baylor and back in those days he could throw 50 yard darts. I like the potential of this signing even more than either of the two future QB choices.

I honestly don't see know how anyone can see this as a bad signing.
I don't get it. What did we give up for him? We gave him a two-year contract.
OK.
So that means he replaces McCown.
We are replacing a 37 year old statue with a career 78 rating with a mobile 26 year old with a 90 rating.
What's the problem again?
RGIII is injury prone? McCown missed half the season last year and has started 13 games in a season just once. Griffin twice.
Maybe some people are scared that means that the Browns are not going to draft their coveted QB prospect. That's not the case. Grif has a two year contract. He has a tryout. He takes the hits this year while we develop a QB of the future.
And if RG3 takes it and runs with it and plays like a star? Great. He becomes an asset. Having a good QB backed up by a potential stud would just be hell, wouldn't it?
Griffin/Wentz > McCown/Manziel
Congratulations Cleveland Browns and Hue Jackson. You are making smart decisions at the most important position on the field.
