RG3 Signs with the Browns
-
While i like RG3 and i wanna see how he does with Flash Gordan, Barnidge, and whoever we draft it could be nice, but im a little weary that rg3 signed with us because no one else would give him a starting chance lil scary.

Of course that's what happened. Ok, maybe Hue is the sweetest talking man on the planet, but I'll stick to no one else wanted him as a starter.While i like RG3 and i wanna see how he does with Flash Gordan, Barnidge, and whoever we draft it could be nice, but im a little weary that rg3 signed with us because no one else would give him a starting chance lil scary.

The perception of Griffin is much worse then the actual production....but perception is reality anymore.
Good pick up, expecially if they build offense around him. But really the best thing that can happy for everyone is Josh Gordon to reinstated.

I hate this shit! How about first we let a QB show us he is worth building an O around?
To save space I'm not going to repost the Jersey of Sadness. I'll just note they probably should start another row, or the names are going to start hitting the floor.
Taller mannequin?
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."
Dangerous to fall in love... like I said, Hue has stuck his neck out.
But if this account is valid, then even more disturbing to me is Haslam having played a part in the decision.

yeah, this is a headscratcher indeed....they are saying rg3 is just going to be a bridge qb and will be looking to latch on with someone else eventually...why do we have to showcase this guy for other teams and pay him...jeeeez, this fo just constantly fucks up...draft the qb at number 2 and let him play..wentz looks like he has the tools...at least he has not had 2 knee surguries either...if jackson is this incredible coach that knows how to groom qb's, then groom the kid hue and let mccown the backup...he can pitch in also...this is just nuts....

RG3 was the best CUT/RELEASED/TRADEABLE QB on the market, that's why he's here. There were better QB options out there than RG3, but they would cost the Browns a compensatory pick. That's why Kap has been on the radar also. This is not rocket science.

Building a rocket is easy.

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?

It means he's had a lot of injuries.
http://sportsinjurypredictor.com/injury-predictor/player/25712 Is Sam Bradford injury prone? What I didn't like about that link is if RG III takes another shot to the twice rebuilt ACL knee- he's probably done. At least he's cheap realtively speaking.Maybe that bad attitude was all Gruden's fold?

You pick a QB in 2017 or 2018 with your top 3 pick. I think we all can agree that the most consistent way to build a better team is to build a solid defense. I think that was the Farmer/Pettine plan but don't think they fully committed to it.
If securing top QBs was easy Blaine Gabbert/Josh Mccown/Brian Hoyer wouldn't be starters
If securing a top defense was easy, the Browns wouldn't be picking guys like Gilbert and Mingo.
The Browns are in position to draft a top quarterback. This is not the time to chicken out.

It's not about being scared it's about the talent that's there, or not there. Wentz was the QB at North Dakota State and Goff was an underwhelming 14-23 at Cal.

those 2 are also rated far above the QBs that entered the draft in the past 2 years. so if you were screaming for mariota or bortles or winston or twatwater or the garrop, then why shy away from picking one now when the timing is right and the browns haven't picked a QB this high since couch in '99?
hell if we could get 4 all pro players for the #2 then i say trade away but those deals just don't happen anymore so you have to use it when you got it.

That's not looking deep enough. Flacco (who Wentz is being compared to) went to Delaware State, remember? Goff had near zero supporting cast at Cal. Sure they're a risk-
In the last 30 years there have probably have only been 3-5 QBs who weren't considered a risk, Andrew Luck being the last. FWIW, I was totally against Holmgren's sell the ranch to get RG III- I was right. If we take Goff or Wentz and they flop, we're only out 1 first round pick, not three. I'll go on record I like what I see out of the Goff Wentz duo. BTW, Hue went to both pro days, and liked what he saw.

Not to be dickish. But any coach at any workout or tape viewing said anything negative about a player?.. I guess it means we really don't know.. I like both QB's.. signing this bag of shit QB does not thrill Me so.

What do you hate and why do you hate it?I hate this shit! How about first we let a QB show us he is worth building an O around?
Oh,this must be the part where we ignore Griffin's actual stats and replace them with empty rhstoric and pretend like he hasn't shown his talent. Am I right?

It's where we get the "he's bad at going through his progressions" argument jammed down our throat, despite the fact that it's nearly impossible to tell from film for a number of reasons.
No offense to Tour, it's just the same argument over and over again.

Well that too- and you're right. No coach\GM\scout is going to come out publicly after a workout and say "man, this kid sucks." It's smokescreen season, and the Browns are laying down a pretty heavy cloud.
Now regarding RG III- you may be right, I share your apprehension. But that's based on reports Griffin has been figured out, ala Derek Anderson who had only one pitch speed- a blazing fastball, with zero touch. Take away the deep stuff, and he was toast- tossing rockets his running backs couldn't handle on swing passes.
If it is true Griffin can't read a defense to save his life, we just wasted around $6 million to find out he hasn't learned anything in 4 years as a pro. The guy isn't stupid, so just maybe he can be coached up to a rudimentary level. MHO is he probably can't do much worse than McCown, and assuming we take a QB @ #2, he can be the pinata while the line stabilizes, and the rookie sits and watches.

It could have been worse. I could have been Haslem visiting a homeless shelter again.

I'm amazed he would come here if he's just basically the punching bag till Rocky gets his shit together. But , I guess at this point.. He's not in position to ask for much.. It's sad to wind up that way.. weather or not you like the guy or not. But I guess this is where Hue and House and Pep will earn thier pay check's so to speak.

Sounds like you and the Browns have a lot in common. And I am not sure you are right about that 2 year rule.

scroll down to where it says.. what makes a player eligible.
"In addition, a player is allowed on the practice squad for two years. If a player is on the practice squad for six weeks, up fron three weeks per the previous agreement, in a season, it is considered a year of PS sevice. Players are only allowed to be on a practice squad for a third year if their team keeps 53 players on the active-inactive list at all times."
many NFL players have been on Practice Squads for 3 years. but typically 2 or less.
