Hue Announces RG3 is the Starter
-
Rg3 was the number 2 overall pick not too long ago. We owe it to ourselves to give him some game time and see if the geographical cure works for him. We've seen mccown bounce around enough to know that toxic situations aren't his problem. His problem is that he's a journeyman with journeyman level talent. Griffin has only played for one team and it's entirely possible that the situation just went bad.
We'll find out soon enough if a change of scenery makes Griffin the rookie sensation he was. If not, we draft one next year. We had our opportunity to draft a "franchise quarterback" in Wentz- and passed on the opportunity. It will remain to be seen if the extra draft picks we got were worth it.
If he hasn't learned to read defenses, and go through his progressions- that's a pretty accurate assessment.

RG III earned it, and that's what matters to me. Players saw it, coaches saw it, and even many sports writers saw it. RG III improved to the point to where he was the obvious choice, and the most telling stat to me was when I heard that RG III hasn't turned it over at all during scrimmages or 11 on 11's. That is absurd. Has been perfect? Hell no, of course not. But has he been taking care of the ball and working his ass off? Yes.

He slid and threw the ball away during the scrimmage. I thought that was different for RG3. He wasn't trying to be a hero and get pummeled.

RG3 will pass for 400 yards and rush for 100 on their way to an 80-0 preseason victory.

That's a great point, too. Listen, I'm not saying RG III is going to throw for 4000 yards with 34 TD's and 10 picks, I'm not saying that at all. But I definitely think he has a chance to stabilize our QB position, and let's not understate the vast importance of that! We all know that much has to happen before we anoint him as the damn QB savior of the Browns, but it sounds like he's doing it all right so far.
I don't want people to place a whole lot of importance in this first or even second preseason game. The third preseason game will tell us a lot, and we'll have a good idea of what he can do. NFL coaches don't traditionally showcase a whole lot, and it will be pretty vanilla. I expect us to show even LESS than other teams because our offense will probably be some kind of a mix of traditional pocket passing and read-option. Yes, I expect several aspects of the read-option to play a significant role in what we do this year. Hue likes to get the ball out quickly, and if he can simplify the reads for RG III, we might make some noise.
