ANOTHER “WHAT IF” SCENARIO . . .

According to reports from multiple sources, the Cleveland Browns are going to sign free agent quarterback Robert Griffin III (possibly as early as by the end of this week); leaving speculation concerning whether or not they’ll use the second overall pick to select a quarterback.  Other sources are reporting that the Tennessee Titans have shifted their attentions towards Florida State  defensive back Jalen Ramsey; leaving NFL.com’s top rated player, Mississippi offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, available for the taking when the Browns are on the clock.

Considering the mass exodus of Browns free agents – particularly along the offensive line – should the Browns select Tunsil at number two (if he’s still on the board) and forego drafting a quarterback until one of the subsequent rounds, or should they go ahead and take a quarterback (either Carson Wentz or Jared Goff) to groom for the future with that pick? And what of the ultimate “team guy” Josh McCown . . . will he be jettisoned out of Cleveland before the ink dries on RG III’s contract? Considering the revolving door at the position due to injuries and poor performance – combined with the holes along the offensive line that need to be filled – maybe the Browns would be wise to hold onto McCown for the entire 2016 season.

I understand the rebuilding with younger and (quite frankly) cheaper talent, but I’m pretty sure that there’s not an analytical formula out there that’ll tell you how to keep a bad apple in the locker room from toppling the whole cart in Berea. This organization has recently gotten rid of one drama queen in Johnny Manziel. Why is it going after another one – albeit for different reasons – in RG III? I just don’t see him as a guy that’s willing to be the “bridge” to get us to the QB of the future that the Browns draft and develop because Griffin has already shown that he’s a “ME guy”. The sense from Jackson and company seems to be that Griffin is hungry in willing to buy into the Browns plan. That’s all well and good, but I wonder how soon it’ll go South with Griffin when he either A) gets beaten out as the opening day starter by McCown or B) gets replaced by McCown or some other QB on the roster as the starter due to his poor performance? Humility and hunger will then quickly turn into frustration and pouting – which is exactly the kind of behavior that we’ve come to expect from RG III-LOOK-AT ME.
