    I just don’t see the production he had in his rookie year happening for him here, unless Hue can get into his head (not to mention call the proper plays) to make it happen. The only way this makes sense is if they sign him on the cheap for 1-2 years and see exactly what they have with him. Maybe that season-long time-out taught him some things- who knows? Either we sign him and it works, or he becomes the 25th QB to fail in Cleveland.

    I have absolutely no idea how the draft would pan out if we did take the flier on him…but I could almost guarantee that, if we do, McCown is gonna be shopped for a draft pick (or two, if they’re really good lol).

    If this was 2008, I’d be on the edge of my seat just dying to know. As of now, I’m lacing my fingers behind my head, sitting back and watching this play out. But it seems as if they finally have a plan in place, and they don’t seem to be making knee-jerk reactions.

    So…am I on board? Sure…if it works. Let the offseason games begin!

    In monetary terms RG3 costs us very little according to reports Hue told RG that his signing would not preclude the Browns taking a QB at #2. So I still feel it’s a QB at 2.

    I feel that you’ve got to take a QB at #2 if one is there you like there is no I repeat no guarantee that you’ll have this chance next year, so if they like Wentz or Goeff and he’s there turn in the card and be done with it.

    A few of the reasons I was against the RGIII signing in the first place . . .
    1) He’s already been often injured.
    2) He’s not a pocket passer – which is what you need to be in this league.
    3) He often holds onto the football far too long – resulting in fumbles lost.
    4) He’s not an accurate passer – you need to be accurate with your throws in the NFL.
    5) He’s not particularly good in the locker room – you need your QB to be a leader of men, not a drama queen.

    Personally, I see RGIII as just another warm body. If the QB whisperer can get something good out of him, then fine; but I’m not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

    Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!

    I see RG3 as a nice backup option. He was signed to be a backup and if our new rookie QB that we’re gonna draft pulls a Manziel he can start in a pinch. His contract maxes out at about $7mil/ year which is money for a guy that is not a starter but competing for a starting job.
