BatteredFanSyndrome Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I've always loved the stories where someone gets the opportunity to prove they can do what everyone else said they couldn't. Best wishes to him, he's going to need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well it's official and he'll be back at Fed Ex next year with something to prove. Is it a definite that he'll be starting though? I mean, the Browns could end up drafting one of the rookie QBs to compete for the starting job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington 38m38 minutes ago If and when RG3 signs with the Browns today, I assure you of this: Both sides believe he will be the Week 1 starter regardless of the draft.

But still, I am afraid the undead, tormented souls of Cleveland will rise up and drag him down to the underworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's insane (debatable given this) he wouldn't have signed unless he had a guaranteed job as starter. Otherwise he could've signed anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Them and the Cowboys are the only two teams that would already make me question his eventual output based on the early decision making, essentially because both are the most pressure filled options, but for different reasons. Cowboys was team rival/Dallas spotlight, Browns are perpetual ineptitude/his insistence to start so his proving it starts day 1. I'm sure being a heisman winner also makes long term planning involving being a backup for years not appealing since there is always the dichotomy of being the "best player in college" vs. riding the bench in the NFL. The deck is stacked against him here, but I guess if this fails then he can continue his life with multiple opportunities regardless since he will have plenty after the NFL. Maybe he preferred the do-or-die option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Can't think of a worse team for him to go to. The Browns are so devoid of talent, he's gonna get creamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KokoMike Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Something we never heard about last year: If RG3 was the scout team QB (and I think he was), he would have played against the Redskins first team defense in practice for the entire year. I think that means he knows more about our defense than any QB in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Cleveland at Washington. Monday Night. Book it. Might very well be the early MNF game week 1. Probably not enough juice for a Sunday nighter. Maybe an early season Thursday night game though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Damn...I didn't realize the Browns lost so much talent this offseason. Yeah thats a wrap for him but then again, there wasn't a lot of interest so his hands were tied. He'll probably make way for the rookie by week 8... But if he starts against us, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that he will beat us. That would be the most #soredskins moment ever so it has to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The Browns game just turned into the highest pressure game for Gruden and Cousins. Not the biggest or most important, but the most pressure filled game. But if he starts against us, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that he will beat us. That would be the most #soredskins moment ever so it has to happen I agree. It's like just meant to be the redemption story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Knowing our luck, he'll run all over our defense and throw for 6 TDs, and run for another 3... He never did that in 2012...you are sweating this way to much. He will play us, he will get beat. It's as simple as that. It's ****ing Cleveland.

timdaley73 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 RG3 to Flash Gordon! Touchdown!! I think a lot of people are forgetting that Josh Gordon should be back/reinstated soon... Will be a dangerous combination!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 He never did that in 2012...you are sweating this way to much. He will pkay us, he will get beat. It's as simple as that. It's ****ing Cleveland. He came pretty darn close though. 8 TDs in 4 whole days-4 against Philly and 4 against Dallas. Do I think he WILL do that though? No. Of course not. I'm not stupid, I know he was horrible his last 3 years with us. I was more joking than being serious (basically saying it would be the most redskins thing to have happen to us-losing badly against an ex redskins QB).

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If I'm Joe Barry, I'm starting the game-planning for the R/O right now. If they don't use it, fine. But it's the only way he could really give us problems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 But if he can turn that franchise around. They'll build him a statue. The entire NFL will build him a statue if he can do that lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokoMike Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Contract update is noted at bottom. Just for fun, I hope there is something like a $2 million incentive to beat the Skins. Of course, I will still root for the skins, maybe wearing my RG3 jersey (Redskins). It would be fun. RG3 playing for $2 million. Cousins getting on average $52,000 per completion, with $660,000 per TD, with his one year deal. All we would need to complete the trifecta is Johnny Manziel in the booth with Cooley. Quote from the Browns: “We are excited to add Robert to our team,” said Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown. “Robert possesses a unique skill set at the quarterback position. He has played at a high level in this league and is intent on doing everything in his power to return to that level on a consistent basis. After meeting with him, having him work out for us and doing our diligent research, we felt it was right to grant him an opportunity with our organization. We were able to see and feel his passion and commitment to re-establishing himself as a starting quarterback in this league and his embrace of the hard work that will be is essential to his development. We've been clear on the importance of improving and stabilizing the quarterback position for our franchise. We have said that the draft is and will be our primary focus, but we will always look to complement the draft through free agency, and this is one of those examples. We look forward to working with Robert and getting him in the building with his teammates at the start of the offseason program on April 4.” Update on his contract, from cleveland.com: They signed Griffin to a two-year deal worth $15 million, including a $3.5 million signing bonus and $6.75 million in guarantees. The maximum value, including incentives, is $22 million. The $7.5 million average is "bridge'' quarterback money and won't preclude the Browns from drafting a quarterback high.

TheGoodBits Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I saw a tweet that indicated the Browns were still likely to take a QB at #2 overall. If that happens, RG3 goes from the worst situation in the league to the worst imaginable situation for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
