Rumors in DC is saying there is interest in Griffin. I hope not. I am a Browns supporter, you guys deserve better. But he is not the answer. Besides I don't want to have to root for the son of a *****.

It would be a tough one but I almost think it might be worth the gamble. The Browns are kind of shambles right now. Offensively, they lost two Pro-Bowl quality linemen to free agency, they don't have a consistent running game (hopefully Duke Johnson can change that in his 2nd year), they lost their #2 receiver (Travis Benjamin) to free agency and their #1 receiver (Gordon) may or may not be available this year and, even if he is, he is 1 strike away from purgatory. That isn't a great situation to toss a rookie QB into.
Defensively, they need help there as well, as they are terrible against the run and they don't particularly rush the passer well either. So, they need a couple of impact players in the front seven to shore up the run defense and to rush the passer.
I almost think rolling the dice on RG3 might actually be worth it when you look at it from that perspective, as the team just has so many holes and a rookie QB at #2 overall won't come close to filling them. RG3 also won't cost anything, as you don't have to trade any draft picks to get him (unlike Kaepernick).
I can't believe I am saying it but it truly might be the best thing - sign RG3 to a team-friendly deal and see if Hue Jackson can do anything with him. I would then trade out of the #2 spot and stockpile as many picks as is humanly possible to deal with all of the holes that I mentioned above. They really need to draft 2 wide receivers (even if Gordon comes back), 2 impact players in the front 7 on defense and quite possibly a lineman (they lost Mack and Schwartz). It is tough to project how the offensive line will look, though a good bit depends on how quickly Cam Erving develops.
I don't really even like RG3 but he at least has some potential and I just don't know that throwing a rooke QB into that mess is the right call.
Linked to many of the top quarterbacks in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns decided to add depth at the position before the league’s annual selection meeting by signing free-agent signal-caller Robert Griffin III.
Wow... I don't know what to say. They still may draft a QB in the first round... I guess...
Honestly.. Cleveland should be giving more looks to Connor Shaw. That is a guy that could develop into a really good QB.
I'd put him in the same category as Cousins.. The potential is there.. Put him in, stick with him, and I think he'll reward you with play that just keeps getting better and better. There'll be bumps in the road that you have to get past, but stick with him and I think it'd pay off.
