Well at least we're not Cleveland

[Bill Cody]

The hardest thing to do in football by far is to find a franchise QB. We're not exactly covered in glory on this subject but damn the Browns make the Bills front office look like a Mensa meeting. First they sign RG3 who is absolutely terrible and pretend he's not. Then they trade out of the 2nd spot where they could have had Wentz because, well, they have RG3. Now the word is they're "very concerned about RG3". Apparently he's regressed even further, holds on to the ball and get this, in year 5 in the league "can't read a defense". Beautiful.

Just trying to cheer folks up that need cheering, things can always be worse, we could be the Browns.

Bills 16 seasons without making the playoffs, the Browns 13.

RGIII isn't terrible. I think he's going to do well this year, actually.

Re: Well at least we're not Cleveland

Mike Shanahan and the Redskins ruined his career.

He shouldn't have played in that playoff game that Shanny tossed him out to the wolves for no reason. And now he hasn't played in basically a year.

Of course, he's still gonna be learning, he's played like 2 years. Of course, he's rusty, he hasn't played in over a year.

Does that mean he's gonna be better, or even the same, as he was in his rookie year? No. But it's a possibility as the year goes on that he will.

Outside of his short comings during the preseason, he still averaged over 8ypa and only turned it over once.

He didn't send him out there for "no reason," it was the 4th quarter of a one score playoff game!

I thought so too, but supposedly Hue Jackson is the one worried he can't read defenses.

Re: Well at least we're not Cleveland

They have a ton of draft picks in the next couple seasons and their own pick should be high. They have some of building something.

I saw a short clip of him a few years back. He's clueless.

Griffin ? Yeah. He locks onto his primary, then immediately drops to nearest check down unless he freezes or thinks to buy time, which never works well because he has poor pocket awareness, then he thinks to run but it's usually too late. I read somewhere, forget now, he habitually drops back an extra step then never moves up into the pocket for some reason.

I thought Hue Jackson would be his redemption though.

Hopefully for them. They had 12 picks in 2015 and 14 picks this past draft.

Jackson's not all that. He continued a long-standing CIN OC tradition - down by 7 at the half, abandon the run game and pass pass pass.
