RG3 Checks Out The Browns
I had a beer bet with a friend about where RG3 would land. We both picked the two Texas teams. The reasoning was simple. RG3 is from Texas. The Cowboys need a backup. The Texans needed anything. Neither of us really saw him ending up anywhere else. If anyone still had faith in the guy, it would be the fans around Baylor. It would be Texas. Tyler, if you are reading this, it doesn’t look like we’ll owe each other any beers.
At first glance RG3 to the Browns is pretty much the epitome of “lol of course” but it’s probably not the worst thing. He’s not officially a Brown yet, at least as I write this, but it seems likely. It’s not a bad idea for RG3 if he still really wants a chance to start. Hue Jackson is a pretty good O-coordinator and might be a solid fit for the Griff as well. Cleveland’s got a severe lack of offensive…anything right now but the first year in a new regime is usually bad. The problem is that this isn’t any team. It’s the Browns. Time and time again they’ve proven they don’t deserve the benefit of any doubt. For most teams, even bad ones, you can look at a coach and a new regime and say “give it time, maybe something good will happen”. You just can’t do that with the Browns anymore. So maybe the first glance really is the correct one. Maybe we should just laugh as a broken QB goes to the broken team.
I think he’s done. I have no faith in RG3 anymore. I think his success came from a simple system that played to his strengths, and it wasn’t sustainable. He never had to read a defense in depth. Then he got hurt and it all went to hell. Now he might be with a coach who could very well use him properly, but he’s still made of glass until he proves otherwise. Maybe I’m wrong and he can be coached up and re-live his rookie glory. If he does so I’ll admit my haste to call him toast. Until then, I think he remains toast, but I do wish him well, for the Browns as much as for him.
RG3 will sign with the Browns, then be really good again for the first three or four games. Then he’ll get a reminder that he’s in the AFC North now courtesy of the Bengals, Ravens, or Steelers – whoever’s first on their schedule after those first few games – and go on IR by week 6 with a fractured everything, and we’ll remember that it’s not as much that RG3 was bad that made us lose faith – though he was pretty terrible for most of his snaps after that knee injury – as much as it was that RG3 is more fragile than Bradford, Pennington, and Vick combined.
I feel bad for the guy, but he doesn’t have a future in any contact sport. I’d like to see him try for track though. He ran a 4.41 40 in spite of being north of 220 lbs, if he got himself down to say 190, and ignored strength training entirely in favor of speed and stamina, then I think he’d be a damn fine sprinter.
This second paragraph is just depressing.
It’s funny because RG3 sustained his injury (the one that basically ended his career) against the Ravens.
What does the average signing bonus for sprinters amount to?
More than the zero NFL contracts he’s going to get after he flames out this season and cements himself as a bust.
Of course the Browns use AOL.
RG Knee to the Browns makes me happy, almost as happy as the Browns using AOL.
It makes me happy, because it likely removes them from Kaepernick discussions, and Denver has a better shot at getting him cheaper.
I fucking hate AOL but good to know it isn’t totally forgotten
AOL… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Is AOL still a thing? I’m afraid to search”AOL” for fear of being being drowned in sign-up CDs.
Time to add Griffith to that qb jersey
OH YEAH RG3 BRING THE SUPER BOWL TROPHY BACK HOME TO THE DAWG POUND
I HATE MY LIFE
“Back home”? It’s never been in Cleveland… just saying…
That’s what you think
I like to dream
Remember Cleveland hasn’t even gotten a shot at the trophy
RG3 WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISE LAND
depression consumes me
I always give the benefit of the doubt to players that come from certain teams, the Redskins among them. That said, the Browns are literally the worst place to go if you are like RG3. I don’t care how good a coach Hue Jackson is or how good a fit that might be, the Browns will find a way to Brown the situation away because they are the Browns.
Lolololololol GO STEELERS
Thought you were talking about Rex Daniel Grossman the 3rd
And in March Madness news, a Philly team lost to the Oregon Ducks. Remember, the school Potato Chip Kelly coached at?
I just wish the Washington redskins didn’t have a fucked up field so RGIII wouldn’t get hurt and hopefully still had the magic he used during his rookie season.
I literally laughed out loud at the last panel
During one of RG3’s surgeries, he secretly had adamantine legs put in.
thats why he is so fragile, they were supposed to use adamantium, instead they mistakenly used adamantine, which is the polar opposite of adamantium and is as fragile as sugar glass.
One of the most fragile quarter backs in football may join a division with three of the hardest hitting and nasty defenses of the last decade, gl RGIII
Would I be dumb if I think Denver would be a good landing spot for RG3?
I think it would be dumb for any team to pick up Manzel or RG3. They both have their own problems, that I don’t think can be fixed.
RG3 is from Japan
By birth, sure. But his family settled in Texas when he was 7. He went to high school in Texas. he went to college in Texas. I think a person is from the place they have the most ties to, not technically where they were born.
I love the third panel. It looks like RG3 is questioning all of his life choices.
I tried to learn how to play qb but without my elite speed it’s not possible. Sorry RG3 it’s over I would have come to the Dawg Pound too but the media would never allow it.
