On a side note, Mr. McCown, please pack your belongings and head to the lobby. We'll need him for the 1st Qtr. of game 1. At least the first drive..

In my opinion the plan is for McCown to be the starter and if RG3 progresses enough to Hue's liking then eventually he'll take over but until RG3 shows he's ready for the job he'll be the #2 QB and whatever rookie QB we draft won't see the field at all this season. McCown is not going to be on the team. Why not? as far as I know we haven't cut or traded him.

Jets, Broncos, Rams still with QB questions. What does #Browns signing of RGIII mean? Josh McCown joins Brian Hoyer as backups available via trade. #Broncos stand alone in Kaep trade

on top of that, there's no way in hell you sign RG3, and still have McCown as the starter.

And if you take a QB, either at #2 or in another round (based on these QBs), they'll need some time, IMO. RG3/McCown/Drafted QB is the best scenario, IMO.

Why not keep McCown? RG3 to start, McCown as #2 to work with and help develop our young QB we may draft. Maybe now we use our #2 for Buckner, Bosa, Ramsey or Tunsil and take Hogan later in the draft with the aims to develop him?

Here is my take ... I'm Happy we took RGIII over Kaepernick, we did not lose a draft pick (3rd Rd. most likely) he will be our starter day 1, also I see us trading McCown and adding another pick (Possibly a 5th-7th Rd. Pick) ... I look for us o trade down between the 4th-and 6th picks to stay ahead of SF and pick up a couple more picks hopefully at least 2nd and 4th Rd. picks, we can still take one of the 2 QB's (Hopefully Goff), if they are gone I would love to see us draft Ezekial Elliott and then take another QB in the 2nd Rd. ... JMHO

Keep McCown
Sign RG3
Draft Wentz in the 1st
Draft Cook in the 2nd
Draft Cardale in the 3rd
Keep Pryor as an emergency QB
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Hue Jackson seems like he is a pretty good veteran mentor. Not to mention, Hue Jackson was quoted as saying he didn't believe a player acting as a mentor to a QB was a priority. Acquiring mentors, though, isn’t the primary goal.
“I don’t know necessarily we’re looking for a guy to teach a guy,” Jackson said. “You’d like to have it staggered that way if you could. I think right now it’s about improving the position on our football team, just trying to be as good as we could be.” Link McCown is gone whether he be released or traded for a low round draft pick.

I'm happy with this 2-year deal. IF he can stay healthy and not be a problem for his coaches, he has the talent base to be very good. Now, I hope that means they grab Bosa at #2. I don't like any of this year's QBs nearly enough to be taken at #2 in the draft, especially after bringing in Griffin. That would be a wasted pick, in my opinion.

I'm impressed Pastor, you came up with all of that pretty darn quick LOL
Here's the thing, nothing makes sense and everything makes sense. depends on who you speak to. This is going to be fun to watch how it unfolds over the next month or so.
I do have one question, why did the Jets not snap RG up? There is no guarantee that they'll be able to get Fitz back.

RG3 got a show me deal and if he flops he flops and if he shows he's the guy then he'll get a new deal but he will be eased into the position.

This is the winner. Until RG3 can read the field, he is pretty worthless. It should be: 1) Josh 2) RG3 3) Rookie In my opinion, the rookie might be ready to play before RG3 will. RG3 has some bad habits to break. Now, if someone does make us an offer on Josh for a draft pick, that might change, but I know Josh can throw from the pocket and right now RG3 can't.

yes, and you can't possibly show anybody anything on a "show me" deal if you're riding the bench.
if that was the case, then there was no point in signing him in the first place.
RG3, baring injury, is starting for us this season. regardless of if we draft a qb or not.
i really like what mcccown has done for us, but let's be real, he isnt the answer.
RG3 very well could be the answer though.

One thing is for sure about this whole thing: the Browns will have one Sunday or Monday night game this season ... Cleveland at Washington

But will RG3 be able to:
A. Be effective again
B. Accept not being our future My guess is that he has been told to win the starting job and then keep giving us reasons to stick with him. It's actually in our best interest to have Wentz/Goff/3rd-round-QB-de-jour sit and learn for as long as they possibly can. It's in RG3's best interest to show that he can be the man at QB and essentially win a starting job back. It's a two year deal, so he's auditioning for a big contract somewhere. If it's with us, then we could trade whatever QB we drafted. If he plays good enough with us to last two years, then we've got a well trained first rounder waiting in the wings, ala Aaron Rodgers. I also don't see the need to trade McCown. At his age and standing, he should be okay in a backup role. With RG3 propensity to run and get injured, I'd much rather go with McCown off the bench than to immediately throw the new QB into the fire before he's ready. I know it's a foreign concept, but sometimes you have to give QB a chance to learn the league before throwing them to the wolves and letting them develop all kinds of happy-feet bad habits.

Who said he was riding the bench? I said McCown would be the starter until Hue feels comfortable enough with RG3 for him to take over. It doesn't make sense to just hand the job over to RG3 given what happened in Washington plus what if RG3 gets hurt in one of the first games of the season, I don't think Hue wants to rush a rookie. Hue has said all along that they want to take time and do it right so why rush.

Lets look at it this way, if we are going to build through the draft, and it appears that's what we are doing, then you get what you can for McCown try and trade down but not beyond SF and pick up a couple more picks and begin that building NOW!!!
