Based on what? McCown played fairly well, was cheaper, would have taken a 1 year deal (I assume), is a great mentor to younger QBs, and is a great personality in the locker room. IR3 hasn't played good football in years, got a pretty big 2-year contract, spent most of 2015 playing safety on the scout team, doesn't display leadership/maturity/mentoring ability, and he left a self-gratifying goodbye letter in his locker when Washington released him.
I don't see how he is better than McCown UNLESS the idea is to get production out of RGIII and trade McCown and the #2 pick for more picks and either get a lower-end rookie QB or to just roll with RGIII and hope the Browns can resurrect his career (that's a laugh).
