Take the poster out of the equation and to me this seems like the Browns are again hoping to hit a homerun with a cast-off from a not so good franchise rather than actually draft a QB in the 1st that isn't littered with red flags (no one with a brain thought Weeden and Manziel were going to work out), or throwing a totally raw QB into an unwinniable situation and then giving up too soon.
It almost seemed like the Browns had a shot using a teaching vet in McCown to develop Wentz or Goff, but meh...
I feel ya on McCown teaching Wentz. The thing is, they've tried to turn around that franchise SO many times by trying to find that miracle QB. So what if they reverse that approach? Build the team first, then find a long term QB? If I'm a Browns fan, I'm hoping they trade that #2 pick (we may as well say the rights to Carson Wentz) for a slew of draft picks.
The Browns already had a ton of holes before they let Benjamin, Dansby and half their o-line walk. So I'd like the idea of getting a small truckload of additional picks to build the team. 2016 can be a building year, and in the meantime they can find out if RGIII can be a long term solution. If he is, great for them. If not, they'll probably be picking high again next year, and they can then select a QB. This time with (theoretically) a better young cast to put around him.
As for RGIII's red flags, I think the Redskins are as much to blame for all of that, if not more so. They handled him poorly, imo.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
