In 2013 they finished 30th in points allowed. They did average 21.5 points scored in RG's 13 starts that year, which is solid. They allowed an average of 31.3 though, which is about as bad as it gets.

Either way, is 20 games with an overall 83.7 rating enough evidence to say he's worthless? It's not exactly a big sample size and much of it came with him recovering from injury with a bulky knee brace. Even if RG plays at his 2013-14 level, he'd still be an improvement for many teams. If he can somehow play at his 2012 level (not as far fetched as some make it seem), then the Browns just got a steal.

You may be right that RG is just a place holder or stop-gap, but I think if Hue and the Browns didn't see potential, they would've just stuck with Josh McCown. Word is that Hue was floored by RG's workout.

I'm not sure if the "floored" comment was just Hue being Hue and trying to be sneaky, but it seems unlikely that RG3 is going to be a long term starter for them. It seems like he's one of the guys who buys into the "The #1 QB in the draft is from North Dakota State" mentality and is hoping to find a franchise QB somewhere else.
