The Browns passed on a chance to take Wentz and traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia, but Jackson said the team isn’t second-guessing that decision.

“We have to make judgments on the individual players and we’re not always going to be right”, DePodesta said.
At least this time RG3’s end with a team wasn’t entirely his fault.
In his eight starts in 2015, McCown had a 93.3 rating as he completed 63.7 percent of his passes, threw for 12 touchdowns and only tossed four interceptions. But the real reason it’s all over is an injury, this time a legit one for Griffin.
An MRI on Monday revealed the RGIII has a fractured bone in his left shoulder, giving the Browns no choice but to place him on injured reserve.
Meanwhile, Cleveland will have to rely on journeyman Josh McCown to run the offense for the next couple of months. “And we play Philly next Monday night, so I got to stick with my team, but I am gonna go to Philly and scout out what all the fuss is about”. “And that’s not our expectation”. I don’t think it’s going to be anything really overwhelming, but we’re expecting it to be a loud environment.
“We expect it to be a loud and really exciting atmosphere”, Wentz said. Griffin arrived as Mills was stepping back on the field and the two collided.
“He said he was going to go to me all week on it”, Matthews said of Wentz. I was just trying to get out of bounds, and thats just the way it unfolded.. Wentz will be starting on the road for the first time in his career, and if the Bears want to set a different tone for their season, they may want to try taking advantage of his inexperience. It definitely could, but if he wants to hang around the National Football League for a decade or so as a back up, he should have that opportunity.
The Browns are actually in great shape. They’re studying together, and I think that’s important because I’ve been in Chase’s role before as a backup quarterback, and I know what it means to be able to dive into the tape and then have answers for the guy that’s playing. I’m excited for Kessler.
“For me, I stay pretty focused on football and then at the end of the day you just go home and relax”.
Still, there’s little doubt the Browns are now in a pitched battle with the San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans and San Diego Chargers for that No. 1 pick. He actually did a respectable job last season as it pertains to the stat line, but he dealt with injuries and had to miss a lot of time while the Browns tried to figure out how bad Johnny Manziel was on and off the field. The Washington Redskins are already at that stage because Robert Griffin III did not become the franchise-changing quarterback they thought he would be.

Many Browns fans may find it hard to get excited about the 37 year-old McCown returning to the position, but the quarterback played well for the Browns last season.
