In Cleveland, quarterbacks are always a talking topic.

In spectacular Cleveland Browns fashion, Robert Griffin III finished his first game as the team’s quarterback with a shoulder injury, which turns out to be more series than previously thought. “It looks now that Philadelphia is going to be very well-rewarded for the risk they took on draft day giving up a lot of stuff to get this guy because he looks like he’s going to be a long-term hell of a quarterback”.
Griffin was nearing the sideline when he was struck by Eagles rookie defensive back Jalen Mills, who delivered a blow to the QB’s chest area. Wentz reportedly was goose hunting when he learned the news via a phone call from first-year head coach Doug Pederson. “It’s unfortunate but it does happen in this sport”.
The Browns now have two first-round draft picks next year, when they could finally the QB to end almost two decades of futility and frustration.
Dallas first-year quarterback Dak Prescott was similarly thrust into the spotlight when starter Tony Romo suffered a pre-season back injury.
Coming into the 2016 season the Browns had goals.
Who’s to say if Jackson is telling the truth?
“Just to keep his mind in it and stay around it, I know he will be right there every step of the way with us, prepare and just know this is another part of his story”.
If Griffin gets ruled out of the season, then the Browns could bring in a veteran quarterback to serve as his replacement.
BEREA, Ohio Robert Griffin IIIs left arm is cradled in a black sling, restrained.
“He wanted to be out there with his teammates”, Jackson said. “I’m not naive to think it’s going to be smooth sailing for this team”.
The Cleveland Browns weren’t able to apply consistent pressure on Carson Wentz last Sunday.
Past year was the flawless example of what McCown brings to the Browns.
“He played well”, Jackson conceded.
McCown, on the other hand, is essentially the opposite of Griffin at this point. He had a good game, a great game if you guys want to term it that, and I respect that.
The almost constant turnover at quarterback has hindered the Browns from winning or developing any stability.
Griffin will rely on his faith to help him deal with yet another significant injury.
“Heartbroken”, McCown said of the news. “‘It hasn’t gone well”. Rex Ryan is one of the few defensive-minded coaches in the National Football League right now and such is seen as the reason why Smith has been grounded, Fansided reported.

The Eagles traded five draft picks to the Browns – including their No. 1 pick in 2016 and 2017 and second-round pick in 2018 – to move up from No. 8 to No. 2 in the draft to select Wentz. “Our mindset is to compete and play to win football games”. “Like I said, we’ll look back and see where he is over a period of time, but the Browns have to get better”.
