Browns place RG3 on IR with shoulder injury

“We’re going to win a championship here for the Cleveland Browns.”.

Griffin, who sustained a serious knee injury at the end of his rookie season with the Redskins, does not need surgery at this time and will be evaluated in 3 to 4 weeks.

Let that sink in for a minute… If he eventually does reach that level, then that would be one more thing for Browns fans to be disappointed by.

“It’s good tape to watch for me, to be able to say, ‘I did well on this play”.

In that time the Browns have gone through 25 different starting quarterbacks.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers’s victory last night, Cleveland is now trailing everybody else in the AFC North as the lone team in the division to fail to win their opening contest, which they dropped facing the quarterback drafted from the second-overall position that they traded away to the Eagles.

Carson Wentz turned many heads in his National Football League debut last Sunday.

“Hang in there, buddy”.

Robert Griffin III’s comeback cracked. “I know how much he wants to be out there with his guys fighting for his team”.

Nelson Agholor has found a reason to play. They feel that the RGIII era is over before it actually even began.

“That was one game, and he played well”, Jackson said. The injury is business-as-usual for a franchise that’s spent fifteen years trying to find a viable quarterback.

McCown was with Pryor and Gordon, who is serving another four-game drug suspension, when Browns owner Jimmy Haslam called to discuss Griffin’s injury and offer him support.

Griffin was never supposed to be the long-term answer.

McCown, on the other hand, is essentially the opposite of Griffin at this point. The Browns gave up 34 passing touchdowns last season.

Osweiler tossed two touchdowns in his team’s 23-14 triumph over the Chicago Bears and expressed the same confidence in the Texans that they showed in him.

Usher in 37-year-old Josh McCown, who is the Browns new starter.

McCown started eight games for the Browns last season. “I have always been part of the saying, ‘Next man up.’ It’s real in this league”, Jackson said of Griffin, who was placed on injured reserve after a shoulder injury against the Eagles.

Could LeBron rescue the Browns just like he did the Cavs?

Wentz will see certain formations created to rattle him, and it’s job of the Eagles staff to do the best they can to prepare him for anything that will be thrown the rookie’s way. Josh McCown knows the Browns’ offense well, and should have wide receiver Josh Gordon back from suspension starting week five.

Wentz was supposed to start the season on the bench and learn in his first year, however the Eagles decided that the rookie was ready when they traded their former quarterback Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings for a first round pick and a fourth round pick.

“So, after one game, the Browns are on plan B. There’s 15 more games to go”.

Are you listening Hue Jackson? “So we’ll wait to see how all that pans out”. The Griffin signing seemed like a savvy move, but only if he could stay on the field all year.
