I would take cam without hesitation. RG3 wasn't even being looked at as a top 5 pick until the bowl games. I still have my doubts about him staying healthy. Give me Cam.

No thanks on Cam Newton. Teams in the AFC North actually have legable defense's, he would get ate up.

No thanks on Tannehill either. He is a project.

Seriously, I can't believe you guys. You're seriously under valuing what Cam Newton did his rookie year. It was probably the best rookie year for a QB ever outside of maybe Dan Marino.

I probably am (but there are people who overvalue it as well). I'm not going to get in a debate about it like I have before though. He still turned the ball over a lot in a conference that doesnt have great defenses, and he had legitimate talent around him. Has there ever been a #1 QB that has that talent around him immediately?

Rapistfucker comes to mind. Eli Manning, Matt Shaub (once traded to Texans), Matt Ryan.

So you think an unknown such as RG3 wouldn't get "ate up" in the AFC North, but it's a forgone conclusion that the guy who posted one of the best rookie years ever would be "ate up" in the AFC North?

Come on man, "ate up" wtf are they teaching you at Akron (or was it Kent??)?

Most rookie QBs turn the ball over. It's all part of the learning process.

I go to Akron. And for the record, I never wanted RG3 either. Always was Luck or bust.

I was also on the I don't want RG3 bandwagon.

But since that is the case for you, why would you take RG3 over Newton?

What would you do if Cincy offered you both of their firsts for our 4th pick because they wanted to move up to get Richardson? That would give us 17, 21 and 22

I would say give me more than that. If you trade within your division, you make sure you rape that team. Their two lower first round picks wouldn't be enough for me.

I wouldn't. I think RG3 has a lot of potential, but he is also a huge risk. A huge risk isnt what the Browns need to be taking. Cam has a good year, so people start saying that RG3 is going to be good because Cam had a solid rookie season.

As for Cam, I dont really see him doing much better stat wise, because I mean how much better can the weapons get around him? Now the Panthers may make the playoffs or have a pretty good record because the defense has plenty of room for improvement.

JMO, I really dont want to keep discussing it because its obvious we are going to disagree. Plus we are talking hypothetical situations.

BR posted this on another forum. This better not fucking happen.

I would be beyond pissed if the browns pulled that bs. I'd rather them just select tannefail at #4 and keep their picks.

No way. We got 2 firsts, a second and 2 fourths from the Falcons last year for the #6 overall.

It's still better than your track record and it's not like BR is saying it's going to happen. He is just posting info.

Yeah most of S&L's post are just little jabs at BR. I think maybe he doesn't have anything better to do with his time.

To be fair, BR is kinda a cry baby who doesn't go to the games because he doesn't like talking to people.
