It's hard to argue that the Browns wouldn't be better off with RGIII at this point, though the price would have been steep. So far, the picks they saved by not making the trade have turned into Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden, and Barkevious Mingo. We'll see if it works out, but it seems unlikely. Those were some insanely questionable draft picks, except maybe for Mingo.<br /><br />As for how this would have affected the Ravens' fortunes, I think the most obvious impact is in relation to Flacco. The Browns were probably the only team in a position to try to outbid the Ravens for Flacco, because of their salary cap space, and a need for a QB. If they had RGIII, they would be out of the QB market, and the Redskins likely wouldn't have had the cap space to be a threat. So, yes, under this setup, and assuming the Ravens didn't win the Super Bowl, Flacco's contract probably would have been radically different. Not CFL different, but maybe $15 mil./year, rather than $20.1 mil.Sidney Mussburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104367326238874951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104858724022491504.post-44279806541020953582013-07-26T07:39:53.605-04:002013-07-26T07:39:53.605-04:00Hey the browns are looking up....sort of.... If th...Hey the browns are looking up....sort of.... If they had rg3 they would've gone 10-6 beaten the ravens twice (a poorly thrown pass from beaten us in the one game) won the division RG3 would have beaten the lowly colts in epic fashion why? The Colts suck overrated team hyped up by a superstar QB and a cancer ridden coach (God Bless him) The browns had a talented stop unit.... Not so much anymore.... given that lombardi raped it and forced the 3-4 scheme in which it doesn't fit there best defensive player (DQwell jackson). With rg3 at the helm Holmgren stays in cleveland along with schurmur. Oh and RG3 doesn't tear his ACL against the colts (Joe Thomas is a much better LT than williams) And luck tears his ACL on a corner blitz from joe haden.... RG3 Heads to denver defeating one horse can be beat the other...? Yes he can... RG3 throws a bomb deep to gordon... CAUGHT 30 20 15 10 5 TD!!!!!! Cleveland Praises RG3 as the black magician he is.... He's god in cleveland right about now.... In the 2013 AFC title game with 20 seconds left.... Clock running Snapped....RG3 looks to his left Pumps....Rolls out to his right....Hit...No he SPINNED!!!! RG3 running for the ENDZONE!!!! TD CLEVELAND!!! THE BROWNS ARE GOING TO THE SB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya that's what would've happened if holmgren traded for the 2nd pick in the 2012 draft. No joe flacco contract....no ray lewis awesome sendoff no ring for joe. Ed reed leaves without a ring vowing to never retire a raven.... Ray Lewis leaves as only ray lewis can.... On a stretcher.... Oh and the SB you ask? Well it went like this 49-48....49ers up by 1..... Phil dawson ready to kick...Ball is snapped...Snap is good....Hold is good...and its off! and......DAWSON HITS THE 49 YARD FIELD GOAL FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! Cleveland wins the SB.......browns fans say SUCK TI STEELERS! Bengals fans say....Always next year.... Flacco as a free agent sits on the market.....forever...He's never signed again viewed as a QB who can't win or get to the SB is shunned from the NFL even the lowly jaguars passing him up praising blaine gabbert.... (blegh...) Well joe goes onto the CFL.... where he wins 8 rings in a row. He's the best QB in CFL history. He's a god in montreal....After hockey season...Tylerhttp://lol.comnoreply@blogger.com
