Bad move on his part IMO, he should have gone somewhere like KC where he could have sat under a good QB with a great QB coach and then been a star again after taking over. Now we will be in the top 1 or 2 of the draft bust lists forever.

Of course that assumes that KC wanted him. I never heard anything of the sort.
That's the most damning thing here. He has been a free agent for two+ weeks, the only visits he took were the Jets and the Browns.
The Rams have Foles as their best option and they didn't bring Robert in. Elway currently has Sanchez as his best option, and he didn't bring Robert in. The Jets currently have Geno Smith, and aren't willing to go higher than $8M to Fitzpatrick. They kicked the tires on Griffin but didn't bend over backwards to sign him. Houston really needed a QB, and rather than give RG3 a look they figured they'd throw $18M per season at Osweiler who has only played what, 8 games in the NFL?
Teams that really needed a QB aren't interested in him. And Shefter is reporting that Cleveland is still likely to draft a QB with #2 overall.
Most of us understand because we're a fairly knowledgeable board, but Robert really has fallen that far. 2012 is not coming back.
The Browns come to Fed Ex in 2016. I wonder if Griffin even plays. You'd have to say chances are it will be Goff, Wentz, or McCown.
