Hue Jackson Ready to Pull the Plug on RG III and Make Another QB Change?

The Browns are now 0-14, and from the sounds of it a few weeks back we were all going to get a chance to see Robert Griffin III play the rest of the season at quarterback to see what the Browns had at the position and if they would use a high pick on a quarterback in the May draft.

Two weeks into it, coach Hue Jackson sounds like he might be ready to pull the plug.

ESPN WKNR’s Tony Grossi wrote this evening that he thinks Jackson is ready to move on from Griffin, and that the coach is talking about thinking long and hard about a quarterback change.

Here’s what Grossi wrote about the situation:

The Robert Griffin Experiment may be coming to an end.

After he watched Griffin pilot the Browns to one touchdown in a 33-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Hue Jackson said he would contemplate a quarterback change to avoid an 0-16 season, which is two games from reality.

“Everything’s going to be on the table,” the loss-weary coach said. “I just have to. Because I think I owe these guys the best opportunity to win. As a leader, I’ve got to make sure I’m putting the right people out there.”

Because of injuries and performance, Jackson has made six quarterback changes already. But none has stopped the team’s historic losing streak, which has reached 14 games this year and 17 overall.

Jackson’s recycling of Game 1 starter Griffin, healthy after a 12-week recovery from a broken bone in a shoulder, has now produced two non-competitive losses – by 13 to the Bengals and 20 to the Bills.

Grossi is spot on about that issues that Griffin has had in the two games since returning, as the game against the Bengals was a disaster, and today wasn’t much better as the team couldn’t stop the reeling Bills, making them look like AFC Super Bowl contenders a week after they were pushed around for 60 minutes by the Steelers.

No one has been all that good for the Browns at QB, as since their three-point loss to the Jets on October 30th, the team has lost the last six games by 108 points (18 points per game).

The closest loss this season was the teams’ two-point loss to the Titans, a game which saw Cody Kessler under center. He’s 0-8 as a starter this season.
