The Cleveland Browns have continually swung and missed in a lot of areas since returning to the NFL in 1999.
Most notably and most crucially have been their continued misfortunes in trying to find a franchise quarterback.
The Browns have tried the draft, failing miserably with first-round selections Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden and, most spectacularly, Johnny Manziel.
Those failures have led them to continually go in search of a quarterback to be a “bridge” to the future – Jeff Garcia, Trent Dilfer, Jake Delhomme, Jason Campbell, Josh McCown are names Browns fans are familiar with.
Robert Griffin III is the latest name on that list but this time, rather than being a placeholder on the wrong side of 30, the Browns are very cautiously optimistic that Griffin could be different.
