NFL executives believe Robert Griffin III will bring down Hue Jackson

Despite getting a change of scenery and new opportunity, some NFL executives across the league don’t think RG3 will succeed in Cleveland

Next: Every NFL Team's Best Draft Pick Of All-Time

After three up-and-down, crazy, injury-riddled years in Washington, Robert Griffin III signed with the Cleveland Browns in March in hopes of a new start.

The move was big for Cleveland, who haven’t had a franchise quarterback in, well, just take a look at this:

In fact, Browns management was so confident in RG3 that they traded away the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to Philadelphia when they had the chance to select North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz.

Some NFL front-office members and scouts across the league aren’t as confident, however.

Via Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report:

"I don’t believe this to be true. At all. But I’m alone in some ways. Because some across football think Robert Griffin III will be a total disaster.Again, not buying this, but three front-office executives and two scouts said they believe Hue Jackson is making one of worst decisions of his young head coaching career by starting Griffin.“RG3 is going to bury Hue,” one general manager said.“Hue is going to find out that RG3 isn’t coachable,” another front-office executive said.OK, last one:“RG3 is going to drag Hue down with him,” one scout said."

Freeman went on to say that some of his other sources are more optimistic, so it may just be those select few that don’t believe in Griffin III.

"Yeah, that’s harsh. I have no idea how widespread this belief is. These are different sources from the ones I spoke to months ago who thought RG3 would initiate a great deal of interest when he was a free agent, and that Jackson could turn his career around. So it’s possible the opinions of executives across the sport vary greatly on RG3."

Griffin III has been named the starter for the Browns, as anyone and everyone could have assumed, so we’ll see how long it takes for RG3 to either prove these front-office members and scouts wrong, or horribly right.
