Manning and RGIII as the backup is the best case. You got Manning for 3 to 4 years then resign RGIII and release Manning. You are set at QB for 10 to 12 years then start building everything else around that.
With this you basically pay RGIII to ride the pine, then RGIII is up for a new contract and he hasn't even proven he's worth it yet. That's a lot of $$ to tie up at QB too.
I think it's a case of picking one or the other. Not both.

Hearing the Broncos might actually be a dark horse for Flynn. Unfortunately for Flynn, both the Dolphins and Browns (particularly the Dolphins) have been lukewarm about their interest in Flynn. Seattle still very interested
I think I probably give it a 60-40 edge Manning over RG3 as our next QB. We shall see

If the Browns are not interested in Flynn and get desperate for RG3, we are screwed in the RG3 sweepstakes. Unless the Browns continue to insist in keeping their first two rounders.

then we will have Tannehill and Rex or Orton.

Same thing will happen if you get Tannehill.

60-40? So does that mean you're 100% sure (as sure as you can reasonably be) well get one or the other?

but u would have to give up picks for RG3 and i dont think they would sign manning and then draft Tannehill at #6, they might draft a QB later/

Agreed...unless Tannehill turns out to be a much better QB than expected.
