Ex-Redskins receiver ranks RG3 below two forgettable Washington QBs
Santana Moss doesn't sound like the biggest fan of Robert Griffin III

Before the Cleveland Browns officially name Robert Griffin III their starting quarterback in 2016, they might want to call Santana Moss to get a second opinion.
During a recent TV appearance, Moss was asked to rank the top five quarterbacks he played with during his 10 seasons in Washington, and let's just say, RG3 didn't rank anywhere near the top.
Moss, who played for the Redskins from 2005-14, was only asked to rank the quarterbacks he played with during that timespan.
Here's how he ranked his top-five quarterbacks.
Note: After each number, Moss offered a short explanation for his ranking (via CSNMidAtlantic.com).
1. Mark Brunell: "Marky Mark came in strong. My 2005 season, he came off the bench in the first half of the first game and never saw the bench again that year. He should've been a Pro Bowler that year and that's why he's my No. 1 guy."
2. Donovan McNabb: "In 2010, he came in, we didn't expect a whole lot, but I saw what he did in Philly, he came in strong and led us to a great start."
3. Rex Grossman: "Showed a lot of promise."
4. Jason Campbell: "Jason got a chance to [play] in 2006 and take over for Mark Brunell. We got a chance to get on board with each other in 2008, where I had 1,100 yards with him that year."
5. Robert Griffin III: "Me and Griffin shared the end zone a lot in 2012. I was thrilled to have that season with him."
Apparently, Moss wasn't that thrilled to play with RG3, because ranking him behind Campbell and Grossman is basically the opposite of a compliment.
There is some good news for RG3 though: At least he made the list!
Patrick Ramsey, Todd Collins and John Beck were all left off the list. For those three though, it was probably because Moss doesn't remember playing with them. Beck and Collins only started three games with Moss, while Ramsey only started one Redskins game during Moss' career.
Basically, this means that RG3 ranks dead last on the list if we only include quarterbacks who started 10 or more games during Moss' career.
The other notable snub is Kirk Cousins, although it's not clear if Moss left him off the list because they only played nine games together or if he got left off because Moss actually thinks he's a bad quarterback. If that's the case, maybe the Redskins and Browns should call Jason Campbell and talk him out of retirement.
