Honestly, how long can RG3 keep this up?

Except the RG3 is bigger, faster, throws the ball more accurately and isn't a thug.

Never has never will in the NFL. Great for fantasy league but for winning super bowls give me the slow intelligent white guy.

right, because andrew luck is slow and RGIII is not intelligent.

and aaron rodgers never runs and hasn't had a single concussion.

let go of the stereotypes people.

The guy is running A LOT and taking hard hits. It might persist for a little while he's young, but is it a sustainable QB practice?

Not sustainable. He HAS the ability to be a pocket passer, so they need to enforce that on him a bit more.

Fun Facts:

1. Andrew Luck is not slow. In fact, he could beat 99% of Letsrunners in a sprint, as could almost all quarterbacks in the NFL, even the white ones, with a few exceptions.

He ran a 4.67 40, (electronic timed, not backyard bs) at the combine, not blazing by NFL standards but still a very fast human being.

2. RG3 is indeed a smarter person than most Letsrunners, he graduated high school a semester early as class president with a seventh overall ranking in his class. He began college at age 17 and graduated in 3 years with a 3.67 GPA while running track and playing football at a D1 level.

Give me Russell Wilson. Almost as athletic, better passer,makes great decisions and slides when he runs instead of taking big hits by the defense. That's right Russell Wilson will be the best QB in 2 years.

Don't forget the part where he made NCAA's in the 400 hurdles his freshman year of college (as a 17 year old). You also forgot to add that he finished college early and had started an MS program before leaving Baylor.

You all do realize Griffin is the most accurate passer in the league right now?? He doesn't just run.

That's great and all but he runs often enough that it's going to shorten his career. The guy is skinny.

That's a very trendy opinion right now, but ultimately Andrew Luck will be better than either Wilson or Griffin. And that's not a slam against either of the latter, but even a layman or casual fan can look the players and their respective team's current circumstances and see that Luck is and will remain the best of the three.

I watched the game on Monday and he didn't really take any hits, he seems to be very cautious now when it comes to taking hits. Are you guys even watching the games? yes in the beginning of the season he was arrogant and taking the defensive plays head on. Now he is looking to get out of bounds, sliding, or just throwing an incomplete pass to prevent the big hit. I mean he is going to get hit, all of the big quarterbacks get hit and beat up every once in a while. But he is now playing like the rest of the big time quarterbacks and being cautious because he knows what is at risk.

You're right. it's pretty trendy to have your last 2 drives of the game go for 97 and 80 yd TD winning drives. That tends to be trendy I must say and I believe that doing something like that as a rookie QB is kinda overrated. Wilson also has the 3rd best QBR in the league the last several weeks but thats kinda trendy too. Oh My Gosh Luck and RG3 are so much better Oh my gosh!

No, that would be Alex Smith (70.0%), followed by Peyton Manning (68.0%), then Aaron Rodgers (67.4%) then RGIII (67.1%).

RGIII has much better running numbers than the other three. He also has 10 fumbles.

Shockingly, Russell Wilson as a rookie QB isnt too far behind RGIII! He has a 95.2 QBR (behind RGIII's 104.4), 2344 yards throwing 19 TDs with 8 INTs (behind RGIIIs, 2660 17 and 4) Not bad considering he is on a run first team with Marshawn Lynch being the #2 rusher in the league. He also has 7 wins, only one behind Luck. Luck has high INTs, low completion percentage, but Luck is ALL Indy has. He is probably going to set the NFL all time record for pass attempts this season. If he had a slightly better line and a quality running back, they would be fantastic team.

Right now the ROY should go, IMO:

1. Robert Griffin III

2. Doug Martin (1106 yards on 236 rushes, 3rd in the league, with 9 TDs on the ground and one recieving)

3. Andrew Luck

4. Russel Wilson

Sadly, Wilson and Martin would be ROY any other year.

Oops, I forgot Matt Ryan, he has a completion percentage of 67.5%, and Romo is tied with RGIII at 67.1%[quote]M.C. Confusing wrote:

2.5 years. That is the window for above-average production from a "running" quarterback.

while i think i would place him 5th on the list, or at least behind the 4 guys you have listed, alfred morris deserves mention too for offensive ROY. he is tied with doug martin for 3rd in the league in rushing yards.

I just read an astounding bit of info on Russell Wilson. Not only has he thrown 9 TDs and 0 INTs in the last four games, but he has a 122.0 QBR at home for the season.

I don't know how long he will last (not long, I suspect) but, damn, he seems like a helluva nice guy for a guy with that much talent and smarts.

It's funny how people are equating accuracy with completion percentage because they aren't the same thing.

Well if you don't, then the term "most accurate" is meaningless because there is no way to measure that stat. Completion Percentage is the closest you can come to that as an actual statistic, otherwise, there is no point in even talking about something that cant be measured.

It would be like saying someone is the "best tackler"...not has the most tackles, but has the "best" tackles. Pointless gibberish.

Should be 18 wins 9 picks and 6 wins. Thanks Godell for doing nothing about the obvious.
