  1. RG3 is not ready to carry his team yet... just run option football. (great for the short term) But tape accumulates.

    Luck has done it all season. Without trix.

    WINK

    What tricks? You mean the majority of Mike Shanahan offense of out pistol formation ? Yes they run the option a few times but it is not the whole offense.. Teams have had 13 weeks of tape on it and they are not close to stopping it. In fact teams around the league are actually starting to implement some of the offesne themselves like the 49ers, Seahawks, Bills, Panthers etc.. Even the Giants have put ELI back in the pistol a few times the past few games...

    Lets not talk about facts tho, people don't like when that happens.

  2. Nothing.

    But the one you posted earlier was not Luck's fault. I can't help it that you messed up a troll post.

    Would you like video of the ALL22 footage that clearly shows you are wrong?

    Im not trying to troll either.

    I actually think Luck will be a darn good QB one day but hes not there yet. I understand fans have a bias for their team and will defend their guy but some of the stuff on here is over the top. I saw one poster say Robert was too stupid to run the Colts offense.. That is way off base.

    Im a Redskins fan and know that Robert isn't perfect but the craziness I see from some posters on here is nuts. People can say Robert doesnt throw deep so he only has 4 picks but that is not the facts. Robert leads the league in TDs over 25 yards with 9, throws balls 15 yards plus 17.8% of the time which is right around guys like Ryan, Brady, Rodgers,Schaub,P.Manning, and D.Brees...

    Luck doesn't have to throw the ball deep at a 28% clip , he chooses to.

    I think Robert is aggressive but makes good deciesions within the offense. I know a majority of the board will debate this but Griff has always been carefull with the football even at Baylor.

    Robert needs to improve his footwork in must pass situations like 3rd and long etc. That is where he is weak right now BUT the Shanahan offense has always been a dominate 1st and 2nd down play pass system, so what is really different.

    Im not trolling but would love a actual football discussion..

  3. That's a rookie receiver not crossing face on a slant pass.

    You can't even troll right.

    It is actually a Rookie QB throwing a innacurrate football into zone coverage. Can't throw the ball behind the WR when a CB has eyes on the CB in zone.. Bad throw.

    What did the WR do wrong here ?luck2.gif

  4. Why is he more accurate? Shorter easier throws. Not a like for like comparison. Next year, teams will game plan better for Griffin, which will make it tougher. Well, that's the theory....

    Via ESPN insider..

    .RG3 has thrown a high share of short passes, with 153 of his 205 completions (74.6 percent) thrown fewer than 10 yards. But he's just a tree in an NFL forest of QBs throwing short passes. Consider that Tom Brady, with a passer rating of 105.2, is throwing short at a far higher rate. Brady has thrown fewer than 10 yards on a whopping 222 of his 308 completions entering Week 13, or 81 percent, far ahead of Griffin. Matt Ryan, with perhaps the NFL's best downfield options in Julio Jones and Roddy White (as well as Tony Gonzalez), throws short 73 percent of the time, essentially the same as Griffin. Peyton Manning (74.1), Rodgers (73.4) and even Joe Flacco (70 percent) are all thriving on the short ball at a rate virtually the same as RG3.

    Then consider the "running QB" critique.

    ....So far in 2013, of RG3's league-leading 100 carries, a full 63 of them were designed runs. That means through 11 games, and 367 drop backs, Griffin has actually chosen to scramble only 37 times. According to Pro Football Focus, Griffin is pressured at a somewhat scary rate of 35.1 percent of drop backs thanks to Washington's offensive line. Think of it this way: RG3 has seen pressure at an almost identical rate as Luck, and has scrambled on average about one more time per game. (Again: with 4.41 speed.) Given his ridiculous talents as a runner, the stronger case to be made is that RG3 is actually showing restraint as a runner, not too much confidence in his legs. His Run EPA is lower than even Jay Cutler's.....

    ....The accuracy stands up under another level of scrutiny -- pressure. Against five or more rushers, RG3 has completed 67.4 percent of passes, a higher rate than the impossible-to-blitz Peyton Manning. His accuracy percentage under pressure is an obscene 81.9 percent, an NFL high....

    .....According to PFF, RG3's accuracy percentage (which accounts for drops, throwaways, spikes, batted passes and passes where the QB is hit while throwing) is at an NFL-leading 80.5 percent. The lead itself is impressive, but to put that number in context, since PFF began tracking the stat in 2008, only Rodgers has a higher rate -- 80.6 percent. In other words, RG3 through 11 games is as accurate a passer as we've seen in the NFL over a five-year period when virtually every passing record has been torched. Among rookies in that time, Ryan has the best full-season mark, at 74.6 percent. How deterministic is that number? This season, the guys directly trailing RG3 are Rodgers, Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, Matt Schaub and Brady. Pretty good company....

    Robert Griffin III beats Luck in a majority of metrics that measure QB play. Luck is good and probably will be great but Robert will be better.

    I suggest some people actually learn about the skins offense before you chalk it up to " college offense" .. That is a lazy argument. Redskins are running most of the Shanahan offense out of college formations like the pistol.
