  1. First of all lost me when he beat out Charlie batch for a record. A lot of the other records were pretty much poop also. I'm sure someone can make up a list of Lucks accomplishments that would destroy that.

    Please do.

  2. Here's the records RG3 set.

     

     

    • He is the first rookie in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards, two touchdowns and no picks in his first start, and the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to finish the first half of his first game with a perfect passer rating.
    • He is the first rookie in NFL history to throw 4 touchdowns in back to back games in the NFL season, the second player in NFL history to throw four touchdowns in back to back games, and the first player to do so without the benefit of a bye week in between.
    • He is the first player in NFL history to throw for over 3200 yards, rush for 800 yards, and have a completion percentage over 60%.
    • He broke the record for rookie passer rating set by Ben Roethlisberger in 2004 (102.4), and finished third in passer rating behind Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.
    • He is just the 54th man in NFL history to record a “Perfect Game”, beating the Eagles with a passer rating of 158.3 and having just one incomplete pass.
    • He’s the first rookie to have two touchdowns of 65+ yards in his first two starts since Greg Cook in 1969.
    • He tied with Ben Roethlisberger for the 2nd most games with a passer rating over 100. (Russell Wilson ultimately broke is in first place.)
    • Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson are the only rookie quarterbacks in NFL history to finish the regular season with a passer rating over 100.
    • He has the lowest percentage of passes intercepted (1.3), breaking Charlie Batch’s record (1.98.)
    • He had the fourth best completion percentage in the league.
    • He set the rookie record for rushing yards in a season by a quarterback. (815)
    • He led the league in yards per pass attempt. (8.1)
    • He led the league in yards per carry. (6.9)
    • His 76 yard touchdown versus the Minnesota Vikings was the second longest run by a quarterback in NFL history and the first 70+ yarder since Kordell Stewart in 1996.
    • He is the first quarterback in NFL history to have four 60+ yard touchdowns and a 60+ yard rushing touchdown.
    • Robert Griffin III and Dan Marino (1983) are the only rookie quarterbacks in NFL history to be selected to the Pro Bowl outright. (I.E, without someone else having to drop out first.)
    • He’s the only quarterback in NFL history with over 750 rush yards to finish with a passer rating over 100.
    • He’s the only quarterback in NFL history with over 75 rush yards to finish with a 4:1 touchdown to INT ratio.
    • Set the Redskins franchise rookie record for completions,
    • He set the record for rookie completion percentage in one game (93%).
    • He led the Washington Redskins to their first division title since 1999, their first 10 win season since 2005, and just their third playoff appearance in the last 20 years.
    • He influenced other playoff teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks to adopt elements of the read-option and the pistol formation, both of which were supposed to be impossible to make work in the NFL.
    • He was a two time NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month, two time NFC Offensive Player of the Week, 7 time Pepsi Rookie of the Week, a Pro Bowl selection, and the Sporting News and PFW/PFWA Rookie of the Year.

     

    That's why he's rookie of the year. Hate it if you want to, blame it on the media if you want to, say he's overhyped, say he's injury prone. But hard data doesn't lie.
