First of all we both know what people said before the season means nothing. People were picking the Panthers to win the NFC South look where there at. They picked the bucs to be last they picked yall to be last. Pete Prisco said the Redskins would only win 2 games and never score over 28 points. My point is you have to wait and see a few games and theres no doubt you have a better defense and better WR's than the Redskins. And as far as the throw to Garcon on Thanksgiving please watch the highlight he threw a little behind him on purpose if he led him bruce carter was there to pick him off even Aikman said it was a perfect pass where only the WR could catch it. And what about the back shoulder throw to Santana for a TD or the 3rd down conversion to Santana that went in between 2 cowboys DB's right into santana's gut. You say he hasent been great most of the media says hes a possible MVP candidate not just ROY candidate. If he leads the Skins to the playoffs I gurantee he will be top 3 in MVP voting. Peyton will probably win it.50+ guys that before the season everybody said was a bunch of scrubs, castoffs, and rookies. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY thought the Colts even had a glimmer of a chance at the playoffs and Luck is a huge reason why they do have that chance, but now, since the Colts are where they are many of their detractors are saying that Luck has better weapons and a better defense than RG3. That goes back to the Colts actually having good coaching as well as a clutch rookie QB that has no quit in him. It also speaks volume's about how people will change their arguments to fit their personal agenda's.

I hear you like I said in previous posts I think Luck will win a SB or 2 or 3 lol depending on what the organization puts around him to help him. And I believe RG3 will do the same based on the right decisions made by the skins organization. I think both can take an average team to a SB one day thats how good i think they are. Ive just seen how bad the skins were the last 20 years and seen the difference this kid has made already. Luck on the other hand just 2 years ago I saw and 12 years before that I saw the Colts in the playoffs. And if youre telling me watching that thanksgiving game you didnt see AMAZINGNESS from RG3 I know your fibbing to prove your point lol. I am impressed with Luck based on replacing Manning thats alot of pressure to have on his shoulders I will give him that.Sorry, but I've heard all this before, just about different players. People were saying the exact same thing last yr. about Cam. That he was going to "revolutionize the way the game is played" and yet this yr. he has sucked. Maybe RG3 will be better, but im not convinced after 11 games. and I have not seen the so called "amazingness" of RG3.
Luck has done every bit as much for the Colts(if not more) than RG3 has for the Skins.
People said Vince Young was going to revolutionize the QB position and yet, the man is out of football now.
People said after Mannings and Leafs rookie yr. that Leaf was the better QB because he had a better yr. than Manning statistically.
I know, your gonna say, that RG3 is not Leaf, Young, Newton, or whoever you want to say, but the simple fact is, that You, me, or anyone else knows what the future holds for either guy. Im glad the Skins fans are happy with RG3, but as a Colts fan, Im ecstatic to have Luck here. IMO, he will be the better QB and have a better career. Like I said though, thats my opinion and the only thing that will change it is if in 5 yrs. Luck is an average QB and RG3 is dominating the league.
Also the QB's you bring up Vince Young, Ryan Leaf, Cam Newton what do they all have in common? They are all head cases Cam not as much a head case as the other 2 but he's more of a crybaby and unprofessional. Look at his press conferences HECK look at the Monday night game before the half he was whining and yelling at coaches because the coaches wanted to run the clock. RG3 is no headcase and he's a LEADER. Thats why in my opinion your examples make no sense. I can use the same sort of examples for Luck but I know it would be dumb.....People say he's the best prospect since Elway he's the #1 pick so he has to be the best....I could counter with well David Carr Joey Harrington Alex Smith BLAH BLAH BLAH...you get my point.

Lets be honest though that was said before the season. And the main reason people thought RG3 had better talent is because they thought he had a top 10 defense that would help him out and make him not have to do much. I don't know if you noticed but for the last 20 years my Redskins have sucked and been bottom feeders. You guys have 1 bad year and all of a sudden the talent there is worse. Another reason the media labeled us with more talent is because we had more wins than you last season but as I said in previous posts its because Painter was your qb and the Colts never addressed their backup QB like they should have because they had the iron man at qb. If Peyton doesnt get hurt last years team is a 10+ win team, please tell me if i'm wrong here? What RG3 is doing is amazing. He is taking a team that has been miserable putting them on his back and making them relivent. The Skins offense the past 10 seasons could barely avg 14 points a game now there darn near averaging 30 a game its quite amazing. RG3 whether colts fans want to admit it is gonna change the way people look at the qb position HE"S LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN CAM NEWTON AND HE'S A LEADER AND CAM'S A CRYBABY. I hear wait till next year well theres 11 weeks of tape and theres tape on the so called college offense and they can watch PANTHERS offensive tape to stop him too cause according to most of you it's the same offense YET NO ONE CAN STOP HIM. This league has never seen a guy that can run or pass with accuracy that is as smart as any QB in the league that is level headed and a leader like RG3. With RG3 it's pick your poisen. He's the reason wr's get so wide open its his duel threat. And I'll end it with this please answer this question....IF YOU WERE TO TALK TO ALL 32 D COORDINATORS IN THE NFL WHICH QB LUCK OR RG3 WOULD THEY HATE TO HAVE TO GAMEPLAN AGAINST THE MOST.....I GUARANTEE YOU 31 OF 32 WOULD SAY RG3. The coordinator that would pick Luck would probably be Greg Manusky and that would him just being politically correct.Before this season started, all the experts and most of the fans said we were the equivalent of an expansion team. We have a bunch of rookie's and castoffs from other teams with a few veterans sprinkled in. They said RG3 had a good team around him already and he would be more successful because of the team he had around him already.
Now, Luck has his team right square in the playoff hunt and the Skins have struggled, and all of a sudden, Luck has the better team with more weapons around him. Luck has made the players we have look better(except Reggie, who has helped Luck tremendously). The reason why RG3 has got so much hype is because he plays in a media market and Luck does not. RG3 has played well and done better than most rookie's do, but no matter how much the hype machine rolls for RG3, nobody will ever convince me that he is better than Luck and like I said before, the true test of how good either of these guy's actually are won't be seen till next yr.. Cam was a media darling last yr. too and everybody was all giddy for him, but this yr. he has struggled badly. I will take my chances with Luck everyday and twice on Sunday over RG3. Thats my opinion and I don't expect to change the RG3 lovers minds.

Where on earth besides at RB (And that was a surprise to everyone 6th rd. pick) is this talent the Redskins team has more of than the Colts? Is it the deadly probowl TE Logan Paulsen? is it the HOF WR crew of aldrick Robinson Josh Morgan Leonard Hankerson and a 55 year old Santana Moss.I love Pierre Garcon but hes been out almost the entire season. Our O-line is not much better than yours. We have the worst RT in football and Im not exagerating. Polumbus is a siv. Don't get me started on our secondary.Luck has undoubtably been the better of the 2. Im not saying RG3 sucks or anything like that, but people are not taking into account the entire picture when comparing the 2. They are only looking at the end result(stats wise) and not looking at just how many more throws Luck has to make.
Luck is getting very little help in the run game(although, it has been better as of late). RG3's offense is a dink and dunk style offense(despite what some will say). Most of his yds, are yds, after catch from his recievers. People say that RG3 is so accurate, but many of his throws are behind recievers and they still make very good catches.
The hype machine has been on overdrive for RG3 since the draft and people only see his highlights they show on ESPN. RG3 has been good this yr., but we will not see who is gonna be the better QB till next yr.. This time last season, everybody thought Cam was the next great QB and were already casting his bust for the HOF, but this yr. teams have had a chance to learn his game, make adjustments and Cam hasn't been able to adjust his game and take it to the next level.
Right now, Luck has his team on track to be a playoff team and thats with a much inferior team around him than RG3 has. Thats all that matters to me at this point and is the reason why Luck has been better. Next yr. we'll see how teams adjust to Luck and RG3 and we'll see which one takes his game to the next level and seperates himself from the other. Right now, Im betting on Luck but we'll see next season.

I wanted to say I understand your point about the media even as a Skins fan I think it's ridiculous. But like I said in my earlier post it's not his fault the media is drooling. Secondly the offense is way more complex then you give it credit he is running 3 different offenses including Shanahans base offense thats highly complex thats the offense that Elway Plummer and Cutler ran. And i even put a breakdown in this thread of the deep ball to Aldrick on Thanksgiving he was his third read he is making the progressions. It's sad to say but it's his skin color that is making people compare him to Cam Newton and Mike Vick. The dude is more Aaron Rodgers and Steve Young. Luck is Eli Manning he's not gonna wow you but he will get the job done and beat you in clutch situations. He also has the physical skills of Ben Roethlisberger.At this point fans of every team outside of the Skins, myself included, are just getting tired of the media which has become a RGIII hype machine. Coming into the season, most people, myself included, liked RGIII and thought he would be a good quarterback. However, the ridiculous amount of over-praise/hype RGIII gets after every game he plays has made it almost unenjoyable to watch a Skins game or their highlights. And to all the Skins fans/RGIII trolls in this thread-- YES, his offense is a college offense and is very simplistic. Half his throws are behind the line of scrimmage for crying out loud. Stop kidding yourself. Kudos to the Skins to making it work for him this year, but don't be surprised when it is exploited next year or if RGIII has growing pains ala Cam Newton when they transition to a pro offense.
As far as the Luck/RGIII comparisons go: yes, RGIII has the better stats, but I think a lot of that you can contribute to his his "dink and dunk" offense as others have pointed out ad naseum. However, I think if you just give both of these QBs the eye test it is impossible to come away not believing that Luck is the superior QB. Watch each of them play. Yes, RGIII has incredible athletic ability and throws a good deep ball. But Luck sees the field and is cerebral. He goes through his progressions. RGIII throws to his first receiver almost every time in the games I have watched him. Luck does try to force it sometimes, but I think a lot of that can be attributed to the pathetic O-Line he is playing with. Couple this with Luck's 2nd gear when it comes to game-winning drives, and I will take Luck any day of the week. Skins can keep RGIII.
-
Yes I watched the Eagles play thats how bad I think Jacksonville is. And the Texans would get beat by the Giants. Because the Giants always rise to the occasion when they play teams that no one thinks they can beat. ALA 49ers and Packers this season or if you wanna go back to both SB's against the PATS.The Texans are hands down better than anyone in the NFC East (althought I may give the Giants the edge if they play like they did against GB), and the Eagles aren't going to beat anyone--the Jaguars included. Have you actually watched them play lately?
-
Alot of people compare RG3 to Cam. And I see alot of prople thinking RG3 runs a simple college offense with quick reads while Andrew Luck runs a more pro style complex offense. Im here to tell you the Redskins offense is far from simple. RG3 is more Aaron Rodgers than Cam Newton. I think they get compared unfortuneately because they are both Black andreally athletic QBS. Check out this breakdown of th big play RG3 made to Aldrick Robinson against Dallas it will show you that the offense is alot more complex than people think. The guys at httr24-7 do a heck of a job breaking down plays and although they are redskins fans are not biased and like I said they know there stuff when it comes to football. http://httr24-7.com/?p=3792

The answer is yes he was on the september 17th issueDid RG3 get his already because he's so much better

He should wear more then a cup SI just put him on the cover.....HES JINXED...lol J/K

Should be 2 game winning drives lol I'm still ticked our defense let Cruz get behind them."...1 Game Winning Drive....642rush Yds...6TDs...6.5YPC..."
-
I know he gave him a nod for rushing but felt he left the numbers off of the post because the yardage is so crooked. Bottom line is though both players are awesome and both teams are happy and there are troll/haters on both sides and unfortunately that will not change.He gave a nod to Griff's rushing success in the post. Seconding QBR being dumb, though.
-
You left of a few HUGE stats its called RUSHING and RUSHING TD's. RG3 642 yards and 6 TD's Luck 165 yds. 5 TD's. Also using QBR is bull crap that is a made up ESPN stat the NFL doesnt use QBR. The QB rating they use RG3 is 104.6 and Luck 77.2.....Using espn's QBR is like using a rating system I made up lol. I know you put both but QBR is dumb use just the real rating that is official.Here we go:
Andrew Luck.....235/412...57%...2965yds...12/12 TD/INT...7.2Yds per Att...12.6Yds per Comp...296.5Yds per Game...77.2Passer Rating...75.64QBR...22Sks...2 4th QT comebacks...4 Game Winning Drives...163rushYds...5TDs...4.7YPC...
Luck has had 4Tds over 30 yards, 4Tds under 7yards...the others are 14,8,16,9...He has gained 211yds on TD passes, avg 17yds per TD...
Andrew Lucks team is 6-4, and the teams he's competed against are 43/49 (1 1-9Team), with 2 wins over teams with a winning record....

I know the troll ticked you off but saying RG3 won't sniff the playoffs is showing your uninformed and not looking at the standings. Right now the redskins are a game and a half behind the giants for the division lead. And this week the G-men play the Packers who easily could beat them meaning the Skins would be 1 game back and guess what? play the G-men next week on Monday night football. Andrew Luck and the Colts on the other hand are 3.5 games back of the division. So RG3 might sniff the playoffs more then you think.Considering RG3 won't be sniffing playoffs
It's still close

Please all read this blog from a giants blogger http://www.ultimatenyg.com/2012-articles/october/a-more-thorough-discussion-of-the-exhilarating-win-vs-washington.htmlYeah and if you had Peyton last year you wouldn't have finished where you did either. That doesn't mean we had a talented roster though. A truly talented roster wins more then 2 games regardless of who the QB is.
Reggie Wayne is the only player you can name. That's it.
Nobody here said you have a great O line, we just said you have a better O line then the Colts. That's a fact. The Colts have one of the worst lines in football. The Redskins at worse are in the middle of the pack for line play.
-
Like I said earlier you were ranked so low due to QB play having Curtis Painter starting for you. I guarantee you this if Peyton played last season Ya'll wouldnt have sniffed the #1 pick in fact the Colts would have won 10 plus games. Reggie Wayne trumps any of our WR's. All of a sudden Yalls argument is we have a good O-line do you realize how bad our Oline got killed in the media and by fanbases on message boards. Now all of a sudden we have the best O-line in football. Its because how mobile and how much of THREAT RG3 IS. watch games defensive ends freeze in place I litterally saw Jared Allen stop and watch Alfred Morris run right by him because he thought RG3 had the ball.I don't need to take my own advice. The Redskins finished 16th in total offense just like i said. The Colts finished 30th. Now you tell me which offense was "boring".
If you wanna talk points, you still lose the argument as the Colts were 28th in points.
Thanks and come back anytime.
-
But you know just like I know that Wayne is 100 times the wr Moss is and anyone if they had a choice would choose Wayne. And I agree before the season everyone me included said RG3 would have a better year because he had the better weapons. But injuries changed that Garcon is out since basically week 1 now Davis is out and personally the injury to Garcon its starting to come out its similar to Sean Lee's toe injury and could put him out for the season. Nobody knew Alfred Morris would do what he's doing. But as far as weapons overall regarding TE's and WR's i give the Colts a slight edge. Bottom line is both QB's are turning chicken % into chicken salad.I don't think you give your RB or O line enough credit. There are a bunch of excellent QB's in this league who do not have a running back in the top 2 in rushing. Peyton Manning may go down as the greatest to ever play and his running game was terrible in his late years here. I guess defenses didn't respect Manning?
Your argument that the Colts have more offensive weapons just isn't true. Moss may be old, but he's still a playmaker. You also had a pretty decent tight end in Fred Davis before he got hurt last week. You have a running back who may lead the league in rushing. The Colts have Wayne and a bunch of unproven rookies and castoffs. There is a reason pretty much everyone thought that RG would enjoy a better first season and that was because the talent around him was better then what the Colts had. Yes Painter and Collins were bad last year, but the talent level here was not very good, thats why many were released and they basically started over.
-
Teams can stack the box all they want RG3 can and will beat teams throwing the ball. His quick release and accuracy are insane. Read the comments the Giants gave him after the game and they dont usually give compliments they usually talk trash.The running game is what it is because of Shanny. Having a running QB could actually hurt the running game if they stack the box.
-
Like I said above Alfred is benefiting from RG3. As far as weapons without Garcon he has a 100 year old Santana moss Leonard Hankerson Aldrick Robinson Josh Morgan. Ill take Reggie Wayne over any of those guys infact would you trade wayne for any of those guys? And the fact you were ranked 30th in offense wasnt because of weapons it was because Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter was your starting QB and as much as I hate Rex Grossman he's better than those two. And don't get me started on defense before the season started I would have laughed if a Colts fan told me there defense was better right now your defense is better. The skins have allowed a 300 yd passer and a 100 yd WR in every game except the Bucs game. And still Josh Freeman had 299 yards passing. Like i said i love Andrew Luck he's gonna win a SB or two in my opinion but I also think RG3 will as well. I see alot of subtle shots taken at RG3 on this board for the most part this board is awesome just don't understand some of the RG3 hate.The Redskins just last year as "boring" as they were, ranked 16th in total offense.
The Colts, who supposedly now "have better offensive weapons then the Skins" according to you even though they gutted everyone but Wayne, ranked 30th in total offense.
Just who are all these better offensive weapons the Colts have? Is it their rookie tight ends? The rookie wide receivers? Maybe it's Donnie Avery who was unemployed? Maybe it's the dominant O line and our explosive running game? Oh wait, it's Alfred Morris who actually is 1 yard off the rushing lead in the NFL this year. The Colts rank 22nd in rushing by the way.
I got no problem with you defending your man, but at least make accurate statements here.
-
Why is the running game so good? HELLLLO RG3 he freezes Lb'ers because they have to be aware of the pass. Alfred is awesome but do you think he's an Arian Foster or Adrian Peterson. For instance when RG3 got hurt and Cousins entered the game The running game was null and void. Defenses didnt have to account for Cousins as much as RG3. In the first hald Alfred was shredding the Falcons when RG3 leaves the game HE DOES NOTHING.I didn't bother to read beyond the first line. It was a joke.
Edit: The running game is why they score so much.
-
If you could and it worked like the Redskins then you would. Skins lose cause of there defense especially pass defense. You can take shots at RG3 all you want but he's a superstar and I'll say it he's better than Luck. Luck is great don't get me wrong. But the Redskins offense for the last 10 years has been one of the worst and boring offenses to watch in the NFL. this kid comes along they are now a must watch team and avg. darn near 30 points a game. And the colts have better offensive weapons than the skins do. I just don't understand why the shot at RG3 has to happen is it maybe you think deep down the Colts made the wrong choice? Is it your ticked that even though Luck was picked #1 RG3 gets every headline. You keep thinking all he does is throw screens and I'll show you a dime dropped to Santana Moss for a go ahead TD or a 4th and 10 converted with JPP and Osi getting juked out of there shoes and as he's falling throws a 20 yd. dart perfectly thrown to Logan paulsen. They are both Franchise guys no doubt but darn some of the RG3 hate I see is ridiculous.We could just run screens and dump offs all day and lose games like the Redskins.
-
I here you he is on pace to run alot but if you have watched the last to games he's taking what the defense is giving him and he hasent been hit at all while running. He's getting out of bounds. Youre right you have played good defenses especially the bears. Did you see offensively what the skins did to the Vikes almost 300 rushing yards. Same with the Giants i cant believe how good the offense is playing. We can run on anyone the bucs who have the number 1 rush defense we ran for like 247 its been incredible. The fear defenses have of rg3 taking off is incredible and is opening up so many running lanes for Morris. And thats why Rg3 is throwing underneath and throwing slants so much because the guys are so wide open because Im telling you LBers are litterally freezing. And I agree with you that Luck would be fine in Shanny's offense he would be fine in any offense but RG3 is better for Shanny's offense with all the boots and running he has RG3 do. The colts offense is perfect for Luck because he can do what Peyton did with audibles and being a strictly pocket passer.I've noticed hes taken less hits these past couple of weeks but he has already ran 23 times (64 total) more than Vick and on pace for 144! So even if hes trying his absolute best to not get hit if you're running at that frequency more often than not something bad is bound to happen. He may be fast and elusive but he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. =P
Luck would have been fine in a Shanahan offense. Shanny was enamored with RG3 cause he knew there was no chance to get Luck. lol
And yes Luck has been popped real good a few times these past few weeks. A few were his fault.
Also you can't really say hes doing all of this in the tough NFC East either because hes only faced one divisional team...and lost. And while our division may not be good we've faced the Bears and Vikings ridiculously good defenses along with the Jets and Packers who aren't exactly scrubs.
-
I understand you got rid of Dallas Clark and addai and all of those guys but you still have better WR's and tight ends than the redskins have especially with Garcon hurt. He basically only played in the 1st game. RG3 is throwing to 100 year old Santana Moss josh Morgan Leonard Hankerson and Aldrick Robinson. Yes we did get lucky and found Alfred Morris in the 6th round but RG3 being able to freeze LB'ers and Shanny's zone blocking scheme is a huge reason Morris is having the year he is having. I hate Wilbon but if you read his quote he said RIGHT NOW through 7 games he's been the best player in football. That defineately could be true Rodgers was playing bad until these last 2 weeks. You guys don't understand RG3 bumped up the redskins avg points up by like 14 points a game were averaging darn near 30 points a game. The skins offense the past 6 years has been one of the worst offenses in football and we draft this kid and now were top 5 with no weapons. If you look at it that way I'd say he's in the MVP discussion right? Personally i think JJ Watt is the MVP right now. One more thing RG3 is doing all this in one of the toughest divisions in football. The Colts division is garbage minus the Texans.Yes and andrew luck is in a team that started 0-13 last year, finished 2-14, and that in the offseason released or not resigned their veterans leaders such as dallas clark, jo addai, tamme, garçon, gary bracket, etc.... New Head Coach (that is probably out for the year) New offenseive CO, New defense CO, AND still has his team with a record of 3-3, better than the record the redkins currently have. (Redkins were a 5-11 team, that already had some year with shannahan at HC).
-
This is a funny stat to me because yes he does not go deep as much as Luck but that's because he doesn't have to if you can throw underneath and its unstoppable why go away from it. Not to mention yac is also caused by a QB's accuracy to hit the WR on the run. Shanny is opening up the playbook more and he's starting to throw down field a heck of alot more these past 2 games. As far as you putting the GIF of RG3's concussion he learns from his mistakes and has slid or ran out of bounds and has not got hit clean once while running since the Falcons game. heck to be honest Ive seen Luck get hit harder in the pocket these last 2 games. Popular to contrary belief you can get injured in the pocket as well. RG3 does not run stupid like Vick he's always thinking pass first. Now I will admit I am surprised with the design runs Shanny uses I never thought he would use so much designed QB draws and option. And Im not to sure if the Skins had the first pick they would have took Luck. Shanny was enamored with RG3 not to mention RG3 fits what Shanny likes to do better than Luck. Like I said both are superstars in the making I just think RG3 can do alot more and is just as good in the passing game if not better than Andrew.Actually 51.4% are YAC. The fifth highest mark in the league. ;)
-
I said Colts made the wrong pick because your suppose to pick the best and dynamic player at 1. I think RG3 is that. Maybe I shouldnt have said wrong pick cause Luck is a superstar as well i just think RG3 can do it all. Im lucky to be a redskins fan right now. Its been so long since weve had a competitive qb let alone a superstar. I dont want people to think Im hating on Luck because i love Luck as well or Im just on RG3's nuts because Im a skins fan. Thats not the truth at all Ive been on the RG3 bandwagon since october of last year before I had a clue the skins would trade for him. I think he gets deemed a running QB and one dimensional for racial reasons and thats unfair. There is only 1 RG3 that could make the offense he's running work. Defenses will figure it out but hes so adaptable like I said in the previous post try and stop the option he'll beat you over the top. try and take away the passing game he'll run up and down the field. This guy is special and one of a kind. Andrew Lucks will come once every 15 years RG3's come once in a lifetime. I never thought Id see a qb that can run like this but at the same time can fling it like an Aaron Rodgers.I agree with the prior posters point regarding RGIII and his stats (however i disagree and feel that the colts made the correct choice in drafting Luck) . . .
If we look at all of the "great" QBs in the NFL, Rodgers, two Mannings, Brady, Brees, and so on . . . his numbers are in the range with them . . .has 13 overall TDs (passing and rushing), altho he does not throw as much he is very accurate and has the highest completion percentage of all QBs . . . also, he does not have the WRs that the others have, and we must remember that a good portion of a QBs stats are relate to who he is throwing too . . .
He is on a team that went 5-11 last year as opposed to the other QBs had great teams last year (and for PM, Denver was 7-4 with Tebow last year) . . . altho he is 3-4, the other QBs are not lighting it up record wize and if those two iffy calls were not made againt the Skins on sunday, they win that game and are 4-3 atop the NFC East . .. and even without that RGIII got his team into the endzone for a go ahead TD with about a min and change to go . . . until his D left Cruz wide open, which is still a mystery to me . . .
But he has a 5-11 team at 3-4 (similar to the other "great" QBs) and is doing it with one of the worse Ds in the league . . .
so i can see how some would want to toot his horn . . .
given the number of 4-3, 3-3, and 3-4 teams, i am not sure who else is so far ahead of RGIII that one can claim putting RGIII in the discussion is not unreasonable . . . he has similar abilities of the other QBs, the accuracy of Brees, Big Ben's toughness, and Brady's open field speed . . .
my two cents . . .
NOTE: I placed a minor inaccuracy in my post and you win cookie if you can find it
