[Luck Locked For OROTY?]

Robert Griffin III has taken a last place team to compete for a division title.  And in case some of you have forgetten, the NFC East has the defending Super Bowl Champions (2x in the last 5 years). In other words, NFC East > AFC South

 

The NY Giants have a pass-rushing defense that was single-handedly responsible for de-railing future Hall-of-Famer Tom Brady and dismantling the New England Patriots dynasty. Watching the Redskins/Giants games are among Griffins best performances.

 

RG3 still managed the least interceptions among starting QBs in the NFL (four) - unheard of as a rookie. The NFL record for fewest interceptions in a season is - four interceptions for a 16 game start, and one interception for 9 games or more. Seriously has a rookie quarterback EVER led the NFL with the least interceptions? Or challenged for the NFL record of least interceptions? Also 13 games in, Griffin is tied for the top QB rating with... a future hall of fame-er & Superbowl MVP Tom Brady and he did this with his top wide receiver out for half the season and his top tight end out the entire season. Who has ever done more, with less??

Andrew Luck - racked up a lot of passing yards with 5-time pro-bowler, Reggie Wayne (on course for a 100+ catch/1300yd season), but tied for most interceptions and played against much lesser competition, including the leagues worst, 2-11 Jacksonville Jaguars. Also it is a matter of historical fact that the Colts, despite the leagues worst record last year, were only a QB & one season away from five straight play-off appearances with double-digit win seasons (including only being 2 seasons removed from a Superbowl appearance). While the Redskin had not sniffed the playoffs for the same five years. Plus Luck has a 5-time pro-bowl wide receiver in Reggie Wayne, while Griffin's did it without his top wide receiver for half the season and without his top tight end.

It's a clean sweep across all major categories. Griffin has done more, with less, against better competition, and with a better QB-rating, a better completions percentage, less sacks, and 4 interceptions vs 18 interceptions.

People who say it is close - I have no idea what they are looking at.

[Wilbon/ Wapo: Colts Seriously Considering Rg3]

I saw RG3 at an autograph signing in Chantilly, VA. His agent would only allow him to sign Redskins and Baylor merchandise. He was not permitted to sign Colts gear.

Take it for what its worth.
