Why is it cool for some to make derogatory remarks about RG3's knee injury but if some one was to insult Andrew Luck about his gimpy shoulder it would be viewed as a problem?  I don't get the hate by some fans here for RG3. To me Luck has shown to be the better QB and that is enough for me without having to mock Robert Griffin III over an injury. .

My thoughts exactly.

I really don't have a problem with what the OP Posted. It is something I wouldn't Post/Mock about RG3 but maybe he was sick of hearing how a lot of the media was saying RG3 would have a better career than Luck? So he was mocking it. When I was a member and Posted on ESPN in 2012 all season, I had RG3 fans private message me all the time just bashing Luck (wishing injury on him/saying we tanked for him, etc.) and saying how RG3 was way better because they knew I was a Colts fan. So I get the attempted humor eventhough I don't wish injury anyone.

A Good signing by Ravens. Even if it doesn't workout didn't cost much. I wish him well.

 

But, whoever thought with all the hype that Luck & RG3 got that Russell Wilson would be having the much better career? And then there's Cousins.

You just never know. 

:thinking:

Russell Wilson has only had the better career because he has a SB Ring (thanks to Lynch and his Defense COUGH COUGH). It's still early in the game though. Cousins has 0 Playoff wins so the verdict is still out on him. 2 best QB's of that Draft still remains Wilson and Luck. Wilson has never had a season like Luck has had in 2014. Luck threw for 40 TD's that season/4800 Yards basically and he won a lot too so those aren't garbage Stats. Colts went to the Final 4 and lost to the same team Seattle did in the SB. Wilson also had the biggest choke in SB history with that silly pass by media rankings.

After a while, it becomes silly. It is clear that Luck is better; so, why continue beating a dead horse?!

 

I hope he does well. I would also like to see Manziel get a shot somewhere.

I don't think Wilson has ever missed a game. If it wasn't for the worst playcall in SB history he would have 2 rings. He proved me wrong the last season or two. Wothout the dominate Defense and running game that he's had in previous seasons AND a OL maybe worst than ours he stepped up his game whem the team needed him. He's now showong he can carry the team.

 

Luck has missed like a year in a half in last 2 seasons and his availability AND durability is still in question going forward. When was the last time Luck has led his team to a winning season? 

 

Hopefully Luck will get healthy and stay healthy and return playing at a high level. But at this point its Wilson who's having the better career in that QB draft class.

I agree, I hope RG3 does well too but I understand why the OP Posted what he Posted. As a Colts fan I went through hell in 2012 with RG3 fan boys on a daily basis. I like RG3 actually, blame his goofy fan base to why some people Post what they Post.

As I posted above, I agree Wilson has had the better career due to having a Ring. I do think Luck is a clear 2nd as of now but if Luck gets healthy things could change. That play call in the SB is on 3 people IMO = OC, HC, and Wilson. Saying Wilson deserves no blame is wrong IMO. He could've audibled out of it, ran it himself, through an out route, etc.. Anyone at QB with a high IQ knows that pass he is about to throw called by Coaches would be super risky. So you audible out of it 9 times out of 10. JMO. Wilson deserves 33.3% of the blame for that play. If I would've been Lynch in that huddle, I would've told Wilson you are giving me the damn ball or I am walking off the field lmao.

I've always thought RG3 was a good quality player ruined by a serious injury, and impatient management.  Don't forget that he did get ROTY before going down with a bad ACL.  Because Washington had paid the world to get him, they rushed him back well before he was ready.  If they had just let him sit out the season ala Luck he could still be their starting QB.

Which is why the RG3 vs Luck debate around this fanbase is laughable to me for this reason. Now if Luck comes back and wins an SB then you have something if not Russell Wilson will be remembered as the one with the better career.

Foles won a SB too....in a very memorable fashion. Plus he had one year where I think he had the highest TD/INT ration of all time. He has put together quite the little career for himself. Luck has plenty of potential but he would be seen as the bigger bust if he doesn't win a SB because of the HYPE that he came in with. Smart as Peyton, mobility of Elway, Arm of Marino, size of Rothlisburger. If you built a qb in a test tube it was suppose to be him. I'm surprised Griffen fell off so quickly but just like Luck his injuries have hampered his career. Hopefully Luck's shoulder doesn't do the same to him. I've got no ill will to RGIII. It would be a nice comeback story if he gets the ship righted and latches on somewhere...even if not in Baltimore.

If Wilson would have thrown the ball low I don't think we're having this discussion today.  He could have made a better throw in my opinion.  I agree, though, he deserves at least part of the blame.
