Lets take a vote

[S-Dubb]

I think he's going to be something better then Vick or Newton.

Picture this. A scrambling QB with 4.4 speed with pin point accuracy. Vick is nice but he's always been an awful passer, Newton has showed some flashes but I don't think he possesses the accuracy RG3 has.

He might come in and revolutionize the position. Like something out of a video game. He just might.

[A1elbow]

He won't be Vick, because he is more accurate and has character.

He won't be Newton because he is going to because we don't know what Newton is.

He won't be Young because he has character.

He won't be Smith cause Smith was washed up fast, etc, etc.

If he goes to the Brown's I can assume he won't do shit.

[Jetsfan0099]

I like RG3, think he'll be good.

[SecondHandJets]

I think he'll be what Kordell Stewart was suppose to be. A guy that can throw the shit out of the ball and has the speed to get the corner.

[Jetsman05]

Meh.

Who will break it open??


I agree with the meh comment

[S-Dubb]

I don't know. I get a good feeling about this guy. I think he's going to be special.

[Jetsman05]

Can't stand these Vick and Newton comparisons. Racial comparisons are always so stupidily easy to make.

Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. They exist. Everyone thinks it, everyone acts accordingly. You don't find to many whiteboys that run 4.4's and play QB, just like you don't see many black pocket passers. The stereotypes exist and they will never go away. With time? sure... but not now.

So yes the Randall Cunningham's, Micheal Vicks and Cam Newtons are thought of differently. It's common knowledge. Black people will look to him as some sort of "savior" just so we can shed the stigma of what exists in the modern game about African Americans and the QB position.

With that said. Rg3 could revolutionize the position. Why? because he does possess 4.4 40 speed but one thing we haven't seen yet is a dynamic athletic QB master the fine art of "pocket passing" and "elusive scramble ability".

I guess Aaron Rodgers is close.

[Jetsman05]

I get that these comparisons 'will exist' but they're wrong.

It's because 3/4 of the people comparing him to Mike Vick or Cam Newton have never seen Griffin play.

He's nothing like those guys. Speed wise, yeah sure he's comparable to Vick. That's where it ends though.

And he's nothing like Newton.

To mention Aaron Rodgers and not Steve Young is silly talk. RG3 has more Steve Young in him than any QB I can come up with, IMO.

[A1elbow]

I tried to find the quote I like where Jim Brown is asked about Doug WIlliams winning the SB with the Redskins, what it means to have a black QB win one and he says Williams didn't do it for black people, he did it to get a paycheck. Anyway, I couldn't find it.

What'll be nice is when black QBs aren't the one who might make it because they run a faster 40 time than the last guy that came out.

What amazes me is that you hear more about the progress of black coaches. People should start looking into why teams High Schools never see a black kid that isn't that fast and try him out at QB, or why the ones that do don't move up into college. I don't believe that there aren't some black kids out there that couldn't play the position if they weren't stuck in the lineup as backup safties just because they didn't run a 4.5 forty.

+ meh

RG3 > Andrew Luck

If both have healthy careers, RG3 will prove he is better.

Surely Donovan McNabb in his prime came close to that?

Yeah, I definitely think he did. He was a really great pocket passer. If Freeman rebounds this year I think he too has the potential to be a good pocket passer.
