He didn't have a problem beating the Cowboys in the biggest game of the year.

if you throw more you throw more picks?

Then how come russell had more tds?

He had Marshawn Lynch. He'll come back to earth this yr.

Will he not have lynch this year?

Teams gonna play that pass more and just let Lynch do him. No more focusing on stopping the run more than the pass. And Lynch is due to get banged up.

Seahawks have a legit defense and aren't too different from the Redskins offensively. They're going to have another good year.

he had three more with the third highest rusher in the league in his backfield. Let's not pretend like both team are asking their QBs to do different things either b

Edit: fukk, that reminds me, take one of those TDs away from Russ, he should have 26. Replacement refs gifted him one that cost me $50

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Provided the o-line doesn't get him murdered, which is likely, Luck's about to go off this year.

Wilson is an upscale game manager. If they are down 14......game over

 

[RudySpanish]

RGIII made Alfred Morris. You really think a fukkin 6th round pick could run for 1600 yards without the RGIII option threat?

the rankings go: RGIII = Kaep > Russ > Cam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Luck

this is about 2nd yr QB's so i guess u throwing Cam's 2nd yr in the bushes and starting ova

Wilson is the black Brad Johnson

 

[Street Knowledge]

RG3 has a higher TD%, Much lower Interception%, and has a higher YPA while being much more accurate.

I don't see Lucks argument unless we bring up pre draft hype and that he threw more yards

Or people who want to bring up stuff unrelated to football.

Luck without question

Calls a better game as a QB, isn't going back & forth in the media with his coach, doesn't appear to have Diva characteristics and is mobile when need be. I think he's on the verge of being a top 10 QB by the end of this yr.


RG3 read option single reads ain't gon work forever brehs

A "Healthy RG3" is a oxymoron at this point.

But he can shuck and jive with the best of them Keep Tap Dancin for Massa Robert

That boy Luck got all the intangibles RG3 lacks, so he's the clear winner

And for the people saying RG3 is injury prone, he only didn't start in one game in the regular season. So he was in 15 out of 16 games.

You're a Redskins fan so I know you're incapable of having an unbiased opinion on RG3. What I will say is that Luck had more TDs, more yards and is asked to do more in his offense than RG3 is. The Shanahan's didn't ask RG3 to make alot of progressions or reads. Play action, zone read, safe easy stuff. MMQB from Sports Illustrated explains it even better:

Here’s what we know about RG3: he’s fast, agile and has a lively arm with a quick, compact release. People respect his character and like his personality. If healthy, he can be be one of the most dynamic threats the league has ever seen.

What we don’t know is whether or not Griffin can consistently operate as a drop-back passer in a traditional NFL offense. If he can’t master downfield reads from the pocket, he’ll never be more than a likable version of Michael Vick, assuming the knee injury hasn’t already affected his athleticism.

Last season the Redskins used play-action on 42% of their pass plays, by far the highest rate in the NFL since Football Outsiders started tracking the stat in 2005. Here’s the thing about play-action: While it’s used to freeze defenses, it’s also used to simplify the offense for the quarterback. After faking the handoff, the QB typically has an either-or decision to make. The read could be to throw to the designed target or run the ball; it could be to throw to the designated target or check-down to another predetermined receiver. Play-action is cut and dried, often with no progressions in between. It can be very effective—but also very limiting. Which is why teams with great quarterbacks use it judiciously, not predominantly.

This isn’t to say Griffin can’t execute a traditional progression-read passing attack. We just don’t know yet. Even when he dropped back without faking a handoff last year, the majority of those reads were either-or, which explains why he tucked the ball and scrambled so often. This was simply good coaching by offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who put the rookie in the best position to succeed.

Colts leaned on Luck and ask him to do more at the line, with his progressions, pre snap, etc. Plus Luck is more durable & drama free. I'd take Luck with no question
