Robert Griffin III: I'm the best in everything I've done

He plays in an offense conducive to inflating completion percentage, I guarantee he doesn’t measure in at 6’2, 220 lbs, and he deserves to be in the same sentence as Ryan Leaf because…


… people are stupid enough to think he could or should be picked ahead of Andrew Luck.

No one from a Briles, Sumlin, Holgorsen, or Leach offense should be considered as highly as Griffin is right now. He is not the 2nd best QB in this draft, he is not a future star in the NFL, and he is nowhere near as good a QB prospect as his wildly-inflated college stats seem to have the dumber scouts believing.

You have a right to your opinion. No facts to support any of these claims but you have a right to say it.

If you acturally did any research on how any offense can boost a quarterbacks stats it starts with high % throws. And based off of what acturally happened in games Luck had more wide open recievers than anyone i can remember.

RG3 did have alot of quick reciever screens that you will often see in a spread offense. But again this goes back to the part of doing research. And you will see alot of throws with a high degree of difficulty. Down the field throws with very good ball placement.

Luck has a really good chance of having major growing pains because of his responds to pressure. He will reciever alot more than he did at Stanford. And he played poorly when he was pressured. Plus put him in a Colt offense with no run game and question marks in the reciever positions and a defense that is built for playing with leads it won’t have….this equals Luck playing in tons of known passing situations verse almost 3 times as much pressure than he has faced in his football life… and i am sure NFL football minds see this too. RG3 dealt with tons more pressure than Luck did. And it was by a very large margin. RG3’s pass protection looked like he had 4 linemen at times giving up 79 career sacks.. where as Luck got sacked 23 times in his career. Heck Cam Newton was sacked 23times along at his one year a Auburn. Training wheels come off in the NFL and he won’t have that type of time with Indy. RG3’s skill sets lend for him to carry a team with less talent because he can make offense where there is none.

The NFL really started to fear the spread offensive system because of Andre Ware and David Klingler. Both of them ding and dunked their way into massive numbers and didn’t register many NFL throws.

Robert Griffin by far has more “wow” throws that Andrew Luck. And i mean “wow throws” in the sense that you can see he can project the football at all levels of the football field dropping the ball 45 yards down field on a reciever with a defender all over them as if it was a hand off. This translates into the NFL because it is special accuracy.. short middle and long.

You can’t dismiss a players production because their coach hadn’t had great quarterbacks before. This isn’t a video game where a coach grooms a 99 quarterback every year.

Truth is RG3 isn’t hyped up, this is Andrew Luck who has been hyped more than any player in history. The fact that some fans expect the NFL draft process to stop and just award Luck the Heisman and the first pick in the draft and whatever else is just silly. Luck is pretty good but he isn’t this future hall of famer. He may not even be the best quarterback in this draft.

Stats don’t tell the entire story. But when a quarterback stats are accross the board better than you have to evaluate that play by play and if you do you see it isn’t because of a stat inflating offense. It is because RG3 is really good and is making high degree of difficulty throws. You don’t have more TD than incompletions 4 games into a season on any level of football and thats sololy because of the system. You can’t do that in the back yard with your brother for 4 days without that being a sign that there is some really good throws happening and good decision making happening. RG3 has better Career stats as well not just 2011 season stats 111 career TD verse 89 career TD from luck….

I myself think Luck will likely get picked first. But this idea that Luck is without question the number 1 pick isn’t accurate. Because the NFL is still evaluating and it isn’t token evaluations either.

.. and by the way who would be a better quarterback than RG3 besides maybe Luck?
