		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I don&#039;t recall anyone arguing that. No one at all.  RGIII has a very strong arm and is a great athlete. I don&#039;t think either of those make RGIII a better QB than Andrew Luck. And RGIII having these great skills doesn&#039;t mean that Luck has a particularly weak arm, he has a very strong arm, and it doesn&#039;t mean that Luck is a poor athlete, Luck is an elite athlete. But none of that is much to the point of anything I was discussing, which was QB skills ..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[rabbdog, I have seen many games for both players and saw what I said. Only time I saw anything different from RGIII was on his pro day and dvdn then, with no pressure, he wasn&#039;t  early ad accurate as Luck is in ames. I am not the only one to have made these observations. You need to look at more than completion percentage. Yes he is a world class sprinter; that&#039;s a good thing but how does that translate into being a better QB?  If you are going to rely on stats, look at sacks ... RGIII was sacked 2-3 times as many times as Luck per season.  That, I assume, was due at least in part to their O-lines so I don&#039;t raise that as a knock on RGIII, I raise it to show that stats don&#039;t tell the whole story.  This quick release stuff is plain silly ... He&#039;s fine, but doesn&#039;t have nearly the efficiency in his motion as Luck and isn&#039;t as quick or as good a decision maker as Luck. Enough of this ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RGIII is an elite athlete and a great college football player, but please praise him for the attributes he actually has. To say he has a quicker release or is more polished than Luck just shows you don&#039;t know hat you are talking about. You can say he has a quick release in general, perhaps, but not better than Luck. Saying he is polished doesn&#039;t even stand on its own. If you need to tout RGIII, you can say he has a stronger arm than Luck or is a faster runner (though Luck also has a strong arm and is fast for a QB).  These guys are both great and neither is perfect ... but making claims about RGIII that aren&#039;t credible just makes you both look bad.]]></description>

For Little Earthquake, Shanahan needs a great qb to run his system. Brian Griese and Jake Plummer were not good enough. RG3 is the guy Shanahan needs.

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure what you mean. Luck certainly does sometimes loft the ball to open receivers, but his receivers were rarely open. He usually is throwing balls into double coverage and gets it into tight windows, sometimes like a bullet.

		<description><![CDATA[Babyhorsemorgan, you must have been high on something when you wrote that post! Blaine Gabbert had 48 TDs (40 passing, 8 rushing) and 18 INTs (3 years, 31 games) by the time he declared last year. As of that time, RG3 had 65 TDs (42 passing, 23 running) and just 11 INTs (3 years, 28 games). In short, RG3 had more TDs and 7 less INTs in 3 less games than your BG.
Second, RG3 never felt intimidated (just as Luck) to go to a struggling program and turning it around. The situation is different than going to an established program. At the established program, you are surrounded by superior talent. That should make what RG3 and Luck look  even more spectacular. They didn&#039;t have the 4 and 5 star WRs and RBs.
Third, everyone who knows football knows that Jax reached for BG. He was a second round talent at best, and I always knew that he would be a bust. Go back and watch the Mizzou games. While he has the arm strength that makes scouts and GMs swoon, his decision making was poor, his foot work was atrocious and he only cracked 60% completion rate once (in his final season). These shortcomings were talked about but last year class of QBs was mediocre, so teams had to reach.
Look, everyone&#039;s not going to like every QB, but please don&#039;t make up facts. You are online, read about these QBs and their grades before writing some bullsh!t.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gabbert and Griffin are the same age, came to Big 12 same year. When Blaine left, he had more wins, passing yardage, Td passes, over the same time period, in fewer games started. Prior to last year&#039;s draft, Gabbert rated by NFL advisory as a first round pick. Griffin rated as a late round pick.

So, Gabbert came out, Gruesome had to go back for another year of pitch and catch with Kendall Wright. Since then BG has 14 NFL starts. RG had about the same Big 12 starts. If Gabbert was rated higher a year ago, WHAT HAS CHANGED?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then you obviously don&#039;t know what you are talking about. No one who knows anything has ever said Luck has a weak arm ... The worst that has been said by experts who have seen him is that RGIII has a stronger arm. And that Luck&#039;s arm is as strong as or stronger than Manning&#039;s.  Really, how bad can that be?]]></description>

these analysts are sooooooo scared to criticize rg3 because they will be called a racist by jesse jackson or al sharpton, what a bunch of cowards. everybody knows that luck is hands on the best prospect in the draft. these suckup analyst cowards are too afraid to say the facts and will keep talking up rg3 as the greatest thing ever, just like they did about vince young and michael vick and jamarcus russell etc.
----------------

Merrill Hoge was the strongest voice against drafting Vince Young - going so far as to state that whoever drafted him would be out of a job within 3 years.

This has nothing to do with race -- and I personally cannot stand when the race card is thrown out in any fashion or form.  Hoge went in to evaluate one QB vs. another first and foremost, and he gave his opinion on it - skin color meant nothing.  Cosell is saying the same thing.  

Only the people who want to make an issue of skin color are making it so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I only saw Luck play in two games since Stanford doesn&#039;t get on TV much around the midwest.

Once he was very accurate but he had a great O line and he was able to stand back and toss the ball effectively.

The other game he was under the same constant pressure he will see in the NFL and he wasn&#039;t all that great.

I say RG3 play in two games as well and he was an amazing athlete. Passes were accurate and his running was as good as any back in the NFL.

If the Colts pick Luck and he fails big time, they won&#039;t be able to give away tickets to the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually case not closed.  JaMarcus Russell&#039;s problems were not that he didn&#039;t have the &quot;ability&quot;, he lacked discipline.  Coselle&#039;s judgements are based on what he sees from watching all of a players college footage.

First, when Russell was with the Raiders he missed practice frequently.  Second, he became out of shape going from 250lbs to about 300lbs in 3yrs.  Third, he had some drug issues.

So Coselle is giving an honest assessment, but the one thing he can&#039;t assess is wether a player will be able to adjust to the rigors of the professional level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are bringing up Russell not because he is also black but because it&#039;s a good example of Cossell&#039;s work. It is fair to use prior critiques by Cossell.  And Cam Newton I&#039;m sorry but having 5 amazin unreal games does not make you the best rook qb ever. I&#039;m gonna use Culpepper here not because he is also black but because they are really th same player besides Cam having better training and being better built due to the training advances since pepper was a rook. Cam will be a fine qb and like every other team with a great d will make some noise but he is no manning. My bet is he never throws as many td&#039;s as pepper. Pepper was a better qb than cam.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whichever teams land both of these guys is going to be vastly improved, but head to head, Luck is the superior all around QB due to his mastery of the mental aspects of the game. Not that RG3 hasn&#039;t, but QB is not all about arm strength and running out of the pocket. Mike Vick is a superior athletic talent to most in the game today, but he has not mastered the game nor has he become disciplined or cerebral, two aspects that take you from good to HoF and SB. Montana&#039;s arm strength wasn&#039;t remarkable, yet he was a scholar of the game. Who can remember the names of the dozens of undistinguished QBs throughout history? Ryan Leif was a talented guy who had none of Luck&#039;s intangibles.]]></description>

Greg Cosell, 2007:
 

“Oh, man, can [he] flick it. Like Elway, he has the ability to see and make downfield throws 50 yards when he’s on the move. If you think [he] is one of those special quarterbacks — and in the NFL right now, there’s Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Carson Palmer— you have to take him. I don’t know how the Raiders have him evaluated. But I can tell you watching him on film, he wowed me. This kid is a special passer, and he’s got a complete inventory of throws. He’s got that football intuition. He throws from different platforms, doesn’t always have to be perfectly and can move within the boxing-ring space of the pocket to find the quiet area.”
 
“He” = JaMarcus Russell.

----------------------------------------------------------

OH here we go with the JaMarcus Russell comparisons AGAIN! After reading Cossell&#039;s analysts - he basically does what any and every and every anaylsts draft pundit does.

When it came to JaMarcus Russell&#039;s ability, he was rated through the rough - however his work ethic, work habits were always in question.

To put RG3 in that same category, is just as blind as stupid as a majority of you were doing last year with Cam Newton. Cam and RG3 are hearing the comparisons and laughing and thanking ignorant buffons who are comparing them to JaMarcus Russell, for the extra motivation!]]></description>
