Wow there is someone else in the draft besides RG3!
I would have swore by the only one we read about or see on the NFL channel that there was only one person in the draft this year and now I find out that there are more, that is great.

If the Colts draft Luck and he’s a bust, nobody will shred them for the choice they made, even if RGIII is spectacular. All indications were that Luck was a great choice.

If the Colts draft RGIII and he’s a bust, the Colts will be shredded mercilessly for having chosen him.

The Colts have no choice but to take Luck.

How many of you have seen Griffin or Luck play an entire game?

Case closed.

I remember when Darko Milicic was coming out in the 2003 NBA draft. His hype guys said he was better than Lebron and Carmelo.

Trust your scouts, and don’t believe the noise coming from one players camp to the other.

I recall the Colts being in this position 15 years ago. They chose to draft the more finished prospect over the guy who came on late and was supposed to have the higher ceiling. That worked out pretty well for them. I wouldnt expect them of all teams to deviate from that mentality

RG3 is a bust his size 6-2 220 isn’t ready for the NFL another thing he takes one step drop in an option QB offense now the NFL is a 3 strep drop and he will easily get fooled by pressure and force something or fumbles.He is not smart on his throws forces it in double coverage or get fooled by corners plans.Lacks reading defenses.He also runs more than he throws.And with easy college teams he played this year most of the touchdowns were 5th to 6th round picks covering the WR.He is a fake get over it Redskins fans

Eh, not the same as when Manning when to Polian and Mora’s office and told them “if you don’t take me, I’m gonna kick your ass the next 15 years”.

True.. but in hindsight. Nobody knew about it WHEN he said it.

If Whitfield was worth anything, he’d be coaching in the league.

RG3 is better than Luck. Just watch the tape. I hope the Colts do.

Everyone knows the Colts are drafting Luck, so why is article on here? We get to compare 2 great college qb’s who have not taken an NFL snap yet. Seriously? The only thing that can come from this is more speculation, just like last year when Gabbert proclaimed himself the best in the draft and Cam was the next Jamarcus Russell and the writers were all wrong. Every year they create nonsense and watch us argue about silly things. It is not enough to be a good quarterback going to the NFL, you will need a good team around you too so lets wait and see how they help these 2 great qb’s because the truth is we do not know until we see them play.

Luck had such a better overall consistent career than rg3 it’s not even funny. And if people think its close between the two they are fooling themselves. And I don’t want to hear about the blain grabbert cam newton thing. They’ve both only had one year in the nfl. Let’s see how cam does note that there is a years worth of nfl tape on him.

I guess every ignore the facts and just go by the look of things. Luck does look the part with size etc. The Heisman trophy winner has just played the part. We will see soon enough but for my money I like RGIII!

Didn’t the “powers that be” at the last minute grade Blaine Gabbert a better QB than Cam Newton due to his photographic memory last season?? Cam had the superior athletic ability but was graded down in comparison coming from a spread offense (just like Gabbert) however his mental faculties of total recall made him better prepared to run a pro offense?? Sounds like another “redneck” spin-job to me. Keep saying the same old drool to justify your inability to get past skin tone ! Anything that allows oneself not to address the player with the better skill set. This is the NFL and an athletic sport NOT professional checkers. Next year the comparisons will come down to the same thing with two similar athletes. BTW, both the Colts & Skins will have a suspect offensive line so the bottom line here is “escapability” to avoid the rush. Hmmmmm….who has the superior skill set for that ????

a few things to ponder…..When you have the great fortune of selecting 1st in the draft, that means YOU SUCK as a team

Does it? Or does it mean that you had really bad qb play? Colts went from a playoff team to nothing without Peyton. Skins have only made the playoffs once in quite a while. Why? Because the quarterback play has been atrocious!

For the idiots bring race into this thread … seriously get a life.
This thread is about top 2 QBs in the draft (according to the experts) … one is a drop back passer and the other is scrambler and if you know yours facts when was the last time a scambling QB won the SB.

His numbers are not as good as Colt McCoy coming out of college in the same conference. That rarely transfers to the NFL. You should do some research yourself STUPID

Luck looks like a dork and kind of talks like one too. RG3 looks like an athlete and sound smoother when he speaks.

I can say that because Luck is the white guy. If it were reversed, that would make me a racist.

“I’m not saying RGIII is going to be Leaf, but I think Luck might be Manning. Which ain’t so bad”

Luck could also turn out to be Leaf. Nobody has seemed to consider that one.

@diablito0402
If you knew anything at all about Robert Griffin you would know that he is nowhere near a “rb who can throw”. If anything he is a passing quarterback who has the ability to run when the play breaks down. He is actually a very good passer who’s accurate with a strong arm. Don’t assume, and I think I know exactly why you are, that he’s just another dual threat QB because he isn’t. Do some research before you say something so stupid.

I respect George Whitfield as a QB guru, but he comes off as a sycophant!!!

These to young men are so close stat wise for their collegiate careers it’s unreal……the 2 major differences are the conferences they played in….and the systems they played in…..Playing the the Pac 10 and Stanford gives Luck the advantag of having superior talent around him from day one ( his RB FR year was Toby Gerhardt)….

Playing in the Big 12 and Baylor leaves Griffin at a disadvantage as far as talent around him but it evens out regarding competition as the Big 12 was a far better conference than the Pac 12 during his career….

Either one of theses young men can be great players…..but I must add that coaching will play a HUGE part in their developement….If the Colts or Redskins force either of these guys into a positions they are not ready for they will not sign their secon contract with the same team….

If you know football you know they were both great players in college. The question is which will transpose the best to the NFL and it’s really not a question. Luck is the man if your color blind. If not, well thats what these posts are for.

“I want a quarterback on my team, again, not a running back who can throw the ball, look at history, it will never work!!!!

Diablitoo……., a few things to ponder…..When you have the great fortune of selecting 1st in the draft, that means YOU SUCK as a team. In other words, you have a whole lot of holes to fill to make yourself a competitive team…….Now as for your above statement, if the colts select Luck #1, I recommend to him that he learns how to be come a running back because a whole lot of his “running” will be out of necessity….His O-line sucks……..

Since life is so unpredictable, I bet some QB taken in the second or third round will be better than either of these guys.

Luck has had great protection his whole life. Even in college he’s played behind two NFL first rounders. He’s never had to face the kind of pass rush he’s going to see in the NFL. The few times he’s seen pressure, he’s choked big time. Everybody says he’s safe and a sure thing once a generation. I see a big time bust, unless you think Alex Smith isn’t a bust.
