Aaron Rodgers = .657

Cam Newton = .304

RGIII = .375

Can’t imagine why he isn’t being compared to Rodgers.

You and all the people who gave you thumbs up are idiots! Dude is half way through his first season and people are bashing him cause he said he wanted to be compared to a great QB. That’s what all people want to compared to, greats!! Last I checked A. Rodgers wasn’t that great in his first year as a starter. Look it up. Learn football instead of guessing. HTTR!!!

i got an idea on how RG3 can be compared more to rodgers than newton…stop running for 10 first downs a game, stop running for 50 yard tds (i know).. and start tossin the ball for 300 yards and 4 tds a game lol.. u want comparisons to him, start playing more like him instead of the vicks, newtons, youngs..

terpfan and realtalk beat me to the punch, but the point is Griffin runs when it’s his best option.

Unfortunately that pins him into a “damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t” corner among critics. If instead of running, he tried to force the ball into triple coverage, his completion percentage would drop, and he would be criticized for not being a great passer. If he runs, instead of throwing a bad pass to a mediocre receiver who isn’t really open anyways, he’s a “running quarterback” and a “Vick 2.0″ bust who “can’t read defenses”. The fact is that when Griffin runs, it’s because it’s the smart play to make right there.

Eli scrambles for extra yards, Rodgers scrambles for extra yards, but the reason we don’t talk about them as running quarterback (any race issues aside), is because they aren’t Olympic-class sprinters like Griffin happens to be and therefore don’t pick up as many yards as he does.

Does anybody think, for a second, that if Marino, Brady, Peyton, or Favre (well maybe not Favre, he loved throwing into double coverage) had Griffin’s athleticism, they wouldn’t take off running just as much as he does? If you don’t, then you just don’t understand football or the quarterback position.

Here is the thing. Griffin shouldnt be compared to Newton, or anyone else. I think Griffin has something we have never seen before in the NFL. He is an accurate passer, and he can run for 100 every week. Not only that. When Griffin is no longer able to make explosive plays with his legs, he will be able to stand in the pocket and connect in the passing game.

If Griffin can keep getting better, and the ‘Skins build a team around him.. Look out. Washington will be a force in the near future.

Neither the Redskins or Colts did bad with thier first picks in that draft. Both QBs are performing well and both look like they will make it if they dont get hurt.

If A. Rodgers or any QB could run for a td, believe me they would do it. Its amazing that people talk about someones ability to run and pass as a negative. RG3 can do both, should he not run…does that make him less of a QB..really?!?!

Last point, PEOPLE THERE ARE WHITE QBs WHO COULD RUN AND PASS….why do we always compare black QBs to black QBs..just saying?!?! Ever heard of Steve Young???

It’s not slighting rodgers by RGIII saying that’s who he wants to be compared to at all. He’s just got big ambition

RGIII has the nack for always saying the right things.

Cam Newton’s ROY campaign is the most overrated season in sports history. He had like 11 turnovers in the 6 games they lost by one score. This year the team had 2 field goal attempts thru 7 weeks. 2!!! Its tough for that stat not to be a reflection of the QBs 3rd down inefficiency. He’s either taking sacks, fumbling, throwing picks, or going for home-runs. Coaching is also to blame for not attempting longer tries, but Newton ultimately should be responsible. Culpepper 2.0

Don’t worry, Robert. You will be humbled, and I hope that it’s this week.
