Compare them as QBs as much as you want then realize that RG3 is 20th in the league in rushing yards with 6 td’s, just behind McCoy and just in front of Turner.

Yes, that means RG3 is the best OFFENSIVE rookie.

Peyton Manning or Adrian Peterson is the Come back player of the year.

Tom Brady is the MVP.

Manning’s 30td-10int 68.3%completions 3812 yards
Brady’s 29td-4int 64.4% completions 3833 yards
lucks 18td-18int 54.9% completions 3792 yards

Matt ryan , Aaron rodgers, Andy dalton and drew brees all have better stats than luck. OROY isn’t even a certain for luck vs RG3 and wilson.

Most Valuable Neck Beard

a) Both RG3, Luck, Russell Wilson, AND even Ryan Tannehill have had solid to great rookie seasons.

b) No way is Luck MVP. No way. I love his potential, but if you want to use valuable as the key factor, and not who is best, I would argue that Tom Brady is easily the most valuable player. We’ve seen OC’s come and go there, and the offense keeps humming. Sure, McDaniels has made some changes this time around, but look at the personnel around Tom. A slot receiver, and inconsistent deep receiver, 2 amazing TE’s that have both been banged up this year. The OL might actually be a bit under-rated, but you put Ryan Mallett in there, and I’m not at all confident the Patriots are anywhere near that good.

I admittedly haven’t seen enough of Russell Wilson or Ryan Tannehill to venture into discussions on their rookie season. But on this notion that RG3′s season has been easily better, I would challenge that.

a) Luck is running a much tougher offense on the QB. This is no knock on Arians schemes, but we somehow have gotten to the stage where we think a spread offense is easy on the QB. The Shanahan’s have done a fabulous job of scheming, limiting the reads. As the season has progressed, they’ve gotten a bit more complex. From the get-go, Luck has been thrown the book and told to run a fairly complicated passing attack.

b) RG3′s supporting cast is far better than Luck’s. The Colts have a weak run game. Vick Ballard and Donald Brown are both under 4 ypc. A QB’s best friend is still a strong run game, and while part of that may be attributed to the design of Arians offense, they simply don’t have that much talent there at RB. Alfred Morris has proven to be a stud workhorse, and Evan Royster is a solid backup.

The Redskins OL is better. Trent Williams has been an absolute beast this year. I would even argue that the Redskins receivers are a touch better, but that’s a bit more debatable. At the very least, with a healthy Pierre Garcon, the receivers are close. TY Hilton and Donnie Avery fit what Arians wants at receiver, but I don’t buy that they are necessarily better than Santana, Josh Morgan, and Leonard Hankerson. The Colts do have two excellent young TE’s.

_______

This isn’t meant to bash RG3 or overly praise Luck. He has thrown his fair share of interceptions. That said, having watched both this year, I’m just not sure why some of the above comments suggest that RG3 has had a much better year. Based on the total package of responsibility and performance, I would tend to lean to Luck as having had the better rookie season, but at the very least, it’s close.

AD = MVP…..if the Vikes make the playoffs, otherwise its Peyton Manning

if anyone should be named MVP of the Colts it should be Coach Arians or the schedule makers for giving them such a cupcake schedule.

Not a chance…Luck isn’t even a top 5 QB this year – I’d take Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Griffin and Wilsons year(s) ahead of Luck…he’s an interception machine – the only reason he’s had do many comebacks is he is constantly digging holes for his team

He ultimately may well end up better than Griffin or Wildon down the road – but he is a step behind both at this stage

Put Griffin under center for the Colts, he would be killed. Luck doing a lot more with a lot less of a team.

But then again, he is from Stanford, and Stanford guys are always right ……….right?

There’s an old saying …..rookies should be seen and not heard!

It’s kind of hard to disagree I mean look how much they sucked last year. If not the MVP at least the rookie MVP.
Griffin, as great as he is, has a better team (or at least that’s what we thought) and is running a very college style offense.
Not only that but Luck is more advanced when it comes to reading coverage.

Also throw in that Griffin apparently isn’t an authentic black and it’s obvious that Luck is the winner because he’s authentically white.

I disagree with every one of your football related points (if he’s so much better at reading coverage, how come he leads the league in interceptions, while Griffin has the least of all starting quarterbacks?), but your last line cracked me up so bad I had no choice but to give you a thumbs up.
