Honestly, I don't even know how to go about ranking him due to his extraordinary skill set. How does his success at running the ball factor in to his ranking? He throws the ball less, for fewer YPG, than most NFL passers but he is a serious running threat as well as a passing threat.
1. How does he rank among current NFL QB's right now.
2. Where would you expect him to rank next season? Do you think he may suffer through a dreaded "Sophomore Slump"?
3. Do you think he will lead us to a Super Bowl win during his career?

I'd say that Robert Griffin III is far ahead of where Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, Ben Rothlesburger, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers were each in their rookie seasons.
As far as current QBs, RG3 has NFL rookie of the year award on lock down and if the Redskins push to the post season, he's definitely in discussion for NFL MVP. The only NFL QBs that are slightly ahead of him are Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, and maybe Aaron Rodgers. But RG3 can certainly overtake them before the season is over.
Next season RG3 should perform even better than he did this year if that's possible. A lot people lose sight of the fact that he'd be a senior had he stayed in college and next year he'd be a rookie. But next year his numbers are going to rise simply because each of his receivers will have grown greater in the offense. In 2013 we should see a lot more production if that's even possible.
I do see RG3 leading the Redskins to a Super Bowl title. And not just one, but maybe three or four. Keep in mind that Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan are far from building this team and making it complete.
