RG3 talent is unprecedented in NFL history!

I think RG3's intelligence (and the Shanny's scheme and playcalling) plus his talent is behind his incredible efficiency and %'s. That might be unprecedented for a rookie.

I forget the exact order but I think my list of best rookie QB's before was as follows.

1. RG3
2. Dan Marino
3. Big Ben
4. Matt Ryan
5. Cam Newton

Now with Luck and Wilson playing as well as they have I don't know what to do, though I do feel confident bumping Newton off. And I think I can at least put Wilson above Ryan, the real question is should he go above Marino and Big Ben. Though I still say Luck should be below Ryan. F it I'll do it.

1. RG3
2. Wilson
3. Marino
4. Big Ben
5. Cam Newton
6. Matt Ryan
7. Andrew Luck

At the very least they're all in the top tier as far as rookie QB's are concerned.

Edit: Sorry Newton should be above Ryan at least. On second thought Newton could be as high as 2 or 3. Bottom line a lot of these are interchangeable though I still feel comfortable putting RG3 at number 1. The combination of yardage, efficiency, and team success is unparalleled.
