Re: Griffin shows his smarts

Robert Griffin III episode of QB camp will air at 9 p.m. ET on April 2 on ESPN btw. Also you might want to do your due diligence and watch the Luck on March 31st.

Re: Griffin shows his smarts

The guy looks the part, both physically and mentally. He was a better passer coming out of college than Newton or Vick. Can he get down the intracasies and nuances of playing QB in the NFL, like Steve Young did? That's the struggle with all QB's that are great athletes. Vick has finally done it. We'll see if RG3 can. No one will really know until he gets under center.

Re: Griffin shows his smarts

I think, at least I hope, when it's all said and done RG3 and Luck will be the "Magic and Bird" of the NFL.

Or the Gretzky and Lemeiux if you will

Major points for the parallel though.

Re: Griffin shows his smarts

Fun vid to watch! He's smart and pays attention, and more importantly he didn't bristle at Steve's "I'm smarter than you attitude."

We have to put pieces around this kid and (as importantly) protect him. Hope the oline rises well beyond expectations this season. If Trent Williams gets caught with dope again I hope we cut his dumb ass pronto i.e. I hope the regime has talked some sense to that kid!

Re: Griffin shows his smarts

Also another way to think of Luck. Luck is basically Cam Newton, that is if Cam Newton had started for 3 years in a pro style offense at the top level, never got in trouble, and graduated from a top educational institution. In short he's got all the raw physical talent of Newton with none of the red flags.

Yet another way to look at it...
Luck is basically Cam Newton except he's smaller, slower, lacks the arm strength, doesn't have as clean of a throwing motion/release, oh and didn't win the big game to keep his team undefeated and didn't lead his team to a national championship.

Luck is a very good athlete in his own right, but Cam is a specimen like I've never seen.
The kid threw a jump pass for 40+ yards in the air on the money, he's thrown off his back foot for 50 yard bombs.
Cam's arm talent is on a whole other level then Luck.

Maybe Cam wasn't the best comparison. Still it doesn't change the fact, Luck has been deemed by multiple talent evaluators to be the best QB prospect since John Elway.

Also I don't know why you would hold not winning a national championship against him considering how crooked the BCS system is. I mean consider that Vince Young, Tim Tebow, and Matt Leinart also won it.

Well Cam Newton had a better rookie year then Elway's rookie year. Cam threw for 4,0510 yards and scored an amazing 35 TD's in his rookie year and rushed 706 yards averaging 5.6 yards a carry. Those are insane rookie numbers, better then Elway's. I guess that would make Cam Newton a better pro prospect then Elway.?.? Kidding.
