No. He's not. Matt Ryan would be a MVP winner right now more than anybody. Also, this is the one thing that bothered me about getting RGIII. Fans will overlook anything and put them on a pedestal. RGIII needs to work on that 3rd down QB rating before he can touch a MVP trophy. He's got a long way to go, but he's done a great job so far.

I would add that there are WR drops that can be attributed to poor 3rd down conversion as well as poor blocking on runs.

RGIII is that great. Just wait until the rest of the team catches up.

I for one don't think he has earned a MVP award, though he should be considered, and as far as that third down rating I want you to look at how many third downs he is trying to convert beyond 3rd and 5. That is where we are having problems, is getting a dumb penalty or having a bad run and getting stuck with 3rd and 9 or 3rd and 15. We shoot our selves in foot more often than not at times, and asking a guy to convert something that long on a consistent basis can be difficult.

What's wrong with putting RG3 on a pedestal. RG3!!! RG3!!! RG3!!! MVP!!!! Matty Ice will tank. He started an interception parade on Sunday. he throws balls up for grabs at times. Julio and Roddy compensate for him a lot. He won't have MVP numbers at the end of the season. Matty Ice is a receiver-made my man.

I think we should just be grateful for the type of player RG3 is. He is not Michael Vick, people make comparisons between Vick and RG3 now, but RG3 is a totally different talent, IMO.

We finally have a legit franchise QB, something we have not had since I don't know when. I don't really remember ever going into a season since Snyder owned the team where we were "set" at QB. I think RG3 is the best QB we have had easily in the "Snyder Era". Brad Johnson should have been kept for a while, Mark Brunell was a reliable stopgap solution, but Jason Campbell was never the answer and I think they held on with him for too long.

HTTR is what i'm getting at. At least with RG3 we know we have a chance in the game. The defense isn't going to win us any games, so all we got going for us is that RG3 can make the kind of plays he did Sunday, to win the game.

This is gonna be an exciting season. I believe that RG3 will finish in the top 5 for QB's this year.
