Who were the clowns that claimed RGIII isn't that good?
Seriously, I know there were a handful or so geniuses on here that didn't care for Robert's game.
I might trade our entire draft for the guy. |
I did, early last season.
Just going on game highlights. I figured he was a running QB. Then I was able to watch a few games. |
I think I questioned his size. That's it that I recall.

The guy has skills, all that is a concern is his durability

Russel Wilson is no slouch either, dude has some potential as well and is even smaller

Loved the guy. Would have traded what Washington traded in a heartbeat. Don't think I would have traded what it would have taken to outbid Washington.

that 76 yard run he had today where he just beat the entire Vikings defense in a footrace was hilarious

RG3 is insanely good. It's like watching CGI when he plays. It's hard to believe that a man can be that quick, both mentally and physically. He is Video Game Michael Vick in real life.
|
I liked RG when he played against KSU 2 years ago.
I wanted to have his baby after the TCU game last year. |

I did NOT want Tannehill, which may be a mistake in retrospect. |
that bowl game he played in last year was EPIC. The look on his face on that game winning drive was pure WIN. The man has it and will re-write the QB position. RG3 will make guys like Geno Smith richer than they ever could have been.
|
I liked Luck better, but loved RGIII. Now lets get some Geno!

In a related story, who is Miami's coach this year? What QB did that coach develop over the last several years? Was said coach a candidate for HC here, and if so was he not hired because he wanted to bring in a new QB? Intradasting. |

Tannehill is not doing as bad as I thought he was projected/expected to do. The guy has no talent around him besides Reggie Bush.
Tannehill is going to look a lot better next season when he has Dwayne Bowe in a Dolphins uniform to throw to. lol |

The Dolphins will go out and add a big time WR for him sooner than later. And I wouldnt be surprised if the the Dolphins are a big suitor for Bowe in the offseason. Also if Pioli is desperate to trade Bowe by the deadline, his buddy Jeff Ireland will surely make a deal right now I bet. |

I liked RG3, but had a bit of skepticism because I thought he had a tendency to over-throw the ball a lot...and I thought Kendall Wright bailed him out quite a few times on some crap throws. But I would have loved to have taken him....just wasn't 100% sold, honestly.
Still not sold on Tannehill and I don't care that the Chiefs made no effort to take him last year because I think there are many better prospects to choose from in this draft than him. |

He is good but he better get that run first mentality out of his mind or he won't last long in the NFL
|
I think people didn't like RG3 because he played in the Big 12 and they also assumed he was a running QB because of his race and ridiculous speed. These people didn't watch the games, are ignorant, and speak in generalizations. You could see he was different.
Much like Geno Smith, people still say stupid things like they don't want a running QB for the NFL. All the while not realizing he only ran for about 80 yards all last season. People think that his 500 yard games won't translate to the NFL because he is in the Big 12. Well yeah the yards are inflated because it's college and he puts the ball on the money so his guys get YAC. In the NFL it will be 300 instead of 450-500. Still really good. |
He's a new tool in the toolbox that has never been seen before. He was available and our Executive of the Decade couldn't or wouldn't find a way to land him in Kansas City. With that being said, I'm not sure that Uncle Festus Daboll would have known what to do with him
|
i would have trade literally anything to get him...
but that was too risky.. |

I loved RGIII and wanted him here bad. If he was our QB I would still worry about him getting injured. He's awesome, but one hit away from the end.
Sure thats the same as every QB but he puts himself in more positions to get hit. ( Before you say I am racist I used to say the same thing about Steve Young) |

I think that Shanahan or the OC is part of the problem.
It would be tough, though. You don't want to try to completely kill a QB's natural instinct and talent. He will learn. RG is pretty damn smart. |

Wilson is a monster.. period..
If I were KC. I would trade Matt Casshole and a 4th to the Seahawks for Matt Flynn |

Sorry but Tannehill is garbage. We'll all see very soon if not already. Luck, Griffin and Wilson will all 3 be elite starting caliber in the next 2-3 years. Instant contenders. |

Brees was a lil guy too. |
What I take from this years QB class is:
1) Don't get bent out of shape with the negatives in scouting reports. 2) Even if you "reach" for, or draft a guy with a lot of perceived flaws, you will still have a QB that is as good as, if not better than, Cassel/Quinn/Journeyman avg player. You aren't losing anything by taking a chance. 3) Build the system around the QB. Seattle, Washington, Indy, Cleveland (Minnesota for Ponder's second year) are all doing things differently. 4) Following up on (3) - you need a HC and OC who are adaptable. None of this "things should be modeled after New England" or Pitt or anywhere else. |

They were stupid enough to pay the man a truckload of money, draft a rookie and start him instead... Don't give Seattle that much credit. |
Cam Newton and Josh Freeman made big splashes in the league and aren't looking so good today. Even the class of the athlete/QBs, Vick, has still never won anything or turned into a great QB.
I'm not saying Griffin is not that good, but he is far from a proven commodity. We will see how he fares over the long term. Having a few productive games before teams develop a scheme for you doesn't prove a lot. |

Ok Skins, Jamaal Charles and Nate Hobgood- Chitik and a 6th and a 4th... Welcome to KC RG3! |

I was onboard early, but there was no way we had enough ammunition to get him without giving up our top picks for three years, or stripping the talent around him.

RG3 can get away with what he is doing now, but eventually he will have to turn into a pocket passer 1st, scrambler 2nd. Superbowls are still being won by pocket passing qb's. |
I was all favor of trading for the pick from rams for rg3. It wasn't just his ability I loved his maturity in interviews was impressive. I thought he was gonna be special really wish we had gotten him. Bummed we are stuck with cassel although as Winston said he really hasn't been given a chance lol.

Steve Young and John Elway moved well out of the pocket..

Never heard of Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young or Randall Cunningham? |

Edit: Zorn ran all over the place and was an outstanding QB, although I don't think his teams sniffed a Super Bowl. You probably meant besides these guys. |

I don't care that RGIII runs; it's that he doesn't seem to have good instinct for avoiding a hit. At least not now. When I watch him it seems like he's diving forward a lot, or off balance when defenders are there. His ribs and his side are exposed.
McNabb ran but he cut down on that a lot pretty early, and he bulked up. And he knew how to avoid big hits. Steve Young is maybe the closest running comparison, to me. And he lasted quite a while, so maybe RGIII wil too. |
