For me, I dislike uber athletic QB's. They rely too much on their natural ability. This usually means they don't operate the offense the way it's meant to be played and will never reach their full potential as a QB. I like pocket passers. Because they are more dangerous than Vick, Newton or possibly RGIII could ever be.

Look at the arc of Vick's career, minus the prison time. HOT, not so much, and may have been gone even without his prison stretch, then he decides to actually learn the QB position, and does very well. Then, back to playing his game and he basically sucks again.

Newton was hot his rookie year, and lukewarm this year. RGIII could be just the same, so could Geno.

It's not my fault incredibly athletic QB's happen to be black.

RG3s closest comparison is probably Steve Young, not Michael Vick.

I really wish people would stop bringing up Vick when talking about the new era black QBs.

Hes a serious talent, and has mad game right now while he's young......I do worry what he will be like in 3, 4, 5 years down the road. He's awfully skinny.

I think he reminds me most of Randall Cunningham. More accomplished passer though at this point in their careers.

I didn't want to give up a whole draft because I knew we could get Tannehill for a lot less.

Tannehill isn't a franchise QB

I am so pissed we missed out on RGIII. We weren't getting Luck most likely, we could have easily lost enough games to get RGIII.

I don't know how people are trying to downplay RG3's running. He leads the league in QB rushing. They run a ****ing read option. The guy is a lot closer to Vick than people want to admit. He's just a better passer.

RGIII

Was ranked 5th in QB rating with a 101 before today's game in which he had a 140 rating.

He's 6th in completion percentage at 67.1. Only 3 picks this year.

These are not the statistics of a running QB.

I think he's a great passing QB with great accuracy, intelligence and pocket presence who can also run better than a lot of running backs.

Has Vick ever been 16th?

And he should only get better, which is why the comparison to Vick is moronic.

Not sure, but his career percentage is only 56.3.

That would suggest a loud and hardy **** no.

Steve young is the qb that comes to mind when I watch him. His ability to make a great throw while getting hit is unreal.

He's going to be great whether you can accept that or not. There is really no flaw to his game. He's the type that can put a team on his back and take them where they want to go.
