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'm not talking about last season. That would be a fair criticism. I'm talking about this current NFL season. There were literally people on here claiming that he isn't as good as he is, or something like that.

I disagree. All of my childhood heroes were black. Most guys on this board would probably say the same.
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. |

He rarely turns the ball over, is very accurate with his short and long passes. He is not a mike vick, there is no resemblance at all in his game. |

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

Race as in stereotype, yes. Racism not so much..from me anyway.
I think it is more of the old argument that Doug Campbell is the only black QB to win a SB and so on. The "numbers" show that a black QB will not have a SB winning successful career. We all know that will change as there are more and more black QBs getting chances.

Oh, yeah not me for sure. He's helped my fantasy team to 5-1.

I wouldn't have paid what DC paid (maybe in retrospect) but I loved RGIII I'd have gone 2 1st rounders and a 2nd for sure.

I think I questioned his size. That's it that I recall.
