Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor - Page 9

FUNBUNCHER · 12-07-2011, 04:14 PM

That's a great comparison. Ward IMO could have played in the NFL and possibly been a first rounder. He had a long NBA career but I think he could have been decent as an NFL QB.

Brown Leader · 12-07-2011, 04:26 PM

No it's not. Current player comparison I'd say would be Josh Johnson.

FUNBUNCHER · 12-07-2011, 05:03 PM

Is the Pioneer League major college football??
I prefer the Charlie Ward drop.

As if he needed it, RG III is the Big XII Offensive POY.

That's the easiest award to determine.

He had some stiff competition this year: Tannehill, Weeden, Black mon.

He will be graduating with his MASTERS in the spring. He finished his bachelor's in 3 years and is working on a masters in communications (I think). He has said that he wanted to go to Baylor law school next year, but they would have to make a special exception for him because they don't offer a part-time law program and he couldn't do both. Apparently, he also wants to try to run hurdles in the Olympics next year. Having said that, I believe he will try his hand at the NFL, I'm really impressed every time I watch him play. Should be a top 15 pick

He was taking college courses while in HS, and grad courses as an undergrad.He is also planning on Law School and marriage. Very smart and well grounded, and athletic of course, but works like a no talent. GMs will salivate at his interviews.

The hardest part about evaluating RGIII is going to be getting past all of the "other stuff" and focusing on how his game translates to the NFL. He's graduating with his masters, plans to pursue a J.D., is an olympic-level hurdler, and happens to be a pretty good QB.

I mean, WTF? Who has a resume like that?

I don't think he should be a top-5 pick, but I think that a team will fall in love with him and make him a top-5 pick.

I think he deserves to be a top 5 pick, might just fall a bit outside of top 5 but I might take him as the second QB off the board at this point, I think Barkley is his only competition and he probably returns for another year to be the #1 QB next year (considering he could win a NC and he might even be the 3rd QB this year)

WinslowBodden · 12-10-2011, 11:49 AM

With the Colts Skins Browns and Dolphins all likely to be picking in the top ~10-15 area there is a good chance 4 QB go before the midway point of the first round it seems.

vidae · 12-10-2011, 11:56 AM

I hope to god the Chiefs trade up for a QB, as long as it isn't Landry Jones. I know boe hates RG3 but I'd be ecstatic if he was a Chief come April.

Make it happen Pioli!

How high would you be willing to trade up to get RGIII if you're the KC GM?

I'm not a Chiefs fans so I won't speak for them, but if I was a GM I would probably go as high as 4.

If you get the first pick you take Luck, 2 and 3 are probably not teams selecting a QB, I would say 4 is the next QB taken and in my mind RGIII is the #2 QB on the board so this may very well be where he goes

stephenson86 · 12-10-2011, 05:31 PM

With a passer rating of 192, even if he does play against weaker D's that is pretty damn impressive, will his bowl game count into the season rating?

vidae · 12-10-2011, 05:36 PM

I love RG3, but I think I'd still be more comfortable taking Barkley first, but if we took RG3 I wouldn't be upset at all.

And I'd move up to the top 5 for sure.

RaiderNation · 12-10-2011, 06:47 PM

If RG3 wins the Heisman tonight he will be a lock top 5 pick, if not I still think he goes top 10. His stock really depends on if Barkley stays(which I think he will).

how does winning an award influence his positioning at all???

vidae · 12-10-2011, 07:54 PM

RG3! RG3! RG3!

Add Heisman winner to the list of awards!

akvikefan89 · 12-10-2011, 07:55 PM

Way to go RGIII!

The magic is in the socks.

DraftSavant · 12-10-2011, 08:01 PM

Damn. Socks with a cape??
Put those in a drawer and lose them forever, playa.

Yea I gotta agree with PF here, A lot of heisman winners go on to suck in the NFL. I'm not disagreeing with you that he's a top 10 pick but not quite sure what the award has to do with his stock

I think him winning th Heisman will only help his stock and hype heading into April, just wait until he runs a 4.4, NFLN will be raving about him 24/7. I also think it could make Barkley stay in school since RG3 is a real challenger for the #2 QB position. Barkley will stay in school and likely battle with Wilson/Jones for the top QB spot next year.
