RGIII Will Never Be Conventional Quarterback: ?That?s Not How He?s Built? « CBS DC

KC Joyner:

"Griffin may have been the best downfield passer in the NFL last year. His 15.1 vertical yards per attempt (VYPA, a measure of productivity on passes thrown 11 or more yards downfield) ranked first in the league and his 16.4 stretch vertical YPA (SVYPA, a productivity gauge for aerials thrown 20 or more yards) ranked second. His 826 rushing yards were tops among quarterbacks and placed 20th among all ball carriers. Griffin also posted an amazingly low 1.2 percent bad decision rate (BDR, which measures how often a quarterback makes a mental error that leads to a turnover opportunity for the defense), which would be impressive for any passer but is doubly so for a rookie quarterback. All of this adds up to top-five caliber fantasy quarterback potential."

Very interesting and telling numbers. Critics like to point out just the opposite. Doesn't throw the ball enough....doesn't throw down field......chucks the ball only ten yards or less. Maybe his critics should get a hold of these stats. To say he's a run first QB with no pocket awareness or unable to read defenses is ridiculous. I only hope that he remain healthy throughout his career to watch him develop hopefully into one of the games best.

He does everything well. And was way more efficient than any rookie had a right to be.

I wonder where he would rank as far as rookie seasons are concerned. Not just among QBs but over all rookie seasons.

 

[Warpath]

He'd rank pretty high considering the rookie records he broke. But that would be a cool show to see on nfl network.

RG3 took the majority of the walk through snaps today and is expected to start doing 11-11 drills as early as tomorrow.

This can't be right. According to every rival fan that comes here, he is a running QB first. There must be an error in the calculations or some people have it all wrong..........

Exactly! We shouldn't even have been talking about ROY last season. All the talk should have been about POY however, apparently a rookie QB can't even be mentioned in that kind of talk. The guy out played everyone in the league not named ALL DAY!

Yup, re-establishing what he had already said weeks ago. Also said that without a setback, be expects that RG3 will be ready for the opener.

I believe the "he gave me his word" regarding Shanahan, means that he has promised RG that he will start against Philly. Shanahan better not be making these types of promises. If he feels RG3 aint ready then he needs to sit out. KC looks like he has great command of this offense. Saying that I realize RG3 gives us the best chance to win any game. Dude is just that special. Fingers crossed for no setbacks.

RG3 at 90%

Rex Grossman estimates Robert Griffin III is at 90 percent

according to RG1

 

[Warpath]

Griffin had a great day in his 2nd day of 11 on 11

I hope this kid stays healthy. I've always been a big fan!

Go read the "RG3 needs to STFU" thread on the main NFL board. Too funny. Some Seahawks fan is going out of his way to rag on RG3. What is up with all these Seahawks fans who have a constant need to rail against RG3?

Little brother syndrome. They want Wilson to be as good as RG3, desperately.

I know. Seattle fans make it difficult to want to wish him well.

Just saw an article that included a tweet from Howard Erskin (never heard of this guy) Saying Dr Andrews recommended RG3 not play until after the bye week. Second tweet that Shanahan would ignore the recommendation. I'm assuming given no setbacks. Anyone know anymore? I don't know how to put a link in here but this article came from Skins local news page from espn.
