I'm not believing the hype on either side of the argument to be honest. I think RG III is a gifted athlete. I think he's a very smart guy. And I find it hard to believe that he has absolutely no knowledge of reading defensive schemes. But, I do think he isn't going to be ready to start from day one. I think a lot of his fans are blinded by his athleticism. I wouldn't be so quick to slap the letter 'S' on his chest and give him a red cape. However, with time, I DO think RG III is intelligent enough to pick up things quickly and he could make a big difference in the NFL. Like the article said, he could be a championship caliber player.

I see Andrew Luck starting from day one. Can't really say the same for the other guys in the draft. Which probably makes the Sanchez thread all the more interesting.
