The biggest difference is not the skill of the players at the top of the draft between 2012 and 2013, but the aggressiveness of the teams at the top. The Colts released Peyton Manning and the Redskins dealt 3 first round picks to set the table for the RG3/Luck draft. The Chiefs just...traded for Alex Smith. That's the biggest difference.
I would disagree. There is a big difference between RG3's consistency and Geno Smith's consistency. Also intangibles RG3 definitely has the edge. Both on and off the field. I can guarantee there will not be three rookie quarterbacks starting in the playoffs. As far as QB talent, there is a huge difference between this years draft and last years draft. Last year you had the Heisman winner with a great arm and great intangibles, the QB who could have been a first round pick the past two years, and an underrated QB who was overlooked due to his height. This year you have a QB who could have been a top 10 pick last year but fell off badly and proving that he really was not that good, a QB who lost 5 straight games when he had Tavon Austin and Bailey as receivers, a QB who underachieved at FSU but is shooting up boards because of his "talent".

There is a huge difference between Geno Smith and RG3, and a huge difference between the quarterback classes.
