Good for him. The best thing any top flight college player can do is get out of college and into the pros as fast as they can.

I dont want him. He's not a pro style QB and that college style QB doesnt win Super Bowls.

Drew Brees' ring has gone missing!

Pro QB's also don't throw for 5,000 yards. Those are college numbers anyway.

Dan Marino did. Its not about numbers it about style. Brees is a passer who can elude pressure and extend plays. RGIII is another version of Michael Vick (a runner who is an ok passer) and that doesnt win Super Bowls. Sure RGIII threw for a bunch of yards but in college WRs are open by yards and in the pros its inches so college numbers are often misleading. I'm just not sure about RGIII's accuracy.

You're not sure about RG3's accuracy because you don't watch college football. RG3 is an outstanding passer with great accuracy. No one throws the deep ball with more accuracy than RG3. To say he's just an ok passer if flat out wrong. He's more than just an ok passer.

Plenty of different types of QB have won superbowls, to include 'athletic' or 'scrambling' QBs; just like many different types of QBs failed to win superbowls to include pocket passers.

Second, Mike Vick has always been a gifted passer, his decision making and knowledge of the passing game was horrendous.
He's just now become a better decision maker.

When you refer to RGIII as a version of Vick, you're paying RGIII a huge compliment. (remember: Vick was the unquestioned No.1 pick in his draft class)

I agree college numbers are misleading, and all college QBs will have to make the adjustment passing into smaller windows in the NFL.

What about RGIII's accuracy aren't you sure about?

I like the humor but you're not suggesting that Brees and RG# played in a similar offense in college..are you??

They said the same thing about Newton, and he's breaking records. And not to say Cam isn't really smart, but the experts say RG III is super smart and will master any playbook placed in front of him.

DRAFT HIM!

Do people realize that Cam has 34 TD's against 16 Turnovers? Thats insane.

He won't. We have to trade up with the likes of St. Louis, Minnesota, or Jacksonville in which case I believe we would trade with St. Louis since they're not only highest but we have the history of dealing with their front office.
