RG3 talent is unprecedented in NFL history!

After years of losing seasons, wading thru QB after QB, FINALLY...

Incredible Honor for RG3 - This coming from a man who Coached the legendary John Elway!

Mike Shanahan: No one in NFL history has played at RG3′s level | ProFootballTalk
Coach Mike Shanahan was the head coach of a Broncos team that had a Hall of Fame quarterback in John Elway, and he was the offensive coordinator of a 49ers team that had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Joe Montana and Steve Young. But Shanahan says he has never seen anything like the quarterback he’s coaching right now.

Shanahan told reporters on Thursday that Griffin’s array of talents is unprecedented in NFL history.

He has a chance to break three NFL rookie passing records (highest passer rating, highest completion percentage and lowest interception percentage), and he also has 752 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. He’s playing the quarterback position like no one has ever played it.

Career highlights and awards
Pro Bowl (2012)
2× NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month (September 2012; November 2012)
2× NFC Offensive Player of the Week (Week 1, 2012; Week 11, 2012)
6× Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week (Week 1, 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 2012)
59th "Perfect Game" in NFL History (November 18, 2012 vs. Philadelphia Eagles)

RG3 enters the final week of the regular season with several NFL rookie records already secured and more within reach and certainly attainable. Those records include:

*Highest passer rating, rookie, season:98.1. Current record held by Ben Roethlisberger, 2004. Griffin heads into Week 17 with a passer rating of 104.1.

*Highest completion percentage, rookie, season:66.44, Ben Roethlisberger, 2004. (196/295) Griffin's completion percentage is currently tied.

*Best touchdown pass–interception differential, rookie season:14 (20–6). Dan Marino, 1983. Griffin leads with 20 TDs and five INT (15).

*Lowest percentage of passes intercepted in rookie season: 1.98 Charlie Batch, 1998. Griffin leads with a percentage rate of 1.33 (375 attempts - five interceptions).
