Re: Where does RGIII rank?
You got Eli Manning ranked before Big Ben? Manning is NOT a consistent QB. His heroics in SBs 42 &46 overshadows his inconsistency a great deal. The guy only has a 82.6 career QB rating.

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
Who gives a F*&K about a QB ranking if they are clutch when it counts and Eli is clutch.

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
I'm not saying Manning is not good. I'm saying that he's inconsistent and a QB who is inconsistent is not elite. Period. When I view quarterbacking, I pay attention to skill. The level of skill is what defines an elite QB. Championships are what a team attains, not just the QB.

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
I'm not surprised that RG3 is doing as well as he's doing. Before the draft he was the player I wanted. I thought that he was the best player in the 2012 draft. I believed that he be very good right away and shock a lot of people.
The question is where do I rank him? This is a very complex question because there are a lot of things to consider. As a qb I rank him in the top ten. As a player I rank him in the top five. Passing the ball RG3 doesn't have as many yards as the top ten qbs mainly because he doesn't pass the ball nearly as much. However, he's very, very effective when he does. He's one of the most efficient passers in the NFL (4th rated). He's the most dangerous runner in the NFL. Combine with his elite passing ability he has world class speed to match. This makes him in my opinion one of the best players in the NFL right now. I do not see a sophomore slump in his future. Next year he'll really know this offense and NFL defenses. I want everyone to bookmark this statement. Next season RG3 will be the best qb/player in the NFL. There is no doubt in my mind that this guy is forreal. Every year we will see him get better and better. |

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
I'd say:
1. Brady 2. Rodgers 3. Brees 4. P. Manning 5. E. Manning 6. Roethlisberger 7. RGIII 8. Schaub 9. Ryan 10. Stafford 11. Romo 12. Luck 13. Freeman 14. Flacco 15. Rivers He's probably not 'slump proof' but teams we face next year will have a whole season of tape on him as well as a potential rule change (eliminating chop blocks) that may impact his effectiveness. He probably will be a more 'traditional' QB next year, more dropbacks and less read-option than this season. As for winning a SB, there are too many factors to definitively say yes or no but within 3 years we will be a SB contender and will remain so for a while.

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
I think a more relevant discussion is where does RG3 rank among all time rookie QB's of the modern era.
1. RG3 (at current pace) - 2012 2. Dan Marino - 1983 3. Ben Roethlisberger - 2004 4. Cam Newton - 2011 5. Matt Ryan - 2008

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
Flacco and Ryan are inconsistent to me. Put Ryan on a bad team and I don't think he elevates the talent around him. Same with Flacco.

Re: Where does RGIII rank?
Yeah. No way Flacco or Ryan could carry an offense like Griffin carries the Skins.
