I think what I was trying to say was his (unknown) is not going to be much different then what the teams I mentioned already have and then I went on to point out that their QB's are pocket passers also. So instead of taking him which will take some time for him to learn the system and for everyone on offense to get on page with each other they would be better served to keep their current QB's who already know their systems and might provide more wins now over taking Luck.

In the long run Luck would probably be better then what they have but with the win now mentality "I" think they would be better served staying put. RGIII offered something Luck didn't and something their current QB's do not and thats mobility.

So you think Luck is just a pocket passer?

Yes. simply put. Compared to RGIII, Luck is more of a pocket passer I think. I know you'll throw out the yrds he had in college but I'd still say he tends to stay in the pocket more and go through his progressions more so then RGIII.

Andrew Luck Stats, News, Videos, Pictures, Bio - Stanford Cardinal - ESPN

In most of his games he had anywhere from 1-3 run attempts.

Robert Griffin III Stats, News, Videos, Pictures, Bio - Baylor Bears - ESPN

Robert had anywhere from 6 to 26 run attempts per game.

How many offensive plays per game is that per team?

Running plays?

Passing plays?


What was the percentage of Luck running based on number of plays compared to that of RGIII?


I think you need to look more into the numbers than just that.

All I'm looking at is Luck's runs per game vs. RGIII's runs per game. tell me Luck is not more of a pocket passer.

I didn't get total plays per game but here's the other stats

Luck:
Run ATT- 43
Pass ATT- 261

RGIII:
Run ATT- 161
Pass ATT- 369

It's very obvious RGIII probably had more plays per game or... Luck had a really good run game and didn't need to pass as much or run himself for the yrds.

The percentage of his running compared to Luck's is a better assessment. If both are running for 5% of the total plays, then it doesn't matter. If one is running 35% compared to the other 10% then it might would.


Also, Luck had 2 OL that will be drafted in the first round this year. Not sure RGIII had that same type of line. Many things factor in why a QB runs. This isn't like Cam Newton who rushed that many times on purpose. Newton didn't sniff 4,000 yards passing in college like RGIII has.

I wish I could find it but I said a very similar thing you said, that there is more to a QB's situation then just the stats and was told I didn't know what I was talking about. Not by you but fans cant have it both ways. What I said was RGIII's runs may have been due to him not going through all his progressions or his OL breaking down causing him to run more.
