Why bother to get this list right when there's just going to be another next year?

A lot of analysts fall into the same trap Jaws did. It's not because he's dumb or doesn't know what he's talking about. It's because football was played differently thirty years ago so there's an nostalgic aspect that more or less doesn't matter when ranking QBs.

I don't have any issue with docking Griffin a couple points for his knee injury, and 13th isn't necessarily underrating RG3, but there will be guys ranked ahead of him that are there because of how they look when playing instead of how they actually play.

It's not always a white/black thing because people have been dogging Romo/Rivers/Chad Pennington for years for not looking exactly like Manning/Brady/Elway/Marino. As if being a poor man's anyone is a desirable trait.

Jaws was never that good a QB anyway.

Basically Griffin is being ranked behind those guys because of his knee issues. He had torn 2 Acls in his young football career so most people will label him injury prone. Kaep to me is not better than the other 3 and this yr he will.take a step back.

Luck is an NFL insider's son. That's Oliver's boy who just threw that interception. Like father like son.

What really burns me is Wilson being ahead; honestly who would take Wilson over RGIII. If Wilson fizzles out I will not be shocked.

Um ...did you see Wilson at the end of the year? He was playing as well as anyone.

Luck is overrated? ok..

How many games did he miss last season?

Yeah because he was throwing it 45 times a game. The coaching staff really put a lot of the offense on Luck. Not the case with RG3 and Wilson. Actually towards the end of the year, Seattle really opened up their offense as well.

What really means a lot is where would you draft Bob in a Fantasy Draft. Not what Jaws, or anyone else thinks! Opinions are like noses, everyone has one!

[skinsfan69]

RG3 is behind those guys because he was not asked to do what the others were asked to do in the passing game. That's a fair evaluation. Wilson won a playoff game and threw all over the Atl defense in their loss. Kap got his team to the SB. Luck right now is a better pocket passer than RG3. RG3 needs to show that he can read the entire field, come off to his 2nd and 3rd options and make accurate throws from the pocket. He's capable but he didn't have enough big passing days as some of the others did. I think Jaws was fair in his evaluation.

He was an average QB...but the man knows his stuff and he sure watches a hell of a lot more film than anyone around here does.

Regardless of the rankings, I rather have no one other than RG3 running this offense and team HTTR
