Haha...yeah. Hey! Can Hess play corner?

Re: Kudos to RG III

thing that has impressed me the most is his accuracy and vision and quick decision making... think its possible that he is going to the run more often than maybe finding another reciever but that will come with time... he's just very, very impressive in his quick read and react throws at this stage in his short NFL career.

I agree with the quickness. Most of the time, I can't tell one player from another in terms of an actual game move. I mean I can see the results on the field, but a qb arm motion is a qb arm motion. But I watch Griffin, and the quickness of his release when he starts throwing, the ball just seems to be gone. Several times, including the Garcon 88yd TD, a blitzer was coming right at him, and somehow the ball is just out of his hands.

Reminds me a bit of Marino in that, I remember he would step step step and the ball was just gone to his receiver.

Re: Kudos to RG III

yea he can really get it out quick... and you can see it the garcon td is a good example and some of the over the middle throw RIGHT after the ball fake throws last week and vs atl as well are good examples

Not sure what to make of this other than holy nit picking. So two of his five misses were drops?

Honestly I think it's more a veiled attempt to reinforce how excellent his accuracy has been when throwing.

Re: Kudos to RG III

I really don't care about his completion % or lack of Int's. His completion % should be high cause of the short throws. What I like most about this kid is he does things to a defense that do not show up in stats. He's opening holes for Morris on the option runs, he's keeping the defense honest on the stretch runs, the slants seem to open all day long cause the LB has to respect the play action, his ball faking is on point, he's only 6 starts into his career and he does all this to a defense. This is why no matter what our record is, Kyle and Mike have to stay...they're a little too consevative with him in the passing game but overall they've done a phenomenal job w/ RG3.

I think it was how you prefaced the link for the article with "for those of you who think griffin never misses". Lol. Was that over my head sarcasm too?

I still remember during the first game vs. NO when RG3 handed the ball to Morris, then pretty much outran Morris to get in front and throw a block.
