One thing I'll say about luck is he's the least talked about out of the young guns, but yeah he needs to lower those ints in the future.

Every one talks about him. Everyday he was talked about like he was Peyton Manning after the Kansas City game.

Andrew Luck explains why he does fewer ads than RG3 - NFL.com




It would behoove RGIII to follow Luck's lead on this.

Why? Robert puts in a ton of time, no one has accused him of not knowing the playbook. He got married, rehabbed, did his commercials and was still statistically a good season after coming off a major injury. Its silly to me to think that a couple hours or days a year on commercial shoots impacts a player's ability to perform on the field.

It's in reference to keeping a low profile. Luck chose to go that route and RGIII hasn't. Well, when you want the spotlight, expect that light to burn you when things go wrong. With the media shit storm DC has, he would be better off going to Luck route.

He doesn't help himself out by making that target on his back even bigger than what it would be if he didn't do any branding. In the story today, he responded to a fan about how he didn't want the media attention. Well, if he didn't want the media attention.....WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DRAWING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF VIA COMMERCIALS AND MARKETING????

If he doesn't want that kind of publicity, then he needs to take a route with a lower profile. It's going to be bad enough with DC media as it is, why make it that much worse?


For the record, I understand Robert gets the raw deal when it comes to the media, and it's often not fair. That said, he needs to minimize what ammo and fuel he gives them.

Those are fans from other teams piling on because his roookie year he was the de facto face of the NFL. Alot of people resented that. Comes with the territory, he should not have outshined Luck. Oliver's friends are mad also.

For someone that's so intelligent and polished, RG3 seems to fail to realize these things. It's as if now he's like.." what's the problem?" ...he just doesn't get it. Whether he realizes it or not, his branding machine has become bigger than the team. That's fine if you're Peyton Manning, not so with a 2nd year guy.

That sounds like a double standard.

also, RG3 is a communications major, there is no way he could let this opportunity pass him by. He was trained to market and brand. That is his profession.

People love stats around here...lol.

I agree, from everything we here, he's a hard worker. But he really is starting to dig a hole for himself.

Good stuff

[SmootSmack]

I like how Luck conveniently never mentions that advertisers simply weren't as interested in him.

Also, for the record, the Colts also sold those QB Showdown t-shirts as well

If the commercials aren't a problem when they win, they shouldn't be a problem when they lose either. Just an example of petty, dimwitted people out there focusing on the wrong stuff.

Yep, the commercials arent a big deal especially since he's is contractually obligated to do them. The same with his weekly pressers during the season, its something that has to be done as part of the job.

Where I do think RG could stfu is with things like his recent facebook post and twitter. That stuff isnt helpful and just provides fuel for the fire.

[Ruhskins]

People need to get over the whole "keep low profile" unrealistic expectation. Even if RG3 were to give up all of his commercials, our local TMZ-like sports media will be all over him. What is he supposed to do, go live in a f*cking bunker?

Doing less commercials is not going to make him a better QB. Being completely healthy, without a knee brace, with the benefit of a full second offseason, and having some good talent around him is what's going to make him a better QB.
