*Official* Robert Griffin III Bandwagon (1 Viewer)

Robert Griffin III is the most underrated quarterback in college football.

This kid is an athletic marvel and a talented and disciplined passer.

He'll be the best all-around athlete at the combine.

Could be the next big thing.

 
Griffin has a gorgeous deep ball. He's a special type of dual threat that's primarily a pocket passer. I'll have to admit, I'll be watching the TCU game vs Boise later this season to see what kind of numbers Kellen Moore puts up against the same defense that Griffin torched in September.

I felt awful for him when he tore his ACL because I assumed it would cost him his athleticism and a shot at an NFL career. Instead he's just come back many time better. The guy is a special playmaker.

 
Hard to admit as a tcu fan, but the kid can ball.

Here's to hoping tcu can learn to play defense and Baylor goes on to win the Big 12 (9?).

Supposedly he's a real smart kid too and has his head on straight. I've got nothing to back that up other than the word of a Baylor alum.

 
I don't think any other player in the country is moving further up NFL draft boards than Griffin III. The guy seems to have it all and is playing incredible football. I never knew he had such a good arm. I've always known about his athletic ability but not how well he can throw the ball. If he keeps this up he is going to be a sure 1st round pick. Can't wait to see him vs. Oklahoma and Texas.

the question is, does he declare this year or finish his college career?

Tough to tell right now. The last thing a heard is that he is on schedule to graduate (4th year Jr football wise) and has offered his hand in marriage to a some chick (reasons to declare). heard that he a planned some grad school, but if he is legitimately a 1st rounder (I think he is) then I expect grad school to all of a sudden not be too important.

Again, ALL of my sources in the Baylor program are convinced RG3 returning for another season.

These guys are in the key parts of a season and honestly a semester (for the real students which he seems to be). He does have not make up his mind for real until January when he has better information about his prospects. Unless I have missed it, none of the key Jrs/3rd sophs have made decisions.

Posted THIS in the college football thread.That mock has him going #2 overall, which I think is terribly optimistic, but a Top-10 selection wouldn't be shocking.

 
Luck, Jones, Barkley, and Griffin are all going to be gone by about 6 or 7th, teams need QBs up and down the board and will trade up if they think they can get one of these guys. I like Griffin and he continues to show a lot of ability and has some sills the others don't have. It's going ton e a banner year for rookie QBs. Plus it doesn't cost what it used to in order to grab these guys so teams won't blink an eye taking them off the board.

Good point about the rookie salaries. It should make top picks a lot more tradable in future drafts.

Honestly, I think we saw the lower salary figures playout last year wth reaches at QB. the top QBs this year project better than the dudes last year, so I expect more movemant/reaches as even the 2nd/3rd level of guys look to have higher upside than all but Newton/Dalton. Guessing a handful of WTF QB selection in April.

I first saw him when he beat Ryan Mallet in the Texas HS playoffs.

As athletic as he is, I still think many don't realize how gifted he truly is. Besides football he "was" once one of the top hurdlers in the world. As a JR at Copperas Cove, he set the Texas state record in the 100 and 300 meter hurdles. His 300 time is the 2nd fastest in HS history. He didn't run as a SR because he enrolled at Baylor in the spring. He did, however, run the 400 hurdles for Baylor. He was the Big 12 champion and placed 3rd in the NCAA's. I just find it remarkable that he's winning NCAA medals while his buddies were busy planning their HS prom. I'm not sure, but I assume he went through spring drills for the football team the same year.

On a final note, he finished #7 in his graduating class. For a 4A school in Texas, that's nothing to sneeze at. It should be interesting to see what he scores on the Wonderlic.

I think one of them stays, most likely Landry Jones. He's having the worst season of all of them and he's sort of developing a rep as a choker. He's come up small in some big games. He could increase his chances of being a higher pick next year IMO. There's no way he goes above Luck, Barkley or RGIII at this point. The other factor is that if you look at all the NFL teams, there might not be 4-5 teams that need to take a QB in the 1st round. The only "locks" for a QB at first glace are Miami, Washington and Seattle. I know, I know, Indianapolis right? Hard to say with Manning's status so unclear.

He threw for like 450 yds...Baylor scored 45, that's not his fault. I would not be surprised if all 4 are gone by pick #5, seriously. The Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colt are taking a QB, there's 2 gone.
 
John Smith Taylor....look him up...he's a true 7th grader. He's got a skillset that I've never seen for a 7th grader. Get on his wagon now!!!!

Of course the Colts are taking a QB. Miami too. Washington, Seattle, Kansas City, Cleveland?, Arizona? should all be interested in the big 4.

No way arizona is in the mix, they just traded good assets and gave him good money.KC is up in the air considering the same things with Cassel.
 
Kevin kolb has 21 million guaranteed coming his way. It's going to take a LOT more then 7 mediocre games after a shortened offseason to bench him.

 
Baylor can enter next season as a top 10 team and griffin will be the early Heisman favorite and presumptive #1 overall pick if he comes back.

Maybe they won't, but they both absolutely should be in the mix.
 
I'm fully on board now. No player has improved their stock as much as RG3 has this year. I think he's legitimately a top 10 pick right now and will likely be a top 5 pick when all is said and done. He's an athletic QB not an athlete playing QB. Has all the intangibles and all the skills wtih a fantastic deep ball and the ability to generate yards with his feet. He's clearly overtaken Jones and Barkley is in a huge fight to hang on to the #2 spot. I think RG3 has more upside than Barkley and if I was an NFL GM, I'd make him the 2nd QB off the board if he declares.

I agree that both QB's aren't worth it, but just doesn't make sense from a money standpoint.

I don't think Arizona has a chance at any of the three quarterbacks. Indy, Miami and Washington will all likely pick before Arizona and will take the three QBs.

Perhaps about the #1 overall thing, but I'm not convinced the Baylor team is gonna be a preseason top 10, and they definitely won't have a legitimate shot at the NC game, and more than likely won't be able to win the Big 12. Plus Baylor will be losing their top RB and WR. If he'd be able to lead Baylor to a top 10 ranking next season after losing Kendall Wright, than he'd probably be the #1 overall, but I don't think that's going to be likely so he's better off to declare now imo.

Not to mention, #1 overall isn't as great as it was before the new CBA. He's ready, and I think he should just go #3 or so this year and be happy about it.
 
I'll take him in Miami throwing to Brandn Marshall. :thumbup: Dude has a gun.

6:15. Throws a lateral, takes off through the midle and receives pass from WR. :lmao:

the key is getting through that 4 year rookie deal so you can hit free agency faster

Agree. It would not surprise me if he is #2 QB taken especially if he lights it at the combine.
