RGIII or Andrew Luck

Sounds to me like Luck is forcing the ball downfield as opposed to taking what a defense gives him.

I saw a QB do that last year, his name was Rex Grossman

You would have to watch the games to make that determination, which it doesn't sound as if you do.

Of course you would choose to compare Luck to Grossman

I watched that Detroit game as well as some other games on Indy this year. Luck is an absolute beast. Dude is the real deal. But he does try to force too many balls. I know two of his picks on Sunday were no where near a WR. I dont know if the receiver ran the wrong route or if Luck just threw a bad pass.

Luck is playing like a typical rookie in that he has a ton of moments that make you saw "wow, this guy is amazing" and he has a ton of moments that make you say "wow, what the heck was he thinking on that throw".

Again, the numbers are out there. Why not look for yourself?

RG3 has been more accurate than Luck at every distance other than throws that were between 31 and 40 yards (0% on 4 attempts to Luck's 21% on 14 attempts). Yes, his sample size is smaller, but it's really not as cut and dry as you're trying to make it
