Forget Luck or Romo, RGIII isn't even in the same category as Micahel Vick. He's more like Vince Young, except he's not gay.
Like so many other gimmick offenses that coaches had to resort to because they had qbs who don't have the proper brains to run a real NFL offense, it will get figured out and the novelty will wear off. Either Akili Smith 2.0 will have learn to play quaterback like everyone else, or the only future endorsement deals he'll be getting will be for Auntie Anne's pretzels, because that's what his legs will look like.
Only skynyrd fans would even put AS 2.0 in the same discussion as Andrew Luck. Luck is scary in that he is progressing exactly as Peyton did his rookie year, but with a much better record. As for OROY, it's no contest. AS 2.0 isn't even a candidate for OROY on his own team. That running back they've got, think his name is Al Morrison, he's been more impressive.
Bottom line, in a few years, the 2012 darft will be remembered for great qbs like Luck and to a lesser extent Wilson, Tannehill and even Foles (maybe), but not for anyone wearing burgundy and yellow. Hell I would even take Kirt Cousins over AS 2.0 because he's a more pure quarterback in the end.
Time will tell, and it usually tells I'm right. You'll see.
