Robert Griffin III is on the field for practice. Did leg lifts, stretches and shuffle steps. #Redskins #RedskinsTalk

I don't know to what extent @RGIII will participate in team drills (can't watch that) but I'm shocked by how much he's able to do.#Redskins

Should be noted that there was no brace on the outside of his sweat pants. #RedskinsTalk #Redskins

If Thanksgiving was any indication he is about be far more then a thorn in your side.

He is going to dominate this rivalry like nobody has since Dave Campo

Keep running the ball RG.... those hits won't get any easier!

Thats just silly "stats over wins"

Luck has 2 more wins over a far easier schedule to the point that it is not even worth discussing.

The last winning team Luck played? The Patriots. And he looked terrible, Rex Grossman like in that game throwing 2 pick 6's and getting the Colts blown out of the water.

Wins over TN (2), Jacksonville (1), Detroit (1), Buffalo (1), and getting blown out of the water by the Jets and Patriots isn't that impressive.

If he does win OROY he would be the first QB to win it by leading the NFL in one passing category: In Luck's case that would be interceptions

And btw, RG3 is already in the HOF.. at least his jersey and cleats are from the MNF game against the Giants

........oh yea... you care! Otherwise you wouldn't be on a Cowboys message board pleading your case about how good he is!

Here's some facts:

RG3 w/ Garcon playing is 6 - 1.

When Garcon was out with his injury RG3 went 1 - 5.

So don't sit there and say that RG3 is "doing it" without his #1 (who's name you couldn't even spell correctly) because he only won 1 game in his absence.

RG3 is a flash in the pan. Vick played this good his rookie year too. RG3 is smaller than Vick. injuries are a comin'

Michael Vick in his rookie year only played 8 games and finished with a passer rating of 62.7.

RG3 has started all 13 games so far and missed a couple of quarters due to injury, he's also tied for the league lead in passer rating with Tom Brady at 104.2.

Also, RG3 is both taller and heavier than Vick.

It's amazing you can be wrong about everything you say in a post, good job.

Yes.. And luck has won only 2 more games ans is in the bottm half of the Qb standings while RG3 is #1.

And I worry not about spelling cause typing on a cell phone sucks.

Didn't the Colts beat Aaron Rodgers and the all mighty Packers?!

I've been sifting through most of the pages in this thread and saw a recurring sentiment; RG3's playing style will ultimately shorten his career. What I say to that is.... perhaps. The possibility will always loom when he's outside the pocket with bodies flying around. However, playing QB in general will ultimately result in many injuries throughout the course of a career whether pocket passer or scrambler. The threat of a season or career ending injury is ever present for the NFL signal caller (Troy Aikman knows what I'm talking about).

Most rookie QBs go through the bumps in the road associated with learning how to minimize mistakes while operating an offense. In RG3's case, he's pretty damn consistent already operating his offense....it's him learning how to take less bumps in the road regarding his body. Pain is the greatest teacher and sometimes a young guy who thinks he's SuperMan has to learn the hard way. However he is learning nonetheless (the first injury this season came from just being reckless outside the pocket. The second injury occurred from not sliding fast enough to protect the whole body). RG3 is a smart a guy; he'll learn from it all.

And by the way, he's slated to play Sunday at Cleveland in a brace (he still has that rocket pin point arm).

Well Redskins fans trying to pimp RG3 on a Cowboys forum aside, the knee injury could hamstring the Redskins offensea more than a little. What killed us in the first game was them running that option on Ware and Ware failing more often than not in covering it.

Now that he has seen it we can hope that he can zone it up better but if RG3 cannot run well then it makes it a whole lot easier to defend. They must have run that play or it's play action counter on us up to 10 times. That is a significant amount of the offense.

This is before you consider that you can be a bit more aggressive in your pass rush because he is not so fast as to destroy angles from our slow ILB if he takes off upfield.

I am interested to see how he does if he has to be a pocket QB for 40 attempts. Not saying that he cannot but that athletic ability gives him a huge edge.
