That's the name that scares me a bit that pops up in quite a few rookie lists. I hope Dak (and no I'm not saying I believe he is) isn't a flash in the pan like he was.

Shouldn't be, they are nothing alike.

Griffin? Would not have thought that.

Right? I did a double take there. Then I remembered his rookie season with Morris. They took the league by storm. Until the read option got figured out. That was pretty much it for them

Percy you are driving a stake thru risen's heart with all the solid gold FACTS.

Nothing to do with any particular poster, just showing successful rookie QB's contributions to their respective offenses.

And anyway, I don't think wooden stakes or garlic work against Risen.

The thing about RG3 is he got hurt in his second season so we don't know if he would have remainded a great QB like he did his first season. He deserved some of the blame for getting hurt for repeatedly running and not knowing how to slide. Thankfully Dak already knows how to slide. Not just sliding though I think it's fair to say RG3 was a low IQ QB while Dak is a very high IQ QB. They should not be compared.

Let's just hope he's more of a Marino and less of a Griffin

Production wise, rather he be more like Ruthlesscrapper. Just threw up in my mouth.

No, he got hurt in that playoff game his rookie year and continued to play on one leg. Then he threw everybody under the bus when they lost. He proved to have the thinnest skin of any NFL player I can remember with him and his dad seemingly responding to every single negative thing said or written about him. Yes, he got hurt again but he lost the respect of everyone around him and it all went south. He seemed like a hard working humble guy as a rookie and he let the success swell his head and never took any criticism without lashing out. Then you add in the team having to take away his biggest threat, the read option, because the league adjusted and he couldn't run it without getting hurt. He just proved he could not run a traditional NFL offense. Dak is proving he can do that as well as anyone. They are nothing alike.

These are the top 5 defenses in opposing QB's passer rating.
1 Den
2 Ari
3 Min
4 NYG
5 Sea

With our next two games on the road against #3 and #4, that should tell us a lot about our chances against #5 a bit later.

Well noted and your work here is outstanding and much appreciated Percy.
