RGIII Pro Day

[Maestro]

RGIII and Baylor had its pro day today with RGIII completing 71 of 76 passes (3 drops). It aired on ESPN 3. His accuracy was impressive, his accuracy on the move was impressive. he could hit tight windows and always lead the receiver. I think that he would be the right fit for the Redskins system.

His speed may be too fast for the play action and roll out, but if there is a lane there for the roll out to gain some yards, at least we know he could tuck it and run with it cause he has the speed.

I love Griffin. I have been locked in with him being the pick ever since the trade, and would absolutely love having him here. That said, there are some Redskins fans saying that they hope the Colts didn't attend his pro day because they are worried they may take him at #1.

I'm sorry, but no matter how well Griffin performed at his pro day, there is no way I would take him or ANYBODY over Andrew Luck. If the Colts are stupid enough to not take Luck #1, Redskins fans everywhere should be jumping for joy. I have no doubt that Griffin can be a star in this league, but Luck is THE prototype at quarterback.

I didn't get to watch any of his pro day though. Did he take snaps under center?

I didn't see any of his pro day but when I was listening to ESPN Radio while driving home all the talking heads were raving about it which I am not surprised.

When I watched him play last year I was totally impressed with how he threw the deep ball. While he made it look easy he may have had the best accuracy throwing deep out of anyone in the college game so I am sure that will translate to the pros.

While he didn't play under center a whole lot at Baylor, I am not worried about it since that is one of the knocks on Cam Newton and look how his rookie season went. Plus everything I have read about RG3 is that he has an amazing work ethic and is going to put all the time and work in to be great.

With the Redskins making that trade and the pressure that is going to be on him I want to see him succeed and give the fans something to root for and those who watch him to enjoy the ride.

This dude is going to be a very good QB, which sucks for the Giants. The way he handles himself during interviews and is very telling about his work ethic. He is the best mobile QB I have seen since Steve Young which is highly impressive.

People talk like Cam Newton's first season was great, well he still threw 17 INTs, which isn't great by any means. I get the dual threat thing, I get the 20+ TD passes by a rookie QB thing, but it's not like he's the second coming, and it's not like RGIII can't be better. I'm serious. This guy is faster and smarter than Cam Newton, not to mention throws much more accurately. Washington has some weapons now with Hankerson, Garcon, Morgan, and Moss (if they keep him). RGIII will have a better cast around him. Watch out.

You didn't just compare Cam Newton to Brett Favre...

No. You said that he didnt have a great season because he threw too many int's while brett favre has proved that you can still be a great qb even if you throw a lot of ints
