Robert Griffin III: The Man Behind The Name

But I think Andrew Luck will actually get the (somewhat undeserved) rookie of the year award when he leads the Colts to the playoffs in the NFL's weakest division.

What the hell are you smoking? :Smoker:

I don't often see eye to eye with NC but I gotta agree here.

Houston should take that division again.

Houston has no depth. And it's a long season.

But Indy has depth?

But Indy has depth?Didn't suggest they did (I hope).

I like them in a 16 game season. Once you account for the fact that none of the other three teams would compete for a wild card if the division title didn't exist, it pretty much comes down to record within the division. And Indy gets the divisions' best (or second best) quarterback, and just as many home games as everyone else.

I mean, heck, Indy went 2-4 in the division last year, isn't Luck worth some sort of bump?

To be fare they beat a Houston team without Matt Schaub and a rookie QB with Tennessee, plus they went 0-10 outside the division. Lost their best (arguable) WR, top 2 TEs, top RB, and have no defense outside of an aging Freeney and Mathis. I don't see what you do. I don't think they go 2-14 again but they will have a top 5 pick in the 2013 draft.

Indy has no starters.

Peter King's take on the whole RG3 bashing...

Re RG3 bashing: When I asked him for his favorite play of '11, he talked for 5 minutes about his downfield block on RB TD in Alamo Bowl.

I'm sure some scout thinks Griffin is selfish. But in my reporting on him+Luck, I never heard that trait mentioned once about either guy.
