One Last Luck vs RGIII Thread

LOL Last RGIII/ Luck thread title, not hardly!

What do you guys think in terms of the hype machine and if that is setting the Redskins up for failure? We gave up 2 additional first rounders and a 2nd round pick plus all the hype. This could become the biggest mistake in NFL history (Devil's Advocate moment) thoughts?

Luck is boring and he is going to a small market team. At least that is what I think the media thinks of him. All the RG3 hype has been pretty much created by the media, and he has handled it very well. I don't think he's said anything stupid and the only negative things out there are Albert Breer's insistence on reporting something negative about RG3.

As we know, RG3 has spent time or is spending time with Kyle S. studying the playbook, and I am sure this will be stepped up after the draft.

Also, isn't Tom Moore working for the Jets right now?

With the new CBA, will RG3 and Kyle be allowed to continue their training sessions or are the current workouts simply workout and no film study?

I think it just comes down to their different personalities. Luck is more low key, RG3 embraces the spotlight. Neither is the right or wrong way, they're just different guys. I wouldn't assume that just because RG3 is more in the spotlight that he's not working his tail off when it comes to football. Luck has had his share of magazine covers too.

Luck is going on Letterman's show before the draft. So much for a low profile.

I was one of the few that was 100% against the trade and still am. I think after the draft, and once all the hype is settled, he'll get is head in the playbook and start grinding. We're not going to know if this trade was a mistake until a few years down the line.

I've been thinking about this as well.


Just because RG3 has the personality, doesn't mean he's going to be successful playing in the NFL. Luck reminds me a lot of peyton manning, in terms of how they talk, act, and their humbleness.

While its true that RG3 is riding his fame wave, you got to keep in mind that WE care about him more than any other player in the draft, because we know he will be our future QB. I'm sure Colt fans are following Luck real closely as well.

Like people said, he still is getting in his hours worth of playbook knowledge with Kyle Shanahan, now it may not be as much time as Luck, because Luck loves studying and reading and Luck also knows that the pressure is on since he IS going to be the number 1 pick.

This draft has a lot of feels to it, but lets hope its not like the 1998 draft, and its more like the 2004 draft.

is it official official now???
