Kudos to RG III

Has a rookie qb ever won league mvp before? Rg3 is without a doubt league MVP right now. We'd be 0-6 without him. We were in all 5 games where he played the whole game solely because of him. No player is more valuable to his team right now than rg3 is to the skins.

No. He's not. Matt Ryan would be a MVP winner right now more than anybody. Also, this is the one thing that bothered me about getting RGIII. Fans will overlook anything and put them on a pedestal. RGIII needs to work on that 3rd down QB rating before he can touch a MVP trophy. He's got a long way to go, but he's done a great job so far.

I made a bet with a Cowboys fan who had to sit in my living room as I clicked rewind and then play during RG3's 76 yard TD run on my DVR 25 times while I paused the run several times for long-winded narration. My losing option was to go to a bar with a Romo jersey and cheer the Cowboys on when they play the Skins. So glad I won.

lol...i think you let the cowboy fan off kinda easy if you had to go down to a bar with a Romeo jersey on. httr

I see a lot of room for improvement with RGIII - but that's a scary thing to consider since what I have seen from RGIII, so far, has been nothing short of awesome! Once reading defenses become second nature to Griffin, you're going to see this team scoring at will.

Had I lost the Viking's game bet I planned to solicit suggestions from here. All I could come up with was exposing myself to Ebola.

I would add that there are WR drops that can be attributed to poor 3rd down conversion as well as poor blocking on runs.

RGIII is that great. Just wait until the rest of the team catches up.

He just put up a 97.5 QBR in week 6 (the best in the league for a single game all year) and ranks sixth his total QBR through six games. Guess who is number 7.... Andrew Luck.

RGIII is who this team needed. Thanks Colts for drafting Luck, because this is our guy.

I for one don't think he has earned a MVP award, though he should be considered, and as far as that third down rating I want you to look at how many third downs he is trying to convert beyond 3rd and 5. That is where we are having problems, is getting a dumb penalty or having a bad run and getting stuck with 3rd and 9 or 3rd and 15. We shoot our selves in foot more often than not at times, and asking a guy to convert something that long on a consistent basis can be difficult.

His last 40 yards of the 76-yard run was timed at exactly 4.0 seconds...sure he had a running start but he was looking back, slowing down and high-stepping. Amazing.

Initial Thoughts: Redskins 38, Vikings 26 - Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/redskins-watch/2012/oct/15/initial-thoughts-redskins-38-vikings-26/)

Griffin’s 76-yard touchdown is the stuff of legends. (Read Griffin's description of how he experienced the play.) Such game-changing, explosive plays are why you trade three first-round picks and a second-rounder to move up to draft him. It was special for so many reasons.

First, the speed. Griffin planted his back foot at the Redskins’ 15-yard line. He reached the end zone 10.8 seconds later. That’s a 40-yard dash pace of 4.89 seconds, and he ran laterally to the sideline after breaking the line of scrimmage and then slowed down in the final five yards. But even with the slowdown at the end of the run, he ran the last 60 yards in a straight line in 6.1 seconds and the last 40 yards in 4.0. That is unreal. “Speed kills” is a cliché because it’s true. With the Redskins teetering on the brink of collapse, Griffin’s speed put the Vikings to the sword.

Exactly. Matt Ryan isnt relegated to the third and longs all the time. Its like how everyone wants to say eli is a great come from behind - fourth quarter qb. Well eli and the gints put themselves in those come from behind positions in the first place. Lol. Also if i could have matt ryan (as a rookie) or rg3 i would take rg3 in a heartbeat. Matt ryan has two of the best wr's and a hell of a team around him.
