Jake Query, Indy sports radio 1260 WNDE, invited me on his show today around 3:30 pm EST to discuss RGIII vs Luck from a Redskins fan perspective.
I wanted to solicit some points, perspective, and statistics from you guys that would make the case for RGIII.
One caveat. About a month ago I thought Luck was virtually a lock for ROY because the Colts were headed to the playoffs. Since then, the Skins went on a roll and are positioned as well.
Mods, if you want to move this thread elsewhere, feel free. Thanks.

One thing I will mention is that the Colts have beaten only two teams with winning records.

I don't know that that's such a strong argument

If the Redskins win this week they will win their Division. I know Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck already have their teams in the playoffs, but RGIII, could win the division for his team. Luck and Wilson can't say they have done that. Another case for RGIII, better QB rating, against tougher opponents.

So you wouldn't bring that up?
The thinking from Indy's perspective is Luck has brought the franchise back from the dead and turned them around. ButI hear ya.

Okay, so Jake wants to know what's OUR perception of Andrew Luck. The call will last about 5-7 minutes. Said he'll give Warpath a shout out too!
RG3's stats blow Luck's out of the water when you compare them side by side, no contest really.
Luck has too many turnovers.

I hate to say it, but in my mind if the Redskins dont' win this Sunday and win the Division, then I think Andrew Luck is ROY for taking his team to the playoffs. If The skins win however, RGIII will have won the NFC East for his team, which one-ups Luck. I know RGIII wins the "most effecient" award between the two of them and Russell Wilson has been right up there as well. But objectively you have to say going from 2-14 to the playoffs is just amazing for Indy and without Luck, it doesn't happen.

Yeah I don't buy that thinking, because the Colts really had one bad year. They haven't been a franchise mired in mediocrity. I do understand they have many new players.
Luck has had a solid season but not the most efficient in my opinion. I mean the turnovers alone have been prolific and at times horrific. Luck this year is like that NBA player who you say "Wow! He scored 40 points tonight" and then you see he was 13-38 from the field, 4-10 from 3 point range, and 12-12 from the line" (don't ask me if that adds up to 40, I didn't do the math).
But speak from your heart man, you're a lifelong DC resident. Talk about how the two most important positions in DC are President of the US and Redskins QB. And RG3 has revitalized not just the franchise, but the community.
