After years of losing seasons, wading thru QB after QB, FINALLY...
Incredible Honor for RG3 - This coming from a man who Coached the legendary John Elway!
Mike Shanahan: No one in NFL history has played at RG3′s level | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/28/mike-shanahan-no-one-in-nfl-history-has-played-at-rg3s-level/related/)
Coach Mike Shanahan was the head coach of a Broncos team that had a Hall of Fame quarterback in John Elway, and he was the offensive coordinator of a 49ers team that had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Joe Montana and Steve Young. But Shanahan says he has never seen anything like the quarterback he’s coaching right now.
Shanahan told reporters on Thursday that Griffin’s array of talents is unprecedented in NFL history.
He has a chance to break three NFL rookie passing records (highest passer rating, highest completion percentage and lowest interception percentage), and he also has 752 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. He’s playing the quarterback position like no one has ever played it.
