Re: Around the NFL week 10
 

I think the Colts may be an example of leadership/motivation playing a big role in their success. On paper, outside of Luck, many pundits had them labeled as one of the worst teams in the league. Now I am not saying that they have a bunch of nobodies (they do have the likes of R. Wayne and Freeney), but they are a very young team with a roster that wasn't impressing anybody.

I believe from day one, that coaching staff (Pagano and then Arians) have had that team playing with an us against the world attitude. And while I am not going to say that leadership/motivation will overcome utter lack of talent; I do feel that leadership/motivation has brought the best out of a team that really wasn't expected to do much. Unless something goes completely wrong, I could easily see them going 9-7 or easily 10-6.

[quote=The Goat;962652]New components?[/quote]no, just upgrading the electrical system.

right now:
power - 4 awg from battery to distribution block and 8 awg from the block to the amps
ground - 8 awg (grounded to a seat belt bolt under the rear seat cushion) to amps

will be:
power - 1/0 awg from battery to distribution block and 4 awg from block to amps
ground - 1/0 awg grounded to frame under trunk, run through hole drilled in trunk, to distribution block and 4 awg from block to amps

i doubt it, but if i have enough 1/0 awg left over, i'll use it under the hood for the "big 3". i'll probably have to order more 1/0 awg wire, as well as 1/0 ring terminals.
1/0 awg from alternator positive to battery positive
1/0 awg from frame to battery negative
1/0 awg from frame to engine ground

[quote=SFREDSKIN;962614]As much as I love RGIII Luck is slightly better, he doesn't need college plays to be successful, very comfortable in the pocket (helps to have played in a pro style offense).

Whatever happened to your boy Justin Blackmon? Ever since his DUI he's nowhere to be found.[/quote]

Yeah Luck is looking pretty damn good.Beginning of season RG3 looked like the better QB,not anymore,but that could be contributed to a lot of other factors.
There were a few people on here who earlier in season said they wouldnt trade RG3 for Luck and 3 first round picks,wonder if they still feel the same?
If they do,well I wouldnt want them running my football team :)

Re: Around the NFL week 10
 

I still say RG3 will have the better career. Just not with the Shanahans.

He might ,I'm not saying he won't
But he's not worth Luck and 3 first rd picks

If RGIII was with Indy they would be just as good or even better. Our teams qb isn't the problem its the coaching staff. Griffin can hit a lot of the throws Luck makes and can read defenses very well(that is an area where Luck is head and shoulders above our guy but that's about it).

Luck has been playing in a pro style offense for four years. On top of having a dad who played in the NFL before. Roberts had none of those advantages. Despite that Andrew just now playing better than our QB. And only by a small margin.

Now the question is would Luck still look just as good here with the Skins current roster? I think not. The fact that Griffin has looked so good with no recievers and a shoddy O line says wonders about his skill set and talent.

I disagree, Luck would just as successful with the Redskins as with the Colts. The Steelers figured a way to contain RGIII and Carolina copied Pittsburgh's strategy. Luck is ahead of the curve playing in the pocket due to his experience in a pro style offense, RGIII is learning very quickly but not there yet. The Shanahan's have the cuffs on RGIII while Luck has free reign, the Colts offense has been on the field longer than their D, that is why they are winning games. The 3 games the Redskins won was due to their Offense controlling the game. RGIII hasn't been helped by injuries to Garcon, Davis, Helu and lots of dropped balls by the WR's.

Pittsburgh figured out our players on offense suck besides Griffin, same as Carolina. Who does RG3 have to throw to? Luck at least has a HOF WR with him. And a pretty damn good line

Their line is no better than the skins, it's called "pocket presence". RGIII will get there, he's not as polished as Luck in that area. Like I said having having played in a pro style offense helps Luck.

No player is better than TW, but they have a far better RT. I agree with u on luck, in fact I think me and u were really the only ones hoping he'd fall to 2. Obviously I'm a HUGE fan of Griffin and I know he's a franchise qb so I'm not at all mad. Js Luck is already playing at a MVP level IMO.

Yes, Polumbus is horrible, Winston Justice (Eagles reject) is slightly better. The sky is the limit for RGIII.

Pretty much a waste of time and money trying to get JR out in LA. NC is his home, his birthplace, and where he attended college. Guy isn't moving anywhere. Too bad he isn't our owner. I like the guy.

Damn the games we blew this year. The way the east is looking rite now a 500 record would have us practically in the drivers seat - especially with 5 east games to play.
Guess thats par for the course though.
