Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)

[SmootSmack]

Figured this was worthy of its own thread. Pretty cool stuff

Interestingly enough....don't call him RG3

NFL Videos: RGIII shows his smarts

[Alvin Walton]

Seems like a really good kid.
With all the hoopla about him coming to the Redskins it sure will be a bitter pill if he ends up somewhere else.
I doubt he will hold any ones clipboard though.

He missed the seven step drop but otherwise excellent.

[Lotus]

Pretty impressive, Griffin.

He didn't really miss the 7 step drop. He just didn't put it on the board until Mariucci tried to throw him off and asked if it's 3 step drop. He quickly said, "Yes sir, we're going with a 7 step drop."

This kid is not dumb. I wouldn't be suprised if he isn't already studying film of the teams who may pick him and working with a consultant that is teaching him aspects of the west coast offense. That's what i would do...

I love the fact that he quickly tries to shoot down the Mike Vick mentality that some fans have. And it's fairly obvious if you watch him play he doesn't think like Vick at all. I want this kid. This video just confirms it further.

I think the perception is that Vick is dumb. I remember watching a piece on Andy Reid and he was saying how quickly Vick picked up his offense. I think Vick's a smart guy, he's just made some really bad decisions in his life.

Interesting how he says he doesn't like being called RGIII...and then Mooch calls him that.

I tend to agree that Vick isn't as dumb as he looks, but he definitely has made poor decisions. I just think fans are using the lazy comparison when they talk about why they don't want RG3.

@Lotus: Upstaging Mooch in his own interview? That's a paddlin'.

[celts32]

I don't understand the thought process of anyone who could watch that and still not want to do whatever it takes to get him...

[mredskins]

I feel like his stock is higher then Luck's right now. Maybe it is because Luck is a lock for Indy so the media is focusing on RGIII.

I can't wait to see his Gruden interview on ESPN! CAN'T WAIT!

[skinsfan69]

I don't know why anyone would even question the his intelligence. He's a smart kid. I think it just comes down to whether or not he can adjust to the pro game.

Black QB's have to prove they're smart enough to play the position just as White players in the skilled positions have to prove they're athletic enough. That's just the world we live in.

I think that is the world you live in, in the real world they are all being measured equally to see if they will be a success in the NFL no matter their color.
