RG3 will show flashes of greatness. But expect him to struggle at the next level as a rookie. I expect him to play great at times and I expect him to make mistakes at times. Has there ever been a rookie QB to lead his NFL team to a strong post season push in recent memory? Yes, there was. Big Ben took the Pittsburgh Steelers to the AFC Championship game as a rookie. He won a Super Bowl ring the next year so it can be done.

RG3 is not playing defenses like Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska anymore. He's going against professional NFL standard defenses now.
