Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

Maybe Torain's success here was a bit of an aberration to begin with?

I think our backfield looks pretty set with Helu and Royster, like to see Hightower back too.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

Not a Griffin thread, but at least one system grades Robert Griffin out as the best prospect in the last 15 years. As in: better coming out than Manning.

Ley me ask you this,who did they say was the best prospect last year?Look I like the kid but you guys do this and put way to much pressure on the team and the kid.....he should be good ,I don't see why people would think he's better then Luck or Cam Newton?

Does that mean you approve? I trust their opinion on the subject.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

I just got through watching the Alamo Bowl between Baylor and Washington. RG3 really didn't do a lot in that game. Baylor had over 500 yards rushing in that game. RG3 passed for just over 300 yards and ran for over 100 yards. He was sacked quite a bit in that game. NFL teams will undoubtedly watch film of this game to undoubtedly find ways to stop Griffin and keep him in the pocket and pressure him. Like Michael Vick before him, all Griffin III needs to do is get outside of the pocket and turn up field. With his athletic ability, he can surely beat a spy LB or throw it to an open receiver on the run. It would seem that RG3 will create a lot of unwanted problems for even the best of NFL defenses.

Watch Cam Newton against Oregon. Very similar game to RG3. Don't worry, its RG3 with bad players around him. Cam didn't exactly have great players around him at Auburn on Offense. Mike Vick, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton manning, they all were stopped in college (some pretty often than the others).

so he turned in a 400 yard game and that's not much

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

the biggest success metric from college to the pros is completion % and year over year completion % increase durnig college (unless its one of a few gimmick college passing systems).

starting at 60% and going to 73% is crazy good. his vick like speed isn't going to hurt either. and if you watch some clips, you'll see his long ball is accurate. so i don't doubt he could be great.

I don't think he's done a lot of work with small windows like he'll have in the NFL or throwing guys open, but we'll see how that goes soon enough...

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

I think picking up a guy like Garcon who proved he could have his most explosive season even without Peyton last year would be nice. Hes only 25 i think and has a much longer future then VJ at a much more reasonable price.

Peyton Manning visits Denver, Arizona as he tries to decide where he'll play next - Peter King - SI.com

Great read on RG3, the trade, and Allen and Shanahan.

Eric Winstrom just became Free Agent target number 1, in my eyes.
