Griffin III has been extremely impressive. Fans of other teams want him to have a sophomore slump next season and are comparing him to Cam Newton. But how can they compare RG3 to Newton when RG3 has done more in his rookie season than Cam did in his rookie season? Nay! They are just pure haters plain and simple.

The comparison is about more than football. Cam's a self-professed diva (ok, entertainer) while Robert is a football player with character. Huge difference, IMHO, and it will play out that way over the rest of their respective careers.

Just no comparison, I can't believe we got this lucky. I mean we used to bitch about all the press the Cowgirls get, and RG3 has just wiped them off the media's horizon. Unbelievable.

I think it is even more than that -- RG3, for a guy that young, is an insanely good, sincere leader. Cam is an absolutely awful leader. The fact that RG3 is already a team captain and (at least gives off the vibe that he) loves playing football with his teammates. No comparison -- dude is a boss, here's to at least a decade of RG3 with the Redskins

Absolutely right. He's done everything right in team matters since even before they reported to camp. No comparison to Cam at all.

I wonder if we'd be wanting RG3 if we had drafted Luck. My guess is that we would have done well with Luck under center. I also hear much concern among other teams' fans about RG3s career longevity, and that Luck will be around longer than RG3. Would we see it that way from the outside looking in?

I believe that RG3 will be much more of a traditional pocket passer in the future, but will obviously always have the potential for making the explosive play. Could be an exciting decade or so...

Re: Where does RGIII rank?

I see Luck Vs. RGIII this way: Both teams picked the right player for what they wanted to do. Luck is perfect for the Colts and RGIII is perfect for the Skins. For that reason, the idea of trading one for the other must be unthinkable to most fans of both teams. I know it is to me.

Larry Bird as a Laker? Unthinkable! Magic Johnson as a Celtic? Unthinkable!

I think we have to give a lot of credit to Kyle for making the redskins offense perfect for RG.
