Work out deals and play games internationally and domestic. Apply same model to basketball. We should also stop participating in the Olympics. So funny how ahem people know whether the guy will be a bust northshorejagoff. If you were so smart you would be in Indy.
Your not so you arent. Big dummy. To all those black guys or white guys who feel the need to apologize for guys like me.. Im not racist but I do speak the truth and I have some narrow-minded tendencies…here we go…. We think Cam Newton has the potential to be a top 3 NFL QB, yes he made some mistakes as a youngster, but how many of us did stupid stuff when we were that age.
To all the Vick haters ask any of your team defenses do he suck. Not a guess a proven fact half you guys let your racism clowd your judgement.
Funny how the Eagles still was in every game that he played in and turned the ball over in. So again I will take it even further ask your teams defensive coordinators who would they rather play a stationary Qb or a Mobile Qb?
Their answer will prove my point Mr. It doesnt matter one bit what anyone says right now. There have been dozens of guys coming in being called the next best thing and they dont make it. There have been dozzenss of guys who were said to not have what it takes and they are great. There is not telling what a team will get when they draft a QB. All we know for sure is this. The higher the player is drafted, the bigger the gamble. I hav seen Griffin play a few times. Like every Rookie coming out, he needs some work.
So does Luck and everyone else. Rare is a player that can come in and win games for their team. Even Newton, though he does good things, couldnt manage to win games for his team all by himself.
Apparently RGIII decided to take up football when he realized that he could make more money at it than track and field. The question becomes whether his recent devotion to football will last over a grueling 10 years or more.
Does he love the game as much as athletes who have been playing since Pee Wee or Pop Warner? There is always the risk that his motivation may wane after a string of injuries or poor games. He needs to go to a team with a good OL and a coach that will customize the offense to his skills.
The combine numbers are impressive, but this guy is a great competitor, which is what stands out about him most. Just imagine if he had that kind of sensible coaching from the start, much like what Newton got in Carolina his rookie year. I have seen a whole lot of comments saying that he is a running qb and vick lite and comparing him to a bunch of failed running qbs from the past. Everything that i have seen and read about him indicates that he is intelligent and is a good kid as well.
I think the things that will determine his level of success are the team he is on and his health. He will need to develop, be protected by a decent O-line and have an OC that game plans around his strengths, pretty much like any other qb coming out of college. He definitely has the ability to be an exceptional qb and he should be fun to watch.
I like how everyone says the team who picks Griffin should put in a system for him. Here is the thing. That doesnt work. If he wants to be a winner and win championships, he will have to adjust to the NFL, not the other way around.
Guys that made their name running the ball in college, then made their name household in the NFL, all learned to adapt to the pro game. Steve Young, Mike Vick. Young was a decent passer early, but Vick wasnt very consistent until he honed his passing skills. Throwing the ball is what is required in the NFL. Running QBs make people watch, but throwing QBs are what teams need to win today. It has seemed really obvious to me all along that this kid is a passer first.
I watched him all season and i hope he is successful in the NFL because he was a lot of fun to watch in college. There are a lot of misinformed people commenting that would be wise to take a look at the stats you posted before telling us all how miserably he is going to fail.
Some people will look at those stats, completely ignore them and continue to tell the rest of us that he is a running qb and that he is a bust. I know that is a difficult concept for some of you to get your minds around but look at his stats and watch some film, he can throw the ball! I am not sure what you all were watching last season but I saw a guy who was usually only running as a last resort. Only time will tell if he will be successful just like every other player going from college to the NFL.
Maybe the broncos can pick him up to give tebow a target at TE. The Redskins are supposedly willing to offer their first three picks in this draft, as well as their 1st round pick in and possibly more , to move from 6 to 2. Too much to give up for a team with so many needs. Now, if the Rams demand the 4 picks that the Redskins are offering, the Browns would probably have to add their 3rd round pick this year to one of the above trade scenarios. That just makes it all the worse.
If another team wants to sell off multiple picks from this year and next and move up to 2 or 3, Cleveland should let them. Great QB play covers up alot of holes, just ask the Colts. The teams who traded alot for very good QBs in recent memory, the Broncos for Elway and Giants for Eli Manning, certainly thought it was worth it since they each got two Lombardis out of the deal.
If Holmgren sees that kind of ability in the guy, you do that deal everyday of the week and twice on Sunday because you can fill the holes as you go.
To call him a better athlete than Vick is simply ridiculous, though. Come to think of it, that describes about six of the 32 teams in the NFL.
Too bad that only three of them get a shot at Griffin. He also has excellent Division I football knowledge. How that translates to the NFL remains to be seen.
It will be interesting to see how he plays in the NFL. Terelle Pryor ran 4. Cam, average at best Brunell, old before he came here Patrick Ramsey, I do not think he was ever considered promising. Robert Griffin III had an epic yard touchdown on Sunday to seal Washington 's victory over Minnesota , putting him on pace for 3, passing yards and 1, rushing yards this season, a feat that's never been achieved before.
But just how incredible was his run? Well, let's try and break it down real quick using the tried and tested MacGyverian method of combining video screenshots and an iPhone stopwatch. First things first: how fast did Griffin run the "yard dash"? At the combine, RG3 ripped off a breath-taking 4. He was nearly as fast on Sunday. Here's Griffin starting his "40," with on the clock and me freezing it as close as possible to when he hit the yard line.
Now, yes, Griffin got a running start, which you don't have at the combine. But he was also wearing pads and a full uniform at the time. Oh, yes, and he was looking back at the Vikings defenders who were helplessly chasing him most of the way. In other words, this isn't his maxed-out speed when he crossed the goal line at , just four game seconds later. My admittedly rudimentary stopwatch system clocked him at either a 4. Knock the method and the full-sprint start all you want, but the reality is that Griffin ran the final 40 yards of his touchdown run in just about four seconds.
Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III has fit in just fine with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and the Redskins are tossing out an offensive gameplan each and every week that is leaving defenses guessing and off-balance. The newly implemented zone-read scheme in Washington is made possible by Griffin and his unique combination of speed, decisiveness, and instinct.
With a cannon for an arm and arguably the most accurate quarterback of the ones considered "mobile," no other quarterback could operate this scheme quite like Griffin. And that's before we even mention the threat posed by way of his speed and elusiveness.
Which begs the question, just how fast is RG3? During his college career at Baylor, Griffin demonstrated his speed on both the football field and the track. En route to gaining national attention and eventually winning the Heisman Trophy in , Griffin was a fixture on highlight reels and top 10 play segments thanks in large part to his wheels.
This past February in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, Griffin broke records and became the second-fastest quarterback to ever participate in the event's forty yard dash with a time of 4. As if running roughly On 3rd-and-6 from his own yard line, Griffin takes the snap out of the shotgun, drops back, and immediately recognizes the coverage and gaping hole towards the left of the field. Like a shot from a gun, Griffin takes off and burns the Vikings' defense for 76 yards and a touchdown.
The play technically starts at the mark with Griffin dropping back, but he doesn't actually take off until And one can imagine that time to be even lower had he not changed directions and rather broke down the seam in a straight line without contact.
