This season was actually harder than last season as far as SOS for RG3. Again, it goes back to the training and injuries afflicting the team, RG3 included.
Russell Wilson has that kind of intelligence too. Luck had a bad game a couple of weeks ago, Wilson has had stretches when he wasn't so hot. If they stay healthy, they're both going to be among the league's most successful QB's.football intelligence != book smart intelligence.
luck CLEARLY has vastly superior football intelligence than RG3.
Kind of unrelated, but it IS the holiday season -- here is what Andrew Luck was doing the day after the Colts were destroyed (against Dallas) in one of the worst Colts games I can remember:
He and several Colts went to the Riley Hospital for Children and went around singing Christmas Carols and meeting very, very sick kids.
Awwww, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. That's great they are doing that. I bet RG3 was doing the same too
The NFL compels them to do charity work...

It's funny that you sat that, because I think Andrew Luck is just like Matt Stafford.
No doubt he's a genuinely good guy. Anytime someone makes a great play on him or they get a sack, he gives them props and tells them they're doing a great job lol
Currently, without question. You can't say it for sure, though, because neither of them have shown you what they're fully capable of. So, for now, absolutely, Luck is better than RG3, without a doubt. I'm interested in seeing how it all plays out, though.
Luck is not as good as he is given credit for, yet. That's why I say he's overrated. He hasn't shown you what he can or can't do; give him an average to hard schedule and then see what's up.
RG3 needs better coaching and trainers. No one on the Redskins has shown great coaching and training... Does that mean everyone on the Redskins is a bum? No, it means that they coaching and training staff blows goats and there must invest in quality trainers and coaches if they expect to win and keep players healthy.
"having been there and being a former doctor to a couple of the players and former official chiropractor and physical therapy provider to the redskins, i have some first-hand knowledge"
Why would you be a doctor to a couple of the players? You're just a chiropractor, why would they come to you for medical advice when they have actual doctors on staff? Also, why are you a "former" doctor and "former official chiropractor"? If you say the teams trainers and doctors are terrible, why did they get rid of you? Are you sure you aren't just bitter that they got rid of you? Not that I believe any of it regardless.
After this thread of yours, I would like to call for a new official ATOT chiropractor and think you should remove the title from your signature.

the greatest receiver of all time (Megatron).
probably the dumbest thing i've heard so far. "he doesn't have the pure passer skill that luck has" lol... wow. what an idiot.
lol, you have no idea what you're talking about.
these commentators, former players, coaches, etc. have been saying that rg3 has talent and potential and he's just not there yet. secondly, i have more knowledge when it comes to rehab than the trainers at redskins park... having been there and being a former doctor to a couple of the players and former official chiropractor and physical therapy provider to the redskins, i have some first-hand knowledge.
fundamentals, like footwork, is tied to his core stability, which was weak. pocket presence, however, is something he has developed but still can't trust with a sorry excuse for an offensive line... every quarterback who started ended up learning the lesson not to trust the offensive line, whether it was rg3, mccoy, or cousins. it isn't because they all suck, it's because if you can't trust the pocket, you don't have mental clarity to know who to throw to because you're constantly watching your back and your line.
until the offensive line gets figured out and rg3 plays a complete season, i don't feel it's fair to declare him a bust. if he stays healthy and the offensive line improves and he still gets sacked a lot and has bad footwork, THEN i'll be fine with calling him a bust. his footwork and release has improved significantly, though, so he's clearly learning from his mistakes.
gray cook and greg rose both told me, when they did the fms on him after his knee was rehabbed, that he scored close to perfect and should have no problem being developed back to his normal playing for. unfortunately, rg3 wasn't there mentally... he was still shellshocked from the knee injury and wasn't fully ready to return.
the trainers should be focusing on rg3's core stability, cross-crawl patters, and stabilizing his genu valgus collapse with some lateral mobility/glute medius training. they aren't however. instead, they've got him lifting weights, which does next to nothing for him, and they have him lifting incorrectly, i might add.
i'm not arguing that rg3 is awesome. i'm arguing that rg3 has loads of potential that isn't being tapped into. if you have an investment on a player like him, you have to protect and develop it properly. well, the redskins are not. i've written letter after letter to dan snyder to get new atc's and better physical therapists... didn't get any response.
i'm not arguing that andrew luck sucks. i'm arguing that andrew luck is overrated. his pocket presence and mechanics are good and he's got solid core stability, but he doesn't have accuracy and he hasn't had a difficult schedule in the nfl yet. does that mean he sucks? no. it means he's overrated. does he have potential? yes.
russell wilson has it all, so far. his team and trainers have tapped into russell wilson's potential. the seahawks are a disciplined team who prehabs and even gets players to see sports psychologists in order to get them into an optimal mental space when they go out and play. whatever negative things i may have said about him in the past (which i don't remember if i did or didn't, i'm just going off of what andrew luck's jock strap, indycoltsfan, said), i was wrong about that. he's awesome.
i just believe that rg3 can be the same type of player that russell wilson, except faster and with a stronger arm, so long as he has trainers and coaches who will develop him to get to that form. it's the reason why i really, really want darrell bevell as the head coach in washington.
I subbed in RG3 for Peyton Manning and he won me the Fantasy Football championship!!
That means RG3 is the winnar in this thread
Congrats on winning but WTF were you thinking making that move? Your opponent must have been like this:
I
PFM had been fairly bad the last couple of weeks. I think broncos are purposely playing conservatively so they don't show too much before the playoffs. They can do that with cj Anderson showing his version of beastmode. RG3 has been playing better and he was playing for a starting spot next year. I actually had Romo and dropped him for RG3, thinking dallas would sit him since they clinched. I need tell the commish it is really stupid to go all the way to week 17
Definitely a gamble i thought to myself i must be crazy, but it worked. LoL
