you can, and people have tried, and it never works. a lot of offense in football has to do with chemistry and rythm, and if you're constantly swapping out qbs, you will never have that.
Sorry, these are excuses. RGIII can't read defenses, has poor foot work, and his pocket presence is awful. Contrary to what you guys claimed, he does not have the skills of Luck or Russell Wilson. Comparing RGIII to Luck at this stage really shows you how deficient RGIII is. He succeeded in his rookie year because Shanahan had a dumbed-down offense with a lot of bootlegs and designed runs.
lol, since when are excuses irrelevant and not worthy of being argued? of course they're excuses... and? so what? you ignore the excuses rather than correct them and give talent away to another team (like the colts did to peyton manning)?
i'm not arguing that rg3 isn't deficient. when you don't get the training necessary to unleash your potential, you are deficient.
andrew luck may be an incredible fantasy football quarterback, but he is still the most overrated quarterback on a consistent basis.
Who would you rather have than Andrew Luck?
Peyton
Brady
Rodgers
I can't think of anyone else as Brees can't play on the road for crap. If you want to break it down further, Rodgers would be the only one considering the age of the other two.
The Colts offensive line and run game are still bad. They have been bad since Luck has been in the NFL. They are not awful, just bad.
Luck has consistently had one of the easiest strength of schedules since he entered the league. I don't feel he's been tested enough to be labeled a quality quarterback, overall, or not. It's kinda like being on the Dean's List in a good community college and thinking that really means something in comparison to an ivy league university.
I can't say he sucks, but I can certainly say he's overrated. He doesn't have great accuracy or arm strength, but he has good pocket presence and decisiveness. That may be trainable.
RG3 sucks right now, but has incredible potential. Once he starts getting trained properly to get back to his former self and improve his footwork, he'll be awesome. He has to work on his pocket presence and decisiveness, but that's easily trained. He has to stop hitting the weights and start working on core fundamentals (wax the car, paint the fence, etc.). His ar strength is there and his accuracy is there, he just needs to work on his core stability and motor work. The horrible trainers at Redskins Park fucked it all up.

uh oh we got a butt hurt seahawks fan!
guess she forgot to read the thread title.
I didn't forget to read anything.
See: Poll options on the OP.
Your comment pretty much sums up the depth of the counter position of Wilson detractors. The first problem is even though Wilson is an option (he is the 3rd option in the poll) he doesn't even merit a place in the OP subject line despite his success since day 1. Wilson isn't given much thoughtful consideration--everyone gravitates to the big name 1st and 2nd pick guys.
And when some detailed information is given on Wilson instead of polite interaction Wilson haters resort to name calling and insults.
Which if that is the best his detractors can muscle then we can lock the poll and thread because the results are in: Wilson in a landslide. But it will drive some people batty to no end as he is a midget non-prototypical black quarterback who isn't a volume passer who critics continue to lump in with "running quarterbacks" and excuse his success as merely a byproduct of his team.
Ps- Luck is a good young QB. He has crazy upside. But his game is very different from Wilson's. You look at Luck's propensity for turnovers in year 1&2 and how Seattle has depended greatly on Wilson using his legs to capture key plays I don't think Seattle 2012 or 2013 is a better team with Luck. Seattle had a number of comeback games where Wilson has had to be a volume passer and he rarely throws picks even in those need-to-pass situations. And it isn't like Wilson has had a great line or good receivers since he got to Seattle.
Football is a team sport. Indy is lucky to have Luck. Seattle is fortunate to have Wilson and Wilson has been the best fit for Seattle out of the Luck-Griffin-Wilson triumvirate and that is emphatically accented by the fact Seattle got him in the 3rd round which allowed them to nab Bruce Irvin in the 1st and Bobby Wagner in the 2nd rounds in 2012. Not to mention Wilson's cap hit is $5mm less than Luck this year ($4mm last year). Which Seattle promptly spent on a Lambo (Harvin 1st-3rd-7th picks and ~ $20mm for 8 games in 2 years) which they traded in for some pocket lint and gumballs.
Trust me, he's overrated.

Trust you? Bwahahaha. Reading your comments in this thread, it is very clear you don't know much about football.
Lol, I know way more about player ability and potential than you do. I also know that any quarterback who throws 40 times a game because they lack a strong run game and because they play consistently awful secondaries doesn't mean that they're great quarterbacks just because they beat weak defenses.
How's the Browns game going? They have a good defense. How's that game going?
Luck is overrated. Pipe down.

seriously dude ... are you this dense?
the colts are 8-4 and are probably going to the playoffs AGAIN with luck at the helm, and you're seriously trying to say that he is overrated?
he might lead them to a win right now too with this drive they are on.
Look at their strength of schedule over the past three years.
Which team would be more likely to succeed, the team that plays the easiest defenses to beat in the NFL or the team that doesn't?
It will be a long time before the Colts make it to the AFC Championship.

EDIT:
yup, just threw for what is probably going to be the game wining touchdown with 30 seconds left.
Again, if you throw tons of times per game because you don't have a strong run game and you play weak defenses, then you should expect wins and tons of yards thrown.
