RGIII beats Andrew Luck

[AFKAR7]

It wouldn't surprise me if teams made adjustments to it and it went away. Honestly, I don't think it will be here forever in Washington either. My understanding is that it was implemented to help RGIII transition to the NFL. I doubt they thought it would be as successful as it's been recently.

My guess is that if defenses don't adjust, they will stick with it next year, but otherwise, they will transition to a more traditional offense once they feel RGIII is more comfortable. We will see though...

I agree and see it as much as a gimmick as the wildcat was/is right now. Film is out and at some point defenses will adjust and start shutting it down. I thought the Ravens did that well enough after the first quarter. Unlike many here I think the guy will learn the position better and will play QB in a more traditional sense. I will say after watching him yesterday I would be concerned about how well he will hold up over his career.

Again I would take Luck over him 100 out of 100 times and while Washington fans won't admit it now, they would have also given the choice.

Any sane NFL fan would take Luck hands down, and if they actually watched him play, probably Russell Wilson over RG III.

Are you playing with a full deck or don't you realize that London Fletcher and RG Vick Jr are the same race? Are you oblivous that I touted Fletcher for being the player of the game? So I am a racist because I tout one player as having a great game and another as having a lesser game and each are of the same race???

That is whacko talk son! Not to mention that Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Suggs, and Ngata are my favorite Ravens! You need to get a grip! Instead of being happy over the win, you are more irrate that I have just shown I am spot on in pointing out that your boy RG III needs to stop his stupid attempts at playing running back in the NFL. Otherwise he is hurting your team and just another gimmick QB.

Quarterbacks are always treated differently by racists like you.

I can give you dozens of stats showing how Griffin is a great rookie, how Griffin has lead the team to a better offense than they have had in over ten years and how he is an overal fantastic quarterback and you will ignore all of them. Outside of being an idiot, the only explanation is you're a racist. Game, set, match, son.

No, we will take our QB who plays QB better. Our defense couldn't survive all of Luck's interceptions, especially the pick 6's he seems to like throwing.

I wouldn't really call it a gimmick. I mean, it's kind of like a half-shotgun right? I mean, it doesn't seem that crazy gimmicky to me.

I am inclined to agree, however not so much when you think about it this way: RGIII was running a lot more early in the season. The concussion seemed to wake everyone up to the dangers of having him run a lot. His running has really decreased. Now the play he was injured on - the Redskins were driving late in the 4th quarter with their season in the balance. What great football player wouldn't put it all out there like he did on that play? Sometimes it's worth the risk. If he gets injured on the play and his season ends... well, that sucks. If he doesn't make the first down, the season is pretty much over anyway and that sucks too. I think he's taking more calculated risks than he was, and it will only continue to improve.

Again I would take Luck over him 100 out of 100 times and while Washington fans won't admit it now, they would have also given the choice.

I think this is a stretch. I would in no way be unhappy if they took Luck over RGIII in the draft (like they had a choice anyway). However, RGIII has re-energized the team and the fanbase in a way that really no other player could have done, IMO. Long-term, Luck may be the better QB, but for the Redskins in their situation, RGIII was the perfect fit (IMO) just like Luck is the perfect fit in Indy.

Ironically, Virginia Tech and Falcons fans accused people of not liking Vick because he is black. I was able to provide stats showing that he was a mediocre quarterback who ran. RG3 haters/detractors can't do that.

I thought you just told me stats don't matter after Flacco out-"statted" your overated boy by a wide margin yesterday??? Didn't you say wins were the only thing that mattered? You sure are fickle when trying to spin things your way. Sorry, it isn't working for ya, hate to break that news flash that RG III is a mediocre pocket passer who runs too much and causes himself unnecessary injury, because he is too stupid to know when to slide. He like you is apparently not the brightest bulb in the pack.

One of these days you are going to be forced to face the truth and admit it. I am spot on correct and you are dead on wrong!!

[HAIL2BNG]

Flacco's stats were not that much better. Griffin threw for more yards and no interceptions and his team won. Flacco had more touchdowns but fewer yards and a pick. Griffin had a 102 QB rating and Flacco 121. There was no wide margin of anything but I wouldn't expect you to understand that, son.

Wilsion is a different animal, that's for sure...

I think RG III is doing more with less (around him) though I have no stats to back up that assertion.

Apparently he doesn't understand it either:

Aaron Wilson, reporter: The Ravens squandered a lead and a potential win for the second consecutive week despite quarterback Joe Flacco outdueling dynamic rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, exploiting mouthy Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall for two touchdown passes to veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Because of a 64-yard punt return allowed in overtime, the Ravens lost the football game. It was a disastrous ending as Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a touchdown pass at the end of regulation followed by his two-point conversion run to tie the score. It's yet another setback for a Baltimore team trying to position itself for the postseason.

Flacco was sharp overall with three touchdown passes, albeit still in need of better pocket awareness and some upgraded pass protection from left offensive tackle Michael Oher. The defense was impressive against Griffin, containing his rare athleticism as Arthur Jones and Paul Kruger each had 1 1/2 sacks. By the end of the game, Griffin was limping around and covered in mud and had to leave the game with a sprained right knee when he got shaken up. The Ravens struggled mightily against bullish rookie running back Alfred Morris.


Read the bolded part junior Redskin fan and you might learn something for a change or maybe get it through that mulehead of yours that you are consistently wrong. I told you this before the game for weeks and yet you still don't believe it when it happens right in front of you and the game stats even prove it! (Not that I care that much about stats but you seem to live and die by them, so now you just died!) Just be happy your team won the game by the great play of your backup QB, Pierre Garcon, London Fletcher, your OL and special teams. They played superbly. Nothing else stood out as all that much for your team otherwise. Sorry, just the reality of it son. Deal with it.

So the Raven's beat reporter had a pro-Raven's take on the game? Shocking!!!!!!

Flacco had a fine game. Why are Raven's fans calling for his (and Harbaugh's) head? Seems nuts to me.

[HAIL2BNG]

Those bolder parts don't tell me squat. I forgot about Flacco fumbling the ball. That was clutch. I'd say turning the ball over in a position to clinch the game is pretty pivotal. Too bad Flacco isn't more mobile like say Robert Griffin, then he could avoid blowing games.

Too bad your fragile bird legged QB can't take a hit like Flacco and not get knocked out of games. Or maybe he could it he wasn't running around like a fool. He is going to do your team a world of good standing on the sideline when the game is on the line. Oh, wait, he did just that and got bailed out by his backup, Garcon, your defense, and special teams play. Wow, he is one lucky son of a gun. I wonder how long his luck will hold out? He has already been knocked out of more games in his rookie season than Flacco has his entire career Einstein, but I guess that is not important to ya eh?? BTW, how many games have Luck and Wilson been knocked out of? Maybe you ought to be looking at those stats too genius!!

Keep ignoring facts and stats. They ruin your hate filled argument, Hadley.

What part of the facts are not supported that your boy is far more injury prone than Flacco, or for that matter, Luck or Wilson? Who are you anyway, Hail2BNG or the Queen of Denial?

31-28. Griffin played great. Deal with it while chaos reigns in your house

Yeah genius, if he played so great how come his backup QB is really more of the game winning hero than he was? Splain that one Lucy!

Oh, same as with the defense and your special teams. They were the real heroes of the game, not Gimp. Go back to your Skins board and enjoy your lucky win. The Browns will probably beat you next game anyway! I sure hope Gimp is able to play.

no argument Colts Go Away (leaving Crows)!

A team win for sure and many game balls distributed

RG played great until he couldn't and then Next Man Up!

And the Browns are playing well-- heck, if the Steelers with Batch at QB can beat the mighty Brown Crows, then for sure the new Browns might beat the Skins, RG or no RG.

He blows, get over it and just to piss you off I'm going to put his new kneecap in backwards!

Then he will need to officially change his name to:

Robert "Gimp" Griffith III. At least he can keep the same initials only it will be RGG III !

He may also need to have his vision tested so he won't again miss a flying Haloti Ngata coming right at him like a deadly missile!
