I don't know much about it of course but what's so great about Luck?
Looked like he sucked last Sunday, a bunch of way off passes.

Pretty poor rating and percentage. He has the yards but he's not beating Stafford there. Though he did win

I think the government is fairly arrogant to declare that the world will not end on Dec 21st...;) I mean, I think the chances are overwhelmingly in favor of the world continuing on past Dec 21st, but should the forces of nature, or the planning of sentients who are far in advance of us fairly primitive earthlings decide otherwise...well, just what can the government do about that? Not a whole lot, I'd say...:D
US banks post $37.6 billion in third-quarter profits
Los Angeles Times - ‎19 minutes ago‎
Four years after a massive federal bailout, banks are recording near-record profits - a development welcomed by regulators but met with fresh demands by critics that the financial firms do more to benefit mainstream America.

I don't think his success will continue as teams start analyzing him more and finding weaknesses, etc. Or he may just flop next year like Cam has.
no way - that's such a superficial comparison. cam's never been a great passer. he's all physicality with rocks for brains; just a bigger Vick. RG3's passing stats show he's passer first and runner second. he doesnt need the wheels, but his accuracy and efficiency are better than Luck's, who's your supposed classic pocket passer. and if you watch him play, you'd know unless by design, he doesn't want to scramble. he stays in the pocket as long as he can before running. he's no 1-read and scoot numbskull like newton.
RG3's throwing stats are high because of his ability to run. Defenses bite on play action and option plays which leaves him with wide open receivers which are easy targets. He is a good passer but without his mobility and threat to run I highly doubt his passing stats would be as good as they are now.
ding ding ding. The "Pistol" pocket setup allows him to run like mad and makes the defense play the run. Thus he gets to pass....

still far superior to newton who runs basically the same offense, but dumbed down.

Eh, RG3 is gonna spend at least half of his career on the sideline with various injuries. He takes huge hits left and right. If he stays healthy, he could be a beast though.

This shit is so fucked. When I was a kid winter around Cleveland meant snowdrifts on the side of my house that went over my fuckin head, and snow sometimes falling while trick or treating. Now it's fucking Dec 4th, sixty out, and pouring.

Both Luck and RG3 are just incredible, incredible QBs. Barring anything unforeseen, they are going to win quite a few MVPs between them.

RG3 is doing what he's doing on a team thats light years head of the Colts. IMO Luck deserves the Rookie of the year award. Colts are playoff bound, Redskins, very unlikely.
