Jaguars Vs. Falcons Score: Ouch, Falcons lead 27-0

Blaine may not be getting a lot of help, but I really don’t think he has much of a future either. Kid makes bad decisions, has horrible footwork… could go on but I’d be “preaching to the choir”.

To think Gabbert was higher on most draft experts’ picks than Locker…

Whimper got beat badly on a sack on the first drive pretty bad. Overall the line play has not been very good

You’re being flamed because you’re so obviously bitter about Garrard being dumped.

You bring up a lot of valid points. Yeah he does have a rather large problem of running into sacks and the like. But then again I really don’t think the Gene would have drafted him unless he thought those instincts could be coached out of him. And it also might have helped if he had an actually QB coach this season.

but still Aaron was sacked 50 times and he did ok that year (cutler could still function somewhat with his pocket skills that year and this year running for his life)

It was on his scouting report but the hope was that he suppress those instincts and become a more prototypical NFL QB. Maybe if he had a decent QB coach for the this season he could have been better

the very concept of “running quarterback” not being perfered is based on the context in the first place. The notion that “those type” of quarterbacks can’t process reads and take off and run….or then aren’t smart enough and can only look at one guy and run… it is all comedy because the very idea of generalizing any human being as “this type of quarterback”is so short sighted really.

The truth is everyone is unique and RG3 is the best that i have ever seen in this mold….. i compare him to Rich Gannon…. tho many blind racist people will compare him to Vick (even tho Vick only passed for 16 TD in his last 2 years in college and RG3 passed for 58 to date…and is only one of 3 to EVER have 10000 yards passing and 2000 career rushing in college)…. but some will compare him to every black quarterback they can rattle off because it will make them sound smart too their friends… but the truth is…. if you really look at his game without blinders you see a young Rich Gannon….. and he was prettttty good

That’s not a running QB?

Note by the way, I said “running” QB not “run-first.” There is a difference. Run-first QBs are an issue in the NFL because their focus is often on making a play with their legs when things break down.
A running QB is a player who can be an effective runner, and is called upon to carry the ball in college. Generally, I don’t like those players. They tend to get injured more often and ultimately in the NFL what’s important is your arm, not your wheels.
What has drawn me to RG III is that even in an offense that has him running, he still keeps his eyes downfield, Roethlisberger style. He won’t be Big Ben, because Ben is a more powerful guy than Griffin is, but the ability to keep your eyes downfield while on the run is huge at any level.

Half this site is hilarious.
