andrew luck is the future
I agree a QBs intellect is sometimes overlooked by raw athleticism, not that he is not a great athlete. I feel like this is the best class of mobile QBs that can actually throw the ball with some accuracy, they will be fun to watch for awhile.

absolutely, they are all great and have talent, but knowledge is power behind that line.

Wilson = A+
Luck = A
RG3 = A
CK = 2nd year QB A+
As a Wolfpack fan watching CK in the pros has been a treat. Not so much a 49er fan until CK got to play. hehe But Wilson acts like he's been in the league for 5 years. Best rookie QB I've ever seen. I got to watch Wilson and Luck beat my team but the Vikes beat the 9ers before CK started playing.

They're all really good quarterbacks.
I don't know about the argument that Luck did more with less. Luck happens to play in a absolutely horrible division, and he gets to play those teams twice each season. He did have a couple impressive wins, but in general the teams he played in his division were horrible teams. The Redskins beat the eventual super bowl champs Ravens, and honestly if RG3 didn't hurt his knee in the beginning of the Seatle game (yes, he already hurt his knee before he threw the 2nd touchdown, you could see in the third quarter when he ran he was severely hurt already, he was running at like 30% of his normal speed, Shanahan should have taken him out after he threw his second touchdown), the Redskins would have beat Seatle. The first couple of drives, Seatle could do nothing to stop the redskins offense.

I forgot to update this thread about the Rookie of the Year award.
RG3 officially won it!!
BTW, yes, Wilson is the only one of the rookies that got a playoff win, but RG3 was hurt even before he threw that 2nd touchdown--Shanahan should have pulled RG3 before half time--he was hurt already. Had RG3 not been injured, the Redskins would have won that game quite easily, Seatle had no answer to stop the Redskins offense. Once RG3 got hurt however, it was over, because not only could RG3 not run, but he couldn't throw either, because you have to plant your foot of your right leg to throw the ball accurately.
Dare I say it, if RG3 had not gotten hurt in the Seahawks game, not only would they have won that game, but seriously, no team could figure out the Redskins offense. Could anyone have stopped them? The Redskins already beat the eventual champion Ravens earlier in the season. Yes, RG3 had a bad game statistically against Pittsburgh, but the reason is that his receivers dropped 12 freakin' passes in that game, including a drop by TE Fred Davis for a sure touchdown--Davis was running free into the endzone at the goal line, RG3 put the ball right into his hands, and Davis freakin' drops it. That was the worst game I've ever seen regarding receivers dropping the ball, many drops on third down that would have been first downs extending the drives, changing the whole complexion/flow of the game.
Tell that to my Broncos
Anyway, do you guys think that Geno Smith will beat out Sanchez for the starting gig in NYJ?

I really hope EJ does well. I think he was taken a little too high in the draft but being a Bills fan we are just really desperate for a quarterback of the future. I am just excited for him and that we finally drafted one instead of trying to turn castoffs into franchise quarterbacks.
