  • I don't know... They all 3 have done things to help get their teams where there are today. I don't know if one is really better than the other right now especially since all three seem to be in the perfect offensive system to match their talents. Luck will have the better future moving forward, but there's no way I can argue one against the other right now.

    I feel the same way, but I have been most surprised by Russell Wilson. I expected RGIII and Luck to come out guns blazing, but Wilson snuk in under the radar.

  • I expected Luck and RG3 to be good, but no way in heck did I ever expect them to do what they did this year. It's one of the most impressive year of rookie qbs that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Luck with his 4th quarter comebacks laced with RG3 making some unbelievable plays this year. If Garçon was healthy all year, the Redskins would have dominated their division hands down.

    True.....we will see how the game finishes tonight. That should give a little more food for thought. If the skins don't end up in the playoffs, My vote is Luck. If Skins make it....it is a little harder to choose.

  • I think Wilson has been really impressive and is a great fit for Seattle, but I don't think the Redskins or Colts would be where they are now if he was their QB.

    I give the edge to RG3 because of the turnovers, but Luck has been amazing as well.

    I to agree RW may not have had as much success somewhere else. RGIII has been very smart as a QB. The fact that he has won every game he has started says multitudes too.

  • Looks like RGIII and co. will pull this one off short of a huge FUBAR. So I think he will be a shoe in for Rook of the year.

  • While I believe Luck ultimately will have the higher season over the extent of his career, Wilson's numbers are a little better, maybe not as many pass yards but he tied Peyton's Rookie TD Pass record of 26 while only throwing 10 picks compared to Peyton's 28. It's close between all three Luck, Wilson, and RG3 I'd would take any one of them.

  • Bravo to all 3...amazing QB class. Some others arent too bad either just on bad teams but thise 3 guys have been amazing all season.

  • My vote goes to Luck and to me its not even close. No other quarterback in the NFL is asked to do more on a week to week basis than Andrew Luck. Luck attempted 224 more passes than RGIII and 225 more than Wilson. Now yes Luck threw 18 picks but so did Drew Brees. Luck was 7th in the league in passing yards (RGII was 21st and Wilson was 23rd). Luck broke Cam Newton's single season passing record (previously held by Peyton Manning until last year) through 15 games. Also lets not forget that Luck is playing on a 2-14 roster. 4 other rookies start on offense with Luck. He plays behind arguable the worst O-line in football (sacked 40 times). RGIII and Wilson both have 2 of the leagues top 4 rushers playing on their respective team (Marshawn Lynch 2nd, Alfred Morris 4th). Vick Ballard, the Colts leading rusher, is 23rd in the NFL. Not to mention Chuck Pagano, the Colts head coach, hasn't been there due to illness. Bruce Arians, the Colts O coordinator and Interim HC, has had to take over head coaching duties therefore causing him to have less time with his rookie QB. How much of a difference does that make? I'm not really sure, but I know it doesn't make it any easier. My last stat is Andrew Luck tied an NFL record this season with 7 game-winning drives in the 4th quarter or Over-Time, as a rookie, with a 2-14 roster, and 4 fellow rookie starters.

    That's my Luck argument

    All these stats are entering Sunday so some may have slightly changed*

    He is my choice based on everything you stated. His intangibles are special, and FB IQ is Peyton like. Not to mention the colts were only able to squeak out 2 wins last year. Now they are in playoffs after his first season under center. Unfortunately, it seems that RGiii is their media Darling. Not saying he's a shoe in, but Saturday will most likely make or break one of the 3.

    You're right about RGIII being a media darling. ESPN is in love with him.

    I'm glad I read this before posting because i was going to post something very, very similar. IMO, Luck is the best rookie QB. All 3 have been great, but when you look at everything you just posted, its kind of mind bottling (like when your thoughts get trapped in a bottle, thank you Chaz Michael Michaels for that term) how great he's been.

    It really is unbelievable how good he really has been
