    Dude reminds me of Steve Smith (Carolina).

    Not huge, but he can make *any* catch... excellent hops, speed, and has a knack for getting YAC.

    They should let them score.

    No way RGIII comes back to Baylor. Don't even try to compare to Luck.

    Luck is loaded.
    Luck is at Stanford.
    RGIII only went to Baylor cause he followed Briles.

    He just said recently that he plans to attend Baylor law school next fall. Only time will tell.

    Didn't you proclaim that Baylor was gonna be homeless and screwed. How did that work out for you?

    He was supposed to go to law schoolmthis year but he was talked out of it. He's a smart kid. He isn't going to law school if there is millions on the table

    They all say that. That is why no one believed Luck was gonna stay.

    He said in a recent interview that was shown during the Rice game that he's enrolling in law school after he finishes his masters. He didn't even use the words plan to. Leinart is another example. It's not a foregone conclusion as CaseyH suggested. That's all I'm saying.

    Not sure if I want him anymore. Not clutch, he couldn't stop the other offense from scoring. (insert silly smiley.)

    Seriously, that was a great game he had. Hopefully he does enter the draft. It's a passing league, the nfl and he's perfect for it.

    He is an amazing athlete and QB, but he is full of drama, all those getting up slowly bits....just find that amusing.

    Unless he's not interested in the NFL at all even after next year, there's not really any point of going to 1 year of law school.

    You can argue that there was no point of him graduating HS early, getting his bachelors degree early, and finishing his masters. He is a different athlete. I think that is abundantly clear.


    @DD, full of drama? Dude is the opposite of that. Works and studies hard and doesn't think that he's owed everything in life like most high-profile athletes do. Your boy Vince is full of drama.

    When asked about his inoppurtune pick --> "I take sole responsibility for that," he said. "I'm the leader of this team. I'm the guy that's in the Heisman race, so I've got to help us win that game, and we didn't win it. So you can look at a billion different things, but if you're going to point the finger, point it at me, because I'll take the praise and I'll take the blame as well." Ya what a drama king :rolleyes:

    Why? The point of all those things is that he finished those things. He got a degree, etc. Going to 1 year of law school is not going to do much unless he plans to go to the other 2 years of it, meaning the NFL is off his radar. And maybe that's the case, which is great for him. But if he's planning on going to the NFL, 1 yr of law school wouldn't make a lot of sense.

    Unfortunately theres no way he wins the Heisman... Baylor's defense and special teams will will make sure of that... I think 8 wins is a longshot but he's defiinitely 1st round talent...

    I am only talking about on the field, when he goes down, he exagerates the hit at times.....plays the refs.

    Not that he isn't great, he is the best looking QB prospect I have seen in a long time.

    Dude just has "IT"......

    Donny mentioned why would Robert Griffin return with Kendall Wright leaving. It might be worth mentioning that Baylor has a 4 star recruit at WR coming in named Corey Coleman (4.3 - 40). Baylor has also moved up to #28 in recruiting for the 2012 class. I could see Baylor moving up even further.

    I understand your point. My point was really that he's a different type of athlete. Chasing money doesn't seem to fit with his personality. The NFL will be there regardless.

    yeah, who wants a tremendously accurate qb who can throw it down field?
