? A pro quarteback needs the ability to make pre-snap reads and coverage check downs. That's what really makes the difference between the college strong arms and 10 year starters.
What do you base that assumption on? I like Yates but you can't outright say he is better than both. Griffin has some serious upside.
You know, I had my doubts about RG3 at the NFL level, but I'm starting to come around. I could see him absolutely murdering people with a guy like Andy Reid. If he ends up in the wrong system, it would be a monumental waste of talent.

At least with Eddie George and Pat Forde. Maybe if RGIII closes with strong games against Tech and UT, anything can happen. Matt Barkley definitely won't win it, but he's been the best QB in the nation the last 4-5 weeks. I'm convinced both he and RGIII are better at throwing the ball downfield than Luck. They have superior arm strength. Clearly Luck's ability to be a coach on the field (in college) puts him in a special class by himself.
OK, this is surprising. 5/6 of the CBS Sports guys have Griffin as their #1 candidate right now. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/heisman Griffin is way ahead as the consensus leader, following by Trent Richardson who has a big lead on Luck/Moore/Wheedon who are tied for 3rd.
It's a toss up between him, Luck and Keenum. You can't ignore the historic season and numbers Keenum is putting up.
He is having a terrific season. No doubt. But the SoS is not close. If we win out and RG III wins the Heisman, Griffin might bounce to the pros. It would be a bitter-sweet feeling but great for the program in the long-term. http://heismanpundit.com/2011/11/23...-latest-heismanpundit-com-heisman-straw-poll/
