    Agreed...What could have been, but I'm happy for RGIII, appears to be a great person and humble...Plus his lady is nice...

    Honestly, this QB draft class, could be in the same tier or close to those of 04 and 83. Very much think so.

    I think Luck, Barkley, Griffin III, Jones, and Tannehill will range from multiple all-pro selections to decent starters. I think the skill set is their to be adequate NFL QB for all of them. Moreover, there are players, like Foles, Weeden, Lindley, Wilson, and Cousins who could very well become starters in this league, and be productive or better.

    Right now, considering Seattle, Miami, Arizona, Washington, *cough* San Francisco *cough*, *cough* Denver *cough*, Jacksonville (I know Glabbert is there, but I think most of the guys above are better), Cleveland, and even Tampa (Freeman has regressed in a troubling way) are some what unsettling at QB. Alot of these guys are going to be able to play right away, and can honestly say can they really be that much worse.

    With as much question marks surrounding Griffin III, as an NFL QB/passer, can anyone prove that he is a worse QB than say Tavaris Jackson, Chad Henne, or Tim Tebow. Moreover, the concerns about Griffin III, are things that aren't really passed in his mechanics, passing ability, decision making, and athleticism. I'm not understanding the criticism in some parts.

    Where is RG3 currently projected in the draft? It seems you have 2 traditional type superstars in Luck and Barkley and Griffin in the modern mobile QB category. Everyone else seems like a tier below.

    ^Which is why I think there's a slight chance that RG III returns. He should be the clear #1 the year after.

    Since he's ready for the NFL and will likely be an early 1st rounder, it makes no sense for RG3 to return. Especially since rookie salaries will be slotted.

    Congrats Baylor fans. RGIII is the real deal. Favorite college football not wearing burnt orange (GDGD really screwed that up). He made it easy to call it early.

    John Gruden was just drooling over RG III on MNF. Gruden briefly mentioned Luck but stated that RG III is gonna be special.

    He also said that he would go to Waco to coach him if he could.

    I'll put it here, because not sure where else to put it...but BU is the only school in the nation that has a football team in the top 20, a mens hoops team in the top 20, and womens hoops team in the top 20. :)

    Oh, and eff you, Jim Rome.

    I can't believe I missed the Andre 3000 likeness. He sounds and looks a lot like him with 40 pounds of muscle added.
