    No way. They need a QB.

    That is just one example. I think her knowledge is poor. And her opinion of herself is high. She is not nearly as bad as Jamie Dukes though.

    I'm not really sure what "race baiting" means, but she has written on many stories where race was involved.

    She is better on TV than she is writing columns. At the same time, how can she not do better than the so called analysts on First Take? That show is a joke. Skip Bayless is there just to get people riled up.

    "Race baiting" to me is using race an issue, often in a very far-fetched and forced manner, to drum up controversy and attention. This article doesn't do it outright, but given her history, there are very strong implications in it.

    Wouldn't necessarily take RGIII over Luck, as Luck might have more success earlier. Though to hint that RGIII is a much inferior product would be a fatal mistake. RGIII does not compare Vince Young, unless we are simply talking about running ability. With RGIII, he seems a bit more mature and reasoned than VY. Even more so, I cannot remember a time in Vince Young's career, where he could throw deep passes, as accurately as Griffin, while being able to make any sort of throw on the field.

    At first, even I was skeptical about RGIII, but I've watched about 2 and 1/2 games of him. He's a pretty good passer. For the most part, his success will depend mostly on . . . what team he ends up with. If he can end up on a team with a good QB coach and pretty decent skilll players, he'll progress faster. If he ends up on a team with mediocre coaching, blocking, and skill-players , then he might take a minute to grow as an NFL QB.

    Decent breakdown article of RGIII and Matt Flynn, which is similar to the Luck comparison:
