    Before you laugh from reading the title, lets take a look at his numbers


    No QB in the history of the NFL has been in the Top 10 in rushing, while also posting a QBR over 100. Never mind his great completion%, being 1st in YPC, and leading the NFL in TD/INT ratio %


    Is it fair to say, that the NFL has never seen a QB like RG3 before, he is not Vick, or Aaron Rodgers... but maybe a mix of both. His accuracy is something that can NOT be seen as a fluke. And the scary part is i dont expect RG3 to run as much as he did his rookie season going forward, that injury he sustained againist the Ravens and missing the Browns game.. might have been the best thing to happen to his career going forward. Young players in the NFL feel invincible, but when he saw that he had to miss a full game, i think he will make a concious effort to not expose himself any longer, and with how good a pocket passer he is... he really doesnt need too

    I think you mean passer rating. QBR is something different and maxes out at 100.

    Michael Vick led all QBs in rushing and had a passer rating over 100 just 2 years ago.

    Steve Young did in in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994. Leading the league in Passer rating each year.

    And how does this make him like Babe Ruth again?

    If he annually puts up numbers, like over 4,000 yards passing; 30 TDs; at least 63% cmp; 800-1000+ rushing yards; 10+ rushing touchdowns; and plays over 20 yards.

    If Cam Newton ever grows up and matures, i think he has the talent to approach those numbers

    Good lord, if you google it, it will autofill it for you. I put "was babe r.. and it already had "was babe ruth black?" as it's top choice.
