There was a lot of talk about this draft class, all these kids starting, how do you think they`re all doing so far? Grade em out.

Robert Griffin III: Shows tremendous talent, great leadership and good decision making. Only flaw right now in his game that is noticeable is he takes too many physical risks, but so far he's been the best of the batch.

Record 3-5

Stats: 97.3 passer rating 8tds/3pints 66.8$ Comp %. 6 rushing TD's

Grade A+

Ryan Tannehill A true surprise, this guy has very little talent around him and is making the most of of it. Miami looked like a true lost cause, but Tannehill has given them a good spark. a 400 yard game vs. AZ and showing a lot of consistency and accuracy. Leading his team to a surprising 4-3 (I know Moore is one of those 4 wins)

Record 4-3

Stats: 75.8 passer rating 4/6 59.1%

Grade B+

Andrew Luck Not the best stats wise, but you can clearly tell this guy can lead a team and can make every throw possible and will develop into a great player, has his team in the playoff hunt @ 4-3 doubling his teams win count from last season and throwing for the most YPG of any rookie and 282ypg, still making mistakes that hurt his team though

Record 4-3

Stats: 74.6 passer rating 8/7 55.6%

Grade B

Russel Wilson The guy who came out of nowhere, he is the most inconsistent of the QB's on the list. He`ll have a great game (NE) then have a pretty crappy one (Carolina). His personal stats don't look too bad, but his team ranks 30th in offensive YPG (lowest of any rookie lead team) 31st in passing yards per game (lowest of any rookie led team) and 27th in PPG (lowest of any rookie led team)

Record 4-4

Stats Passer rating 82.4 10/8 61.4%

Grade C+

Brandon Weeden The most lackluster of all the QB's and the oldest. He hasn't done much, he looked impressive in a game or two but overall his team is not winning and he isn't playing well. Lowest rated rookie QB in passer rating and 2-6

Record. 2-6

Stats: 70.8 passing rating 9/10 55%

Grade C-

Mark Sanchez Worst than all of them, a walking disgrace.

Record 3-5

Stats 72.8 passer rating 10/8 52.9%

Grade F

Shocking too cause nothing about him made you think he was gonna be a good QB.

nope shyt suprised me too

i think he gotta good coach too. Philbin used to coach Rodgers and they kinda got the same skillset active in pocket, live arm, can run for yards

performance-wise,

1. RG3
2. Wilson=Luck=Tannehill
5. Weeden

but honestly overall its a strong ass class, prolly strongest in years.

I like all of them in a sense that all have potential to be good. even weeden looked pretty good for a rookie

:usure:

Not according to touchdown/int ratio, yards, touchdowns, QBR, passer rating, rushing touchdowns, or wins

So if by playing better you mean playing worse you are spot on

well we have twice the amount of rushing TDs you have and Luck is the player on your team with the most of em so you can't blame Tannehill for having a running game

plus our defense is elite so we don't need much points scored hence we don't air it out nearly as much as you guys do

I think I haven't seen Tannehill make 5 bad passes total all year, I've seen Luck throw some :scusthov: ducks


but tell me, what's your argument as far as Luck being better than RG3

I feel like Tannehill is being a little overrated right now. He isn't asked to do as much as the other QB's. 4TD's 6INT's and he's 30th in the league with only 203 pass attempts. He has been ok, but nothing great. And to say he's playing better than Luck is ridiculious.

On the other hand I think Weeden is being underrated. Of all the rookies he's 2nd in TD's, 2nd in yards(12th in the league), and 2nd in YPG. He does have 10 INT's, 4 of which were in his 1st game. But lets be honest here, Weeden has been pretty good. We should've beat Indy but Josh Gordon dropped a perfect TD pass from Weeden. Little dropped a TD against Baltimore which would've given us a better chance to win. Not Weedens fault the Browns are 2-6, had we had Haden for those 4 games he missed and receivers who could catch then we would have 2-3 more wins.

Weeden will be fine, Gordon is a future #2 field stretcher and now they have Richardson rolling. Benjamin might work in the slot, still needs more ammo. he looked lost in his debut but has been pretty solid since

Tanny has a better run game than the others, but probably the weakest weapons to throw to. his fav target is Brian Hartline, think about that for a second. Luck gets to play with Reggie Wayne and his college TE

all in all i think all 4 are players, its a really nice class. Griffin is the most dynamic QB to enter the league since Vick, he is electric and has a chance to far surpass what Michael has done
