As a lifetime fan of the Redskins I was both elated and amazed by RG3 and the up tempo Qb show that his pro day
was. At one point when the camera panned toward Mike Shannahan, it appeared to me that although poker faced Shanny tried to act, he had to gnaw at his hand to keep from
breaking into a big grin. It became very apparent, transparent that Shannahan the acknowledged quarterback guru
was thinking please, please let Luck
Go number 1! RG3 zipped his passes
all over the field with laser like accuracy and flow that was quite electric. The speed of his rollouts, his footwork, and his overall throwing mechanics are flawless. Even at a sprint when he releases the ball his
throwing technique is textbook perfect.
As a fan of the Washington Redskins
I have never been more excited about
a prospect. The last franchise type Quarterback the Skins had running the offense was Joe Theisman who's career was prematurely ended, by Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1985! This Baylor program in my opinion with its terrible defense was
able to beat powerhouse Oklahoma the preseason number 1 , because of what RG3 can do. Baylor was able to beat an OKlahoma team that has great athletes all over the field. This should be an eye opener, as Baylor
had never beaten Oklahoma, and
had not been to a bowl game since 1992! Yesterday was a great day for Redskin fans because Luck had a great Pro day, The
"Suck for Luck" plan secretly was
engaged as soon as the Colt organization realized Peyton was not
going to play. Colt's organization made a shrewd decision to put in place a player that many believe is the most can't lose
prospect since 1998 when Peyton was
drafted the number one overall. I think Luck will be a great player but in watching
both players what can Luck do, that RG3 is not able to trump? Let's compare RG3 worlds class speed vs
Luck nice mobility for a large Qb. RG3
40 combine 4.41 official vs Luck 40 of 4.59. RG3 bested Luck in major statistical categories throwing the football and was able to win the
Heisman Trophy. RG3 graduated in three years with a real degree and is working on a masters. Coming out of a military family background he seems
to have the intangibles, work ethic, and attitude that will help him fully develop
his potential at the next level. I love this move and will hold my breath until draft day. One last note on RG3 arm throwing motion is much better than Luck's arm motion. Luck has a release motion that is a little sideways across
his body.
