RG III > Cam Newton

On whether there's any reason for Robert Griffin III to stay at Baylor:

Gosselin: I can’t see it. His stock will never be higher than it is now. I’m against kids leaving school early, especially quarterbacks that want to spend the four years getting their degree because football will only last so long. He’s got his degree, he’s always won the Heisman as the best player in college football. He’s at the very top of his game, both academically and athletically. There’s no point in coming back, especially with an NFL now that covets him. They’re looking at what The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam Newton are doing, this is a better version of Cam Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol. His stock is driven up, and I think he’s going to be a top 10 pick.

Moore: This guy has a better arm, can make some throws that Cam Newton doesn’t make. Let’s take it one step further. No knock on Cam Newton at all, but let’s get Robert Griffin in a room and interview him. This guy’s going to be off the charts. How can you not be impressed with how he purports himself, everything he’s about, how he handles himself? It’s going to be astronomical for him. I think personnel guys are going to meet this guy and go, “There is no downside with this guy and we’ve seen we can have success in the league with this. Let’s be ahead of the curve, let’s not be behind the curve.”

Yep. Better then Cam Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol for you The Golden Calf of Bristol lovers out there.

Cam can make every throw in the book......not sure why they would be dumb enough to claim this kid can make more throws. They could claim be more consistant.

Cam's size is a HUGE advantage over RG3. Typical draft hype. Paint one to be a superstar or villan and run with it......

He is pretty good. If he is better than Cam, then I think it would only help Cam get better. If he's not then doesn't matter because Cam is going to get better. However I hope either him or Barkeley stays. 3 QB's would probably hurt the value of our draft pick.

I think RG3 can be very succesful but I don't understand the hate on Cam because he has done well this season. I might agree that RG3 can end up being a better passer than Cam and The Golden Calf of Bristol but he does't have Cams scramble and rushing ability nor does he have Tebows Clutch ability to win games. Not to mention Cam and The Golden Calf of Bristol have already proved they can be a sucessful NFL QB, well Cam has, The Golden Calf of Bristol could just be having a great season and I have yet to see him beat a team that hasn't beat themselves and he has yet to prove that he can win games with his arm which he will eventually have to do when the run game and defense fail.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
