They hated Cam, but love RG3?


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

WTF???!?!! Anyone else notice this? I didn't watch a ton of college ball this year, and only maybe a Quarter of Baylor, so I don't know much about RG3 other than highlights on Youtube/ESPN, but from the looks of it he has the same skill set of...Camron Newton. How...in the hell is it possible for Cam to basically go on trail last year, but everybody is moist over basically the same guy the very next year..

they're only similar in that they're both black and athletic. RG3 runs way less and is viewed as a PURE PASSER with the added benefit of having trackstar speed. cam was viewed as more of a run-first qb because of the offense he played in and his stats.

Well he's a different type of QB than Cam. Cam has been a big play, around 60% completions type of guy, while RG3 has been a very accurate, 70%+ completions type guy.

I'm sure that will change at least for a while when RG3 gets to the NFL, but you gotta remember, for like the first 5 or 6 games he had more touchdowns than he had incompletions. That's just insane.

    • Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year. 
    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
