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.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
