Luck = 99% sure he'll be good-> great QB. Has a chance to be elite = safe bet = #1 pick

RGIII = 50/50 chance he'll be elite. 90% sure he'll be good. = a top 3-5 pick.

Most GMs will take Luck but RGIII isn't far behind. IF Luck wasn't there I'm sure RG3 would be 1st pick.

Is Luck a "sure thing"? There have been a few reports now of guys saying Luck can't make the big-time NFL throws, even Mike Greenberg asked what he's missing when he watches Luck, because to him, he sees nothing special. (Of course, the answer that followed was that, Luck plays in a three tight-end system, when he gets to the NFL he'll shine.)

The more that RG3 is on television, the more awe-inspiring he becomes. Down in a bowl game by 10+? Doesn't matter, he comes charging back. Doesn't have a defense? Oh well, he throws the team on his back and carries them to the win.

Luck has only shown us that he can beat up on the lesser teams of the Pac-12, what has he done against his best competition?

It's going to be interesting.

Well I've seen Luck play enough times to know that he is incredibly smart & a great leader too.

The arm strength thing, well as you said he doesn't have any great receivers so its kinda hard to judge. He's very accurate most of the times I've seen him but haven't seen enough to know how great he is at throwing deep.

On the "sure thing" I can't say 100% on anyone but I think he'll be good in the NFL. Will he be a multiple pro bowler with multiple SB rings? I'm not sure about that.

RG3 has a bigger upside but is potentially "risky".

Luck provides less risk & is the kinda guy who can stabilize your team immediately that's why he's hyped so much, though as time went on it went out of hand.

Does the athleticism of RG3 outweigh the football IQ of luck?

Cam has helped out Griffin tremendously; his running ability has opened up plays, converted 3rd downs, and easily score inside the RZ. That's how teams probably will want to utilize RG3.

I would not be surprised if RG3 is picked before Luck (granted it's not Indy)

Said he'll decide soon whether to enter the draft or not. He'd be insane not to. With Cam paving the way for GMs to think more seriously about athletic QBs and with Barkely going back to school making him pretty much a lock to be the 2nd QB taken, his stock can't go much higher.

I'd be shocked.

      It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

      I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
