Great read, A SuperStar in the making

When he accepted the trophy, he got to read the speech out loud in those Superman socks. But RG2 had researched Heisman flops (see Andre Ware, Gino Torretta, Eric Crouch, Danny Wuerffel) and decided many had gotten fat and happy. So hours later, RG2 and RG3 were working out at the hotel fitness center at 2 a.m. "I told him, '10 years down the road, you're the Heisman Trophy winner,'" RG2 explains. "'But right now you can't act like that. You've got to act the way you acted before you won the award.'"

After the season, RG3 spent five weeks training in Phoenix, taking only one day off each week. Then at the combine he ran a 4.41 40 and showed off his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles socks afterward. Scouts were trying to compare him to Cam Newton and The Golden Calf of Bristol, but RG3 says, "People would say I'm more polished as a passer than The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam, but I'm not as physical a runner. But I am 6'2", 223, and I can throw with the best of them."

Lets wait until he plays a down in the NFL before we crown him a superstar in the making. Unless you want to give Cam the title because of what he has already done..... Weren't you one of the negative posters about Newton, Grits???? Funny how you changed your tune when it isn't about the Panthers.

really i just read everything he posts about griffin with the assumption that he's doing it intentionally to piss people off. of course it's a glaring contradiction.

also i swear to god i saw him post on one of his six hundred alt accounts about how he absolutely did not want griffin in a redskins uniform a while back. he claimed that he didn't fit shanahan's system.

Cam won six games. I want RG3 to do much better, like my boy Andy Dalton.

Actually i wanted Luck. But when i realized that was out of the question i warmed to the idea of drafting RG3.

George Lucas has threathened a lawsuit if the NFL, Redskins and RGIII don't stop using RGIII.

He says that RGIII is too close to CP3O and that it's copywrite infringement!

It is Larry Brown or Phill Jackson that copywrited "Three-Peat"? If someone uses that phrase, they are open to a lawsuit!
