Why can't we be happy for both these young men. They are minorities in a world that tells them they have to prove themselve in order to success unlike their counterparts.We all know those who enjoy judging, marvel at RGIII and pit him against Cam.

FYI, RG is more well spoken and mature than Luck but no one seems to want to admit that...Nope, it's easy to compare him to the other black QB the media spend a last season smearing and maligning.

It's funny, the most common argument I've seen made for RG3 over Cam is that "he doesn't pout". That's the weakest argument I've ever seen made for an athlete over another in my life.

Myself, I like RG3. Seems like a good guy, did what was asked of him and did it well, couldn't have asked for much more.

I agree with the previous statement that there's no reason to compare them, they're different styles of QBs with different supporting casts (for those that like to use the pitiful "well RG3 got the win" argument). Obviously if I had to choose I'm taking my guy and Redskins fans are taking their guy. No one is going to convince anyone otherwise. I like RG3 and will be hoping for his success 16 out of 17 weeks this year.

I really like RGIII. I wish him all the best. It's a sad shame how insecure this society is that there can only be ONE good black QB in this time and age. At one point we keep saying that it's not about race but we keep comparing the two black QBs and elevating one over the other.

It's funny, the media is doing their best to paint the image that Luck is the next Peyton and is HOF bound based on nothing more than college stats and hype. But, Cam and RGIII have to prove themselves and one win or record breaking doesn't mean anything. I'm sure if Luck had played like RGIII last Sunday every person in the sports world would be outfitting him for his HOF jacket.

But I will admit it's quite obvious the difference in media treatment between RGIII and Cam and we all know why. So, please spare me the whole he's more whatever. We all have learned by now that it's automatically assumed that if you're a white QB, you're not only assumed to be more intelligent but mature and humble than the black ones. Maybe that is why folks are busy comparing everything about RGIII to Cam, including his maturity and intelligence, instead of comparing him to Luck. We should ignore reality and stick with brainwashing.

As I stated before, RGIII comes across way more mature and intelligent than the Stanford Grad.

Forget RGIII, we should be comparing the after game press meetings held by Cam and Luck. Now there's a topic worth discussing. I will give Cam a small pass because he does have a slight stuttering disorder. What's Luck's excuse? This is the highly praised and suppose to be highly intelligent Stanford grad.

someone is trying desperately to turn this into a race thread

i grow weary of it already.

Someone lives with their head in the sand. Please go back and read what I posted and stop making it about race.

I stated reality. RGIII should be compared to Peyton and Luck and QBs of his stature, not just the black QBs because then it becomes quite obvious and it pigeon holes him.

Was anyone ever comparing Ben Rothleisberger to Aaron Rogers? How about Matthew Stafford to Sam Braford? NO...But, everyone feels the need to contantly compare every new black QB to the others and pit them against each other. Like they did with Cam and Vick and now Cam and RG III. It's extremely obvious regardless of what you say.

IMO, Cam and RG III are not only different players but playing on two completely different teams. Don't see the comparison except that they are both black. Sorry.

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
