SnyderShrugged Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 For a couple moments, I almost wondered if it was an onion article because it was almost over the top complimentary. I've got the Chris Matthews shivers up my leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool as Crud Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I remember there were certain knowitalls on this board that tried to argue with me about his arm strength. Anyone who watched his games and payed attention knew he had that plus the accuracy. Agreed, but to play devil's advocate, it may depend on your definition of "arm strength.". Sounds like his mechanics are just as responsible for his deep ball as his physical strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco_holland Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 100 days, 12 hours, 16 minutes, and 22 seconds until our season opener..........but whose counting? That´s a long build up before we see how he really works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I wonder how his touch is. You can't throw everything on a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm so excited and articles like this do NOT help! Putting RG3s locker right next to Fletch, brilliant Mike, Brilliant. That fact that those two get along is probably the best sign we could hope for. The classiest of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think the big thing here is the period of time when after he was injured, all that work throwing from a chair made him focus on his upper body strength and mechanics. Seriously, sit in a chair and try to throw a football, taking away all of the stepping into it and rotation, it ain't easy! My concerns aren't arm strength or accuracy, let's see how he does reading a pro level D because none of the rest matters of he can't handle that aspect of the game.

TheDane Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I wonder how his touch is. You can't throw everything on a straight line. Don't be ridiculous. The Arm can throw balls through defenders, like how that alien blew a hole through Jesse "The Body" Ventura in Predator.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHail Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I wish folks would stop with the Mike Vick comparisons - RGIII is a very different type of QB than Vick. RGIII is not as good a broken field runner or as elusive as Vick but is a MUCH better passer especially from the pocket. I think comparisons are silly but if you want one think Steve Young. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arm can throw balls through defenders, like how that alien blew a hole through Jesse "The Body" Ventura in Predator.. Haha. Nobody get me wrong on here. I'm not criticizing or doubting RGIII. He's already a local sports god. And hell, my work email signature has this as the last line: R...G...III -- HTTR We're a global company so I doubt anyone gets the reference, but I don't give a ****. So yeah, I'm just wondering about his touch. That has been the criticism of many strong-armed QB's in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he was throwing passes where he didnt even set his feet or contort his body to compensate that were accurate way down the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I understand the comment about touch. If he can't put a little lift on his passes, LBs will be able to sit under the route and pick him off, but he does have a good touch. At least he did in college. I can't wait to see him roll out and flick it 60 yards to a streaking Moss or Paul or whoever and hit them in stride as they run into the endzone.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If Rex Grossman is praising him then you KNOW hes the real deal! exactly what I thought when I read the article. Many times the reigning starter QB will be like an old lion trying desperately to hold to the top dog status with every fiber of their being and downplay the newbie. Rex appears to have accepted the fact that his days as starter here are done and he's just happy to still be making a paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Glad I re-upped The Ticket this year. I'm trying to cut way back on my bills and DTV was on the chopping block in favor of the less expensive cable. When telling DTV my intentions they knocked $30 off of my monthly bill and said "oh, and here's the Sunday Ticket for free for 2012." Now I'll be able to catch him every Sunday from home instead of driving somewhere else to catch a game. I'm a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick7423 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 his locker is next to Fletchers, they probably interact a lot This cannot be a coincidence. Who better to have your new rookie QB talk to on a daily basis than London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't put a little lift on his passes, LBs will be able to sit under the route and pick him off, but he does have a good touch. At least he did in college. Very true. Last year, he showed the ability to dart the ball to a receiver running a crossing pattern, just as he showed the ability to loft a long ball over a corner's head to hit in stride a receiver on a go route. The guy's definitely got touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
