Lavarleap56 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Winning your division generally leads to good things in the NFL. Division champions avoid traveling for at least their first playoff game and are set up pretty well to make a deep playoff run. In order to win your division, you have to win your share of divisional games. Thus, one of the most important attributes a rookie QB can have is the ability to beat his divisional rivals. As we drill down into some recent rookie QBs, it becomes obvious that rookie QBs who play well within their division generally set themselves and their teams up for years of success. Looking at the rookie seasons of some recent high-profile QBs over the past decade or so, a few patterns seem to have developed when it comes to divisional play. For one, the rookie QBs who had winning divisional records continued to rack up division and Super Bowl titles, which demonstrates that NFL winners, win almost immediately. Additionally, the majority of those winning QBs were paired with a very formidable defense and put up relatively pedestrian statistics.

ejay183 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I didnt realize that Griffin threw 14 TDs in his division games, that is over half his total passing TDs of the year. The crazy thing is that everyone else up there with him had great defenses to help out. The future is truly bright once Griffin comes back healthy.

Dirt Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I know it's only one year, but considering the state, and age of the other teams, and obviously the stats they put up vs them... there might as well be legal paperwork for it; the Redskins own the division. The team owns the division. I feel like Kirk could whoop on them too, if need be. All that intangible stuff is pretty real with the Redskins right now.

beachboy757 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Like RG3 said when he was mic'd up in the week 17 game "This is OUR division!". His numbers against the NFCE are crazy and Philly and Dallas were swept with the one legged RG3. You gotta also give credit to Haslett as well, he really knows how to bait all of our rival QB's into throwing picks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
