They just met this past Regular Season. Yes, you're right; they could meet to decide The Super Bowl...but I was referring to a Regular Season meeting. And I don't see both QBs starting for these teams when they meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would definitely be interesting! Coincidentally, I don't know who I'd cheer for in such a matchup. Do you?? I guess I'd root for the guy who didn't cheat on his pregnant wife.

Gibbit Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 oh if this ever happened (rob finding his way around an nfl offense and getting into a superbowl) id definitely root for Robert....hell id root for Rob to sleep with kirks wife after the superbowl win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but in the conversation you were quoting earlier, the hypothetical matchup was for the super bowl. That’s how the conversation got started in the first place ?

NickyJ Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The RG3-Kirk Cousins dream has died. Lamar Jackson is a fascinating pick, though. I'm really curious how they're going to ship Flacco out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 How sure are we that drafting Jackson means the end of RG3 in Baltimore? I doubt Jackson starts this year. I see them wanting him to sit behind Flacco for at least a year. And if Flacco were to get hurt, especially early in the year, I don't think they would just want to go ahead and start Jackson for the rest of the year. I could see them carrying 3 QB's for at least this year. I'll be interested to see how it all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 There was a report that a team wanting to draft Jackson was willing to overhaul the offense for him and have similar quarterbacks on the roster. Would that be Baltimore without Flacco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his interviews he just seems so intellectually challenged. At a position that requires less analytical skills, perhaps. Then again, maybe he's a savant and just faking it.

I see it every day. People who can talk to me all day about the nuances of case-law or medicine, but are dumb as **** when it comes to the basics of psychology, or engineering/mathematics, etc. Or people who are smart at one thing but struggle to adapt and learn other things (the ability to recall and process new information quickly). Intellect is absolutely required, and I guarantee you many "Smart" (using others standards) people would struggle to pick up that information in the short amount of time that they are given. It's a different realm, for sure. Doesn't mean a certain amount of intelligence isnt required. How you talk, accent wise or whatever, doesn't always reflect how you think. Some people just may be a tad nervous, or something of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The takeway is this -- being smart doesn't automatically mean you will be a good QB. But if you are dumb, it will be difficult or impossible to be a good QB.

Ghost of Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks, Tsailand. People bought into Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences but it's not really a "theory" as much as a hope. I think he even admits this, more or less, somewhere in an article or conference. But it is clear that athletic ability is not the same as intelligence, nor is dexterity, etc. So it might be possible to be excellent at playing an instrument while not being very intelligent and you can be outright stupid and be strong, fast, etc. What people mean here is talent not intelligence, even if coordination and anticipation can seem almost like an intelligence all their own. If Vince Young is as stupid as his Wonderlic, it's no wonder he couldn't make it as an NFL QB. People probably do set the bar of minimum IQ higher than it really is for QB, though.

Why not just come out and say it. The guy sounds like a retard. It's painfully obvious he didn't do much learning in school when you hear him speak. The guy doesn't seem to have the mental capacity to play the position at the NFL level. Physically maybe yes, but smarts wise? No way. Maybe that's why all the GM's that everyone was screaming Nazi racist!!!! about wanted to play him at other positions, because they don't believe he's got the brainpower to handle the position. But everyone being as sensitive as they are these days immediately screamed racists are keeping him down!!! Even bmitch was complaining about the same thing for awhile there. Pfft. Maybe he can do well at this level but I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So, i wonder how griffin is looking at training camp so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Last I heard by Twitter, the Ravens were doing some dual-quarterback drills, with Flacco and Jackson/RG3 both being on the field together. If they can make a game out of who has the ball between Jackson and Flacco, good on them. If they think they can disguise RG3 as a WR or RB and not have him injured by week 2..... Lol on them.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I just hope we get a chance to see griffin play at least a few snaps in the week 2 preseason game. That might get us an interception or 2 maybe even a sack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
