        Be careful con_carne, it's a trap. It's how "David's Backyard Adventures" because a TT meme. (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 15:51
"A question will be asked. A question that must never, EVER be answered" -- (link) - Remlik Apr 19, 14:48 [youtube]
forget everything you've heard...and seen... anonymous scouts want you to know RG3 is a selfish overrated qb that treats people poorly - stewie Apr 19, 14:34 39
- And has a big dick - JD Apr 19, 15:16 1
  - I don't know that being a selfish overrated QB is strictly a black QB stereotype...on the other hand I do question his character to some degree... - Stephen Apr 19, 15:24
- ...and he only compares him to other black QBs. yawn. Unnamed scout can go stuff it. -- nm - Diva Apr 19, 14:37 35
  - This must be a frustrating draft for racist scouts since Luck and Griffin are so similar in athleticism and intellect. -- nm - David Apr 19, 14:47 34
    - Athleticism? I don't think Luck is has half the speed that RGII does. - musubi Apr 19, 15:19 31
      - Track down the combine stats. Luck matched Cam Newton, but his offense doesn't require the QB to run any. - David Apr 19, 15:30 16
        
        Fair nuff, like I said, it doesn't seem Luck has the same speed, but maybe he just never flashed it in-game the way Griffin did. - musubi Apr 19, 15:40 15
        
        I think RGIII just looks more fluid/polished in his movements because it's a big part of his game/the system he played in. - Stephen Apr 19, 15:54
        
        What you're saying is right. The most athletic thing he ever did was the elimination tackle after that fumble. - David Apr 19, 15:47 8
        
        It may be we're also thinking of "athleticism" differently. - musubi Apr 19, 15:50 7
        
        Luck is the fastest of the three, but athleticism is much more than simple foot speed. - David Apr 19, 15:54 6
        
        Really? Luck ran faster than a 4.41?!? - musubi Apr 19, 15:57 5
        
        Correcting: RG3 is clearly the fastest of the 3. - David Apr 19, 16:00 3
        
        Ok, thanks. I was so confused there. Point being, my interpretation of "athleticism" was just different that yours. - musubi Apr 19, 16:02 2
        
        This is a better 1/2 punch at QB than Eli/Big Ben in 2004. And by quite a bit. - David Apr 19, 16:04 1
        
        (Although we probably shouldn't expect 4 Super Bowl rings from them.) -- nm - David Apr 19, 16:06
        
        Wait. Now I'm confused. - musubi Apr 19, 16:00
        
        Wait, I read that wrong. Did Luck match Cam or RGIII's sprint times? - musubi Apr 19, 15:44 4
        
        Cam. RG3 was 4.41 in the 40, 10'0" in the broad jump, 39" vertical. - David Apr 19, 15:52 3
        
        Question related to that last bit. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 19, 15:56 1
        
        Since Holmgren apparently made the call, it shouldn't but it probably will. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:58
        
        That 4.4 speed is what I'm thinking about. Luck has good speed, Griffin is elite. - musubi Apr 19, 15:55
      - RG3 had 4x as many rushing yards and rushing TDs last year... a decent 40 time doesn't change that - stewie Apr 19, 15:27 5
        
        What it means is that Cam ran more, not that he's a better athlete. - David Apr 19, 15:34 2
        
        the underwear olympics don't make me believe he's a running threat when he hasn't show it on the field - stewie Apr 19, 15:51 1
        
        Peyton wishes he had Luck's athleticism but that's a great example of how the best QBs rarely need to run anyway. - David Apr 19, 15:56
        
        Well, who had the better weapons to throw it to? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 15:28 1
        
        Both of these QBs are the weapon. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:39
      - Half? He has approx. 92%. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 15:22 3
        
        I think you're making that percentage up. (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 15:26 2
        
        92%? If I were making one up, it would be something better. - Iron Spawn Apr 19, 15:27 1
        
        It's actually 96% so your totally made up number was in the ballpark. -- nm - David Apr 19, 15:36
      - he's fast for a big white dude -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 15:21 3
        
        No doubt. He's a hell of a QB and he toasted SC on more than one occassion, but I just don't see them being on the same level of athleticism. - musubi Apr 19, 15:26 2
        
        the scouts disagree with you -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 15:34 1
        
        Something we should all remember for years to come is that almost everyone who participated in the Green Bay story liked Luck more than RG3. - David Apr 19, 15:39
    - I ask because I don't know and is a tangent but what sort of QB is RGIII? - Mel Profit Apr 19, 15:16 1
      - cam newton but not quite as big -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 15:18
- a perfect fit for Snyder's organization then -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 14:37
WWF strategy question. Would you typically play the "S" on the end of a word whenever you have the chance? - Subversive Apr 19, 14:30 13
- you wouldn't want to waste it, usually its easy to add a few letters to make a second word -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 19, 14:52

  - (this is funny) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 14:31
- save it for a big score opportunity. -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 14:30
- whenever I have a chance, no. If it will give me a high scoring word or block my opponent, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 14:30 3
  - you have to take the gamble. it depends how bad you think the perceived risk is. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 14:31 2
    - I just played it in our game, would you have used it where I just did? -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 14:31 1
      - no, it doesn't look like it would have been a big scoring opportunity for me. i would do it - loosilu Apr 19, 14:32

- I wouldn't say we eat at Chick-Fil-A a lot less these days but I think about the topic whenever we talk about going there. -- nm - David Apr 19, 14:48 1

- And yet you still felt the need to share?! -- nm - Stephen Apr 19, 14:24 2
  - Coulda been worse - con_carne Apr 19, 15:17
  - It's like The Ring. You have to pass it on. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 14:29
