In response to "Athleticism? I don't think Luck is has half the speed that RGII does." by musubi

Track down the combine stats. Luck matched Cam Newton, but his offense doesn't require the QB to run any.

Luck has elite athleticism. People don't talk about it because his command of the game is such that his playcalling is a better story.

Responses:

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
