In response to "RG3 had 4x as many rushing yards and rushing TDs last year... a decent 40 time doesn't change that" by stewie

What it means is that Cam ran more, not that he's a better athlete.

The combine numbers tell the story about Luck is a physical specimen as well as the Cam comparison...

4.59 vs. 4.59 in the 40
6.80 3-cone vs. 6.92 (yes, Luck's was better...and an elite time at that)
4.28 vs. 4.18 short shuttle
36" vs. 35" in the vertical jump
10'4" vs. 10'6" in the broad jump

So, they tie in one category while Luck wins two and Cam wins two.

Cam is bigger so his numbers are more impressive but Luck is a tremendous athlete. His father trained him right.

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
