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

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.

Like I said, it might be a perception bias on my part.

Responses:

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
