- [deleted] 2
  - I'm leaning Garcon, but RG3 throws a great deep pass (or at least he did before Shotty messed him up) - Will Hunting Aug 15, 06:11 1
    - But you're going to be relying on those big plays which don't come all that often. Garcon will be his #1 option and he'll have the better year. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 06:22
