Luck is going to be awesome but what I saw RG3 do yesterday was amazing.
Countless times he went to read number 2, 3, 4, or 5.

You can tell the entire Washington staff has complete 100% faith in him.

They are calling passing plays with 2mins left on 2nd and 10 when they are trying to run the clock out with an 8 point lead.

You just dont make that call unless you have supreme confidence in you QB.

I think this guy is going to be amazing.

If you are a Washington fan I think its time to put a smile on your face.
This guy is special.
Very special.

We are talking HOF special.
We are talking all time great special.

Its the most impressive rookie performance I have ever seen.

He has it all folks.

Elite smarts.
Elite physical tools
Elite leadership skills.

If you had a new draft tomorrow and put every NFL player into a draft I would draft RG3 #1 player in the whole draft.

He beat up a depleted Saints team that probably won't have a winning record this season. Don't get me wrong, I like him and I think he's gonna be good, but people are freaking out today. Same kind of buzz Cam Newton had last year after his first two starts. He still hasn't progressed.

Saints defense is not depleted, and I will bet you any kind of money the saints have a winning record this season.

I have watched Newton play 10 times already.
You never heard me start a thread about him.

Big difference in Newton and RG3

RG3 looked great, but that was only one game. I hope we are saying this four weeks from now as well...

If they are as bad as you claim, then why did you take them in your Eliminator pool?

However, I do agree that they finish about 8-8.

No offense Chop but this is the type of week 1 hyperbole that makes 99% of peoples NFL opinions insufferable to hear.

He had one good game. I think he is gonna be solid (I have a bet on him at +550 to win ROY) but to say > Luck after 1 good game is absurd.

The flip side to that coin is the people that said Skins were stupid to do that trade are nuts too. He is gonna make them relevant for the first time in like 20 years. In 5 years nobody is gonna care that they gaveup a lot to acquire him if he is the player people think he will be (ditto for Julio Jones)

Hope you are right, Saints O 9.5 wins is my biggest totals bet. Losing yesterday definitely puts a dent in it, division isn't easy either.

Atleast I got Brees -1 TDs vs Stafford, even if they suck he is just gonna bomb non-stop.

Let's revisit this conversation around week 5. He looked great, but I'm not sure he can play at this level consistently.

Fair question. I am in 3 pools and I have never played in more than one at a time. I thought it was my best strategy to pick 3 different teams in case "my favorite" laid an egg. So I had the Bears, Lions and Saints. Well, obviously the Saints laid an egg. They were 8-0 at home last year. I didn't expect them to lose at home to a rookie. After watching yesterday, the Saints are worse than I thought. I really don't think they get 9 wins. We will see what Chop thinks.

I live here in DC....the talk on the radio is hilarious! Reskins fans are dillusional as hell! They say, "Well....at least we're not the Cleveland Browns (or any other perrenial mediocre team)..." Well, THEY ARE! What have they done in the last 15+ years in the NFL?

RG3 is probably going to be a good NFL QB....probably. He needs a much better OL to get to that point.

Additionally....it was ONE GAME!!!

Its just like the Chopster to jizz over some rookie, newbie player and make him the next all time legend after 1 game.

It's easy when going up against a putrid defense like the Saints...

Congrats on the great Cleveland win the other day.
That was awesome.
Thats what I call a dream team if I ever saw one.

The Skins have a pretty good team around him, so that helps. Playing QB on an all around shitty team makes a difference.

Offenses get giddy when they play the Saints Defense. Their defense has no clue what to do on the field. No pressure, no sacks, no turnovers. Even in the Saints super bowl year they let Kevin Kolb pass for 391 yards against them. Rookie QB's feast on the Saints.
