Andrew Luck VS Robert Griffin III Round Table Discussion
I believe both Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are capable of winning Super Bowls with the right supporting casts. Today its been confirmed that Stanford Cardinal signal caller Andrew Luck will go #1 overall to the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft. This means that Baylor Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III will likely be the 2nd pick for the Washington Redskins in next Thursday’s 2012 NFL Draft due to Washington’s dire need to elect a new field general in the Nations Capital.
I have had Luck going #1 overall in mock drafts since October, 2011. Luck could have gone pro last season as a sophomore redshirt. Luck returned to Stanford and replicated his consistency just like Peyton Manning did after Manning returned to Tennessee for his senior season.
I had Robert Griffin III going 8th overall back in my 2012 NFL Mock Draft in June, 2011 behind Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley. I thought Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones was overrated and mocked him 10th to the Colts as a successor to Peyton Manning at the time. Matt Barkley returned to school for the USC Trojans. Robert Griffin III won the Heisman with an upset win over Oklahoma helping his cause, RGIII destroyed Washington in the Alamo Bowl dropping 67 points on the Washington Huskies defense, wowed GM’s at his combine, and dominated his pro day.
I originally moved RGIII up to 4 with the Cleveland Browns after Barkley returned. As the Combine approached rumors about a team needing to move up for Robert Griffin III at the 2nd spot became more of a reality. In the end Washington opted to trade up with the St. Louis Rams for the #2 pick.
I have raved about both quarterbacks since June last year. If you follow the NFL and the NFL draft its gotten to the point where your probably sick of hearing about how good both of these quarterbacks are until you see them step on the field and play in week 1 come September.
This post is basically a brief overview of what Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III have accomplished leading up to the 2012 NFL Draft. What I want this to become is a round table discussion where people reading this comment on which player they like better and why?
