As Baylor plugs in QBs, RGIII was over rated.

Their offense hasn't missed a beat since he left. This heisman winner makes me scratch my head the most the past 5 years or so. He was the definition of system QB and sure injuries prevented him from being anything in the NFL but his style of play got him hurt more than anything.
Very underwhelming heisman winner as the years go by IMO.

I actually mean that as a serious question, not sarcasm.

By that logic any school that has/had prior success at a certain position should not have their player up for the award.
Rg3 lit up much better competition than this current Baylor team is playing. I believe it was a 10-2 Tcu team. He threw to spots downfield against good man to man coverage that I didn't think a QB could do. His Heisman moment came in a game against a 9-3 OU team on a play that was anything but a system play. I still haven't seen anyone throw a better deep ball than him.
And he didn't fall off in the NFL until he messed up his knee again.

I don't know man.
Go back and watch some of those games. He was a freak and that was the beginning of the briles era
I remember that OU Thursday night game. Dude was a monster.

I went to a lot of Baylor games that year and he was just flat out better than anyone on the field, yeah Briles offense puts up huge gaudy numbers but it doesn't look the same as it did when RGIII was there.

When RGIII was at BU the QB was even more important because they didn't run the way the do now. The last two years the Bears have run the ball far more than thrown, thanks to better OL and depth at RB. This year they average over 350 on the ground and in the air. A large chunk of the rushing yardage in the RGIII era was his.
RGIII sure torched the Aint's defense in his first pro start.

Even Andrew Luck would've been a better choice, but players shinning within a CFB system isn't anything new. RGB III was at the right place, at the right time.

Wasn't RGIII hurt for one game in 2011 and his back-up came in and did the same exact thing RGIII had been doing? Andrew Luck should have won the Heisman in 2011.

How can people say Luck should have won the Heisman?
Luck had fewer yards, more picks, lower completion %, lower yards per attempt, fewer rushing yards and less rushing TDs, and same amount of passing TDs as RG3

Revisionist history, because Luck has been a beast and RGIII has become a bum.

Disagree. RGIII had a solid rookie season and hasn't been the same since his knee injury.

Those of you who did, what were you saying after his rookie year?
I'm still confused about why people think he had some mind blowing rookie season. He passed for just over 200 yards per game. What was I saying his rookie season? "Oh no, this guy looks AMAZING. Oh, oh never mind, looks like he's gonna shite his pants for the rest of his career. But that rookie season doe!"

If you're saying this you didn't actually watch him play. He put them on his back several times that year.

Seriously though, dude was extremely good in college and deserved the accolades imho fwiw tbh.

For the season, Griffin set records for highest passer rating by a rookie quarterback (102.4) and highest touchdown to interception ratio (4:1). Aside from the week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns where he did not play, Griffin played a vital role in helping the Redskins finish the regular season on a 7-game winning streak after starting the season 3–6, leading the team to its first playoff appearance since the 2007 season.
Trying to argue he wasn't good in college or his rookie year is revisionist history at it's finest

running QBs have a history of success early on which is often corrected within an offseason
every time a running QB does well the media freaks out about the "new NFL" and then that QB slides back to the mean
that's pretty much my auto response
