I say yes. He's mobile, but his mobility doesn't define him as a player like RG3.

He's as accurate and as cerebral as Luck, but he's slightly more athletic.

I'd give him a slight edge over Luck.

Matt Flynn >>>> Short Wilson

Pete Carrol only starting him so he can throw away season to draft Barkley

He should've been a 1st round draft pick. He is way over Tannehill and Weeden.

RG3 is a hell of a passer too

If he were 6'1, he would have been the #1 overall pick.

He was virtually unstoppable at Wisconsin. Their defense just sucked.

I would say he's as good as Luck and RGIII. Not better. The others, yeah.

Agree. He throws the best deep ball of the three IMO.

I just have a feeling that he's not going to last given his build and the way he plays.

This must have been the best draft class for qbs ever, but he is only the 3rd best. He just ended up on the best team out of all the rookies.

About to be followed by probably the worst I feel bad for teams that desperately need one this year.

I wouldn't draft one this year. I don't like Smith or Barkley, and I don't see any steals late in the draft.

Tyler Bray and Ryan Nassib are probably the only two QBs I'd draft in the middle rounds. I like Bray's pro potential.

Andrew Luck plays behind the worst offensive line in the league, and look what he did this year.

Luck is more mechanical than Wilson IMO. I like Luck.

Wilson makes it look so easy.

True, you do have to factor in the teams that the QBs are playing for. RW got drafted to a better team with a better OL and running game so that does make him look a little better.

All 3 of the top guys are awesome.

And Weeden and Tannehill aren't bad either.

Pretty great QB class.

and RG3s knees

amiright?

He's a fine passer but I wouldn't call him a pocket passer just yet. I'm sure he can be, but you can't call him that yet.

I agree. We will see who the smart GMs are in this year's draft. This draft is full of great defense in the front 7 and OL talent, whatever teams take defense and OL early instead of skill offensive guys will be the big winners. If KC reaches for a QB instead of anchoring the OL or defensive front 7 I will lose any respect for them as a franchise.

you have barely seen RG3 play if you think he is defined by his mobility.

Ever heard of Andrew Luck. I like Russel Wilson, but even if he was 6'1" he wouldn't have been picked over Luck.
