Andrew Luck is having a slightly better season than RG3

BAM!
Luck > RG3
Luck > RG3
quote:
And Luck’s long average pass distance isn’t simply a product of throwing lots of incomplete passes down the field. His average pass distance on completions is 8.6 yards past the line of scrimmage, also highest in the N.F.L. (Cutler was fourth at 8.3 entering Monday night). Griffin’s completions come an average of 5.8 yards from the line of scrimmage, well below the league average of 6.5.
Those numbers agree with Brian Burke’s data at Advanced NFL Stats, which show that Griffin has thrown only 14 percent of his passes 15-plus yards past the line of scrimmage, the lowest rate in the league. Luck has thrown only 11 percent of his passes at or behind the line of scrimmage, while Griffin is in an offense that has let him throw 44 passes at or behind the line, accounting for 23 percent of his attempts.
quote:
Luck has only 18 true carries this season, with 2 of his 20 carries coming on kneel-downs. Luck doesn’t run very often, choosing his spots carefully. Despite only 18 true rushes, Luck has 10 first-down runs on scrambles, most in the league (Griffin and Michael Vick each have nine). Seven of those 10 have come on third down; no other quarterback more than 4 scrambles for 1st downs on 3rd down this year. Over all, 12 of his 18 runs have gone for first downs, while Griffin has gained first downs on only 41 percent of his 61 runs (excluding kneel-downs).
quote:
Luck has faced tougher defenses this season (Chicago in particular, along with Green Bay and the Jets), and his opponent-adjusted Total QBR is 75.4. While Griffin’s schedule hasn’t been full of cupcakes, it has been below average, and the opponent-adjustment brings him down to 67.2.

Griffin may have the highlight reel runs and the showy statistics, but Luck has arguably been even more impressive under considerably more challenging circumstances.

Luck's got some Matt Ryan in him. Really like his demeanor and easy he makes the game look.

Going with my gut on this. Yea I think so.

RG3 doesn't have one wr who is worth a shite, RG3 is getting it done with bums on the field

Media obviously overrates RG3 because they're desperate to see a black QB succeed.

That's your idea of a compliment? Not he's got some Peyton or Montana or Unitas, but he's got some Matt Ryan?

Peyton's playing style can be hard to watch at times. (An all time great though)
I didnt want to say Luck looked like Brady...that would unfair to say this early.
He's much bigger than Montana and I didnt get to see Johnny U.
But based on the top "entering their prime" QBs...Luck reminds me of Ryan. Not bad being compared to an MVP candidate.

Taking it
sidenote: Hard to believe how far Jamie and Samuel L have come. Looking forward to seeing them in Django Unchained
