but as Sandy pointed out, all of those gains and then some came from his running statistics. AAALLL of them. You are not comparing Griffin's running ability to Vick's right? This whole Vick comparison is just getting tired.
Your entire argument is based off of watching him play two games out of 16 when he was badly injured. Should we pick out Wilson's two worst games of the season and make snap judgements about him? Say that 9 for 23 with no tds and 1 int performance against San Fran in week 7? Or the week 4 game where he threw for 160 yards and 0 td's and 3 int's against the Rams? See how picking two games out of an entire season and then making sweeping claims about a players ability might be short-sighted?
Doc, I think it's time to come over to the dark side and just admit that Griffin based on his stats throwing the football is not just a random fluke. Sandy and G and I cannot spell out our case any more clearly. He has had an unbelievable year, as has Wilson. It's not because he runs around every play until someone gets open or he just has great pass protection or is just a product of the offensive scheme he's in. I've done all the research shooting down all of these theories. None of us are saying he is as good of a pocket passer as he will be 3 years from now if he is healthy. None of us are saying he is the best pocket passer in the league right now either. We are saying that based on his statistics, he cannot be a bad quarterback. He MUST possess some of the same skills that Brady and Rodgers have. You cannot reproduce the year he has had by smoke and mirrors and a great OC in your rookie season. My offer still stands: name me a few QB's who have had this much success in the last 30 years in their rookie seasons. You've tried Vick, Newton...
Here, let me help
Montana played 1 game his rookie season.
Elway posted a 55 rating with a 7/14 td/int ratio his rookie season.
Marino had a 96 rating his rookie season, he was great from day 1.
Warren Moon at the age of 28 having played pro ball for years posted a 77 rating and 12/14 ratio his rookie NFL season.
Troy Aikman had a 56 rating and a 9/18 ratio.
Brett Favre threw 4 passes, completing none with 2 interceptions his rookie year.
Steve Young had a 3/8 ratio with a 57 rating.
Peyton Manning had a 71 rating with a 26/28 ratio and a 56% comp.
Tom Brady threw 3 passes his rookie year.
