Three things
that can be associated with Thanksgiving are football, food, and family. Pretty
simple, right? When you mesh these things together you get an interesting
concoction of raw and powerful opinions. True feelings that help paint a
picture of a situation or a nugget of some real insight. A relative did that
for me on this Thanksgiving.

“He will not win
a Super Bowl before Andrew Luck. Michael Vick and Randall Cunningham never won
a Super Bowl. I’ll take a Roger Staubach or a Joe Montana over them any day of
the week.”
The player my
relative is referring to, Robert Griffin III, is the most interesting QB in the
NFL. The best part of this argument is the fact that he doesn’t see the biggest
difference in the short career of RGIII compared to those other QB’s: he’s
accurate.
At this moment
in the season, RGIII has a completion percentage of 67.1%, which ranks him
fifth in the NFL. His completion percentage for the season, if it ended today,
would be the 35th best for a QB during a full season. Michael Vick
has only had a completion percentage over 60% once in his career and the same
can be said for Randall Cunningham. Having consistency in the passing game is
the one dynamic that has eluded the explosive dual threat QB’s in the past.
If the Shanahan’s
in Washington can continue to tailor the offense through RGIII we may see one
of the best QB seasons from a dual threat QB ever. I forgot to mention the fact
that he is a rookie, so this won’t be that last time that you get to watch him
tear up an opponent on the national stage.
