Saga of RGIII

RGIII would likely be up there this year if he wasn't injured, too (20 sacks compared to just 119 passing attempts).

Ive noticed that too. The except is Big Ben. He still gets sacked a lot.

Now I'm not saying that those guys are doing the same thing because I have no idea but it's something to think about.

Rodgers is so light years ahead of those guys. He's accuracy is insane. He does it the right way because he'll move around to create more time to throw it down field and is probably the most accurate deep passer in the NFL

are we ready to call RGIII the biggest bust of all time?

[kaletore11]

No, we're not. He's 24 and two years removed from a really good season.

And has already had too much success to be considered the biggest bust of all time, even if he never plays another down.

Yeah, it has to be because they hold the ball longer trying to make plays because they know they can run a bit.

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning know they aren't running away from defenders, so they know to get rid of the ball quick.

I'm close but I'll wait a few years.

There is no universe where RG3 is considered a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf. None.
