Robert Griffin

If this guy doesn't win a Heisman during his college career, I'd be surprised. He's a special talent. Really special.

if he doesn't keep getting hurt, he's right at the top of the list. He's got tons of talent, but he's injury prone.

I watched him play for Copperas Cove.
Texas would have loved to have him but there
was no way as McCoy was solidly in and Griffin
was ready to start right out of HS.

I dont think the Heisman is even a remote possibility though
due to the fact that he plays on Baylor in the Big 12 south.
The Heisman is also very clearly about your team winning
and Baylor will not win the Big 12. They just dont get the players.

Having stated the above the kid is really good. Faster than Pryor
with better skills right now. But not nearly as powerful as Pryor, and
Pryor will be playing on a National Championship contender for the rest
of his career in College.

My take.

Nobody can tell me that this guy doesn't deserve it this year. He is absolutely incredible. I'd easily take him over Andrew Luck.

A 3 year bump.

I forgot about pgardn.

and it's Robert Griffin III

if Stoops goes for 2 on that last TD and makes it OK wins.

I'd take Matt Barkley over both of them this year and in the future, but Griffin has been fantastic.

Couldn't agree more. He was great last night and his accuracy on deep throws is terrific. Andrew Luck has gotten to the point now where people expect so much from him that he seems to take a minor step back each week.

I'd love for Robert Griffin to be a successful NFL QB but he looks like a slightly upgraded Troy Smith to me.

Matt Barkley over Luck? Good luck with that 1. Im not sure I want Barkley over Griffin.

Matt Barkley has certainly improved his game by a ton this year but last year, there were still plenty of holes in his game. I would want to see another good year before I'd take him as the top qb. I also would think about Leinart and Sanchez and be a little reluctant to go that high with a USC qb.

They all need to continue to develop to have a successful NFL career. People have pretty much already enshrined Luck in Canton, so he's going to have a real hard time living up to the hype.

Barkley is a better passer than Sanchez or Leinart, so I don't think what they have done is relevant in regards to him.

Plus, Barkley seems to be pretty religious, so he'll have that whole karma thing working for him in the NFL.

Not to mention comparing Sanchez and Leinart right now is idiotic. Sanchez takes a ton of s.hit here and everywhere else but the guy's career has been worlds better than Leinart's so far.

Barkley is playing in an entirely different offense than Leinart or Sanchez did, one that's virtually a carbon copy of what Kiffin did at Oakland. Having watched him in both the USC-Stanford game then again last night I think he has the most upside by far. The love for Andrew Luck is deserved but rapidly getting way over the top.

which is why, although his suck factor has been undeniable, i think there's still a chance that leinart does okay in houston's west coast offense.

he can't throw downfield but he can manage a short pass game with strong run support. which is what he'll be asked to do.

nice call on griffin, king.

I guess he's feeling OK. 59 yard TD pass 22 seconds into the game.

You win... I remember seeing the TCU game this year and addressing you on another board about him and stating he went to the head of the Heisman list that game!! I always remember, if doing nothing else well! He's a great one.
