Like I've been saying from the beginning, Griffin is the next best QB behind Luck, and it's not by all that much.
Then for fun..

I disagree. I think he'll be at least a solid pro. His deep ball is an absolute thing of beauty.
He had a pretty good year. But the problem of his very thin body and running style came back to haunt him and now his knee is torn up. Now I know it wasn't a run play that he got hurt on, but his scrambling style puts him and his body at risk, espicially the knees. Becuase he is either going to "break someone's ankle" by juking them or he is going to get hit when his knees aren't prepared. I've always been biased against running/scrambling QBs because I think it hinders their development and will eventually lead to injuries.
Word on the surgery was the damage was worse then first thought, good news it was Dr. Andrews operating on him. On the radio they said he might miss the start of next season.
Oddly, Kirk Cousins was my sleeper QB in the draft. I hope he gets a chance to show he can play with RG3 resting that knee so when he comes back its 100%.
I like RG3, he seems like a good person. But I think he needs to change his style some to save his body.
