I don't think you can really link the two of them in this regard without taking into consideration RG3's mindset and leadership qualities, which is why I believe he'll take better care of himself.
RG3 is a much better QB then Vick... I thought he was the best QB in that draft. But he is already on his 2nd major injury + he had a concussion during his Heisman season. They are both reckless QB's when they leave the pocket.

But folks really want to pile it up RG3 like he's some kind of bum. He's still going to be a bona fide star in this league and his struggles last night have done nothing to change my mind about that. He'll learn from taking too many hits last year and take better care of himself, he played much better yesterday in the second half and more importantly gave a grown man's interview after the game, making no excuses and taking full accountability. He's a great leader. This was his first game coming back from a torn ACL and obviously pushing himself to be out there in week 1.
My beef with this whole thread isn't about who's better, it's about the idea that this comparison isn't even close. It's very good timing to be coming back to this after last night's game.

contents within the thread, not the thread title. Stop reaching for what isn't there.
Please.
You were condescending at the comparison. I don't know if you're referring to our argument, but I never put down RGIII. I thought then that he'd be terrific and I still think he'll be great (I didn't bump this thread FWIW), I just think Kap holds the slight edge in potential, ability, and physical and mental traits.
I stand corrected. I did post that on the very first page. I foresaw homer posts with no objectivity whatsoever (based on what I see in Niner Talk on a regular basis), but looking back the discussion in this thread was pretty fair.
For the record, I got condescending when you started bringing up Wonderlic scores into the argument.

You can have the injury prone QB all you want, give me the guy that led his team to the superbowl after only 7 starts

I agree.
The question asked is fundamentally irrational.
Why? It's a legit question. I think RG3 might be more talented overall than Kap, but I'd rather have Kap as my QB for the simple fact that RG3 is very injury prone and has a history.
I feel smart
Go KAP

I see absolutely nothing funny about the statement. Kap is the better passer and the smarter runner. I wouldn't even consider trading the two of them.Originally posted by vrabbit:Originally posted by valrod33:Kaep and its not even remotely close

An injury prone small QB vs. a big physical QB with a stronger arm, more height, just as good of speed, less injury prone. That's no comparison at all. Kaep is even more accurate.

RG3 throws too low and Kaep throws too high.

You obviously don't know valrod therefore don't understand why I laugh.
