Black guy who's kind of fast? Move him to wide receiver.. Wait, he's completing 73% of his passes with 33 tds and 5 interceptions? Must be a product of the system. He'll be Brad Smith in the NFL.

I'd like to see him in the pros. Dude definitely has talent.

You guys with the racist arguments are fricking ignorant. You're the reason racism is alive. Congrats!

if tebow has proved anything, moving mobile QBs to WR and shite in the NFL has nothing to do with race

The thing is Griffin has the ability to run alot more. But he chooses to use his arm instead. Last nights game proved that big time. Plus, he seems likea classy dude.

If the Jets would use him as a Brad Smith-type, then I'll take him on the Dolphins right now.

The only reason people even think about bringing up a move to wide receiver is because he's black. People want to move Tebow because he's a terrible passer. RG3 is completing 73% of his passes.

He reminds me of Steve Young with a stronger arm. He will be a good NFL QB. There aren't many knocks you can make against him except that he's a bit short.

I rest my case. Tebow finished his career with 67% passing percentage. In 2009 he was at 70%.
Just stop...

How many times was Tebow asked to throw the ball downfield? Tebow has never shown the ability to accurately pass down the field. Tebow without his legs = a walkon qb. Robert Griffin without his legs = Heisman candidate.

Tebow had a better completion percentage of passes more than 15 yards down field than Sam Bradford. As mentioned in the 2008 National Title game.
Tebow had 3200 yards passing and 32 TD's his Heisman year. Guess who has similar stats this year?

yea, he'll get a shot for sure

You can't possibly watch RG3 play and honestly compare his throwing capabilities to Tebow.

Whoever thinks that they have the same throwing motion is absolutely ridiculous. Tebow wishes he could throw like Griffin

i was just comparing the "mobile QB move" in the NFL

Sure you can. You're not looking hard enough. I can think of a few off the top of my head. 2007 vs FSU to Andre Caldwell. Hell, even last week vs KC (yeah, a pro game) to Eric Decker.
TT Passes only in COLLEGE
Notice the number of deep balls? Didn't you just say he couldn't do that?
Aren't people saying Griffin is a product of his system now? Kind of racist for you to say that about Tebow.
Point being, YOU'RE racist for suggesting OTHERS are racist for wanting to move Griffin.
Tebow and Griffin have similar stats IN COLLEGE and we won't know if Griffin can cut it in the NFL before seeing him do so.
There have been a HUGE number of QB's who had great seasons in college who had to move. There were also a number of QB's who had GREAT passing % in college (> 70%) who never did anything in the NFL. Colt Brennan, Graham Harrell are two examples. The reason they were "suggested" to move is because they aren't athletes like Griffin is. Matt Jones and Randel El moved because they were great athletes. Could they pass like Griffin? No. Not even close.
Stop saying people are being racist. There isn't any basis for it. The only one being racist is you.

No he doesn't. All Tebow cares about is winning. He's doing that.

So you're telling me that if Tebow was giving the option to improve his passing game he wouldn't at all?
Also, I like the fact that Griffin gross thru his receivers before taking off running. It's refreshing to see.
