      I'm not sure he made a play on or for the ball. He committed one of the most obvious OPI calls I've ever seen. Professional receivers know how to commit OPI and disguise it. Even Kordell Stewart could do that! RGII is clearly not an NFL-caliber reciever, at least not yet, merely on his inability to disguise OPI.

            Oh I'm not doubting that RG3 committed an egregious offensive pass interference foul. My point was, how ridiculous it was he was even out receiving a deep pass. Of course the Steelers lit his *** up.

                  Yeah, but you're talking about hitting them when they are making normal quarterback plays. It was absolutely idiotic for the Redskins to put him in that position.

                    Wilbon said on PTI last night that Luck was slightly more impressive than RGIII. Luck is the bigger deal right now.

                      Don't want to get tackled? Play flag football instead.

                          Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

                          What's important in the Luck vs RG3 debate right now, especially for Colts fans, is that there IS a debate with several games as evidence. Some posters' feelings to the contrary but the fact is Luck has kept his name in the discussion for ROY with his play on the field.
                          Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

                            Agree. But if they're dumb enough do that, it isn't my problem and the defense should be salivating over the chance to put a clean hit on gut that usually gets to wear a red jersey. What's especially stupid is that they tried this against a secondary that wasn't assembled because of their ability to be quick or for tight coverage, but for their ability to lay big hits on ball carriers. At the very least, they should have saved that play for a quicker, softer secondary.

                            The worst thing he could have done was actually catch the ball in the field of play. He would have been crushed.

                              So this debate will flip flop all year for most in the sports world, I think it will basically come down to who is hottest when the ROY ballets go out. Right now I give the edge to Luck in the ROY race, way better record, playing on a team with 20+ million locked up in cap, and leading the rookie class in yds, attempts and touchdowns. But a big performance from RG3 next week and a bad one by Luck and the views by most will switch in an instant.

                              Pick who ever you like, it really doesn't matter.

                                I don't get caught up flip-flopping. Doesn't matter who has a better week next week, I know what I'm looking at. Been saying it from day 1, Luck is the better player, always will be.
