Why Heckert Won't Pull The Trigger On Rg3

Sorry, but other than #5 your points read like a case against Colt... You are making me reconsider my previous support of him.

It's simply a list of things he could get better at.
Every QB in the league has 5 things they could improve on.
McCoy is the real deal, but we want the flavor of the month RG30000 TI-80 bot sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor.
Give McCoy the two T's, Time, Talent. Talent comes first.

I can say two things with nearly 100% certainty. 1) Colt won't be traded 2) if we did trade Colt we wouldn't get anything more than a 4th round pick for him and that's pushing it.
Pure numbers can't be used, variables need to be taken into account. And the fact that you have two big 12 QB's has nothing to do with it like one person pointed out. Texas was loaded with talent top to bottom. McCoy was working with an elite group of college players and looked good. RG3 had to turn a very subpar Baylor team into contenders with teams that had hands down more talent then they did.
You then have to look at NFL caliber throws, McCoy never made those throws while Griffin did. Size: that goes to RG3 as well, granted not by much but he's still bigger. Not to mention that McCoy is a solid runner but he's not near the athlete Robert Griffin is.
Bottom line, there's no comparison between Colt and Robert.

lmao....i love it. there's so many thing wrong with this....all rolled up into one....that im having a hard time determining where to begin. um...you cant know #2) because you know #1) with 100% certainty....

exactly what metric are you using for this assertion besides win loss record?

there's more to "nfl caliber throws" than 5 yard hitches and the deep ball. perhaps griffin knows how to throw an out route....but we dont know cause he possibly hasn't ever thrown one....or taken a snap from under center. 6'1" 216 vs. 6"2" 220? youre even gonna mention size?
Bottom line, there's no comparison between Colt and Robert.
well, except all the similarities of conference, stats, opponents, size, smarts, system, few deficiencies....but youre right....no comparison. -
Choco, it's completely reasonable to give a hypothetical outcome to an unlikely scenario. I know we won't trade Colt and I know that his lack luster performance wouldn't garner huge value if he was indeed traded. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about that.
As for everything else, all I'll do is defer to the GM's across the league that agree with me and not with you. They feel that Griffin is worthy of a top pick in the draft while most didn't give McCoy a second look. But if you're one of the fans who know more than everyone else than I suggest you waste no more time and get involved in some sort of role at in a football program somewhere and your expertise at recognizing McCoys and Griffins erie similarities will no doubt shoot you up through the ranks with a sure fire endpoint of being an NFL GM. Good luck on that one. But until then you're some guy on a message board trying to pull rank and knock a legitimate point made by an informed fan.

Sniff, sniff... Did someone just fart or is that an air of superiority I smell?

If the Browns take RGIII, they need to trade Colt. If they don't, I guarantee you that there will be a QB controversy in CLE... and they tear apart teams as well as fan bases. Wallace is an adequate back up and virtually identical in style to RG. That alone would simplify game planning, practices, etc.
Stats are meaningful. In Colt's career stats you can see that '08 was his best year, but in '09, after much of that "elite talent" had left, his production drop off was not that great.

As for Colt's elite Texas teammates... most of them played defense. The offensive studs were gone by his senior year. If I missed some, please point out who.

For contrast let's look at all the schmucks RG with whom RG was stuck. Hmmmm... It would seem he played or is coming out with a number of draft-worthy offensive mates. Interesting...

As for arm strength... no doubt RG has a stronger arm. Ditto for the legs... As I've posted elsewhere, those are reasons to not draft him, unless he has the aptitude and work ethic to compliment them. As for Colt he made plenty of throws he needed to make at the college level as well. NFL caliber? Pffft.. you write as if throwing through a brick wall was the only thing that matters. It's not...
Disagree on Colt's value... easily worth a 3rd, IMO, at least a conditional 3rd. However, if teams sense an urgency to move him, then obviously his value drops.

I believe Colt is making less than Seneca. If that is the case, Colt would make a serviceble back up.
