Since I can't start two polls in he same thread. Vote for your favorite here. Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, or someone else.

How awesome would it be if for years these 3 guys battle out the NFL version of Bird vs Magic?

Yeah this should probably be "OROTY poll" since the NFL/AP gives out both offensive and defensive awards.

There were a lot of great rookie performances this year.

Offense
1.Robert Griffin III
3.Russell Wilson
Andrew Luck
2.Alfred Morris
Doug Martin
Matt Kalil

Defense
Lavonte David
3.Casey Hayward
Vontaze Burfict
2.Luke Kuechly
1.Bobby Wagner
Bruce Irvin
Chandler Jones

A strong argument can be made for Luck. He's breaking rookie records left and right. He also doesn't have a running game to take the pressure off like RGIII and Wilson do (ranked 1 and 2 respectively). Seattle has a top 5 D and Washington has a respectable D. The only thing the Colts have to hang their hat on is their pass attack with Luck at the helm. He has basically took a 2 win team to a 10 win team single handily.

Washington's defense is 28th. That's far from respectable

Don't let numbers fool you. They're respectable. Sure they're 28th overall, but that's because their secondary has given up some big plays over the year. Their run D is top 5, as is their turnover margin sitting at 3rd (10th overall in forced turnovers). Total defense isn't all there is to measuring how good a defense is.

My point was Indy sucks in every category except Luck and the pass game.

Heinz Ward was just on the DP show, and he was talking about how the Cowboys may have a decent gameplan for RGIII since they are getting a second shot at him. He pointed out that Cam Newton took the league by storm with his dual-threat ability, but had a sophomore slump as NFL teams learned his tendencies.

That got the wheels turning. Is Luck likely to be the most improved next season? With his style, he's more likely to figure out NFL defenses than they are to figure him out.

Having said all that, if you could take any of the 3 QBs, who would it be?

If it's to win a game tomorrow, I'm taking RGIII. If it's a career, I'll take Luck.

I have 100% confidence in Luck. I would have been very angry if the Colts had passed on him for Griffin. One thing to keep in mind is I would guarantee Griffin will miss time every year due to injury.

Easy. Gimme Luck for a career. RGIII if I had to win this week.

ESPN was showing stats about how RGIII was by far the best QB on play-action this season. Part of it is RGIII's ability as a throwing QB, part of it is the dual threat to run, but you have to think a big part of it is Morris tearing it up.
