Newton, Kaepernick and RGIII - The Running Men.

[One87]

1. In what order do you rank them in terms of having the most successful career (think numbers, durability/longevity..etc)?
2. In what order do you rank them as failing to reach potential?
3. Lastly, which has the best year next season?


Thank you for participating.

I think for all three questions I would rank them

RGIII
Newton
Kaepernick

I know that's the obvious answer....but how can RGIII not be #1 not only with his talent, but with a competent owner and franchise around him. And how can you not rank Kaepernick #3 out of the ones listed. People are all stoked on the kid after TWO games!!

Hahaha! The Redskins!?! They are easily top 5 for most laughable frnachises in the league since I've started watching football.

Best of the bunch next year....Cam
Most disappointing.....Kaper
Best career.....RG3

I agree with this ranking.

Thanks Whale and Mac. Whale, I need to spread more rep before hitting you up again. Rep to you Mac.

I assume we are talking real life football here and not how they will perform in terms of fantasy?

1. RG3, Newton, Kap

RG3 is the next Aaron Rodgers. He really doesn't share much in common with Cam Newton. They have completely different play styles. Cam is a giant, RG3 is a little guy. RG3 is leagues ahead as a passer and is an Olympic quality athlete in terms of his speed.

Kap may end up winning more championships than either of them though.

2. Cam, Kap, RG3

Cam has the biggest chance to never reach his potential. He is still extremely raw and developing as a passer. The jury is still out on Kaepernick I think so let's put him in the middle. I have zero doubts about RG3.

3. RG3, Cam, Kap

I'm guessing you are just talking about numbers here and not in terms of winning a championship.

The only answer here is RGIII, regardless of context. He is the truth.

[One87]

Thanks for the feedback, Price and Metal. Rep for both of you.

I honestly think Cam will have the better career, while RG3 has the highest upside. There is just something about Cams' frame and how he runs, that seems safer than RG3. Cam could be around for alot of years, but I'm worried that RG3 will have suffer something like Vick has done the last couple of years.

Next 2-3 years: RG3
Next 5+: Cam

I would rank them the same way.
