I have Aaron Rodgers and RGIII at QB, and RGIII is out playing ARodg so far. Pretty cray. Do you guys think RGIII can keep this up the rest of the season? I'll post my opinion after I hear from you guys.

Do I think he can keep up having a great season? Yes.

Do I think he will still be out playing Rodgers at the end of the season? No.

[d3vanj]

No. I don't even know if his production continues through the next game to be honest. He got DESTROYED at Cincinatti. Not statistically, but physically. They hit him hard and often. Those options they are trying to run will be the death of him.

[jhutch]

Those options they run sure are exciting to watch though! But yeah, he got really beat up. Wouldn't surprise me if they go out and try a little harder to make sure they protect him. Which may or may not mean bad news for RGIII statistically.

[d3vanj]

I think that even if they eliminate the option from their offense in order to better protect him, he will still excel as a traditional QB. RGIII has the skills to be a great pocket passer, and adding in the fact that he could scramble for a few yards just makes him that much more dangerous. I don't really think the option is necessary, or worth risking him breaking his collar bone and missing a month -- or another injury along those ilnes.

Here's the better question. Should I trade him? What point would I be selling high on RGIII?

I'm sure he can keep it up, it should be at least 20-25 more years before he struggles a bit. If he's having trouble now he should see a doctor.

20-25 more years???? What on earth

[d3vanj]

Right now. He's had 3 outstanding games and I can see Shannahan putting more emphasis on protecting him rather than exploiting his athleticism and putting him at higher risk for injury.

"keep it up"

"keep it up"

I'm so lost. That would put him "keeping it up" until hes 43-47 years old...... He will be lucky to get to 35

Here's what I'd do..

Griffin is an amazing NFL talent. But his OL is trash and he's taking a beating. Even if he stays healthy I see his production being inconsistent when it comes to playing vs good pass rushes.

Rodgers is a proven, consistent commodity with HUGE weekly potential, and a high floor. I sell high on RG3 personally.

[kliquid]

If he stays healthy, he will be a top-5 fantasy QB.

[Survivor]

Just an update... I traded him straight up for Alfred Morris right after he got his concussion... He has had some really good games but I'd never start him over Rodgers. Alfred Morris has done awesome and I'm in my championship this week against the guy I traded with. It's pretty intense.

 

Watch RGIII go off for 50 pts against the iggles and the trade have ruined my chance at a trophy. 

[Survivor]

For my championship game this week here is my starters. I feel pretty confident:

 

QB - Aaron Rodgers vs Tennessee

HB - BenJarvus Green-Ellis vs Pittsburgh

HB - Alfred Morris vs Iggles

WR - Andre Johnson vs Minnesota

WR - Julio Jones vs Detroit

WR - Brandon Lloyd vs Jacksonville

TE - Heath Miller vs Cincy 

D/ST -  Colts Defense vs Chiefs 

K - Connor Barth vs St Louis

[jhutch]

Thinking this game is going to come down to Julio's performance

BJGE?
