Christian Fauria of ESPN First take seems convinced than a certain overachieving kid from Texas who likes wearing ninja turtle tube socks with his matching “turtles don’t do drugs” T-shirt is going to win the Heisman. If you have read this blog before then you probably know this kid is none other Robert Griffin III or RG3 as the cool kids like to say. Now think about that for a minute, the little known quarterback from Baylor is going to beat out Andrew Luck? You may very well be asking yourself what this guy is smoking, but if you look at the evidence you will see that Robert Griffin III should win the Heisman trophy.
RG3 has gone 267 of 369(72.4%) for 3,998 yards passing with 36 touchdowns to only 6 interceptions. On the ground he has 644 yards on 161 rushes with 9 touchdowns and is averaging 4 yards a carry. That blows Andrew Luck’s 261 of 373 for 3,170 out of the water. He also has 1 less touchdown than RG3 and 4 more interceptions. Also, RG3 has much less talent around him at Baylor than Andrew Luck does at Stanford. Think about that, Griffin III has better stats than Andrew Luck with much less talent around him. The only thing I can see that Andrew Luck has going for him is a harder schedule, but I think the better stats with worse talent outweighs a slightly harder schedule.
I am expecting a well-spoken, very intelligent young man, wearing his ninja turtle tube socks with his suit, accepting the Heisman trophy in a few weeks in New York with all of the eloquence of a well trained politician.
