Per Gregg Rosenthal: Rookie QB Week 4 ranks: Tannehill or RG3?

[dsciambi]

Funny thing is, if anyone watched the NFL network Monday night pregame show, both Billick and D Green chose first quarter rookies of the year, and NEITHER chose RG3. Green chose Claiborne, and Billick chose Kalil. I could not believe my eyes and ears, but I guess RG3 is making this look so damn easy that people have forgotten he's a rookie!

Claiborne? Really? Is that DB bias? I've thought Claiborne looks terrible so far.

Well, I did not see the Dolfinks game....so cannot comment on Tannehill's performance. I would think that.....overall....the most consistent rookie performances at QB thusfar have been RGIII and Luck. At least....from this totally UNBIASED observer....should be a no brainer for RGIII

You realize the article is talking about Week 4 right?

Rg3 has been under duress in all 4 games. Given time to throw it is hard to say what he can do.Either way I am very happy to have Robert as the starting QB of the Washington Redskins.He is the total package and it doesn't really matter if any of the analyst think someone had a better game.

Even then, Tannehill committed 3 turnovers, including an INT in OT which set up the winning FG for their opponent. RG3 didn't commit any turnovers, had 366 total yards to Tannehill's 431 (0 rushing) which is more than RG3, but not nearly enough to mitigate 3 turnovers. Most importantly, rather than commit a turnover which almost directly resulted in his team's loss, RG3 led us downfield in time for a winning FG as time nearly expired.

This class is looking very good.

Tan, RG3 and Luck seem to be the next superstars.

Don't forget Russell Wilson. He's looked very good. Three more inches and he's picked ahead of Tannehil. And I hate to say because I despise all things Cleveland, but I think Weeden has also looked good lately. He had a historically bad opening game but I thought he was pretty damn impressive against the Ravens last week. Almost beat them.

From the start there's been talk that this past draft class might match up with the highly vaunted 1983 class. I think that's looking more and more legit.

Weeden got sacked by the flag....so I'ma say....bust.

But he's gotten better every week and almost beat the Ravens last week. As I said, it hurts to praise Cleveland but I can't deny what I see. That said,I still think it was an immensely stupid pick. Cleveland is so bad, by the time they build something around him he'll be close to retirement

Wonder if he'd redact that prediction after Claiborne got torched by Hester.

I'd slow your roll on the whole Tannehill=superstar talk. This is his only good game and he still threw more interceptions that TDs. It's way, way too early to know what Tannehill will become, but I'm skeptical that he ends up any better than league average.

RGIII lines up with Elway - clutch and has the ability to scramble.
Luck lines up with Marino - proficient passing
Kelly lines up with...who'd you say

Out of curiosity did you watch the game?

If you only read the box score and watched highlights then you have no idea how Tannehill played.
I watched both Tannehill and Griffin, and imo Tannehill had the better passing game in week 4.
