Out of Luck
A storybook season ends for two high-profile rookie quarterbacks.
One of the NFL’s biggest storylines this season has revolved around a pair of rookie quarterbacks taken in the top two spots in the 2012 draft. Which would be the better option? Could either of them turn around flailing franchises?
The Indianapolis Colts were so committed to spending the number one pick on Stanford’s Andrew Luck that they parted with future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, the man who practically built Lucas Oil Field. The Washington Redskins trade up at great cost to snag Baylor star Robert Griffin III with the second overall pick.
Neither team regretted their choice. Luck threw 23 touchdowns to 18 interceptions for 4,374 yards. He added 255 yards and five rushing touchdowns with his feet. Griffin tossed 20 touchdowns against just five picks, throwing for 3,200 yards and adding 815 yards and seven scores on the ground.
Luck’s interception total could have been lower and his completion percentage (54 percent) higher. Griffin could have waited in the pocket and thrown a little more. But the top-line team numbers don’t lie. The Colts went from last place at 2-14 to 11-5 and a playoff appearance in just one season. The Redskins improved from 5-11 to 10-6, winning the NFC East, making the postseason for the first time in five years, and having their first home playoff game in 13 years.
On wild-card weekend, both storybook seasons came to an end. Luck fought hard, leading the offense on long drives that accumulated 419 yards and 25 first downs. The Colts dominated the Baltimore Ravens by a full 15 minutes in the time of possession.
But Indy couldn’t punch the ball in the end zone, settling for three field goals. They also had a pair of turnovers, including a Luck interception, and an uncharacteristic Adam Vinatieri miss. The Ravens made big plays and beat them by 24 to 9.
The Redskins’ game started promisingly enough. Griffin, though clearly never 100 percent, and running back Alfred Morris initially ran the ball down the Seattle Seahawks’ throats. Washington opened by scoring touchdowns on their first two drives, with a Seattle three-and-out sandwiched in between.
After that, the Redskins didn’t do much else on offense. Griffin reinjured his knee, with his condition deteriorating until he was totally ineffective. He took the hits until he couldn’t get up. Coach Mike Shanahan inserted backup Kirk Cousins — who has a good arm — too late. It wasn’t as bad the Minnesota Vikings when Joe Webb playing in place of Christian Ponder forced them to rely on Adrian Peterson alone, but it was bad enough.
The Redskins held on to their lead until the fourth quarter, but fell to the one-two punch of rookie quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch. Lynch rushed for 132 yards and capped off the night with a 27-yard touchdown run.
Now Wilson, who wasn’t in even supposed to be a starter this season, is the last rookie quarterback standing the playoffs. The 5’11 Wisconsin graduate was drafted to compete with offseason acquisition Matt Flynn, who had impressed as a backup in Green Bay, and incumbent Tarvaris Jackson. Wilson unexpectedly won the job, as Flynn became an expensive clipboard-holder and Jackson shuffled off to Buffalo.
Going forward, the Redskins probably have more to worry about. They need Griffin’s need to heal fully, especially if they wind up trading Cousins to replenish depleted draft picks. As Michael Vick demonstrated, even the most talented run-heavy quarterbacks in the NFL are spotty and injury-prone. Can Griffin make the transition to running to supplement the pass more, like Aaron Rodgers or Ben Roethlisberger?
With Luck, the Colts need to bolster the offensive line to protect him better. A main reason for Sunday’s loss was that the pocket kept collapsing, making a win against a good defense too tall an order for a first-year signal-caller. The defense could also use improvement, as Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco picked apart that secondary at times.
The Redskins’ offensive line has improved. But the pass blocking could still use some work, if the team hopes to keep Griffin the pocket more.
Football may be a young man’s game, but it is the era of these two young men yet. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, both still better than either Luck or Griffin, are getting ready to take the field for the playoffs. Ray Lewis, the Baltimore linebacker who recently announced this will be his last season, returned to lead his team with nine tackles in the victory over the Colts.
Two of the worst teams in football a year ago are now headed in the right direction. But neither of them has reached their destination just yet.

Running back Alfred Morris initially ran the ball down the Seattle Seahawks’ throats.
----------------------------------------------------
2 drives does not a game make; the Deadskins ran for a total of 43 yards in quarters 2,3, and 4...the Seahawks' line blew up the Skins, whose vaunted defense gave up 380 combined passing and rushing yards
Von Mises Jr| 1.7.13 @ 11:06AM
I dislike both the Seahawks and the Redskins, but I was rooting for the Skins because of RGIII. He is son of military, well educated and well spoken, and probably a conservative.
What frost me is that Snyder and Shanahan knew he was not ready per the doctor, saw he was limping badly early in the game and couldn't give a crap about the black guy. RGIII's greatness is his ability to run and throw. Once he could not run, he was a sitting duck.
You could see his knee was screwed up when it extended in the wrong direction when he was injured against the Ravens. His knee went sideways last night even without being hit. He may not be the same again, but even if he is, the liberals in DC could give a shit about the black guy. He was a pawn in their striving for glory in the Capitol.
Occam's Tool| 1.7.13 @ 11:10AM
"Griffin's knee," Mr. Antle.
And the job of a football coach is to know when to tell the future of the franchise to sit the "f" down. Nice job, dickheads. RGIII is a national treasure.
Von Mises Jr| 1.7.13 @ 11:43AM
I saw Elway play when the Giants beat them ending their undefeated season at 13-0. Elway was one of the best quarterbacks to play the game, but I am not so sure he is a very nice guy. But he may be correct with despising Shanahan.
TLP| 1.7.13 @ 2:22PM
When I saw that game - and I don't remember which game it was - where Robert Griffen's Knee got hyperextended when that Linebacker hit him near the end of the game, I called my Brother in Law, and told him to watch the tape.
I told him that I'd be surprised if he could ever walk again, let alone Play.
I guess I was right.
GOD Bless him, anyway.
I love that Kid.
And, I'm a GIANTS fan.
I'm 55.
I can call him a Kid.
spike59| 1.7.13 @ 2:57PM
I told him that I'd be surprised if he could ever walk again, let alone Play.
----------------------------
he walked off the field, and walked back on at the end of the game...be surprised
TLP| 1.7.13 @ 4:26PM
He was not the same Player, after the first Quarter.
I'm not surprised.
Von Mises Jr| 1.7.13 @ 3:21PM
I was a Cowboy fan back in the old days pissing off my family as we watched games from right behind the Giants bench. Since Jerry Jones and Tony Romo came on the scene, I have routed for the Giants in the division. But I am not sorry for rooting for the great Cowboy teams and QB's through Troy Aikman.
It was the Ravens that hit RGIII and his knee went sideways. I did not think he would be back this year.
I have really been rooting for Baltimore since they are like the Giants of the AFC where they will smash and intimidate opponents like all the greats we seen in that pervert Taylor, Carson, Banks, etc....
I was rooting for the Skins with difficulty, but RGIII made me do it.
I don't get to go to the games much anymore since we lost our seats with the new stadium where they forced out old timers from the best seats with $20K license fees and $700 tickets. So while I like Eli, the Giants disrespected the fans again even after they finally paid for a star QB.
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 3:48PM
He walked off the field.
He's young, strong, and will heal just fine.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 6:42PM
Absent further evaluation, including CT or MRI scans, not to mention orthopedic testing, no one can tell what actual intra-joint damage has been actually done. That he walked probably has to do more with his being a superlative athlete with a higher than normal pain threshold.
spike59| 1.7.13 @ 3:03PM
The job of the football coach is to know how to stop the other team's offense...and you might try giving your premier back more than 16 carries...THAT'S where shanahan f***ed up!
Offense wins spotlights, defense wins championships...and the games are won or lost at the line of scrimmage
spike59| 1.7.13 @ 3:23PM
...and his injury caused the 'skins to give up 24 points HOW???????
Bob James| 1.7.13 @ 4:37PM
I was rooting for the Seahawks because I used to be a fan back in the day, and went to their first home game as a franchise. Also, despite living in metro DC, I loathe the Deadskins.
But I agree - Griffin may well be my favorite NFL player. I was stunned, shocked, then horrified that Shanahan left an obviously crippled man in to just get battered to no purpose. Cousins has demonstrated more than once that he's a capable backup. What Shanahan did - or, rather, what he *didn't* do - was criminal.
TLP| 1.7.13 @ 6:34AM
Is it my imagination, or are both of these guys really Goofey Looking?

My, my, my, has football changed. I suppose HD television should be blamed; it's simply TMVI (Too Much Visual Information).
I long for the days when the true Heros of football had their noses re-set multiple times, were missing multiple teeth, had multiple scars on their faces...and many were, frankly, butt ugly.
And now to satisfy the TLP's of the World they must have model looks with acceptably coiffed hair.
First it was QueenoftheNet, now you guys. What gives?
Give me more CRACKed jawbones and less TV shots of Dez Bryant's ass CRACK.
But that's just me, part of the dying breed...

Bob Grant| 1.7.13 @ 5:26PM
Spike,
Like I said, TMVI!
It's hard not to notice ass flowing out of Cowboys Blue football pants on one's 60 inch HD television. Try as you might...
Football pants USED to have draw strings and belts, and it was a league rule to keep your jersey tucked in at all times.
It was a good rule.
I sometimes wonder what Pete Rozelle would think about the NFL 2013.
Drunken Sailor| 1.7.13 @ 3:47PM
I blame Namath. He started all this crap
JimH| 1.7.13 @ 8:28AM
I’m a big fan of RGIII, but be he does sort of look like a buffed up Robert Townsend as Maubee in the Mighty Quinn. As for these teams being knocked out in the first round, don’t forget that the reason they were chosen at the top of the draft was that these teams last year were terrible. They both have a few more holes to patch.
bopberrigan| 1.7.13 @ 7:44AM
Luck and Griffin sputtered out as do most supernovae. QBs that grind it out over the years, improving all the time, are the ones that establish a franchise. In 3-4 years let's compare Tebow to Luck and Griffin.

Shanahan was an idiot to keep Griffin in the game. It was obvious he was too hurt to play. Running quarterbacks don't last long in the NFL and RG3 is no exception.

"Shanahan was an idiot to keep his offensive and defensive lines in the game."

And, got his ASS KICKED, yesterday.
How's it going, Occam?
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 9:36AM
Watching the RAVENS pummel the COLTS yesterday - in Baltimore - was not only fun to watch, it was cathartic.
It's been almost 30 years since the COLTS snuck out-of-town in the dead of a cold, winter's night to relocate to Indianapolis. While I bear no particular animus against Indy anymore - like I said, it's been almost 30 years, and Baltimore has a successful team of her own, now - it still feels good.
And doubly sweet - It was the last home appearance of the GREAT Ray Lewis, the game's best-ever linebacker, and future first-round HOF-er.
Playing injured, Lewis led his team in tackles. Say what you want about the man, he inspires those around him to play to a higher level.
Here's hoping they can take that intensity to Denver next week.
Bob Grant| 1.7.13 @ 9:39AM
Dr. Right,
Next time you ask for Ray Lewis' autograph, could you ask him what he did with that white suit?
TLP| 1.7.13 @ 10:22AM
And the White Guy that was in it.
irish19| 1.7.13 @ 11:15AM
Best ever linebacker???? Please!! Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke were both much better.
CJW| 1.7.13 @ 2:55PM
Jack Lambert and Jack Ham are the best. They played the run and pass defense, and played on four Super Bowl winners. They played in the old 4-3 defense.
In the modern 3-4 where the right outside linebacker is basically the right end who now gets a three yard running start, Lawrence Taylor, then James Harrison.
Taylor changed the game with his rushing ability, and increased the value of the left tackle that has to block the outside linebacker. I read that the highest paid position, after quarterback, is left tackle.
Ray Lewis is a loser.
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 3:46PM
A "loser"?
You do realize that 99.99% of people who actually understand football would disagree?
Let's see...
The only player in NFL history with 40+ sacks and 30+ interceptions...
2-time league defensive MVP
3-time AFC defensive MVP
2-time NFL linebacker of the year
13-time Pro-Bowler ( a record for linebackers)
Most games started at middle linebacker in NFL history
Super-Bowl MVP
Future HOF-er
Yeah...he's a real loser...
Your team should be so lucky to have a "loser" like Lewis.
CJW| 1.7.13 @ 7:24PM
Well, maybe not loser according to the stats you mention,.
But you forgot:
Indicted for murder of two in a knife fight.
Charges were reduced because Lewis pled guilty to obstruction of justice, a mideameanor. As part of the deal Lewis testified against his two friends, who were found not guilty.
Lewis paid a $250,000 fine to NFL for lying to police.
Yes, he can tackle, but his is a LOSER. I don't remember, but did the Ravens or NFL suspend him?
He will make the HOF, they should put his bust next to OJ Simpson.
Steelers have won SIX Super Bowls without a loser like Lewis. Ravens won ONE with Lewis.
What is the Ravens' record against the Steelers during Lewis's career? Steelers have beaten the Lewis Ravens three times in post season, and lead overall in regular season since Lewis started.
Don't need Lewis.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 3:10PM
And neither of those two old timers ever engaged in silly, preening pre-game dances. Just an aside, I like your number19, and although I love the Fighting Irish, I believe they don't have enough to overcome the Tide's defense.
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 3:42PM
Ray Lewis' dance is for the fans; they love it, so why shouldn't he do it?
Preening? Please...Lewis is hardly preening. Unlike the real preening jackasses (Ochocinco, for example), Lewis backs up his words with deeds. He brings his A-Game every week, and proves it on the field.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 4:02PM
Yes, preening. I'm not from Baltimore, but if the fans there need the preening antics to get fired up, so be it. I just see it as preening and drawing attention to himself, though in my opinion he needs not to do it, as his game does it for him. As to your assertion the old timers, they may or may not have possessed the strength, conditioning or speed, I do remember Ray Nitschke kicking butt and taking names though hobbled by a bum knee. By the way, I did not question Lewis' game, not withstanding of course, the one where the Cowboys ran roughshod over them earlier in the season, only to lose it by mismanaging the clock at the end of the game.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 4:08PM
And by the way, did you play in the NFL in the sixties? For if not, there's no way in hell you can know what those guys could and could not do. Moreover, do you remember Chuck Bednarik of the Eagles? He started both ways, as did many others, though nary any in the modern game.
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 4:22PM
Did YOU play in the NFL in the 1960's?
You do realize that Bednarik's physical conditioning was executed against men who lived and played in the same era, right?
In other words, none of them (Bednarik, included) would be in the physical shape to withstand a season in today's NFL.
If he played today, Bednarik would NOT play both defense and offense. No-way.
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 4:18PM
I'm all verklempt.
If Lewis played for your team, you'd love him, "preening" and all.
And Ray Nitschke isn't the only guy to have ever played hurt.
Cowboys fan? Too bad. They are the only team in the league to have NEVER beaten the Ravens.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 4:56PM
I'm not in love with any football player. The only player I ever looked up to, was a guy I met at Cowboys' training camp in Thousand Oaks in the late seventies, and he did not engage in unseemly preening, pregame dances. His name is Roger Staubach.
The Cowboys may not have beaten the Ravens, but they sure rammed the ball down their pretty little throats earlier in the year, to the tune of 227 yards on the ground, and a total of 481 yards of offense. They did everything but win; and would have won, had they not missed a late field goal. Which means, they were not beaten, they managed to lose the game, as they did many other times all on their own. Prior to that same game, though, Lewis did bring his A-dance, as it were, though I don't know what else he brought, as he was knocked out by a third string running back, as that vaunted defense was run run over, through and around, to the tune of 227 rushing yards, and 481 yards of total offense. If you ask me, any type of fanhood that requires a self-preening, clownish act to get into the groove, doesn't really merit much if any attention. But that's just me.
Bob Grant| 1.7.13 @ 4:17PM
Imagine Mean Joe Greene, Too Tall Jones, Jack Lambert, or the Youngbloods exiting the game like that?
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 4:19PM
If they played today, they would.
Then again, none of them was a s good as Lewis, so maybe they wouldn't have...
Doctor Right| 1.7.13 @ 3:39PM
Wrong.
Butkus and Nitschke could not even survive in today's game. They did not possess the strength, conditioning, or speed that players have today.
Players back then were mentally tougher, but not physically.
Lewis was better than both, and will be remembered as such.
JmsA| 1.7.13 @ 6:09PM
Are you a kinesiologist, physiologist, orthopedist, RPT, or chiropractor who plied any such trades, or for that matter, a player in the NFL, or that prior to its advent? If you cannot answer any of the above questions in the affirmative, you're not anything but an enthralled fan, engaging in nothing but surmise and speculation. As to the old-timers not being as strong as contemporary players, I remember Ernie Stautner, the old Steeler and former Cowboys line coach, by then at least in his mid-fifties, more than holding his own while lifting weights in Cowboys camp with players at least thirty-plus years younger than him, including Randy White ("Manster), who was one of the strongest human beings, let alone football players I've had the distinct pleasure to watch up close.
Ray Lewis is a very good linebacker, and quite possibly, if not probably one of the best ever. But much of his success has to do with the guys that play in front of him, namely the down defensive linemen, who engage and keep offensive linemen off of him. He doesn't do it in a vacuum. If you don't see that, then you don't you much about the game. Many others have done the same for their teams, including one of my all time favorites, Eugene "the hitting machine" Lockhart, who set an NFL/Cowboys seasonal tackling record of 222 tackles in 1989. The current record is unofficially held by Patrick Willis with 226.
Bob Grant| 1.7.13 @ 9:36AM
Shanahan f--ed up by keeping Griffin in the game. He clearly couldn't run and CLEARLY couldn't plant to throw an accurate pass.
I love the guy but Griffin was worthless from the second quarter and beyond.
How an ailing rookie quarterback could talk his seasoned coach into remaining in the game is beyond explanation. It's probably the first time in history an injured player want's to stay in the game.
Shanahan couldn't make a simple coaching decision and so today he waits for the fateful results of an MRI.
Moving forward, go Broncos!
spike59| 1.7.13 @ 9:42AM
soooo...it was Griffin who couldn't carry the load at RB? it was Griffin who couldn't control the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball? it was Griffin who gave up 380 yards and 24 points?????

Who Knows?| 1.7.13 @ 11:57AM
As usual, west coast teams lose in the media game---demographics, and late games, and all that.
Me, I’m a big Russell Wilson fan.
Remember Joe Montana? The guy wanted to play basketball at North Carolina, but wasn’t good enough, but he did take his bball skills and apply them as a q-back.
I’m NOT saying Wilson is a Montana, but as a little guy, actually 5’ 10” plus, he does seem more like a point guard, who can shoot threes.
His quickness reminds me of Tim Hardaway, late of the SF Warriors, whose crossover left opponents with twisted ankles.
He’s also very good looking, not a “freak” like the other two hot shots, Luck and RG III. Like many so-called African-Americans, he looks to me like he’s got some white blood in his past.
For underdog lovers, the success of a short and smallish guy in the NFL, so full of mammoth racers, beats that of the tall Luck and taller RG III.
Besides, physical size isn’t everything. A Wilson-type q-back shows how to “be” the whole football field, in essence. That is, when the ball is snapped, he has EYES on the layout of opponents, and the way they move around, using peripheral vision, and can escape the “staring down a receiver” problem.
Yeah---look for Wilson to standout, for years.

On the whole, Luck did OK on Sunday, but was mostly done in by Raven-terrorized receivers dropping the ball at key moments. As he and the team mature, they'll improve. Not so likely for the Ravens, who are headed for rebuilding soon.
Cpm| 1.7.13 @ 9:22PM
Griffin should have been pulled after they went up 14-3. It was obvious to everybody watching that he was immobile and in trouble. Shame on his coach for not pulling him. And the season continues for the low-profile rookie quarterback.
