Which major 2nd year QB is most likely to suffer the sophomore slump this season?
BwareDWare94 said:We need to remember that Luck had something like 14 dropped INTs. While that number is sure to shrink this coming season, he clearly has the weakest team and coaching staff surrounding him. At the same time, I don't care how good of a passer RG3 is, he is going to be neutralized this coming year--to a great degree. The defenses in his division are much fiercer than those of Andrew Luck's division, and with 2 games apiece against the laughable Jaguars and the lackluster Titans, the Colts are looking at 4-0 in that stretch already. They only need to go .500 the rest of the way to be a playoff contender. RG3 has to compete with two top 10 QBs in Eli and Romo, not to mention the longest lineup of pass rushers (Ware, Spencer, JPP, Tuck, Moore, Orakpo, Kerrigan, Selvie (if he makes Dallas' roster), Trent motherfucking Cole (one of the most underrated players of the last 10 years), Brandon Graham, etc, etc.) of any division in the league. RG3 is fucked unless both Dallas and NYG have an extreme amount of injuries again.
Wilson has the second best running back in the game at his disposal and one of the best five defenses in the league to bail his ass out. Unless he completely shits the bed, he'll take Seattle to the playoffs again, barring drastic injury.

What difference does it make who the QB is on the other side of the field? He's not directly competing with any of them.
Orakpo and Kerrigan are Redskins, so I don't understand why you listed them. Trent Cole was terrible last year. Graham, Selvie and Moore (rookie unknown) aren't even worth mentioning... you just added all of those names to make the list look longer.
Either way, none of those players did a damn thing last year. Skins were 5-1 in the division.
Haha, the Redskins benefited from injuries... because the Skins were healthy, right?BwareDWare94 said:
Yeah, I added Orakpo and Kerrigan by accident because I was thinking of every pass rusher in the division. My bad.
The Redskins benefited from mass injuries in Dallas and a Giants crew that had their own share of injuries and just wasn't playing that well.
It does matter. Absolutely. The 'skins have a better shot of going 1-5 in the division than they do of repeating the 5-1 mark. Guaranteed.
Washington didn't have their 2nd best player for the whole year, and it's the Skins that benefited? Orakpo+Kerrigan is scarier than Cole+Barwin and Ware+Spencer, plus maybe JPP+Tuck too. No way the Skins go 1-5 in the division. 4-2 is more likelyBwareDWare94 said:Yeah, I added Orakpo and Kerrigan by accident because I was thinking of every pass rusher in the division. My bad.

They were missing their second best player? Dallas was missing half their defense. NYG was missing their best corner.
Orakpo + Kerrigan is not scarier than JPP/Tuck lol. And if Spencer plays like he did last year, it's not scarier than Ware/Spencer. No way.
