Cam is with UA, RG3 signs with Adidas, who does luck sign with.....Nike?

I also have to say Cam is far more marketable than RG3 that guy is fugly.

I have a feeling Luck's not going to be that great as a pitchman.

He may play like Peyton on the field, but I don't think he'll work as well in advertising. Peyton's arguably the best athlete pitchman ever. Luck strikes me as being more like Brady on that front. What few commercials got made with Brady all sucked (likely due to the fact that he has the charisma of a dead, rotting fish).

However great his football skills may turn out to be, Luck isn't exactly the most charismatic guy either. He comes off as a good kid, but I doubt he'll make a great salesman.

good for Griffin, I really like this guy, and will be watching his career with great interest

edit: also Adidas failed in morphing the 'three' in RGIII into the Adidas symbol

My pet peeve is how these QBs are being lumped together by our media. Cam and RGIII are always being compared to the Mike Vicks and Luck automatically gets to go to the head of the class because he's going to be better than the Peytons of the world. Why is that?

Also, it's funny how much we hide our true colors behind the media' perception of these athletes. Last year Cam was painted as a convict with all kinds of character issues by media and based on nothing more than speculations. RGIII is now the benefactor of a media's 180 because of how they treated Cam last draft season and them getting ther preferred QB going off the draftbboard 1st. Interesting.

Cam and RGIII both ooze charm and charisma in different ways. Cam it's his over-all self confidence. RG III, it's more his intellectual confidence. I give Cam's commericial the upper hand because of the music and he's not saying anything. He's just doing.

Your eally think RGIII is not getting the background scrutiny that Cam did because the media realized they were wrong about Cam? I don't think they are related at all. Unless I am wrong I don't think RGIII has any known past issues to scrutinize does he?

Your pet peeve is QB's getting lumped together by the media yet you are lumping QB's together for no apparent good reason at the same time?

RG3 is definitely benefitting from what Cam went thru last draft. A lot of scouts and media types are afraid of being deemed racially biased, so they've gone easier on him. They still stop short of proclaiming him better than the great hope. So its not like theyre elevating him above Luck, just tryin to regain credibility after throwing it out the window last year.

It makes me laugh that people can't admit Cam had question marks coming in.

RGIII has no such question marks about his past, only about his future. Cam's father, with or without Cam's knowledge, tried to make a boatload of cash for Cam's services in college. RGIII comes from a disciplined military background.

RGIII showed loyalty to the man that recruited him and changed his commitment from Houston to Baylor. Cam took advantage of being a college athlete and was arrested, accused of cheating on papers, etc. Cam eventually had to leave Florida and attend a JC before being allowed to play in D1 again. Cam spent 3 years at 3 different schools, showing no loyalty to any coach, only stepping over them when something better came calling. RGIII played all his years at the same university for the same coach and helped build a program.

Griffin spent 4 years in college, starting 3 of them. Cam spent 3 in college, starting 1 of them.

There will be tons of questions about his ability to play at the pro level, but to question his past would be insane, it's nothing close to Cam's. Cam brought everything on himself and to blame race is the easy way out for other blacks that feel wronged in their life. You won't see it with RGIII because he hasn't given anyone reason to question those things.

dude is an idiot for signing with adidas.

[Montsta]

Under Armour track pants = $56

Adidas track pants = $19

:cam:

[SOJA]

dude is an idiot for signing with adidas.

why? He can potentially be the face of Adidas football. With nike he is just another guy.

Also like he gives a poo about cleats and gear, its all about getting paid

[Kakarot]

RGIII's doing big things. Great pickup for Addidas. Can't wait to see how good this guy's going to be in the league. He and Cam are the future!

[Mr ocho nueve]

RG 3 just doesn't strike me as someone who will thrive in the NFL. Another Marcus Vick if you ask me.

It will be Newton and Luck leading the new class of QB's. (barring the fact we don't know how anything will turn out)
