Andrew Luck

Andrew Luck is going to have mighty big shoes to fill as quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts with Peyton Manning signing with the Broncos. On top of that, he is the most anticipated prospect coming out of the 2012 draft class. He has all the attributes that make up a franchise quarterback. He has the mind set and patience to be a premier passer. The only question concerning him is, can he live up to the hype? I'm not so sure. His stats his senior season at Stanford, in my opinion, were dissapointing despite the fact he put up the second best numbers in college football. He was predicted to separate himself by a HUGE margin from the other quarterbacks in the NCAA, including RGIII. That prediction did not turn out, as RGIII strutted his way to become the Heisman Trophy Winner. However,  he was drafted number one overall by the Colts, one spot before RGIII. He is a great and natural athlete, but with no weapons at all running routes for him, and on a team that is rebuilding, he is going to show up day 1 with the attitude of a veteran.

Ryan Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill has many question to answer this year. He is now reportedly on "even foot" for the Dolphins starting quarterback job. To make things hard, he has a lack of weapons to use. The Dolphins are going to have to add a veteran wide receiver, or get lucky with a couple of young pass catchers to have any shot of quickly becoming a premier offense and compete with their divisional foes from Boston. Tannehill is also the least experienced, but underrated quarterbacks of the 2012 draft. He showed impecable timing with his wide outs, after being the top receiver for A&M for 2 1/2 years, before transferring over to his initial job at quarterback. He possesses all the ideal physical attributes a team could ask for in a quarterback, plus he's extremely athletic. He's wide receivers his senior year dropped a total of 72 passes, hurting his completion percentage. I believe he'll be the next Troy Aikman. He'll win the starting job from Matt Moore and David Garrard, but he'll put up awful rookie stats. After a few years and hopefully a couple more weapons, he'll develop into a premier passer and write his self into the Hall of Fame, along with a fellow member of his draft class, Andrew Luck.

RGIII

Robert Griffin III(better known as RG3) is officially the starter for Shanahan's Redskins. He is expected to make an instant impact as a roookie and challenge Cam Newton's cinderalla like rookie stats. The Redskins have made his job a little easier with the help of studs like Pierre Garcon, and Veteran Santana Moss who is reportedly as healthy as ever. Also, he'll have rising star tight end Fred Davis and the Redskins leading wide receiver from last year, Fred Davis, running routes for him. He has the speed, arm strength, physical attributes, and the brain to become a franchise quarterback in the state's capital.
