Remember Eli"s first game against the Ravens ? A " Cake Walk " compared to what the Big Blue Nascar's Defense is gonna do to this kid.

RG3, don't recall any successful QB with a Nick Name, he better be ready to back up all his talk, he's ****y and has to have a positive attitude about his future, but he is making it real hard on himself at this point.

Otto "Automatic Otto" Graham
Sammy "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh
Daryle "The Mad Bomber" Lamonica
Joe "Broadway Joe" Namath
Ken "The Snake" Stabler
Roger "Captain Comeback" Staubach
Tom "Tom Terrific" Brady
John "The Comeback Kid" Elway
Steve "Air McNair" McNair
Ron "The Polish Rifle" "Jaws" Jaworski
And of course, Eli "Easy E" Manning
Every single one of those QBs had at least some success. Of the ones that played in the Super Bowl era, each one played in at least one Super Bowl. I'm not saying that Griffin will be successful, but your theory doesn't really hold up. Besides, RG3 isn't much of a nickname; it's more like his initials.

I think Eli got the name "Easy E" in college (or earlier) too. Not that anyone really calls him that.
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]Air Raid QB's have not fared well in the NFL.[/quote]The kid is very smart and true student of the game. Not comparable to Vick and other QBs with same style of play. Think in long run he will be a very solid nfl starter for many years. He will however take his lumps early on and we will be in line to give him his fair share
