Luck's stats were a tad inferior

I'm sure you can argue quality of opponents, quality of team mates, etc. I thought Luck deserved it, but it also wasn't a clear cut case, IMO. They were both great college players, had great seasons, lead their teams, seemed like good citizens in their communities, etc. Just because Luck has had the better NFL career so far, does not negate the value of RGIII's contribution in college to his team.
But Toby was robbed.
Of the guys who eat out our guys RGIII is the only one I wanted to see succeed in the NFL. Seems like a fine, bright young man. Could have been a Stanford Man, though if he were he wouldn't have had those stats. So badly used/treated in the NFL, IMHO.Â
Who was the last Voldemort winning QB to become an NFL star? I see a lot of Top 5s, and a lot of "never considered so" but can't think of a winner who became a bonfires top 2 or 3 QB over several years in the NFL. There must be some?
