Apparently some people still don't understand what makes RG3 tick.

RG3's game is kinda interesting in a few ways. One thing that got me, and maybe some of the "talking heads" haven't realized it:
In the New Orleans season opener, I was amazed how well Griffin was throwing the slant pass, threading the needle, especially on play-action. As the season went on, Griffin kept zipping the ball in there just out of reach of defenders hands (our R's did a great job reaching up and behind to grab some of those fastballs too, lol) And LBs and safeties were jumping on those routes more and more.
By then I figured it was luck that we weren't getting picked off, and worried we were gonna get our receivers killed and give INTs because defenses had figured it out. Yet Griffin kept throwing and beating defenders, and I finally realized "Wow, it's not luck. RGIII really is that good."
Maybe the "TV talking heads" see those risky passes, the way he fakes people out with the handoffs, and thinks like I had that defenses will figure it out. And maybe the TV folk haven't realized like I have (and probably everybody here figured out before I did, lol) that yeah RGIII isn't perfect, but how he did it last season, was because he really is that good.
