Stats are overrated. Putting up big numbers in pass happy offenses don't make you elite. Matt Stafford or Tony Romo anyone?

Given the system, wouldnt his stats in the ground game also be included? He did put up 800 yards and 7 TD's running to go with the 3200 passing yards and 20 passing TD's. Putting both rushing and passing together, he had 4000+ yards and 27 TD's as a rookie, which is already above your ceiling. I realize passing is the main metric to rate QB's, but RG3 isnt a regular QB in that aspect.
