You're right, with better vision/passing RG can run less and less, and he's got to protect himself better on the run.
But he also took nasty shots in the pocket because blocking by our RT and TEs (especially with Paul in the game) was almost nonexistent on some plays. It's literally going to take a better all-around team effort to keep him healthy all season and beyond IMO.

Keim did a nice breakdown here of all the hits he took. QB draws were non-existent in the last 8 games, and Griffin did a better job at protecting himself after the Atlanta game. He also improved in the redzone as a passer and scrambled less as the season went on. He seems to be trending in the right direction.
Robert Griffin III took 152 hits in 2012. Here’s how that number can be reduced. - Washington Post
