4,000yds is a reasonable expectation,less riskier, and will lead to more wins.IMO

But thats just it. It didnt require any of that. Against Atlanta, he made a stupid decision to try and cut back... into 3 Atlanta players. Against the Ravens, same thing. He would have made the exact same amount of yards had he gone out of bounds on both of those plays, and wouldnt have been injured on either. RG3 has to run smarter when he takes off. He is going to scramble, so even if there are no designed QB runs, he is still going to run.
Also as the NFL transitions to pass offenses, the defenses are making that same transition. Smaller DE's to have a quicker pash rush. Smaller faster LB's for coverage (Although the players are getting bigger overall, but thats true for run stoppers as well). Being a good running team isnt really a bad idea.
