Now, I don't know that RG3 can learn to change his style of play, but I don't think that has anything to do with his intelligence. In any field I'm sure their are people that are excellent at one thing, but can never learn other aspects of the job, or different approaches. People get used to what works for them, and sometimes it's really hard to break those tendencies. In RG3's case, it's hard to adjust your game when you can't stay healthy enough to even be on the field, and personally i think that is more to the crux of this matter.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. Obviously RG3 is a very smart guy. It's more instincts IMO. What came natural for Griffin is what we ran in 2012. I don't think I've seen Griffin get under center and take a 5-7 step drop (w/out any play action) since he's been here.
