I agree the line is an easy target when the qb goes down but the criticism isn't always fair.

He's not the only one. Just about everyone that breaks down the film (Cosell and um, RG3's own coaches the last 2 years) can plainly see that he is responsible for most of the sacks he takes. And when teams know you can't read Defenses and hold onto the ball too long, they just ramp up the pressure even more. Good QBs punish the blitz and therefore don't get blitzed as much. See also: Jason Campbell and Todd Collins. Same O-line looked totally different blocking for both QBs.
