The other thing that drove me nuts is when a pass play fell apart, his first instinct was to take off running with it instead of throwing the ball away.

I see what you are saying, but the overall problem is that this team has set itself up to be in a situation where they depend on the QB to overcome all of their shortcomings (such as shitty line). And well we don't have a QB that can do that on the roster, so I think the next best thing is to focus on the line.
You can criticize RG3 and the offensive line at the same time; they don't mutually exclude each other. The team struggled with all three QBs under center. And whether your have RG3 or Cousins or some other young QB under center, the offense is not going to work with the offensive line we have period.
RG3 has a lot of issues, so does Cousins; fixing their issues is part of the solution. But it won't matter who will be under center unless the line is fixed. You can win with a strong line, very good running play, a good defense, and without depending on your passing play. If we have the same type of line we've had in the past three years, the offense is not going to improve at all.
