Its actually not fine and dandy and the article is wrong for saying that. For example..
If read 1 is your primary after the play action. Although read 1 cuts the route short before play action was initiated.
What this does is allows the DB react to the route I which the throw would of been "late".
This is why when QBS throw INT or give up sacks etc. It's important to know that it's more of a team effort.
Not defending RG3 because he's obviously flawed but the article is incorrect if it's saying it's ok that the route was short.
Edit: Just noticed the article say it's ok because he still completed the pass. Not that the route was short
