I think you look to players like Pauleson, Morris, Darrell Young, Rob Jackson, Riley, Coefield, Hankerson(shakey when I type that) and Garcon as proof. I also think the concept of chemistry and leadership, yes intangibles you probably hate, is playing a larger role. Chester and Monty are fully comfortable now in ZBS as an example and obviously RG3 is providing the leadership. Gotta give Shanny and Bruce credit.
What stat is telling of successful Shanny teams in the past? The same answer to which NFL team leads the league in rushing? Washington Redskins. The burden is not on RG3, but running the ball effectively.

I think I just meant throwing more times. The offense already runs pretty exclusively through RG3.
Maybe the most interesting thing about Cousins is how Kyle went back to the Grossman pass-run balance. For whatever reason, the Redskins want to protect Griffin on third downs so that the defense cannot tee off on him, meaning they play fast pass on third and long. But with Cousins, they went back to what worked with Grossman and threw vertical.
