Some of the sacks he took against the Texans were awful and frustrating.
Perfect example: In the texans game on the play RGIII got called for intentional grounding. The Texans tipped their hand that they were blitzing as pone saftey and two LB's were on the line of scrimmage before the snap (never understood why defenses tipping a blitz).
Yet RGIII held onto the ball and tried running away from the bltiz instead of just getting rid of the ball quickly. This play typified the frustration I had with the 2013-2014 RGIII. He just thinks he is so fast he can out run the blitz.
KCousins in the Jags game was not tipped off the blitz was coming but had a LB or safety in his face right after the snap and he threw it to the feet of one his receivers.
That is the type smart of play I want to see a healthy RGIII make. That would show me he has learned something rather than depend on his athletic ability.

These are areas where we all know RG3 struggles. But it's not like he can't learn all this stuff as time goes on, just like KC I think will cut down on his turnovers. The question is if KC comes in and plays well, will the organization want to wait for RG3?
