This.

I'm not sure he sticks around as a back-up. Back-ups need to come in and make an offense work based on a game plan built around another guy. I suggest that most NFL back-ups have to be able to competently run a standard drop-back passing offense and are mostly plug-and-play guys. They can stand in the pocket, run the play called, and get the ball out. Generally, they aren't starters because they lack one of the essentials for starting QB's - either their arm isn't strong enough, they aren't accurate enough, or they are completely immobile. When your back-up is playing, you are not adding wrinkles; you are going more basic.

RGIII just doesn't have the make-up of an NFL back-up. He is not and will never be a drop back passer. For whatever reason, he cannot get the ball out on time or with anticipation. He has plenty of arm, starter quality accuracy, and is still plenty mobile. However, you can't just plug him into a standard NFL offense and expect it to be run efficiently.

He may stick around for a couple years just b/c of his physical talent, but I just don't see him pulling a Jason Campbell and becoming a journeyman QB - bouncing around the league, possibly starting for a couple teams but generally being a solid back-up. He just doesn't have the right skill set.
