Personally I felt him sitting in the pocket getting hit was more dangerous because he's a statue back there looking down field. If he runs I feel he has the opportunity to lesson the hit by only allowing the defender to get part of him or because he gets hit the same direction as he's running which although looks bad prbably is not as bad as it looks cause it's either not a clean solid hit or there is less impact.

ie; a car colliding with another car head on is extremely bad. A car getting T-boned is bad. A car sitting not moving getting hit by another car/truck is bad. But a car already moving forward getting hit from behind causes less damage because the energy is transfered to the car struck.

bad example I guess. but I worry about RG3's head bouncing off the turf more so then him getting hit. Standing in the pocket looking down field worries me just as much because of the force of the impact. I think if RG3 is moving the energy of the impact from player to player is less, unless he runs head on into a defender.
