Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...

Bad news. Two ACLs, and a LCL early in his career.

When he comes back we just need to scrap the option offense. There are reasons it is not used in the pro's. RG3 is just a good, accurate QB that can win games with traditional offenses. Why throw your elite QB to the wolves? Peyton, Brady, Rodgers don't usually miss games -- and our QB was concussed and tore ligaments. More of this and he's moving towards Vick's career path and out of the league in a couple of years..

We NEED to upgrade O-line for pass blocking, and eventually will need another elite WR to help create a passing game without option schemes.

The option offense isn't why RGIII is in the situation he's in. His inability to slide or run out of bounds is. There is nothing wrong with him running or scrambling, but he has to be smarter. That extra yard isn't worth it when looking at the big picture. If it's super bowl and he's at the goal line, I'll change my stance. Until that happens, the kid needs to wise up or he's not going to last long in this league.


Also, if you hadn't notice, the option offense has been ran less and less over the 2nd half of the season.

Well the read option is a big part of this offense and is a main reason why we rush the ball so well. He just needs to slide and get down. Against Seattle he got hurt running to the sideline on a pass play and the re re injured it on a bad snap. And remember the knee was originally hurt cause he didn't slide feet first. Had he done that he would not have been hurt in the first place.
