Good point. I'm just thinking RGIII isn't going to last at this rate. 1 bad concussion and two knee injuries requiring surgery in his first full offseason.... Maybe he can avoid concussions in the future. But the knee injury can happen at any time, including running with no contact. I don't think his knee is now any more resistant to get re-injured. (Not to mention material was taken from his other knee to help repair it.)

I know his worst hits have been on the scrambles and in the pocket, not the planned runs. And his speed helps protect himself. But protecting the knee would be worth RGIII being a little slower, going down before contact a little sooner. And even as just a pocket passer, RGIII is special. I'd rather have the great passer and decent runner for several years, than super-fast RGIII for a couple.
