The Wilson Blueprint

[WillH]

So my take on all this is, yeah RG3 "could" do what he does best, use his legs, etc. except for the fact that he has no clue how to do it without putting himself at risk. I don't care what some people say, he injured himself on an awesome athletic play in which he used awkward body mechanics that combined with shit luck, ended in him landing wrong. There are so many plays where he sacrifices his body to try to make a big play, not just by taking unnecessary hits but also by diving/falling/running/throwing in awkward ways. These plays are often fun to watch because it's absolutely brilliant athleticism, but they put him at risk.

Watching Wilson, he uses his athleticism, but not to the point where he sacrifices his body or put himself at risk for injury. So, can Robert learn to do the same? That's the real question. I worry that he gets so caught up in his game that he forgets about protecting himself, and that may be part of what makes him electrifying ~ when he looses himself in the game.

Ultimately, I'm still in the camp of being a pocket passer is a necessary skill in this league for a QB to have lasting success. He needs a line, though. This team really needed a line before selling the farm for our Franchise QB IMO, it may be too late, but I hope RG3 comes back and makes me look like a chump for doubting him.
