it also shows him missing an open Jordan Reed in the seam waving his hands in the air. it also shows he doesnt know down, distance and clock. in no way was he supposed to try to run it in, in that situation. im sure he was told to kill the ball if his 1st quick read wasnt open so we could go for a FG.

theres a very good chance the play was designed to go to Reed quick for a TD or throw it in stands. if i was a coach, id be pissed. intentional petulance.

but who knows what RG3's pre-read was, who knows who his first look was supposed to be .... what i do know is that he was not supposed to run it and suck up all the regulation time on a make or break QB audible.

but yes, we have a very fragile but athletic QB.

sorry schneed ... i feel bad.

Don't feel bad it's a great take and one I totally agree with. I still take a positive from the play in that it looked like finally he had that 3rd gear back for the first time since his knee injury.

But yeah, he can be as athletic as all get out, but ultimately he needs to distribute the ball on time or his athleticism will only take him so far.

I am hopeful there is enough athleticism coming this year to cover for whatever decision making deficiencies still remain. If he flashes enough then we'll have our patience tanks filled up a bit. If he doesn't, then the judgment of his decision making will be rightfully harsh.
