The Pro Football Focus Team weighed in on RG3's performance in camp thus far.

It's looking good for Griffin. PFF says he still has the same weaknesses he had here: he runs and panics if the first read is covered and doesn't make it through his progressions.

Luckily, the offensive system in the Cleve accounts for this and the routes are designed to become open later in the play while Griffin is on the run.

Seems to be looking up.

McVay and Gruden really should have accounted for that in the Detroit preseason game last year.

I agree with Punch but if Hue Jack has designed a system that will minimize RG3's weaknesses I won't be angry if RG3 bounces back this year. As long as we shut him down I'm happy. I'm honestly more upset about AlfMo leaving us than I am about RG3. Both had excellent rookie seasons and then slow downward spirals after that. Difference is we paid more for one.

If any team can game plan for him, it's us. Good for him if he succeeds, I'm still a fan. But at the same time I doubt he will stay healthy.

This is what I am really afraid of. We know how good RG3 was when he was in an offense tailor made around him before that terrible knee injury. He could come out here and look like an all pro, absolutely shredding our defense with his arm and his legs.... And i would hate to be on here if that happens, because alot of people might come out of the woodwork and say "Oh we should have kept him, he didn't get a fair chance" blah blah blah

I think the real miracle would be RG3 looking like 2012-ROTY RG3 after all those injuries. He hasn't looked the same in three seasons. Even when he ran his speed was noticeably slower. If he does that's great for him, but I don't care . I'm putting 2/1 odds that our qb of the future is already on the roster, so if this season passes and Kirk gets that long term deal I will care about RG3 even less than I do now.

Just to add defenses caught up with the read option a long time ago. And they now know that if you pressure him and get him off his first read he's going to struggle. I think we'll see more of that this year until he's hurt or benched.
