RGIII as an option quarterback – huge success, but he got injured. Conventional wisdom also said that an option quarterback could not have long-term success in the NFL, the evidence of RGIII’s rookie season to the contrary. The solution? Try to make him into something that he has never been – a pocket passer – even though many prototypical pocket passers (such as Ryan Leaf) were big busts. After 2 disastrous seasons, there’s little evidence to suggest that RGIII can succeed as a pocket passer and is no less accident-prone. Why then, not make another go at RGIII as an option quarterback? Worst-case scenario – either the Redskins continue to stink, or RGIII has a career-ending injury. Best-case scenario – he recaptures his rookie magic and they can tweak his game to reduce the risk of injury. Either way, the worst-case scenario is little worse than the do-nothing option – a horrific, lost team and a once-promising career cut short due to ineptitude.
