Top 5 NFL Rushing Attempts by a QB

Doesn't Griffin have a 103 qb rating, 67% completion rate, and 4 td's to 1 int?

I only ask, cuz that seems pretty efficient to me?Yeah, that's pretty good and his YPA is high.

It's all about the sacks and fumbles though. And yes, his blocking is awful. But if he throws the ball away on the Dunlap sack at the end of the game, we're talking about a totally different finish.

The Redskins O has overall been very good, but one complaint I have is that they're in third and forever way too much for a team that's number one across the board in rushing.

RGIII needs just 30 or so yards for most rushing yards by a QB in a single season in Redskins history...I think

It only took him 3 games to beat the franchise single-game rushing record by a QB...he had 85 yards in Week 3.

Yeah, that's pretty good and his YPA is high.

This is the best sign outside of adusted accuracy percentages. YPA has been great, need to get Pierre back on the field see where that goes.

Seems like a combo of penalties and sacks account for a lot of that.

I think over the course of the year we will see Griffin's run numbers subside, especially the called runs. Not only from the injury standpoint but from the evolution of the offense to being a little more traditional. Right now, we barely run the stretch run and the stretch boot off of that play. We aren't running much of what we usually run but that will come. As fans we tend to forget that RG3 has played 3 professional games so his knowledge and comfort in the traditional passing game is still in its infancy. We are running him out of necessity as much as opportunity now because he's still learning in other areas.

One reason I don't get too caught up in the numbers is if you look at the sack numbers 4 of them were basically self inflicted. 3 times he and Morris have got their feet tangled and I thought I recall RG running out of bounds once rather than throwing it away. Take those away and the sack numbers look much more like the league average.
