It looks like RG3 has lost his confidence.
Basically, it seems that RG3 "thinks too much" when he takes the snap and drops back.
My opinion, as to why he gets sacked so much is...
1. He focuses too much on the primary target, and the secondary targets,down field.
He doesn't seem to be aware of what is going on around him. Which is one of the reasons that he doesn't seem to move to the left or right to avoid the rush.
2. As the linked article points out, he doesn't seem to have enough faith in the offensive plays to stick with the play as-called, and is too ready to 'check-down'. Also RG3 seems to have lost faith in his ability to 'thread-the-needle'
So, IMHO, it seems that the problems that RG3 has are mostly confidence related.
Unfortunately, I have seen that kind of thing before, with players like David Woodley, Derrick Carr, ect.
