RGIII is not a victim of cosmic circumstance, he's a player that's having trouble doing the basic things required to be successful.
you should also stop referring to questions as rhetorical when they aren't. that's the 2nd time you've done that in 3 posts. for the record his sack rate is higher than the other QBs this year and last year, he got hit more, he's gotten hurt more. those are all facts, so i'm actually not wrong. 15.4% >> 13.2%, but i was really referring to kirk (3.9%), and i'm sure you know that, but it doesn't fit your narrative as well.

Exactly, Joe Theismann is really good at pointing out the little things a QB can do to avoid sacks, buy time and minimize the physical trauma of contact when it isn't avoidable. You would think he was directly speaking to RG3.
As for doing those little things RG3 gets an F. RG3 could have the Hogs blocking for him and he would find ways to repeatedly get himself killed. The way he contorts his body when scrambling or running leaves him overly vulnerable to injury. One has to believe these things have been pointed out
to him repeatedly yet we see no changes. In this case it appears you can't
teach an old dog new tricks, even if the dog is human and only 25.
