Well the thing is they're right about that at least in the long run. The running aspects of RG3's game is simply being used to give him a chance to create something when he can't find a receiver. Make no mistake about it he's light years ahead of any rookie QB I've seen at reading coverage but at the end of the day he's still a rookie with a very basic understanding of reading and reacting to NFL defenses. With his running he's able to gain yards when most other rookie QB's would throw incomplete passes, ints, or get sacked.
Even RG3 has constantly said he is and wants to develop as a pocket passer and actually invoked a point I had been saying for years when arguing against guys like Vick. The ball travels a lot faster through the air then it does on the ground. Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees none of these guys run yet they allow their teams to dominate offensively. I don't mind the running now but eventually the running has to stop. Luckily RG3 seems to want to move in that direction as well and unlike Vick he's capable of doing it.
Sorry I know this is about TG athletes but the thought makes me more lightheaded then sex ed in 8th grade. "ALL RIGHT KIDS NOW THIS IS SYPHILIS!"
