Garcon is an excellent blocker and really helps a lot in our run schemes.
But you don't think Garcon shoulders any blame whatsoever for RG3's struggles? I don't agree with that.
Garcon is clearly one of the two best receivers on this team and needs to be on the field 80% or more of offensive snaps. But I also think that to some degree, the percentage of offense that relies on Garcon is something that needs to be addressed in the offseason.
I think the reality of the situation is that there are a numbers of factors holding back the passing offense: pass protection, Griffin's development, and inconsistent receiver play.
