You must be one of those people that haven't watched him play much and assume he's Michael Vick scrambling around and getting crushed. Sure he takes some hard hit's but not nearly as many as you'd think; many of those rush attempts turn into nobody touching him or barely touching him before he goes out of bounds and goes down. Also RGIII is an excellent passer who doesn't need to rely on his legs to effective like Vick, Cam Newton, and even more so Tebow. Once RGIII is a few years into the league you'll see a lot less running bc they'd rather him be passing, he's ridiculously accurate.
Will he always run more than the average QB? I'm sure he will, but that doesn't mean he's not a passer or that he's constantly taking hard hits.
Rushing attempts =/= hard hits; ask Jay Cutler

I never said that rushing attempts = hard hits. But > rushing attempts means > chance of hard hits that can cause injury. The fact that he runs so much alone puts him in a position to be injured more often than other QBs. Sure, he isn't getting hit hard right now. But, if he keeps doing this over the next 2-3 seasons, he will get hit hard eventually.

this, the only reasons the skins are running him is to get him used to the speed of the NFL game and the fact he has no legit WR threat.
Couple years from now this wont be the case at all.
