If that happens, and he only "sprains" something, lets hope that Washington is smarter in that case to take him out for a few weeks to heal, rather than rush him back and risk injury.


I think the biggest concern is that if he comes back 100% and if he never gets hurt again in his career, how effective will their offense be with a non-running RG3? That is the big question. His running ability and the designed runs were a huge reason that the running game and passing games flourished. If you remove the read option, how effective is Morris now? And, how effective is the play action pass if the defense knows that RG3 is not going to take off and run?

RG3 tore his ACL in college, and still was very mobile.

He might lose a step, but I think his mobility won't ALL be gone with this injury.

To your point, I think they will still keep read option plays in the playbook, but not use them as extensively as they did this season.

Remember, RG3 is a rookie. Hes gonna get better at reading defenses. I honestly don't think they will completely change their offense because of this.
