I think RGIII hurts his value and he would be better with McCown. Duke will have more room to run because of RGIII, but this helps Crowell more than Duke. I think Duke will not get the passes he should because RGIII is not as much of a check down guy. Dual threat QB's typically look to run when plays break down and not check down to RB's. Similar to when Manziel played last year. RGIII did give 42 targets to Helu in '13, but Duke had 72 targets last year mostly from McCown.

Hopefully Duke will be a focus of Hue's offense and that will make up for playing with RGIII.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Gio Bernard numbers from Duke(possibly not as many rushes however). I would also hope RG3 wouldn't be as careless with his running like Manziel, especially given his injury history. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
