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.

I have Duke, I just think you are going to be disappointed if you are expecting 60 receptions again. He is a great receiver, but this year there is more talent and a QB not as willing to check down. I think his receptions will be in the 40's.

I don't think RGIII will be careless with running (he will slide and toss out of bounds), but when pressure comes he is still going to break out the pocket and look to run or go downfield whereas McCown used to check down to Duke as soon as protection faltered.

Again, I hope that Hue schemes for Duke with a lot of called screens and short passes even some out of the slot as well as gets him involved more effectively running the ball.
