This is a big reason why I want the Cowboys to draft a QB next April and allow him to sit out his rookie year instead of waiting until we must have a QB and starting him right away.
There is so much to learn in the NFL, from the playbook, defenses, the physical training, etc. that mechanics get neglected when you start right away and are not ready to play. In RG3's case, he performed pretty good his rookie season, but it was based on a gimmicky offense that NFL defenses were soon going to find out how to contain. And when he had to beat teams with his Quarterback *skill* instead of his raw athleticism, he couldn't. That may have not been the case had he sat on the bench for his rookie season where he could learn the NFL game and work on his mechanics. Now they have him in the WCO which requires even better mechanics, especially with footwork.
If you can't learn how not to do things from Washington, then you deserve to fail.
