I disagree.
It has nothing to do with size. Bad coaching is the culprit.

Aaron Rodgers is a classic pocket passer with escapability. He throws first and only runs as a last resort. Steve Young was the same. I saw him play in person. Best arm I ever saw in college, but he was also the fastest player on the field. He could have been a running QB, but playing at Brigham Young taught him how to throw and read defenses. RGIII is a runner first. He felt his speed would hold up in the NFL.
Famous last words.
Making good decisions.....unloading the ball when nobody's open.....being durable. RGIII is shellshocked right now. Going to a team that doesn't need him to start might help, but I think his injuries have taken his confidence.

Everyone knows running QBs do not survive for long in the NFL. Mike Shanahan knows this. The entire Redskin coaching staff knew it, but they let it go because he was winning. It was only a matter of time that he would get hurt....and then to play after he was hurt, only compounded the problem.
Young and Rogers run, but they do it smart and they get down before contact. They were coached to do this. Sadly no one coached RGIII or he thought he was invincible...and now his career may be over.
He could have been one of the most exciting players in the NFL.

I think they wanted him to be a pocket passer. They tried to convert Vince Young into a pocket passer an VY refused to study. RGIII may not have listened to his coach.
Mike Shanahan knows how to coach. I don't think it's his fault.

RG-3, a great rookie year, but that's all folks. Steelers should sign him as a back-up instead of Vick, as Vick is already 35 yrs. old. See, there is a place for one year wonders in the NFL, afterall........

I don't know how you can say that about Shanahan especially after he let RGIII play AFTER the injury.I disagree.

Absolutely! The glory days (part of them) for the Redskins.... Gibbs gave us winners for a while (not so much the 2nd time around... ) I'm not sure what it's going to take to right the ship..... I've had a few people tell me if we change our name things will turn around... but don't think Dan Snyder will ever do it....
OMG!!
You live in Washington?
Only people that like it there are hookers, Congressmembers, and Crackwhores.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.... just when you think it can't get any worse... watch out!
None of them, but to be a Congresscritter is about as low as you can get.
Which do you think I am???
(I don't actually live IN DC, just in the DC area... sorry to have misled you)
