Will RG3 Improve This Year?

As the whole Redskins team starts to get better the big question is, can RG3 improve this year?

I believe he will. With the rest of the team improving, he will have a lot more help this year. There will be other guys contributing to the team to help them win. For example, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, cornerback Chris Culliver, wide receiver Desean Jackson, offensive tackle Brandon Scherrf, wide receiver Jamison Crowder, and a lot more. They have a lot of young talent.

I will look to see if the Redskins look to run the read option more or stay away from it. If they do run it more there is a good side and a bad side to it. The good side is if they do run it more, then the Redskins offense will be more effective. The bad side is that if they run the read option, the history of RG3 running has not gone so well. He has had a lot of injuries in the past few years because of him running.

RG3's past few years have not been very successful. Obviously his rookie year was amazing. He only threw 5 interceptions and he passed for 3,200 yards. Then everything started to go downhill for him. In the 2013 season, he had 12 interceptions in 13 games. His passer rating was lower at 82.2. In the 2014 season he only played nine games and only had 4 touchdown passes and only threw for 1,694 yards.

RG3 has had a lot of ups and downs in his three year career, this coming year being his fourth.

Here are some things that RG3 will need to have success this coming year.

The offensive line for the Redskins needs to improve. In the last 2 years, they have not helped out RG3 enough. Some of that is part of the reason why RG3 is getting hurt. Offensive tackle Trent Williams will be very important for RG3. He is the Redskins main offensive tackle. He is still bothered by his ankle that he hurt towards the end of the season last year.

Brandon Scherff is another offensive tackle that will have to come up big this year. Scherff is a rookie from Iowa and was the 5th pick in the draft overall. He is a good addition to the Redskins offensive line that is much needed this year.

The Redskins could have had an even better offensive line but they gave offensive guard Chris Chester away to the Atlanta Falcons.

Now I'll talk about how RG3 himself can make an improvement this year and bounce back.

RG3 needs to take care of himself more. In the past few years, he has sacrificed his body too many times to make plays but the results have been that he has been getting injured.

RG3 needs to get back to his usual self that he was in his rookie year. He needs to come back to that accurate quarterback that he used to be. In his rookie year, he completed 258 passes out of 393. Another thing is that he needs to stop throwing the ball away. That has resulted in interception sometimes. He needs to know when it is the right time to throw it away or to just take the sacks. He also can't run with it when it is not necessary.

If the young and still developing quarterback can make those changes this year, then defensive coordinators had better watch out for the return of RG3.
