I thought RG3 said he is a pocket passer, that is his strength. Not a run a scrambling QB running the option. Let him learn the offense first. Once he gets injuried running the ball, I dont want to hear the complaining. U know why the option isnt run in the NFL?
RGIII is a pocket passer primarily. I'm not a big fan of running the option in the NFL - because defenses are much too quick for an option offense to be very successful. Maybe in a very limited, occasional option play. I'm assuming when Shanahan talks about tweaking the offense to fit it with what Griffin does the best, then he's talking about putting in more shotgun, spread type of plays rather than option runs.

I agree -He is a quarterback with "olympic speed". If you watch him run he runs more like a track guy IMO than a RB -- more straight up speed and less "shake n bake". He is going to need to master the "slide" and getting out of bounds when he runs to avoid unnecessary hits.

Kinda didn't plan on listening to 30 minute interview on a rookie mini-camp just to hear a couple of sentences.
Could someone just tell me what he said or tell me where he spoke about running the option?
Quit being a lazy fan ;)

Here is one instance, u lazy fan lol
Coach Shanahan at 23:55 - "...the fun part about Robert, the reason why we gave up what we gave up, is that he can do some things I believe no one has done. The dropping back, play action, quarterback keeps, option, and we'll see what he is comfortable with as time goes on..."

you know what would scare defenses more from the Skins? Basic, competent decision making from the QB position.

Mentions it around the 9 minute mark. Talks about he can run the option and how he believes only Cam and Tebow can run it well in the NFL
He does stress though that RGIII is a passer first, but with other skills
