What I don't get, is even with last year's performance slump (table from the b/r article)
RGIII's sophomore slump
rank area 2012 (rank) 2013 (rank)
Comp. % 65.6 (5th) 60.1 (25th)
TD % 5.1 (8th) 3.5 (27th)
INT % 1.3 (1st) 2.6 (18th)
YPA 8.1 (1st) 7.0 (18th)
Rating 102.1 (3rd) 82.2 (22nd)
QBR 71.41 (5th) 40.12 (28th)
Rush YPA 6.8 (1st) 5.7 (4th)
Rush YPG 54.3 (1st) 38.3 (4th)
Rush TD 7 (2nd) 0 (T-27th)

Clearly his numbers dropped, imo due to three main parts:
part of that was injury,
part was coaching dysfunction, and
part was a decline/lack of growth in his skill set.

But even so, his numbers generally were NFL caliber talent. I would imagine we saw his floor this past year, and closer to his ceiling range in 2012. I just don't get the way a guy who was treated so highly one year drops so far in fans perception, when clearly there were obvious contributing factors...
