He just got hurt because he took too many hits while running (120 rushes)/refusing to go out of bounds/refusing to slide... plus holding onto the ball to try to make a play. Then Shannahan refused to force RG3 to sit out the playoffs with an injured knee and let him play hurt, making his knee injury worse than it was.

That year, Alfred Morris ran for 1,600 yards at 4.8ypc behind that line.

That said, with all that initial talk of the future of Luck v RG3 with them going 1 and 2... who the hell would guess that it looks like Ryan Tannehill would come out the victor? Lol

I remember when the Bengals went up against RGIII.  Shanahan was running the damn triple option, which answers the question whether or not a HC will get his QB killed for the sake of keeping his job. 

One of our LB's--I don't remember which one--put a bone crushing hit on him that made the whole world say he would never last like that, which is exactly how it went.
