It takes time to adapt to the complexities of both NFL offenses and defenses.
The read option made the transition for RGIII (and Colin Kaepernick) easier.

RGIII's accuracy has dropped significantly from last season, especially on those 15-25 yard routes. It's not surprising given the nature of his injury.
I agree with you though, and I was critical of Shanahan not developing his passing skills properly in favor of the 'quick fix' to save his job.
