The hardest things for rookies are pre snap IMO and when they actually have to make reads. I'd venture to say from watching this year, Cam, RGIII, and Wilson didn't go to their 2 read too many times.

I disagree with the last part. There are several plays in which I saw both Robert and Russell go to their 2nd and 3rd read. For example, if you watch the Skins/Cowboys game, there's a play where Robert goes to his third read from a doubles left, where the WR screen was the 1, the 9 on the same side was the second, and the TE running a dig was the 3rd. That's just from memory but IIRC, the game is on youtube. I'll have to find it.
Additionally, there are several simple concepts that are 2 reads that look like 1 read plays (Smash, Levels, Shallow Cross, curl/flats).
