Most guys reads are one single sides, opposite side being the likely last read. You only have so much time back there.
I didn't watch a whole lot of RGIII as I wasn't really into football this year, for obvious reasons. That said, Wilson of early to mid season was alot different thatn the Wilson we saw late.

I didn't get to watch much of either until late. The RG3 one is just a play that kinda stuck with me.
I do agree that from what little I've seen that A) Wilson had a dumbed down O to begin the season and improved exceptionally and B) the read concepts applied later helped him gain confidence/speed in going through progressions. People think the RO is super easy, but when you have a PA RO called, the QB has to identify front, coverage, then read the DE/OLB, then drop and make his reads throwing. Now, those throws are helped by the RO sucking LBs/Safeties in and also open up double moves for your WRs, however, the QB has to make a minimum of 2 reads and typically more (1 for the DE, 1 minimum for the pass play called)
In short, you aren't successfully operating the RO consistently in the NFL unless you are a QB who can process information and understand defenses.
