S.T.real,lights,out Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Adrian Peterson was back on opening day after a tear, why can't RG3 be back Pretty sure AP was ACL and MCL....not PCL. But not 100% sure on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't think I can stomach watching the playoffs, or anything else NFL related, for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins4eva Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's a good question, find myself asking the same thing. His coach trusted him, put his faith in the player and it went bad. I fault Griffin for not realizing the consequences as much (or more) than Coach.. Again--it's the job of the 50-something head coach with broader perspective to use his own judgment and his own eyes and make his own decision. Relying on RGIII who is as tough a competitor as they come at the age of 22 in his first playoff game in his first season is not the way to go.

JMUSkins Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This makes me think that nobody has any idea what is actually torn. Let's calm down until official news comes out. I would agree with taking this stance... we don't even know what degree to which it is torn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just wondering, but if it is worst case and Griff is out for awhile does he get his speed back? Or is this a career changing type of injury? I think this will have a tremendous negative impact on his future. I was saying take him out of the damn game after halftime and now this.

brandymac27 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 this is just un****ing believable. No risk of reinjury my ****ing ass. I'm livid That's what's so confusing to me at this point. I was under the impression from what the doctors and Mike said that their was no risk for further injury, and his knee was 100%. He clearly didn't look to be 100% right after this was said (I think the Philly game), and hasn't looked close to 100% at any point after the original injury. Now he re- injures his knee and it's possibly worse than the original injury? Something is NOT adding up. Did someone misdiagnose him originally, or were we all given false information in the first place? This doesn't make sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivelikenice Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thank you. So much pessimism in this thread. (Almost) everything is fixable. Robert will work hard to get healthy, and I believe he will. Agree....I wouldn't plan on him being back, but its not out of the realm of possibilities. Suggs, Ray Lewis, Welker, Peterson....all made it back very quickly. Get Kirk ready and if RG3 is ready by TC, than so be it....if he has to sit for a few weeks, thats fine as well. I'd be stunned if he missed all of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Shanny will have a presser at 3pm steaming live on Redskins.com. We'll know for sure then I would hope. I think Shanny might blow his lid when the questions start coming in about what he was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFK Lives Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree with the sentiment to wait until everything is confirmed but for everybody mentioning Adrian Peterson, remember these are two very diffrent players playing a DIFFERENT position. I would think somebody as young and dedicated as RGIII could come back and rebound quickly but this is a quarterback. If he cannot plant and throw during OTA's, mini-camp and training camp, he cannot build timing with the receivers among other things. I HOPE that the rumor is incorrect because I don't think I can take all the "I told you so's" we will hear from the press or the sickening jubilation of some jerk fans of other teams.

Enter Apotheosis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 He's 22. Thinks he's invincible. It's the job of the head coach and the doctors to look past his competitive spirit and do what's best for him and the team. Keeping him in the game was the wrong decision for him, the team and the entire organization. Except he's been through this before. You'd think he would have learned a little something from his previous rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 People do need to realize that athletes today (especially of RG's caliber) return faster and stronger than ever before.... Even when the diagnosis is very bad. Peterson tore his knee to shreds on Christmas Eve, was fully ready week one the next year, and had arguably the best season for a RB in NFL history. Wes Welker has tore multiple ligaments in week 17 and was a full go week one the next year.... I agree Shanny should have taken him out, not defending that at all. But the overreactions about his career (or even next year) being ended are a little over the top right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be no guarantee that a more significant injury won't take place once you step onto the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm starting to think Dr. James Andrews likes being on the sidelines a little too much. That USA Today article was conscience talking. Because he did clear RG3 at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's true--but you didn't need hindsight to know it was the wrong decision. If nothing else, you could see, and Shanny could see that the offense was completely ineffective after he tweaked his knee. That alone should have been enough to pull him. I saw Dr Andrews on the broadcast more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave25 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm just going to expect the worst and hope for the best. I'm confident RG3 will be healthy by the start of the 2013 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
