Dondrae474 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So is the decision whether to have complete rehabilitative surgery or try do do something less that wouldn't require him to miss so much time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUSkins24 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'd be doing what Danny is too if my franchise QB may have just gone down for good, and could possibly never play to the potential he could have. Whoa whoa, let's not start talking like that, you're gonna freak people out. Can we at least get a diagnosis first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flexxskins Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's not good.This whole thing just got a little more real for me with this quote.Yes. https://twitter.com/rgiii I love me some RG3, but OMG the man is one cliche after another.

Bacon Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 And btw people, Danny has nothing to do with it. The point is, if you're flying to see Dr Andrews, you're probably really hurt, aka surgery. Probably exploratory for now. According to an ES poster who just texted RG2 about the issue, he's getting the knee scoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINS'n'Spurs Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think this is just a show of support. People are making too many assumptions about his injury status. We just have to be patient and perhaps send some positive messages RGIII's way; I know he appreciates it (has already tweeted as such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyandSam Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Probably exploratory for now.According to an ES poster who just texted RG2 about the issue, he's getting the knee scoped. Yep. My son, who is an athletic trainer and does medical research on world class athletes, told me this afternoon that he bets Andrews will scope the knee joint to see first hand what the damage is. Better to stick a small camera in his knee to see the actual damage than an MRI picture, especially if the swelling or previous surgery makes it difficult to read...which my son says is quite common.

skinsnut1823 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This whole thing has got me sick to my stomach...seriously...i do not want the last successful memory of rg3 to be of him lighting up the Seajocks at a dizzying pace and than our dreams dashed again! We can't catch a break I swear. A buddy of mine and fellow new yorker and skins fan said it's like the football gods said f em they aight ready yet. All my prayers are with you sir for the best possible outcome! hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not good at all. And, to a lesser point, I thought the player-to-owner stuff was done since Shanahan is now in charge. I'm fine with Dan having a relationship with the players. The caveat is simply that it can not supercede the head coach's relationship with said players if we're going to be a successful organization. It's actually a good thing for players to have some measure of respect and appreciation for team owners, honestly. Breeds loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Im fine with Dan accompanying RGIII.. They've developed a friendship beyond boss/employer and he cares about the kid, obviously.. On the down side, him going does shed a light on the (potential) severity of the situation.. At this point, I'll be thrilled if it's "just" the ACL/LCL.. At least there's a great chance he'll come back 100% from that, eventually.. If they start mentioning the PCL, I may honestly become sick to the point of vomiting.. Where did you see that? In the "How's RGIII" thread.. (late pages) Someone said an "ES Insider" conversed via text w/ Robert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I would not at all be surprised if Dan is flying down to support RGIII............. but also to question Andrews about just exactly was the situation on the sidelines during the Baltimore game, in which Shanahan claims the Doctor OK'd RGIII to go back in, but Andrews is saying he didn't, and also the situation in the Seahawks game as far as if Andrews was okaying RGIII to continue to play.

maxiep Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Pretty sure it's just a show of support by Dan. It's not like he is meddling negatively. This. And I write in agreement even though I freaking hate The Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's not good. Based on facts that you've obtained or speculation?

A Skinhead in Saints Land Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Lets say the report is right and its a partial torn acl/lcl. What's the estimated recovery time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to have a clean MRI. But if the rumor that he only partially tore his ACL and LCL is true, that would be GOOD news to me. Even if he misses September, I'd be excited and optimistic.

Bacon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Partially torn is great news because it opens up the possibility that he may not need surgery. If that is the case, we'll see him a lot earlier than September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trung Canidate Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 So many pessimists in here, it's sickening. RGIII will be fine, and it doesn't matter how long it takes for him to come back the fact is he WILL be back and if you're a fan of this team that's all that matters.

Drunken Master III Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I believe RG3 will be good to go by the beginning of next season, but a tear is a tear. It doesn't matter whether the acl is partially torn or completely torn..... acl reconstruction is needed. The ACL does not heal on its own and will eventually tear completely. I've done a good deal of research because I tore my ACL in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
