wrecker Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is anyone still questioning the Cousins pick now I wonder...? I do since Shanahan didn't trust him enough to put him in the game over a hobbled, one legged, ineffective player. He didn't seem to think Kirk could do better than 41 yards of offense in 6 posessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. We may lose a good backup, Kirk may want a trade if he feels the coaching staff doesn't have faith in his ability to put points on the board, which he's proven he can do.

Chew Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is his surgery this morning? The Redskins will probably make some official announcement today about how it went, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put, but honestly why? Didn't he come in and kicked ass stone cold against the Ravens? Didn't he go out the following week and beat the Browns in their house while they were on a 3 game win streak? Doesn't make sense to me. could it be he didn't want to face questions about taking RGIII out when he told him "I am fine"? I don't know man what the answer is, all I know I trust Kirk C better than John Beck and Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Instead of worrying about how effective he'll be in September playing a game, why don't we first exhaleand be thankful that the young man's surgery was successful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins4ever28 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Guys, he will be back for 2013 opener, I GUARANTEE it. Now, will he be the same player is the question. I just hope he doesnt get the Palmer curse, where hes never the same because his plant leg is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicSkinFan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's kind of funny reading the comments on the ESPN article. I love all the scared fans of other teams saying stuff like "He'll never be the same" or "No one comes back from an ACL injury". They seem to forget that AP came back and only missed the NFL rushing record by 9 yards. I seem to be forgetting someone else that came back from an ACL injury and went on to take the NFL by storm... oh yeah... RG3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may lose a good backup, Kirk may want a trade if he feels the coaching staff doesn't have faith in his ability to put points on the board, which he's proven he can do. He can desire a trade all he wants. He is under contract. And he won't want a trade. He is not that kind of person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A quote from Dr Andrews concerning Knee surgeries on NFL players in general.... "The average NFL player ... only about a little over 50 percent are still playing after two years. We say we have 90 to 90-plus percent success with (knee) surgeries (in non-NFL cases). But we're talking about playing in the NFL. It's not 90 percent, believe me. Ive waited 20 years for a franchise QB, we trade away our future to finally get one and then recklessly play him hurt and risk his career. SMH. I am SOOOOOO pissed right now. Brady tore his ACL and MCL. Albeit it was at the beginning of the season. He's been fine ever since. Robert's career is not over. Brady was 31 years old. Robert is 22. I understand this is Robert's 2nd ACL surgery, but from all reports, the first one wasn't done right. Andrews is the best. The good thing is, Robert is not a running QB. I believe he'll still be able to scramble, but I think the read option days are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEED3D Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just hope we have some real professionals help him with his rehab and not the Redskin's training staff. Those guys have done enough damage as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 well i guess in cousins we trust, next man up Did you not read the article? 6-8 months. If this is true, KC won't be starting. If this is accurate and he's 100%, he will play. However, I have my doubts considering the way they disclosed the previous injury. If he can't run smoothly and explosively, then he needs to sit. ---------- Post added January-9th-2013 at 09:36 AM ---------- Hopefully the 6-8 month time frame is correct, but I could easily see him start the season on the PUP list and miss the first 6 games. They really need to protect him better and he needs to learn to slide or get out of bounds on every play, I can't imagine that knee could take another injury. I agree they need to protect him better in the sense that they shouldn't let him play hurt. However, RG3 needs to protect himself better by playing smarter. Both times he got hurt this season were on scrambles where he didn't get down soon enough (the baltimore hit is debatable but he should have headed for the sidelines IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the exception and not the rule. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking there isn't a significant risk that RG3 may not come back the same. Think Bo Jackson. Also remember, this is his second, not first, injury to that knee. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheresRickySanders83 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Not sure Bo Jackson is a great comparison. He lost a hip.

skinsforlife101 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Per ESPN News Schefter: Dr. James Andrews determined Griffin has complete tear of the patella graft that was used to repair his torn ACL in 2009, Andrews likely will usa a patella graft from Griffins other knee to repair the most recent tear. Stay tuned for more updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTC228 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just get healthy RG3, if that means missing the 2013 season or a good portion of it, so be it, we'll roll with Cousins. I still feel this team is heading in the right direction and looking forward to the offseason and getting players back like Merriweather, Rak and Carriker. My full support still with Shanny and all of our coaches and players. This is still RG3's team, and when he is fully healthy and ready to go can't wait to see him back out there!

bird_1972 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Not sure Bo Jackson is a great comparison. He lost a hip. Not really the same as an ACL. Complicated since his was a complication from the hip injury, but the parable is meant to illustrate key injury of potential game-changing talent before they have a chance to make a real impact on the league/team. In that sense, I think Jackson's case is eerily similar to our franchise QB's. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paredskinsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I actually think AP is NOT an exception. he recovered in normal time, his success was IMO more mental than physical. AP is just marveled at due to his name in a high profile sport. http://lowerextremityreview.com/article/rehab-speeds-return-after-acl-surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'll be surprised if he's ready to go for the season. No pressure RG3. Be smart about this. There may be setbacks and such but with a strong will and determination he can overcome it. Between A.Ps fast recovery both mentally & physically(best case) & Tom Bradys multiple infections post surgery requiring more surgery along with slow mental recovery (worst case), if RG3 can settle somewhere in the middle i'd be happy. Cheers to a complete recovery . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting for someone to point this out. I mean seriously people, you don't want to compare to someone with the same injury a year apart, but you do want to compare with a guy who injured a completely different body part in basically the stone age of sports medicine? Really?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't leave Fred Davis off that list. We'll have some big time players back next year to help out Cousins if he winds up being the starter.

Paulsen played well and because the salary cap hit, I can see them releasing Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
