NewCliche21 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 This is what I'm asking ... is this statement true?? I'm assuming you are not a doctor, god knows I'm not. but if what you are saying is true ... then let'em rip. However, if a doctor were to say that RG3's knee would be X% much more stable and healthy if he took 2013 off ... then what? I don't understand your question. There is nothing more than 100%, so how could there be X% more? ---------- Post added January-9th-2013 at 05:25 PM ---------- Sit him.. Protect the player See, this is what bothers me. How in the world can you, or anyone else, say what he'll be at any given point if the effing doctor who did the effing surgery doesn't even know? I put this in another thread, but it's appropriate here, too.

lifeisgr8 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Even better idea... Lets trade him...suck for another year or two. Then 2015 we can draft the kid they call "Jonny Football" Of course lets hope he doesn't get hurt for two years either. Players = Play Winners = Win Let him play and let him win. At 100% he's the best we've seen in a lonnnnng time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan In NM Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 From here on out lets just put all of our good players in our trophy case instead of any more trophies. That works right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think we should dip him in Lucite and just put him on the shelf for people to look at. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMK9973 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I got a idea...lets put him on # of play limits. Then -After that number of plays - no matter what, we sit him. I don't care what anyone says, of if there is any medical reason. In fact, even if we become the #1 seed and we hit that play limit a the start of the playoffs - we sit him. That's what I would do. -Mike Rizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Check to see if he is healthy by end of preseason. If not put him on PUP. I think PUP ends in week 6 or week 8, can't remember right now. But if this team is something like 2-6 or 1-5, you let him sit the entire year and let him get ready for 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan4life83 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Actually the diagnosis was not the worst case scenario. If he is 100:% healthy there is no way you sit him. If he is 100% it would be ridiculous to sit him for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I agree...especially since that's what the Vikings did with a RUNNING BACK who by the way almost eclipsed an insurmountable record. Makes complete sense Mara is that you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 just curious why anyone would want to see what Cousins can do for a year? I'm curious to see what a healthy RG3 can do for a year because I know damn well that a healthy RG3 rolls over Seattle and we are talking about playing Atlanta next week.

Spooky Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 First, I do not think this is anything close to a "worst case scenario". Plus, I would rathing not see what cousins can do. He will get his chances. And I definitely do not want to go 6-10 if our star QB is cleared to play. Week one he plays if he is cleared by the medical staff. Nothing else is acceptable to me.

Ghost of Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 See, this post would have been fine if they had said, "rest him for the first month of the season, but get him reps with the first team as we ease him back." Unfortunately, the post says something about sitting RG3 for all of 2013. What the ___? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphs56 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would say leave his return in the hands of Shanahan and the medical staff but on second thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 RG3 is a football player. You dont sit a football player if he is 100% healthy. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sometimes the moderator staff gets fiendishly immature pleasure out of leaving certain threads open and just watching who posts in them and what they post. Sometimes it's like watching people at an AA meeting when the topic is "being powerless." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bottom line is and nothing less. Play him when he's cleared. That's being cautious and prudent. Play him when he's cleared. Why wait a day longer. NFL career short enough as it is. This kid shouldn't have a financial problem the rest of his life. His window for grestness in the NFL on the otherhand is limited. Don't play him a day before or after he is cleared. Stop with all the nervous nelly BS posters on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncr2h Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You guys act like Andrews has some secret machine that he designed that he can put on a knee and know the % that the knee has recovered. Doubtful. The likely scenario is that diagnosing the status of RG3's recovery will involve a significant amount of self reporting. What we learned this year is (a) RG3 is an insanely talented football player, and ( when faced with the choice between playing or self reporting an injury, he will choose to play. He cannot be trusted to report anything that might cause him to miss time. We therefore need to add time onto his recovery in order to be safe. The question, IMO, is how much time that should be.

Jumbo Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I would say leave his return in the hands of Shanahan and the medical staff but on second thought... That's not how it works. All professional football decisions (and in the tailgate forum, all thing in the multiverse) are determined by message board posts. In any case, there is nothing more vital than making "that" post. I just did it. See? Watch. I'm going to do it again, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2v2nv Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thats like buying a car, wrecking it, getting it fixed, and not driving it for an entire year. If the guy is told he is 100% healthy by a doctor, why in the world would you sit him. I'm just going to go ahead and nominate this thread for the trophy case of most ludicrous threads I have ever, EVER seen on ExtremeSkins. I agree. It's almost like people just don't want him to play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Rebecca, keep him comfy. Hopefully doc gave you instructions as well, got mine for hubby's shoulder surgery on the 26th. do what doctors say. You're in our prayers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashburn Dave Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's going to be a long off-season. If the doctor clears him to play and he's in football shape then he should play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If he's 100%, he's 100%. If the Doctor says he's 100% come opening day, go. If he's fully healed, he's not going to get anymore fully healed. Now, if he's not 100%, and there is a risk of re-injury outside of freak accidents, then he should sit until he's ready, but there's not really a point in sitting our most powerful weapon when he's completely healed and ready to go.

LittleTinyUnbornBaby Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just sit him the rest of his contract.....just to be sure. Just tell him to retire now, I mean there is no reason to ever play again if you can't be healthier than 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
