The Official "I don't want RG3's career to be shortened so I'm willing to donate some of my own knee cartilage if it is deemed neccesary"

[HeluCopter29]

So as we are all certainly aware by now, RG3's knee may be a bigger concern then we thought. One of the biggest issues is that he may not have much cartilage left in his knees. This could cause a bone on bone situation which would drastically shorten his career.

We have paid to much for RG3 and waited to damn long for a guy like him to let this happen.

So I am officially offering as much cartilage from my own knees as I can (so long as I'll still be able to walk at the end of it and not suffer from a bone on bone thing either) so that we can extend RG3's career and minimize this issue as much as possible. I'll be the first to put my name down.

I don't think it quite works that way but the thought is nice.

[TSO]

I don't think I'd be willing to give up one of my fingers for a Redskins Super Bowl. What kind of ridiculous question is that?

Oh, wait, wrong thread.

[MassSkinsFan]

LOL - nice sentiment, but rejection could be an issue.

There is a product (really a process) on the market that would take some of his cartilage and grow more, thereby allowing it to be implanted in the defect. It only works if there is enough of his remaining cartilage to support the graft though.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Griffin doesn't want your mere mortal parts

[Boss_Hogg]

I don't think he'd want mine.

[A Skinhead in Saints Land]

We should start a "The RG3 knee injury is more devastating than any other knee injury that ever existed, because we're fans of the team he plays for" thread.

[TheGoodBits]

If necessary, and it would work, then yes he could have some cartilage from my knee.

[Diss]

LOL, quote of the day.

Griffin SPITS at your sub-par cartilage. He would rather run the read-option bone on bone than let himself be polluted with your inferior DNA. Besides, dude is so advanced, he has EOB!!

[CrazyZeb]

Not in a million years

[DC9]

Griffin doesn't want your mere mortal parts

Well done! That perked me right up as the day was starting to drag on!

[ComManDersFan57]

I have bad arthritic knees. He wouldn't want mine! I guess it's the thought that counts.

[LiveStrongSkins]

Dr. Ray Solano, a local orthopedic specialist, who explains injuries and recoveries for NBC stated the cartilage issue is not something easily understood but constantly peddled. In his opinion, rg3 is a long, long ways away from worrying about any type of bone on bone issues. Even after the second surgery, he says a 22 year old knee hasn't had the degeneration that would lead to that even after a second surgery. Its also his opinion rg3 has plenty of "athletic reserve" and will be the same athlete again.

[SemperFi Skins]

I'll donate some cortisone.... I've had plenty of it and it works wonders... It's like artificial cartilage.

[LiveStrongSkins]

The same was said about mcgahee, who yes, did not have a second surgery but had a catastrophic initial injury. Initial reports about his injury centered around would he walk the same. They said his cartilage would be gone, he'd be bone on bone and done at 25. He's 31 and has outperformed and been around longer than a lot of running backs with no injury history.

[Audible_Red40]

Now that's a random thot for sure.

[SkinSabbath]

In the spirit of the thread, put me down as "real" fan #2.

RG can have as much of my cartilage as he needs. He's already stolen my heart! (ba-dum)

[HeluCopter29]

You guys know NOTHING about taking one for the team.

[HA1LV1CT0RY]

I'm on board. But don't we have the technology to give him some kind of robotic super knee?

Your potential future donation is well appreciated.

I think that counts as a PED.

[Rypien1191]

Sign me up. When I was walking out of the stadium after the Seattle game I was thinking I wish I could have blown out my knee instead.

One step closer to RG3PO

LOL at you actually updating the list! I'm going to start a thread titled "The official donate $20 to knee cartilage research" and then quit my job!

[thebluefood]

I'm about a year younger than RGIII. I'm relatively active. Let's do this!

[emor09]

I would walk with a limp for the rest of my life (I'm 22) if Griffin would return to his early season form and be with us for another 9 years.

[ThomasRoane]

Griffin doesn't want your mere mortal parts

Amen!
