I think RG III may be over, knee surgery.

[fccstandards]

What a waste, torn ACL. Will never be the same.

Will he last four years in the league? He's only got three more to go now.

You 'Skins fans need to settle the fuck down......We did alright for more than a decade with ACL-less Hall O' Famer..............

Can't they just use the extra bone in his foot?

Griffin's a cornball brother, he doesn't have that extra bone.

It's over, Johnny, it's over.

I can't believe Shannahan let him play. Everyone could see he was hurting.

There are some people out there saying crap like, "well, RGIII probably lied to coach about how well he felt, etc."

That's what athletes do. They don't want to be out of the game. Remember when Troy Aikman got LIT UP concussed and the coaching staff hid his helmet? The guy tried to take the field without his helmet.

Part of a coach's job is to say "no" to players. Coach Shannahan failed his job in letting RGIII back on that field. Everyone could see how gimp RGIII was and we weren't seeing anything differently than coach.

Hopefully the surgery and recovery go well.

You can't just put it on coach.

one of the most well known ortho docs in the world was on the sideline and gave coach the thumbs up. he's backtracked since the game but still.

sure he did

do you really believe it was a genuine, un-coerced thumbs up?

and what about the brew-ha around his original injury, during the Ravens game, where the doc wasn't even able to examine RGIII before he went back out there?

the whole thing stinks, and it's 100% on the head coach..........................unless Snyder absolutely forced Shanahan to play him.

I work in orthopedics. I have met James Andrews. You don't know what you are talking about. Plain and simple.

Bottom line is this; nobody FORCED RGIII to play. He ran back out on the field under his own will. If he had sat down on the ground said Coach or Doc my knee is blown out nobody would have forced him on the field and nobody would have looked at him any worse for it.

I totally agree- and they had Cousins ready to play and they didn't use him.

[Dump Button]

He will be back as RG IV

Plus didn't this happen to Adrian Peterson last season and this season he almost broke the single season rushing record

RG is only a rookie and apparently has had injury trouble in the past. Once that cartilige goes, forget about it.

[AcquiringSignal]

Tebow is available. All is not lost.

[Mr Vengeance]

Relax, he can always fall back on his college degree....

Actually, he was Dean's List all four years at Baylor.

Or his tutor was

[AxlCorey]

Or his tutor was

That's some tutor...he got his bachelor's in three years and was working on his Master's his senior year. He graduated high school a year early too with high honors. Same tutor in high school?
