I think RG III may be over, knee surgery.

[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?

I went to ASU, all the jocks got through because they were making money for the school. Call me cynical.

[skylarbrie]

shannie said: we owed him a chance to compete... he had done so much for us this year. if i may digress, there are constant romours of rg111's love of the cock, consequently, the kid made a concerted effort to prove that he is a tough guy, thus, he played with reckless abandonment when he refused to step-out of bounds or slide feet first t o avoid tackles.

[KillVampires]

Or his tutor was

RGIII isn't the typical moron athlete. His parents are military. Strict background. Lots of schooling. That's why ESPN called him a "cornball brother". Because he doesn't act like a retard.

Apparently being academically successful and black is a sign of weakness in athletics. ESPN wanted RGIII to be a real nigga. Not a cornball nigga. They wanted him to be more like Jovan Belcher, Plaxico Burress, or Michael Vick. You know....authentic niggas. The kind of athletes that kids can really look up to.

[FCCstandards]

I'm just saying as a rookie, it's gonna cut his career in half, at least. He won't be the same.

[Hot Trash]

Fart in school

[redwolf]

Shanahan needs to go, he sucks as a coach, the only time he was any good was when he had Elway, elway could make any coach look like a genius, now he over uses this kid and perhaps ruins his career. if I were the owner I would can his ass and quick for fucking up my organization.

[IlluminatiJones]

Leaving RGIII in Letting RGIII play in that game was the move of a coach who thought the team was at the end of an era rather than the beginning of one.

How far did Shanahan think they would realistically go this year, even with a 100% healthy RGIII??? Did he really think he'd get by Atlanta, then San Fran or Green Bay, then the Pats or the Broncos?



I have absolutely no idea what he was thinking. He may have shortened RGIII's career and made him less effective when he is in there, and he could have shortened his own career as well...........................not to mention all the grief he's taking for this right now.

For a wild-card playoff game?!?!?

And he got gifted the perfect scenario to pull him.............................a 14-point lead!!!

"We didn't want to tempt fate any further.....................Robert clearly wasn't 100%, we were up 14 points, we have faith in Cousins and our defense, blah, blah, blah" would be SO much easier to live with than the uncertainty of the franchise's future.

And I don't want to hear any of this "hindsight is 20-20"/"easy to second-guess" garbage: HE'S THE FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE!!!

You simply don't gamble with it. And if Shanahan had just come right out and said that, there would have been 0.0 second-guessing, especially with the doc already of that same opinion.

And fuck the few idiots that would have second-guessed him anyway.

[Chuck Kongo]

He'll be fine because he can actually throw the ball accurately (when he can plant).
He may not ever have 4.2 speed again.

Part of why he's so accurate is because he throws a bunch of short screen and slant passes that are set up by his running ability and the threat of it confusing and scrambling defenses.

He starts losing his running ability and the threat of it (along with an entire off-season of teams studying All-22 footage of his college gimmick style offense) and we'll see how his passing game goes next year.....

[ryanv1978]

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.

[skylarbrie]

elway was a running qb for about 2 years under shannie, but the constant injuries forced him to become a pocket passer...check his stats

[Jon Hein is God]

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

Baylor is a prestigiuos univeristy. Look who their president is.

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.

[Jon Hein is God]

By the way, what's up with the shack behind the Redskins sideline?

I've never seen a college or NFL team with a little shack on the sideline.

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.

That's a damn good question. It's like the place where they store the rakes and shit. It's really weird.

It must be a short-cut into the locker room.

fixed it for you

[king october]

It's not the ACL that's troublesome, it's the LCL. They have to open him up to fix that, and the rehab time could be much longer.

I enjoyed watching him compete along with Luck - but when you run the option like that your QB is going to take too many hits. That's why Luck is going to last a lot longer. He's a five step back throw QB.

does he own a dog?
