I think RG III may be over, knee surgery.

[bigbearballs]

Not sure if serious...

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

See AP. Will come back stronger.

Beat me to it. He's much younger, he'll bounce back fast

[Murcielago]

You hear so much about him because simple people enjoy repeating "RG3" constantly.

[HowieStearn]

Im not a redskins fan, I dont give a shit

[Douchebag 007]

he will be the first QB to play with a pegleg

[Snotty]

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..............

RGIII is hurt because of the name "Redskins." It's bad karma or something: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...d15_story.html

That is such bullshit. WaPo does this once a year for the past 32 years I have lived here. Hope the name never changes.

You have no respect for the game..........I HATED Roger Staubach......But I respected him........

Another thing, every expansion team has to have some boring ass name. No more names of a people. Florida Marlins. Carolina Panthers. Jacksonville Jaguars. Baltimore Ravens.

Hell, surprising there wasn't a movement against Houston having a team named the Texans. I'm sure La Raza was pissed.

[MrPACS]

You have to think and hope that when he does come back, they'll limit the # of run attempts per game. Then he'll be just another NFL QB. Such a waste.

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

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

I think they should change the name to the Powhatans.

They can keep their logo but change the name to something less racist.

I work in orthopedics. I have met James Andrews.

And that means what, exactly? That you know Andrews was lying when he said he didn't get a chance to examine Griffin before he went back into the Ravens' game?

That Griffin wasn't really limping after the original injury in the Ravens game, just pretend-limping? Or you could tell from your scary experience in orthopedics that it was a "non-serious" limp?

What does the fact that you've met him or work in orthopedics have anything to do with what we're talking about here, you silly name-dropper?!? Please connect these dots.

You don't know what you are talking about. Plain and simple.

I know what I read...................from USA Today:

"(Griffin) didn't even let us look at him," Andrews said. "He came off the field, walked through the sidelines, circled back through the players and took off back to the field. It wasn't our opinion.
"We didn't even get to touch him or talk to him. Scared the hell out of me."

"He's on the sidelines with Dr. Andrews. He had a chance to look at him and he said he could go back in," Shanahan said Dec. 10. "(I said) 'Hey, Dr. Andrews, can Robert go back in?'
'Yeah, he can go back in.'
'Robert, go back in.'
"That was it," Shanahan said.
Only that's not the way it happened, Andrews said. What's more, Andrews remains worried about Griffin's health as the Redskins play the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC wild-card game at FedEx Field today.

"I've been a nervous wreck letting him come back as quick as he has. He's doing a lot better this week, but he's still recovering and I'm holding my breath because of it.
"He passed all the tests and all the functional things we do, but it's been a trying moment for me, to be honest with you."

--------------------------------------------------------

Does that sound even remotely like a proper way to deal with an injury to any player, let alone a franchise player??? It was a horrible, horrible decision by the head coach, backed up and defended by terrible lies.

"Well, gosh-golly, he just snuck out there on his own. He's such a competitor he really wanted to be out there, so what can you do?!? "

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.

He limped like a motherfucker back out onto the field, and it is absolutely on the coach to FORCE him TO SIT! Fuck if the player wants to be out there or not; the player shouldn't get to decide that.

If there's any chance for further damage you sit him. And Andrews' quotes from the USA Today article makes it crystal clear that he knew there definitely was a chance for Griffin to do further damage.

What don't you understand about this, Mrs. Shanahan?!?

[Nemo]

Fucking obvious that this is when the injury occurred!
