We might not even make the playoffs if Giants win out and Seattle wins out, right?

If we were to win out, and Chicago lost another game, then we would be in over them. I see that as the best chance considering how Seattle and the Giants played today. Seattle has a serious shot at the division with their play.

Let him heal and buckle up for the last three games.

Never mind, beat me to it!

Yeah, maybe this will happen, just to let him rest as long as possible and only play if possible. I know he's a warrior and wants to be there for the team, but playing 10-15 years for the team sounds good to me!

Giants have a bear of a sched...i doubt they win out. Although I doubt you guys or Dallas do either but thats to be determined.

I see what you are saying, and I can even admit that RG3's playing style might increase the chance of his getting injured (like Vick or McNabb always being hurt for example), but I still think it would be a mistake to limit his game out of fear of injury. Regardless of the risk, I cannot imagine handcuffing RG3 by taking his speed and elusiveness out of the game plan.

Also, this idea that a running quarterback cannot (or is unlikely to) have a long and successful career is simply false.

-John Elway played 15 years (774 rushing attempts).
-Fran Tarkenton played 17 years (675 rushing attempts).
-Steve Young played 12 years (722 rushing attempts).
-Heck, even McNabb played 12 years (616 attempts).

Anyway I think Elway, Young, and Tarkenton are good counter-examples to the "running QBs are doomed to short careers" argument.

Let RG3 be RG3 please. Do not limit him out of fear!

What a terrible thing to say after such good news.

Does this mean we are fully in the clear for him to get make it back by the end of the season? The fact that they say no "significant" ligament damage makes me wonder what was meant by that. I'm not a health major so I'm sorry if its obvious.
