Kidding about the adamantium. But not about the forever.

My guess is the only details we'll get from now on are updates on his progress from team doctors in statements during mini camp and beyond, and from RGIII himself and what he chooses to divulge to us.

Re: How is RGIII?

Imagine the money they could've made if they put the surgery on Pay Per View.

They think Pacquiao/Mayweather would have made a lot of money back in 2010? That'd be nothing compared to this.

I kid, I kid. (Sort of)

The critiquing of Dr. Andrews , the worlds best orthopedic surgeon, by ESers would be comedy gold however.

sounds like it, so the LCL was really the only new injury, ACL was fixed

Yeah, seems like ACL was just kinda tweaked to make it better than it was, almost just to be sure since the knee was already open.

This suggestion is plausible, but unless Andrews and Adickes have a fight, I'm willing to wager we'll never know for certain.

It's obvious, Jim, that this guy is feeling the heat. Why he went in on the posterior side of the patella tendon is a mystery to me.

The sad thing is, we both know we are not kidding. :)

"My grandmother could graft better than that!! Dr Andrews needs to be cut immediately. He is just taking up a roster spot that could be used for depth in other areas like a quality backup neurologist."

Re: How is RGIII?

sadly, it wouldn't even just be ES that would critique the guy. we all know 106.7 would be calling for his license and saying hes a hack, with reports from some doctor in Montana calling in about his expertise and twitter would be talking about how poor his incisions are.

And then, all of a sudden, that "Dr. Mara" guy shows up in the operating room!

Re: How is RGIII?

They should have take the tendon's from Rex and given them to RG3. What is Rex going to need them for anyway?
