No one's trading RG3.

Even the though of it is asinine. It's not happening.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna put as much blame on the 22 year old rookie as I am the veteran coach who should know better. He knew RG3 was still injured but he was to caught up in making the playoffs.

Blame away. It's not changing anything.

Sighhhhh...Stop believing Rumors guys...Just stop. There will be a bunch more of these coming out over the course of the offseason. Don't believe everything you hear. I mean Robert had a torn PCL for a few hours too

And a ruptured spleen, a blocked carotid artery, and dislocated eyeball. I was really worried.

LOL..The negativity will only get worse because people get paid for this kind of garbage. I remember when Brady tore his ACL, he got an infection and the story was they were going to have to do a 2nd ACL surgery. I'm ready for something like that, but it's too early just yet

So....

Some random article on PFT > the opinion of the doctor who actually performed Griffin's surgery???

Come on guys :(

Yes, absolutely. You have to believe Mike Florio... he's just looking out for us fans. He's like a little kid he loves the game so much.

I'm to the point where I'm sick of hearing about RG3 and his knee. I don't think we will hear anything meaningful for a while and that means that we will have to see these types of speculative articles and opinions.

I've been on pins and needles...really edgy, pretty close to ****ting bricks, so I know the criticism Coach has gotten is overwhelming, as it should be.

From your keyboard to whoever's ears.

So we wanna trade RG3 because he got hurt? Athletes with more than one injury are injury prone now? Smh... This is going to be a long off season.

So you doubt they will be able to take care of it? Why? If Dr. Andrews says the goal is for him to have a long career and that he could be back for the start of this next season why would you doubt it? I assume it's your keen medical knowledge and spot-on assessment of the injury since you've actually been there to see RG3's condition.

One thing is he has his youth going for him. If this were a 29 year old RG3, then maybe I have more worries about it (sad that I'm close to being 29 myself, but in football terms that's starting to get up there). Peterson is definitely the gold standard for recovery, and we can't expect similar, but let's not forget that he is 5 years older and has taken a lot more punishment than RG3 as well. Welker came back early from an ACL injury and excelled, and Charles was another player who excelled this year despite an ACL tear last year. Heck, Peyton Manning is 37 and had 4 neck surgeries. I think people are overly paranoid about the severity.

I mean, I can't recall the last athlete whose career ended from just an ACL tear. There's Shawne Merriman, but his was a combination of playing on a torn LCL and PCL for an entire SEASON and no longer using steroids. He's been plagued by injuries ever since (though it's been calf, foot, and ankle injuries, not repeated knee injuries).

I think it's called SynVisc or something like that. Doctor recommended it to my wife instead of cortisone shots (which can destroy cartilage over time) but the insurance wouldn't pay for it. It's supposed to be really good but I guess it's expensive.
