Robert Griffin III faces mild concussion

[DarrellsMyHero28]

In a game we can actually win? Ugggghhhhhhhhhh

So, according to you, winning one game this season is more important than:

A) Robert Griffin's long term health

B) Winning games in 2-3 years when the Redskins could actually be a playoff team

Am I reading you right?

Let RG3 rest a game and start Kirk against the Vikes

If they do let him rest, I think our other RG should start. Rex gets the start and Kirk is #2 again. I think that will give us the best chance to win.

It was a lesson he had to learn, don't play with nfl speed and strength on D. Hopefully he's okay and can go next week.

Whoa whoa whoa, lets not get crazy.

Start Kirk if god forbid Robert can't go.

And the good news: He's smart - he won't be making that mistake again. That play was dead to rights, just throw the damn ball away.

I'd expect him to play next week. He did look pretty bad on the sidelines, though. It was a pretty nasty shot.

[Probos]

Sit him.

Sit him for as long as it takes for him to get to 100% and then sit him another week.

This is just awful, awful news. Concussions are nothing to mess around with.

Smart kid. I agree.

[Probos]

Jesus, he didn't die.

He'll play next week. If he weren't going to, then he'd still be knocked out.

You are stupid.

Absolutely not. Just awful timing.

we all knew it was coming.

Somebody posted in another thread that Shanny said that RG3 didn't know what quarter it was.

Yes,
“At that time, when he wasn’t really sure what the score was or what the quarter was, we knew he had a mild concussion, at least according to the doctors,” Coach Mike Shanahan said."

Not only was that hit straight up legit and clean, but he could have really played it dirty and destroyed RG3 and didn't.

Well said

That's just really not good at all. RG3 has so many strengths and weapons, plays where he's getting hammered all the time just aren't necessary.

'There's No Such Thing As a Minor Concussion,' UB Doctor Says

And there's no one size fits all treatment for concussions. Aldrick Robinson was knocked out and played a week later, but another guy might have effects for weeks.
