How is RGIII?

[SkinsGuy]

I actually heard they're moving the Pro Bowl to August so RG3 can participate.

They can turn it into a preseason game.

Though I've seen scrimmage games more competative than the Pro Bowl.

At this point I would be very surprised if RG3 isn't our starter opening day.

I don't know...it seems that it is very likely that he will have one surgery this week and then quite possibly another, more serious one at a later date. Hopefully they don't have to wait too long between procedures.

All that's really been communicated is that the least important ligament is torn...which we all assumed given its been injured for a month. I don't think anything that I've read rules out further, more significant damage.

Don't know why anyone was ever worried about PCL as that injury is extremely rare and almost ALWAYS requires an straight back impact....

I hear ya! It was just being thrown around after the injury, and apparently is the one that can severely hamper a return to professional sports.. Something about 50% return fully, 30 return with limited mobility, 15% never return.. So, just worst case scenario being talked about I suppose.. Relieved it's not being mentioned any longer though!

For those who actually believed Shanny was lying about the initial injury and risked RG3 Future by letting him go bad in the baltimore game.
From ESPN: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012...cording-source

"On Monday, Andrews told The Washington Post that "Shanahan didn't lie about it, and I didn't lie."

"I didn't get to examine (Griffin's knee) because he came out for one play, didn't let us look at him and on the next play, he ran through all the players and back out onto the field," he told the newspaper.

"Coach Shanahan looks at me like, 'Is he OK?' and I give him the 'Hi' sign as in, 'He's running around, so I guess he's OK.' But I didn't get to check him out until after the game. It was just a communication problem. Heat of battle. I didn't get to tell him I didn't get to examine the knee. Mike Shanahan would never have put him out there at risk just to win a game."

Hell mother****ing yes. Hail to the Redskins. Let's get some freaking weapons and defenders and take it to the next level!

John Mara just called an emergency competition committee review. He's pissed at RG3's resilience.

Wow you'd think it just got reported that he was miraculously healed by Christ himself. I don't know if you've heard but they said they won't know if they have to do ACL work until they get in there to repair the LCL. We are far from "hell mother****ing yes" ville.

[SkinsGuy]

How much of Robert's unwillingness to come out is due to how well Kirk plays in his absence? Got to be floating around a little in the back of his head.

No way.

Because NO ONE is or was suggesting benching RG3 for Cousins, no matter how well Captain Kirk played.

I don't think he had that fear in him.

If "How is RGIII" thread on ExtremeSkins gets above 300 pages, Team sources say RG III will donate an inspirational quote to show he's down with the cause

We can reach that in the next 15 minutes. Let's get it done.

So, can RG3 win Comeback Player of the Year next year.

[hkHog]

We still know very little about the extent of the injury, I don't understand how people can be so excited.

Did you not read what I was responding to? If that holds true then I say hell mother****ing yes.

Here it is again: Source close to RG3 says doctors expect "same RG3 next season."

Why would he have two surguries? Wouldn't the doctor take care of the ACL problem if he finds any damage while repairing the LCL?

That's how I interpreted the tweet

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Can a smart person explain why it is so hard to figure out what is wrong with the ACL?

Most of the time serious ACL tears are known about quite quickly after they've been inside the knee I thought.

I agree. I must not understand what is going on because they still need to see the extent of injury to the ACL. Which means it could be messed up too. How can that be a relief?
