How is RGIII?

[justice98]

What debacle? Injuries happen.

You think this was all handled in the best way possible? On the field and off?

I heard the recovery time is actually 6 years

Is there a credible source that has said this? Apparently you can't post a damn thing here... even an opinion/reaction to an already-posted tweet without it!

Confession: Every time RG III did something outside the pocket I had legitimate anxiety about his previously reconstructed ACL.... What that means for the years to come.. A lot A lot A lot of anxiety

Actually there have been numerous studies done about ACL reconstruction. And the general consensus is that a reconstructed ACL is stronger than the original ligament for at least the first 4 years after the surgery.

For those who want more pain today - NFL Network is showing the game right now on replay. Normally I watch them a couple times during the week but can't stand to this time.

Have a feeling it will be ever MORE upsetting watching Shanahan allow an obviously hobbled and ineffective RGIII flounder on the field...

Not watching that travesty again. Too painful both figuratively and literally.

ESPN just reported that he will be going under the knife.

Robert Griffin III is now Robo-Griffin F22 Raptor

I think regardless of the recovery time it's looking more and more like Kirk will be our guy for atleast most of 2013.

Let me lighten the mood in here.

I think he said it has the potential to be a "chronic" problem

Now that's a HUGE problem if true.

As much as I hate to say this, Peterson was an extremely rare case of injury and recovery. If we expect RG3 to duplicate that, I think that's being a little unrealistic and unfair. Having said that, I do hope he makes a full recovery and is under center for the start of the 2013 season.

And remember what Dr. Andrews said when he went into to AP's knee, that he'd never seen a knee like that. Contrast that with RG3's knee which has all kinds of other stuff going on in there.

Awesome. By that time Cousins would have won a couple of SBs, and we can trade him for 5 number one picks. Then RGIII comes back, just 28 years old, just getting into his prime and we can use all those picks to build the greatest team ever to play football.

Yup. Just got a post update on that.

Figure on Captain Kirk for a good bunch of next season. Not that it fills me with any great joy, but it adds to my feeling we won't be consistently challenging until 2014. As fantastically unexpected an awesome ride as we've just been on.

Hail.

I just don't understand this sentiment at all. I'm reading everything you are reading and I don't get that impression at all.

Thank you for that. haha!

If the ACL is damaged also then it's likely the entire 2014 season to be missed.

That's not at all likely.
