yeah man, and I put emphasis on "young" because he's gonna get smarter ... but that drive is there and frankly like the edge that he has.

Now we just need to get a baseball coach in here to teach our young warrior how to properly slide then we are all set.

Baseball Coach ...no way, I know the right person.

Older "The Daily Babe" thread... had to be taken out when Redskins took over the site as the official team messageboard

@mikemp71 From what I was told it was only a matter of time before the repair from 2009 gave.

@mikemp71 was explained to me as.. fixing a radiator hose with the belt off you r pants. 09 was a quick fixed aimed at a fast recovery.

LL ‏@HTTR24_7
@mikemp71 The way he runs/plays was a matter of time. This fix is stronger..

I hope you're right and it's a tightening. But the odds are against that, and you are welcome to research the literature. The doctor using the word "re-do" is rather telling as well. But I'm speculating and I freely admit it, therefore, none of you should take my word on this.

Are you a doctor? Not being snarky; honestly curious since you seem to know a decent amount about this stuff.

John Keim ‏@john_keim OK, talked to Dr. Lehman again. He said 6-8 months for RG3 is realistic because just doing repair on LCL, and not a graft, matters greatly

Also, after reading about ACL injuries to begin with, the don't even know exactly WHY 2nd or more surgeries are less likely to return a person to normal. Most of the time its age and the person's body, but for all the people claiming that its a guarantee that the player has less of a chance of being back to what they once were, thats not entirely true.

they're still doing studies on it. The fact that it WASN'T completely torn or all that damaged should give hope that the new graft will be much stronger than the original and allow him to return completely normal, regardless of what number surgery it is.

Basically his new one should be like his old one, just built to last longer. I realize this won't stop speculation that he won't return to normal, but I think people should know theres more to it than just "well after the first one, hes just not good as he use to be". Its more about that persons body and if it keeps tearing, its often because the body didn't accept it as much as it should and strengthen like a native ligament would. Maybe I'm wrong or interpreting it wrong.

But I assume if Dr. Andrews has confidence he'll be back 100%, then he doesn't feel like RGIII's knee is going to be in bad shape after healing.

I thought the repair was on the ACL not the LCL. Also it is kind of disturbing to know his first ACL surgery was a "quick repair" to get him back in there. Question I have if this is true, did the Redskins know about this before the draft and after it.

I wonder what he did for repair exactly? Fuse the town piece together somehow? interested in knowing the difference. I guess I could google, but that requires work.

If he did all this on a "ready to pop at any moment" ACL, what is he going to be like after Dr Andrews fixed him up?

Good god, Man

[MartinC]

Whatever the reality of the injury and surgery the team and RGIII need to be conservative on his rehab programme and getting him 100% ready before he gets cleared to practice and play. If he pushes too hard or comes back too early and there is another injury I dont even want to think about what that would in terms of his career.

And a guy with a SKINS Super Bowl Ring performed the 1st surgery? WTF!
