How is RGIII?

[Hitman#21]

FWIW he had a brace on.

You could tell, is that standard practice?

For some reason I just assumed RG3 was still in a hospital bed on life support. Glass half empty kind of thinking. Good to see him walking. Surprised.

A lesson in how the media can totally control minds. There is a reason you just "assumed" that.

Compared to the posts earlier in this thread, that is a mild assumption . The way some people were acting, you'd think the guy was a quadruple amputee or something.

Yes, folks need to get the "Gayle Sayers" mentality out of their minds when they think of these injuries now.

Medicine has come along way since the late 60s. That doesn't guarantee that RG3 will be ready come training camp and week 1, but his chances are far, far greater than some here seem to believe.

Does anyone have a video link? I missed it and can't find a link of him walking anywhere...

Really liked that he made mention of Alfred Morris there, once again his true humility shows. A genuine "face of the franchise" player.

Thank you so much LD. I appreciate it.

Exactly.

My favorite ES doctors are the ones insisting that RG3 should sit out all of next year, to fully recover and all. We would have been deprived of seeing Peterson's near record breaking season, had they performed his surgery.

People need to stop comparing RG3 to Peterson. The report from Andrews after Petersons surgery stated he had the cleanest knee he had ever seen. Petersons recovery is the exception. Not the rule.

It is good to see RG3 up and walking on the leg. I wonder when he will be cleared to throw a football. I hope he will be able to at least throw in all of the off season work. I for one would feel better about him not missing whatever changes they make to the offense.

Doesn't matter. Folks also need to stop acting like AP's recovery was some sort of super-human, supernatural freak occurence.

His recovery was the result of AP's amazing determination (which I believe RG3 also has) and the miracles of modern medicine (which RG3 also had performed on him).

The ES doctors on this board need to stop assigning AP's recovery to some special magic and believe in RG3.

The Conductor will be back full strength. He's gonna rub some stem cells on that knee. Did I mention he also has healing factor? Nothing surprises me with regards to he great one. His 40 time might actually get better...bring on the bionic knee.

It really has nothing to do with believing in RG3. Either the knee heals in time or doesnt.

It has everything to do with beliving in RG3

Believe that he is going to his rehab right, and believe that he has the will, the grit, and the determination to see himself back to 100%.

Yes, it was great to see him point out Morris, who was one of his contenders for the award.

[Darrell Green Fan]

Yeah I was surprised to see him walking so well less than a month ater surgeriest o both knees as well. It had nothing to do with the media, had everything to do with the phrase "total reconstruction".

That was fantastic.

I would like him to use this time to put on 10#s. I would rather have a little slower but bigger Robert next year.

Anyone have any dear antler spry to send him?
