"Redskins Easter Sunday" will be an official holiday the first week Black Jesus returns...

As with every Easter church will be full.

6-8 months is pushing it.

Is it possible? Sure.

Is it foolhardy? Yes.

Sources: RG III may be ready for '13

I agree that this should be a new thread. Damn, too many "thread police" on here. I would never have read this had it been one of the thousands of posts in the other threads. Thanks for posting!

I think the 6-8 month number is BS. Not sure where that came from but I seriously doubt he plays in 2013

Sorry, Im gonna take the world class Dr. on this one and if they say 6-8 months thats what I am going to believe. No dissrespect but I take it you have not gone to med school nor do ACL LCL reconstructons? Neither do I so Ill defer to what the dr.'s say

+1 Agreed, I hate having being told/scolded something is buried in such and such thread.

All I remember the last time is RG III said he was really down and disappointed but would sit on a chair and throw footballs to his Dad constantly to improve his throwing. 2 years later he won the Heisman...You have to think he'll be a better thrower because of this

[respectgibbs]

Not Dr.s folks, Mortenson put in on a tweet. Who knows where he got that #. 6-8 months is the absolute best case scenario with no setbacks. And that's assuming this coach and training staff are going to risk it after the backlash they're getting this week. God forbid if he was to reinjure it in 2013, all it'll be is "they rushed him back". I'd put serious money on a 2014 return.

"The ACL was diagnosed late Tuesday as a complete tear of the patella graft that was used to repair his torn ACL suffered at Baylor in 2009. A team source said Dr. Andrews likely will use a patella graft from Griffin's other knee to repair the most recent tear."

They will operate on BOTH knees, even the good one? Ruthro! I know I'm no medical person, but if my body part aint broke, I don't want anyone touching it! Get it from somewhere else!

Sportscenter just tweeted he'll be ready for the start of the season.

Well I'm going to be optimistic for once and hope that 6-8 month projection is correct. Please just let him completely recover.
