RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

Not a guarantee he helps himself. If he plays poorly he'll blow it and lose his chance. Not that I'm saying I want that to happen or that it will….

or to increase his value soooooo much that RGIII becomes the trade bait . . . :-0

i have complete faith in cousins and am actually kind of excited to see what he does.

not even thinking about the trade value side, focused more on the redskins value side

Yeah and given RG3's situation I think all potential trade talk with KC should just be put on the shelf.

Let's see RG3 make it back healthy first, and stay that way for an entire season or two.

Only when KC is going into the last year of his rookie deal should we even think about a trade.

RG2 says RG3′s ACL wasn’t completely torn, fixed anyway | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/09/rg2-says-rg3s-acl-wasnt-completely-torn-fixed-anyway/)

I agree without about RGIII, but not about the coaching staff not having the guts to say no to RGIII in the future. During the post game press conference, Shanahan said something to the effect of his still learning how honest RGIII is when it comes to how he feels. Players will always say they can play, even when they cant. Once a coach works with a player for a while, they learn when the player truly can go and when he is just being tough and trying not to let his teammates down. Shanahan admitted to the fact that he would second guess some of the decisions he made. I'm pretty sure that Shanahan won't take Griffin's words at face value anymore. Said I was going to stay away, but your increased circumspection today, BHA, has made me have to comment on the above.

Another role played in all of this is young Robert's fearlessness. I think that's a chink in his armor, a flaw - I think he's fearless to a fault. Now the coach knows that.

I don't think it happens again, either.

And if I'm reading between the lines correctly of the things Robert himself has been saying since Sunday on Facebook, I think he is kicking himself, too, and maybe he's wizened up about that.

He'll be back. They will run the same offense because it's so effective, and he will learn to be more careful like he was when it was hurt.

Figured they'd do the full ACL once they we're in there--it's obviously a concern. Do what will provide the best long-term prognosis and take the proper amount of time to rehab.

If the skins do not err on the side of caution now, then they truly are nuts. After this brouhaha, I'd be pretty amazed if he's not PUPed, just to be sure. And I am fine with that! Let's get Rak and Freddy back, get Kirk some snaps, and draft/FA well. Then, when HE'S READY, bring RGIII back into a better team. What's the friggin rush???

Not sure if this was posted, but it is more grim, and I take it, more realistic. From Keim, who I like in general:
