double post.

Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...
 

I'm not panicking yet but i'm hearing lots of the same news about RG3 maybe being out 18 months on a "best case scenario" type deal. Snyder allegedly flying down with RG3 because there is a chance that the injury could be career-ending.

Prayers needed right now for Robert, I would have to almost guess that somebody is gonna be a scapegoat if RG3 is indeed done....

Hopefully RG3's injury is not that serious.

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;985934]You cannot listen to a player in regards to a injury. He could have had a broken spine and still been begging to get in the game. That's how they are. This decision is up to a medical staff and coaching staff. C'mon man, it was obvious this guy should not have been playing. You don't need a medical degree or even stay at a Holiday Inn Express to saw that. Some things are just blatantly obvious. That was one of them.


Again, I think after this, those duties should be stripped from Shanahan and put on the world renowned doctor they've hired.

^^See...this shit is a problem. A huge problem.[/QUOTE]

I couldn't agree more
To say this is no ones fault is bullshit
Read the game thread,90 percent of us realized in the 2nd qtr Rg3 needed to be replaced by Cousins,even Matty joined the thread to say put in Cousins
If Rg3 was healthy and this happened,then no one would be to blame
This is absofukinlutely on Shanahan,and to a lesser extent RG3 himself

I am sure everyone involved has learned their lesson. Shanny is not perfect, nor is RG3. The blame game is not going to fix RG3's knee or get us back in the playoffs. Coaches/players gamble with these decisions all the time. Heck, I've heard that Garcon's injury could have come back at any time. Not the same context, but I am just saying that these do or die decisions happen all the time.

Had RG3 finished the game and won (with similar health results), we'd be praising them for bravery and guts.

Not so. Chris Clemons, who was injured yesterday, has a torn ACL. He walked off the field and to the lockerroom.

Re: As long as RGIII is 100% for 2013 training camp...
 

Even had we lost, but not had that calamitous incident happen, we would have sat toasting his toughness, looking at the rehab process and counting the days to next year. I am sure Shanahan would like to have the time back, but no one can do that, and for the Skins, it's just a bitter pill at the end of a Division Championship season.

Now some of u are saying his career is over?? My God I can't wait until the final results are in.

Maybe you,not me
I dont even care that much about winning the game
Before the game started me n my buddy both said win or lose,were happy for the season,but we had no way of knowing Shanahan would ruin that for us

Also, I am sure he was on a lot of painkillers.

That article says he may not even require surgery.. geez I've never been so nervous about an injury even my own ankle injury I had in HS.

They may do exploratory surgery according to Mike Jones (from WaPo).
