Shanahan Grilled by DC Press (Says the MRI Might Be Wrong Because of Old Injuries)
Watching Shanahan get questioned about putting RG3 into the game long enough to watch his knee go side-ways. Getting peeved. Fun to watch him squirm. The fact that he didn't come out and say RG3 was fine and instead is sending him to Dr. Andrews for another set of MRIs ("sometimes old injuries can fool new MRIs") doesn't sound good...
|
What is the possible injury then? And how serious?
|
I didn't watch the game. What happened to RGIII?

It's true that MRIs are hardly exact. Half the time, the same MRI will give multiple, differing results depending on who is reading them. Been there. Got shirt.
Still, Rizzo screwed the pooch putting the entire franchise on the line like that. Especially considering what they gave up to acquire RG No Knee. I feel terrible for the kid. It's just horrific that his career may be cut short due to the selfishness of Rizzo and his son. Disgusting, is what it is. Go Wally!!! FAX |

I'm starting to be okay with not trading for him. I don't think he'll be in the league for more than 3-5 years. |
Quote:
He's there to win games. I'm sure he begged Shanahan not to play... |

This was Shanahans plan from the very beginning.
Ruin his knee so he can't run as he did in college, forcing him to become a pocket passer. |

The fans here in the DC area are furious and 99% are really pissed he stayed in so long. He was hurting early on and should have come out earlier.
|
The bad thing for Shanny is Dr. Andrews unintentionally calling him a liar.

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey in that post, but damn ... I hope it's not what it sounds like. Defending Rizzo on this deal? FAX |

I don't get it. The guy could barely walk after playing a quarter and a half.
Actually, I'd like to hear the argument as to why Rizzo made the right decision to A) Play him in the first place and/or B) Not pull him after they were up by 14. FAX |

He was around 50-60% to start and lost mojo as the game wore on. They have a lot of faith in Kirk Cousins and felt a 100% Cousins had a better chance then a 50% RGIII who relies so much on his legs to run. No ability to run kills so much of his threat. Plus, they are afraid to destroy a career so early on like a racehorse that shouldn't run and does then is put down. |

Judging from Shanahan's remarks, RGIII injury situation can't be good. 2nd opinions. Flying to Andrews. References to AP and RG3's '09 ACL |

If he pulled him they would be pissed off & asking today why he did...

Wish RG3 the best but hope ShannaRat chokes on it |

Shanahan is in a no win situation unless they win the game.
If he pulls Griffin and they lose then Griffin gets questioned - Did you ask to come out? No. Did a Dr. tell you you couldn't play? No. Did you tell coach Shannahan you couldn't play? No. |

Rumors on Twitter that he has a torn ACL & MCL and is out 14-18 months...
Holy ish if true...watch out Shanahan. |
Quote:
The only possible justifications for leaving him in are, A) Important game worth risking losing your QB in or B) Didn't want to put up with press questions, or C) QB wanted to play and who am I to deny his opportunity or D) ... ??? ... forgot?? Yeah ... forgot to take him out. That's it. FAX |

The JCL is the most serious. |

Adrian Peterson is most likely not from this planet, I wouldn't use him as the example to judge knee injury rehab.

At least we know that the Chiefs won't be trading for Cousins now.

This, RGIII gets asked a question that he doesn't even have to answer? Wow. With all respect, Mr. htismaqe, I think you're on the wrong side of this one and a re-think is in order. Normally, I'm with you 100% on stuff ... even the bad stuff and incorrect stuff. But this? Damn. Rizzo should have pulled the rookie when he saw him struggling to walk. The kid was already injured. This case is very much like Berry's injury ... he was hurt, they let him back in, and the next thing you know ... BOOM!!! .... out for the season. Coaches have to make tough decisions. Decisions like this one right here. No single game is worth RGIII's entire career ... particularly considering what he cost to acquire. FAX THE SENSIBLE |
Shaun Merriman and Carson Palmer is prime examples of what a PCL tear can do to a player.
|
Leaving him in the game wasn't nearly as stupid as continuing to run option plays forcing him to scramble when he could barely run. I think we all pretty much commented about it in the game thread. There was no excuse for that.

I completely tore my acl, pcl mcl and lcl, the pcl is a substantial ligament, mine was repaired with a cadaver achiles tendon, it is still a bit loose front to back.

Bottom line is it's pretty ****ing obvious that RG3 is going to be hurt for the better part of his career, however long that might be. You can't protect him or eventually he's sitting on the bench even when he's healthy. The GREAT RG3 isn't that "great" if he can't stay on the field. Honestly, I'm pretty ****ing sick of the RG3 talk already. |
