surgery on RGIII’s knee reveals damage to the ACL
Source says surgery on Robert Griffin III’s knee reveals damage to the ACL of the Washington Redskins QB
The Washington Redskins quarterback had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The procedure also examined Griffin’s ACL. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, January 9, 2013, 11:57 L. Todd Spencer/AP Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III reinjures his right knee as he falls awkwardly while throwing an incomplete pass under pressure from Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith. WASHINGTON - A person familiar with the situation says the surgery on Robert Griffin III’s knee revealed damage to the ACL. The Washington Redskins quarterback had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The procedure also examined Griffin’s ACL, which he tore while playing for Baylor in 2009. Another torn ACL would complicate Griffin’s chances of returning by the start of next season. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not made an announcement about the latest details surrounding the rookie quarterback’s injury. Griffin sprained the LCL last month and reinjured the knee in Sunday’s playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. John Lok/AP A hobbled Redskins QB Robert Griffin III lies on the ground after fumbling the ball against the Seattle Seahawks during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Wild Card loss. |

I love Griffin III and hope he has a great career but give me a pocket QB all day over a running QB.

The entire time I watched the game last week, I was dumbfounded that the coaching staff wasn’t pulling him out of the game. It was just a matter of time before he did permanent damage. That's on top of him being pretty much ineffective after the hot start.

If we take Shanahan completely out of the picture, how does this affect your view of RGIII's injury? I'll bet a lot more people would be upset by this. It's bad for the whole league for this guy's career to be ruined his first year in.

How is that not an excuse? The guy is a pro. He said he could play. It was the biggest game the franchise has played in years.

Just more evidence that no draft pick is a sure thing. You never know what's going to happen. Good luck, RG3. |

Shanahan really needs to consider changing their offense to try to keep him in the pocket more. Time to scrap that read option shit. |

RG III was selfish to insist on staying in the game after that second touchdown.
The Redskins had a better chance of winning the game if had not been selfish. Shanahan could have had more courage and pulled him from a game. But RG III put him in a tough spot, by insisting on staying in the game. I am glad the Redskins lost, since Seattle v. Atlanta is a better matchup. But I hope RG III learns that being a team player means letting the better player play. Once RG III got hurt on that rollout, Kirk Cousins was the better QB. Hope RG III comes back healthy as ever, Chiefs v. Redskins next year could be a great show.

People keep talking about how ineffective he was in the 2nd half, and that really isn't true. The playcalling and Seattle's D dictated the 2nd half. He was often in 3rd and very long situations. There were screens blown up and no rushing yards in the 2nd half. Hankerson dropped a key 3rd down conversion near midfield the drive before (IIRC) RGIII got hurt.
Griffin's problem was that he didn't play smart. The play before the bad snap, he rolled out and had tons of time. There was an open man that he didn't see and instead of throwing the ball away he took an unnecessary sack from Irvin (that I thought bent his knee back a bit).

Complete system fail between the HC, doctor and the player.

He wasn't capable of playing the game at a high enough level to win the game because of his injury. He was injured further and they lost the game which makes it a terrible decision all the way around. RGIII is lucky he wasn't injured worse then he was and I find it hard to believe that anyone who was watching that game wasn't thinking the same thing I was. "That guy shouldn't be out there!"
