RG3 - Reconstructive Surgery on Knee. 6-8 Month Recovery, Ready by Season Opener '13

[Huellz Santana]

Damn. So this was that demon Shanahan's plan. Ruin to true next gen player to get Cousins more snaps....

It was obvious in that falcons game that syneder wanted rg3 while the shanahans wanted cousins.

The fukkers could barely contain their excitement. No designed qb runs. All of sudden they became a passing team.

I keep hearing how smart rg3 is. How smart is he when he can't see this shyt?

you guys are fukking idiots. RG3 saved Shanny's job and is obviously their best option. no way he wants Cousins to play over him​

Yes


I don't TRUST HIM OR SHANNY to tell me his ready to go. Shut him down for the season so their is no mistakes

i agree. Bob aint got the sense to sit his ass down when hurt (this has been exhibited numerous times during teh season). let him heal first​

 

[VladTheImpaler]

Hopefully he'll play smarter next year. He won't last long if he keeps taking big hits.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

^ Lol. I don't think he'll be ready by opening week this fall

I'd ride with Cousins and let him heal properly

The word reconstructive means the knee is being re-done, which probably means he won't have that speed any more.

We had a guy who could be the goat NFL player and its now probably not going to happen.

D.C. Sports...

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

the GOAT football player? very premature...

but who knows what his play will look like next year, even if dude still has the speed, i doubt they'll play him the same after this, shanny would have no choice (the fans & snyder would be on his ass) but to be more conventional with RGIII

 

[Chris.B]

This is the same injury he got in 2009.

ACL surgery on the same knee....NOT GOOD

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

No fukking why his back in to start the season

what?

I thought I saw some struggle in that post, but I ain't even mad at Swag.

Riding in to work on the DC Metro this morning, I heard several people talking about it. So much angst, y'all. And just walking through on my way in I saw a good deal of folks looking like . (Well...even more than usual, it seemed.) It really does feel deflated around here.

I was pretty sure he was going to need some kind of surgery after the Ngata hit, regardless of whether he played out the season or not. 6-8 months sounds about right.

I dunno, it sounds like the biggest issue is that the previous ACL surgery was not up to par -- the dude played on a sprained ACL all season.

I think he'll still be the fastest QB in the league when he gets a James Andrews knee.

your optimism, bruh...hope you're right.

It's 2013, nikkas. He'll be fine and 100% as long as they don't rush it.

But knowing how they have handled shyt in the past...

 

[STAN JONES]

i dont think he'll have the same speed

The rehab actually makes your knee stronger and you can gain speed

Look at AD this year

Jamal Lewis got faster and ran for 2k yards after the 3rd time he tore his knee up and had reconstructive surgery

This. He's still going to be fast. But he has to be smarter when he runs. If he has a lane like he did against Minnesota, I still think he can run 80 yards faster than ALOT of players in the NFL.

However, Shanahan will rush him back. I mean, he's the same guy who made Terrell Davis play in the Super Bowl when it got to a point where he couldn't even SEE.

Griffin will still be a good QB, he has the smarts to becoming great, but his coaches have to protect him and let him play in the pocket. During that run of Ws the Redskins had, he proved he could make tough throws over the middle, back shoulder, and in tight windows.

He'll be back breh

Carson and Rivers both had complete tears in the playoffs and both was ready to go in the preseason

RG3 will be fine

 

[Texas2step]

Now he can be the great pocket passer that he always wanted to be . Now he doesn't have to be compared to black QBs like he always wanted





When will these Uncle Toms realize that they will always get screwed in the end by trying to appease to these CACs

 

[GetSomeMoney]

I think he had shotty ACL surgery while at Baylor, I think this is a good thing for RG3, get everything corrected in the knee. That knee will be a lot better than it was before the injury, we saw AP, Brady looks good, RG3 is gonna be straight, no worries.

Exactly.

Folks need to stop using the surgery timetable of their Aunt Rita's knees or basing his ability to return on Gale Sayer's knee exploding. Rod Woodson had reconstructive surgery after Barry destroyed his knee and came back in the same season WITH speed.

Andrews JUST fixed Adrian's knee and you'd be nuts if you don't think Snyder isn't gonna fly every specialist from across to the globe to deal with the rehab. He's probably gonna buy the Phoenix Suns entire medical staff for the next year

 

[YouMadd?]

Adrian Peterson is a product of modern medicine, not Wolverine recovery abilities
What that means is the NFC EAST still runs thru Washington,

People need to stop comparing AD to other players... Adrian Peterson never had never had an ACL tear before and Dr. Andrews said he basically had no scar tissue in his knee joint, couple that with his work ethic and mentality, he was in the best situation to come back from his FIRST ACL tear...

This is RG3's second tear on the same knee.... Read up on multiple ACL tears to the same knee... I wish him a good recovery but dude will be affected by this no doubt, whether it is physical or mental, idk.. We'll have to wait and see.
