So no thread about RG3's knee being almost bone on bone?

[Joe Sixpack]

Adrian Peterson's amazing season has changed our perceptions on recovery from reconstructive knee surgery, but don't assume Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will take the same fast track back to greatness.

Citing a league source, ProFootballTalk reported Saturday there is "much greater concern" regarding Griffin's knee than the Redskins have publicly let on.

Any comparison to Peterson should end once the complexity of Griffin's surgery is understood. RG3 had both a torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament repaired in his right knee, but doctors also needed to operate on his left knee for a patellar tendon graft.

The biggest concern is the damage to the cartilage in Griffin's right knee, which has now been operated on three times. It's unclear how much cartilage remains in the knee after two ACL surgeries, raising concerns of an eventual bone-on-bone condition that could end Griffin's career prematurely.

Robert Griffin III
Like Peterson, Griffin is a unique specimen, but his road to recovery is an uncertain one at this time. Hard work -- and some good fortune -- will be necessary for Griffin to get back to his former self

I told those idiot skins fans to enjoy this year. The fun isn't going to last.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

He almost has no knee cartilage and he's 22..

Dr. James never said a word about a meniscus tear. Sounds like a bunch of rumors, like Brady was about to get his leg amputated because of some infection he had.


I dont think dude will be back for the start of the season, but Im not buying bullshyt rumors either.

His career ended before it started. The Rams are going to real good off those draft picks.

Yeah man, it's not looking good right now. Cousins is gonna have to carry the load next year. Maybe we can sign Jennings and get our secondary straight through the draft

 

[Street Knowledge]

He's a pure pocket passer though. Even if he's not as fast he can still murder you because of how accurate he is. I don't think he'll play next year tho

It's all downhill then, boy better stop trying to run so much.

You wish.

He may have the capability to make some plays in the pocket but he is not a pure pocket passer.

Shanahan calls boots with him even on one pin.

he is an avg qb without the threat of his legs. the passes he throws come from the pistol off the read option fake across the middle or the deep ball. he dont make that deep comeback route or the out route outside the hash on the sidelines. unless he comes back 100% no one will be threatened by his legs and make him pass

 

[Thingsfallapart]

Some folks are in deep denial about RG3. Got themselves convinced that the boy is really gonna come back by week one after his second knee surgery "stronger than ever".

 

[Slystallion]

Im a giants fan but this sucks...he was a great talent...was looking forward to Eli sonning him until Eli got to Larry Holmes status

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I will be happy when either the skins just come out and tell all so these rumors/speculation can stop or when he comes back and does whatever he does so people have evidence
