Lots of speculation RG3 has a torn ACL

I know.
We play that final game without 5 of our very best run defenders, and all I ever hear is "no excuses".

Taken from another board

First post -

"Redskins QB Robert Griffin III has torn his ACL and PCL according to sources of WRIC-ABC in Richmond. WRIC also reports that he will not be able to play for a minimum of 14-18 months."

Subsequent post - opinion of poster

Okay, I asked around my "sources". WRIC did indeed report that, but, they quickly recanted and subsequently deleted the story.

Here's what is known as fact. RG3 is going to Atlanta to be evaluated by Dr James Andrews. Dan Snyder is going along with him. The "official" report is the MRI today was "inconclusive" due to RG3s previous ACL tear on the same knee while at Baylor.

Now, that could mean one or two things. One, it could mean just what it says and the tests were inconclusive.
Or, Two, the MRI done today did indicate a probable tear in the ACL and PCL, but, they want a second opinion.

I know nothing of this, nor have i seen the original story. However, found this interesting.

As I said on that board, I am not for any player getting hurt, ours or theirs.

But...

If this is the Football Gods taking revenge on Shanahan for teaching the chop block to his players over the years, well it's a shame for RG III but Shanny deserves it.

If this is an inappropriate thread since it is speculation please do what you will with this.

[TwoDeep3]

Sorry, didn't see it.

[sbark]

crap it wont upload....

Pretty sure it wouldn't take that long to recover (if he really did tear is ACL and PCL).

Shanahan might be in big trouble for this.

What makes RGIII so great is what he can do with his legs, if you take those away from him you have an average pocket passer.

My grandfather coached his whole life and is a real old school dude but understands the position is changing. He said he'd rather have Cam Newton than RGIII because one of them is going to not miss any games and the other is going to spend the majority of his career on the injury list. I said why is that? He said 'Because one is built like a football player, the other is built like a track star. Give me the football player all day.'

This was before the draft last year, old man obviously still has it.

Reports here in DC are that he PARTIALLY tore his LCL & ACL.

[Gemini Dolly]

whoa, looking at how his knee just gave out, I thought it was going to be a full tear of something. Partial ACL tears, Im reading on the internetz, take about 6 weeks to heal.

RGIII got very fortunate.

That really doesn't mean much. Partial could be really minor or as bad as a complete tear from the surgery standpoint

DR. andrews will go in and scope the knee tomorrow thats why Rg3 is flying down. Think thats the only way to be sure how much damage is done or not done.
