RGIII 'way ahead of schedule'

Are you referring to Jason Garrett, called by some in the local medial as "Red J?"

Back to RGIII, the rehab may be encouraging, but anything can happen between now and the 2013 season...reinjury, a season like Peyton Manning's last year, something in-between.

Since when did the board become infested with all these pseudo-Moderators who are wondering why a certain thread is in a certain forum?

Is not clicking on the link that difficult?

It's the offseason.

Since the "like" button is not on this forum, I'll quote and second the sentiment.

I disagree. The only way to "measure" your team is with wins and losses. You are what your record says you are and it makes no difference who the other team suits up. Whatever gives the 'Boys the best chance to win is what I root for.
i would never "pray" for an injury to someone.

I have no doubt that they will say he is "way ahead of schedule" in his rehab for next summers knee surgery as well.

Hopefully he comes back healthy. Wouldn't erase the bad taste he left by being a big reason they beat us twice if he came back less than at his full capacity....if we can't beat average teams in their best condition then we don't need to be on the field.

By some, although conspicuous and embarrassing.

The ones that would scream at Iggles fans cheering when Michael Irvin went down with an injury, yet salivate when it happens to Michael Vick.

This...that's why I wish the season finale last year had Lee, Ratliff, and Carter healthy. I don't think we run Morris at will if they are there - and we would have probably seen some limitation in what RGIII was capable of doing before the disaster in the playoff game.

As a Skins fan, I'll take the win regardless...yet wins over depleted teams are somewhat more hollow...and in my heart of hearts I wasn't confident we'd be able to get past the first round of the playoffs even after this game against an unusually healthy Seahawk team.

In retrospect it actually would have been better for us to lose the division, as sad as that sounds.

I'm not a fan of it myself, but take it as implicit respect for RGIII and try to see it as a compliment. Personally, just prefer your players stay healthy but your organization blows it's draft and FA moves from here on out, few as the draft picks may be.

The Redskins offense was firing very well in Dallas on Thanksgiving with Lee and Carter playing in the first half. Ratliff hasn't been the 2009 Ratliff since well 2009.

Agree. Of course the Redskins were badly injured going into the finale as well. Having Carriker/Orakpo/Merriweather all year may have made the finale a meaningless game.

No way, no how. The organization badly needed some sort of success, as did the fan base and we know our young players can win a "win or go home" type game. That win is going to be huge going forward

As for RG3 being "way ahead" I'll just wait and see when he is on the field. I am not a doctor, and I don't think anyone else in this thread is either

That's more like it.

I hope you keep Red running the show, and Jerry running Red.

I agree, except that it was Carter that went down in the second half of the Thanksgiving game. I think Lee got injured when they played Carolina and was not a factor in either game we played against them.

I do agree that if we were as healthy as the Seahawks going into the postseason, we would have had a real chance at making some noise. I'm noticing a trend between teams which seem to constantly have large numbers of players on IR and one's that don't. Some injuries are just plain ole bad luck, but one of the major questions I have about the Skins are the training staff and how well they do at injury prevention and rehab (Arrington, Landry, Orakpo, Brown)...being glariing examples.

Umm.

Dallas was missing 14 players by the half of that game.

Sean lee was on ir. scandrick and carter. Went to ir after getting hurt early in the game.

U guys beat us last year, but the reality is u were really only a posession better than us in both games, which is all it takes but u guys act like u were 14-2 and went to the Super Bowl.

Hopefully this year we won't have Third string players on defense or Demarcus ware on one arm.

I agree 100%. I've been saying for years that Snyder needed to overhaul the entire medical staff, sans Dr. Andrews. Too often are players complaining about bad rehab programs, poor decision-making in how to handle minor injuries that eventually turned into major ones due to poor prevention techniques.

Nearly every time we lose a player for the season due to a particular injury, I'm half expecting him to go down again next season with the same injury, and that notion has been right far too often. Orkapo tears his pectoral muscle, and then tears it again the next season. Landry tears his Achilles' tendon, then tears it again. The only one that surprised me recently was Hankerson not re-injuring his hip.
