RGFragile Dislocates Ankle GIF

I am not sure any of us should be celebrating even if it is against a hated rival and even if it is someone that we might think is arrogant...cause I think the skins are a better team with Cousins starting.

If Griffin is only out a few games and Cousins plays well I think that really hurts the team when he comes back. A rookie coach dealing with that situation is a nightmare.

I am not going to be sad about another player getting injured. Don't think I will celebrate it, with the exception of a few QBs like Vick or Ruthlessraper, cause I know as soon as I do it will bounce back and we will have a player getting injured. Superstitious ...maybe.

On a side note.

I am not sure any of us should be celebrating even if it is against a hated rival and even if it is someone that we might think is arrogant...cause I think the skins are a better team with Cousins starting. If they had not given up all of those picks and put so much onto RGIII...Cousins would have been the starter already as he beat out RGIII in camp and preseason from everything I have heard or read.

I think for a lot of people, it's the potential dysfunction that is being celebrated. RG3 started off well against Jacksonville, because....it was Jacksonville and Cousins played great for the same reason, but I do think Cousins has limited upside. He can be a starting quality QB, but I don't think he has pro-bowl potential. RG3 does, but at this point even if everything clicks, I'm leaning towards believing he will never consistently stay healthy.

That is harsh. Nobody deserves to get injured and especially such a possible significant injury.

He sucks.
He's rich.
He is a Commander.

They laughed and wished Romo ill when he was hurt.

Effem All!

I'm glad that RG3 doesn't appear to be working out in Washington and that it will cost them big to have given up so much for a guy who hasn't really done anything for them.

I will not, however, ever root for cheer or be glad about a player ever getting injured. Maybe that's just the fact that I used to play football and it was something we never did and that's just how I still am. But I find it pathetic and weak if you actually celebrate another person being injured.

And no I don't care if that bothers someone or if they feel that the need to puff out their chest and be the bad guy on it. It's pathetic and weak.


Glad he's a bust as a player but I'm definitely not glad or hoping for the guy to be injured, ever. I'd rather he just be seen as the bust he is for his inability to read defenses or play well.

Have this strange feeling that RG will find his way to Oakland, sooner rather than later

This is a blessing in disguise for Gruden. Instead of being handcuffed by the franchise QB that probably wouldn't listen to him more than half of the time. Isn't that good anyways.

Now, he has a QB that is ALL IN. 100%

I like Cousins and I think the Commanders can/will win with him.

That being said:

Also, love this write-up about RG3:


"MMMD 2: RG3 as tough as they come

I would not use the words “injury prone” to describe Robert Griffin III. I would say that he is the ultimate tough guy and team player.

Major joint dislocations are extremely painful. I wouldn’t begrudge a player if he were to collapse immediately and drop the ball. I have seen this happen. Instead RG3 heroically finishes the play and not only retains possession, but gets his team a first down.

When a player suffers a significant or painful injury, his reaction cannot be anticipated. RG3 dislocated his ankle and continued to play football. He took an additional step, threw for a 19-yard completion, and then hoped on his one good leg out of bounds without ever putting weight back on the injured left side again before falling.

I am not sure how many other players in the league would do the same thing for his team when suffering such a painful injury."

Yeah, I don't expect anyone here to agree with me lol...don't care, though.

 

[Leadbelly]

Sure, then we can go get JFF after he's cut. After Romo, if Jerry's track record means anything, this is the kind of recycled garbage Jerry would love to gamble on.

Ooo yeah, QB controversy! Just like ye olden times of the early aughts. I'm on team Quinthy...er um Griffin.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like there was no major structural damage. While there is no time table set, it looks like he'll be back this season.

But don't let me stop the back slapping and guffaws over an injured player.

Shhh...this is no place for discussions like this! This is for celebrating injury and posting pointless GIFs rather than actually formulate a complete thought and defend an argument!

On a serious note--injuries are a funny thing. There are players like Bradford who have the recurring ones--and players like Matt Stafford who can't stay healthy, and then all of a sudden can. Griffin's injuries are fluke in nature--they are not the same recurring ones over and over. Any player would have been hurt on a hit to the knee by Ngata that Griffin took in 2012. There are pictures on twitter of Griffin getting sacked and having his ankle roll under him, which might have caused the dislocation. The Nats Anthony Rendon is another one--he suffered 2 (or three...I can't remember exactly) broken ankles in college and the minors. Same ankle and everything. Hasn't been a problem since.

So is he injury prone? Maybe. Will he get over them? Maybe. Time will tell. But it's entirely too early to start celebrating his demise.

For the rest of you who just want to post single sentences with monosyllabic words, please, continue. Post your GIFs. I find them hilarious, in a sad and pathetic way.

 

[coogrfan]

Right. But the fact that Griffin is a bust should be celebrated. The Commanders invested in that guy like he was the next top QB. If they were right that spells bad things for the Cowboys.

They can repair the ankle and he can go on to live his life and do great things as a human being and role model to the yada yada yada don't care. I'm a Cowboys fan. The Commanders just lost their franchise QB yet again. Party at my house.

Why would anyone celebrate a non enemy combatant human being in pain? This isn't war, it is a freaking game, adulthood is embarrassingly absent from some of you.

I love the smell of desperation and self delusion in the morning.

Don't care, he sucked anyways.

How easy is it to have to continuously come back from injuries to lead a team?

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

Its normal for Skins fans.

 

[jrumann59]

The story that seems to be missing is coming out of the preseason, the story was most of the locker room wanted Cousins as the starting QB and the RG3 had pretty much alienated the whole team except for his little clique. I do not wish anyone an injury but I still can call him a self absorbed ****** or is that no go since he got hurt.

You should shower then. It might help...or don't if you like the way you smell...
