He's only 22. And, now has two structurally sound knees.

If this is true we're in good shape. At this point, though, there's no way to know how much the knee has suffered structurally from the two injuries. I have no doubt his ligaments will be in decent shape, but it's my understanding that's ...

BillyCheat just "jeopardized" Gronks season by putting him in...but he'll get a pass while Shanny gets reamed.

Shanahan didn't get reamed for putting Griffin in, he got reamed for keeping him in. I don't think anybody had a huge problem with Griffin playing against Seattle until he tweaked the ...

The timetable was mentioned in a few articles and came from Dr. Andrews from my understanding. He just doesn't believe it much like everything else.

The only quote I saw from Andrews was a pretty generic one complimenting Griffin's worth ethic and hoping he'd be able to be ready for the '13 ...

All depends on the quality of the source. As fans we probably won't know for certain until July/August.

By establishing a totally unrealistic expectation for recovery time, beginning with a preposterous 6 month window as a possibility, they have already set the stage, months in advance, for additional harm to occur to RG3's career, should he push his rehabilitation too hard, and return to action too ...

This. Lose to the GD Seahawks, Griffin's knee, now this? Ugh.

Great question. Although I'll warn you. Ray has been weeping over a carton of spilled milk since last Sunday. He doesn't want to be realistic. Instead he wants everyone to join a chorus of somber weeping, blame spreading, and will eventually circulate a 'Fire Somebody' petition shortly.

Just a ...

It's also noteworthy that the Doctor probably made about 10 Grand an hour repairing the damage, so what incentive does he actually have for doing what is necessary to prevent such an injury from occurring? His good heart? His integrity? I'd say both of those things are now up for debate.

What ...

Keep in mind that he's a QB though. He's not running full speed into a an object that is applying force in the opposite direction. Robert just needs to retain that speed and elusiveness that helps him be a dual threat.

Absolutely. I'm far less worried because of the quality of Griffin's arm and ...

OTOH... he was a 70 year old SURGEON... looking at the INSIDE of his knee... do you think that was simply a matter of academic curiousity?

Andrews was performing the surgery, I don't think there was much curiosity involved. He said other than the tear the knee was flawless - compared it to a ...

there's no guarantee but this kid is a more talented runner than AP and he does not have to take the bashing - he will be better prepared through the rehab and there is no doubt in my mind he will be more determined than AP

Determination and talent only matter so much in situations like this ...

How they used him was okay with me. The two regular season injuries came on scrambles and frankly could have been avoided had Robert gotten out of bounds (Falcons game) or kept his legs down (Ravens game). Most of the designed runs had him running to open space with ample opportunity to slide or get ...

Reports are that Andrews used a patellar tendon graft from Griffin's left knee to fix the ACL.

the kid is VERY special and if AP can do it I have every faith that RG3 will be fine too - this kid is an Olympic level athlete

If the issue comes down to work ethic I think we all know Robert will be perfectly fine. He'll do whatever he's supposed to .. and more.

My understanding is that ...
