Yes, hits are cumulative, and can lead to an injury over time, but that's not the case with this particular injury. His injury had absolutely nothing to do with repeated hits, or even the hit he took on that particular play. It was a freak accident that resulted from his body position causing his leg to move like a whip, and his knee hyper-extended. I have no doubt that there are coaching issues behind our poor season, and I have no love for the Shanahans either. But to crow about how you were right all along because RGIII did, in fact, sustain an injury last year is like saying the fence you put ujp to keep elephants out of your yard is doing it's job because you haven't had any trample your garden. Freak accidents happen. Jabari Greer landed wrong and his knee blew out. Not every injury can be so neatly put into your little "Ferrari in a demolition derby" model.
Just say'n.
I don't intend to belabor the point, but the injury he sustained against baltimore was reported to be a hyperextension. The injuries he suffered which left him crumpled on the turf requied repair of the ACL and MCL ... not exactly the same thing. So either "they lied" about the severity of his original injury, and played him with torn ligaments, or he suffered additional damage playing on the weakened hyperextened joint, leading to the more severe damage.
So, it is not a simple case of ONE FREAK ACCIDENT, as you keep insisting.
Just say'n
I believe Red Lobster and that arrogant twit of his is outta here at the end of the season. Jim Haslett and Keith Burns as well. Hopefully that time comes quick.
