i can picture BB shaking his head in disgust

Wrong gif, it's always

I was actually @ this

RGIII will be ready....if AP can come back the way he did, so will RGIII. unless; this injury/surgery is being undersold to us and its worse than they say.
he is young, strong and has a destiny;
To become the Second Black QB to win the Superbowl!!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

but like i said in a previous post, Knee surgery today is very medically advanced as well as treatment, recovery, therapy......
its not like the Butch Hacking shit they did 10-15 years ago.....
again; look at AP.

Raheem Morris granted permission to interview for the Browns open DC position. With Jim Haslett having his contract extended, it makes sense for Morris to make the move to Cleveland.

So what do you guys think our big needs are going into the draft? Obviously there's a ton of holes in the secondary but I also think he need to bring in depth at all of the linebacker positions as well. I think we're actually set on offense save for maybe a late round developmental WR.

My order of needs goes:

S
CB
OLB
MLB
C
WR
NT

If you guys have read the reports on RG3's knee, there is a lot of concern among the Redskins organization and with doctors who have looked at it. This isn't as simple as Adrian Peterson's recovery. And another thing, "If AP can do it RG3 can" - How does that make any sense? AP's recovery, especially for a RB, was unprecedented and AP is a special kind of athlete. There is legitimate concern RG3 may not be ready for the opener.

And that's why we have Kirk Cousins who can run the offense for a few weeks while RG3 finishes his rehab

Cool story, did you forget there's also a man by the name of Kirk cousins on our team? RG3 can take his time coming back there's no hury

Yes except if you lose cartilage in your knee, thats not really something you can get back.

Are you really trying to say this is a career ending injury?

No, career shortening? Possibly.

A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that there is "much greater concern" about Robert Griffin III's reconstructed right knee than Griffin or "anyone connected to the Redskins" has let on.
Griffin will end up rehabbing both knees because surgeons were forced to use a patellar tendon graft from his left knee in order to fix his right. He tore the ACL, LCL, and partially tore his meniscus in the right knee. Per PFT's source, the "biggest concern" is with Griffin's knee cartilage. Due to two knee constructions and ultimately three surgeries since 2009 at Baylor, there is concern "about how much (cartilage) remains and how long it will last" in Griffin's knee(s). A potential end result could be a bone-on-bone condition, which can lead to microfracture surgery and/or shorten a football player's career.

RGIII is equally as impressive as AP athletically. However, the LCL takes longer to rehab than the ACL, and they are taking a patella graft from his left knee, so he has both to rehab. I would think they aren't going to make the same mistake twice and rush RGIII out there again. They have Cousins who can start for a month or so until RGIII is ready.

I think WR and NT are non-issues, especially if some of the depth players along the defensive line are brought back. WR, I can't see us drafting someone else. I could potentially see a FA signing, but that's it.

Secondary help and MLB depth is probably the biggest need, and if Rob Jackson and Chris Wilson leave via FA, OLB jumps ahead of MLB. Secondary help could be found through FA, especially at safety.

I still think OT is a position we need to upgrade, especially RT. S, RT, CB is currently my top three, but I also am not going to complain with BPA is rounds two and three due to not having a first.

[SuperKevin]

I have a lot of faith in Tom Compton to make the team next year and be valuable OT depth

[SuperKevin]

I also hope Chase Minnefield comes back strong next year. His ability to play CB or FS will be huge for the secondary

Kirk Cousins is a more than capable backup. I'm not saying he's as good as RG3 but the team can manage just fine without him while he recovers. There is no reason for the organization to rush his rehab to get him on the field for preseason or even Week 1

I'd like to improve by a starter. If we have someone slide down to us that ends up as the BPA available, take them. Polumbus is solid, but I'd rather have him as the primary backup.

Definitely a wild card. Maybe not a starter, but someone like Doughty who plays special teams really well and can step up when injuries happen and be a solid starter.
