It doesn't matter.
An ACL is completely replaced with that of a cadaver. It's not repaired, it's replaced. The biggest issue is rehab but as it's been proven in the past year, ACL's can be rehabbed quickly and efficiently. |

RG3s problem is the Shannahans used the option way too much and that put their ferrari in the shop.
If I were to try to pinpoint Genos most frustrating weakness, it's that he doesn't run with the ball when he absolutely should. There were probably 20 times, last year alone, that I yelled at the tv for Geno to take off and run with it because of the coverage and he seemingly refused to. Geno wants to be a pocket quarterback, not a hybrid. |

They can also remove a section of the Patella tendon to use as a ACL replacement. Very interesting:

Do I think he should go #1 overall? No. Do I think that he could develop into a solid NFL starter, given the "right" situation? Yes. But he's far from a finished project, unlike any of the guys taken in the past three drafts that have become solid starters (and that includes Dalton and Wilson). I think the toughest thing about evaluating him from watching games and Youtube is that it's difficult to actually know the guy. He's not charismatic. He does have the droopy eye thing going on. He doesn't appear to be a leader. He just doesn't look the role or act the role. I think that's a problem for a lot of NFL people. |

Cadaver replacements are far less common than grafts from the hamstring or patellar tendon of the patient, especially athletes.

A cursory Google search shows that grafts are dangerous, especially for young athletes, with graft failure at 55% for under 25 athletes. Very interesting indeed. |

I'm sure Dorsey can stare at them both, meld them together, and make a Barkley Smith.
