Shanahan Grilled by DC Press (Says the MRI Might Be Wrong Because of Old Injuries)

[RINGLEADER]

Watching Shanahan get questioned about putting RG3 into the game long enough to watch his knee go side-ways. Getting peeved. Fun to watch him squirm. The fact that he didn't come out and say RG3 was fine and instead is sending him to Dr. Andrews for another set of MRIs ("sometimes old injuries can fool new MRIs") doesn't sound good...

[bowener]

What is the possible injury then? And how serious?

I didn't watch the game. What happened to RGIII?

Bad snap in shotgun formation, twisted knee when trying to cover ball.

On his last play, he fumbled the snap and went down ... it kinda looked like he was trying to scratch the back of his head with his patella.

Career likely over.

Really, Dr. Shannarat? I think this was misquoted. It should have read:

"I didn't really get clearance from any team physician".

It's true that MRIs are hardly exact. Half the time, the same MRI will give multiple, differing results depending on who is reading them. Been there. Got shirt.

Still, Rizzo screwed the pooch putting the entire franchise on the line like that. Especially considering what they gave up to acquire RG No Knee.

I feel terrible for the kid. It's just horrific that his career may be cut short due to the selfishness of Rizzo and his son. Disgusting, is what it is.

Go Wally!!!

The ****? It wasn't that bad. Maybe an ACL/MCL which should take him out for about 6-8 months.


I'm starting to be okay with not trading for him. I don't think he'll be in the league for more than 3-5 years.

He's there to win games. I'm sure he begged Shanahan not to play...

I was overreacting to the overreacting.

This was Shanahans plan from the very beginning.

Ruin his knee so he can't run as he did in college, forcing him to become a pocket passer.

I first read that as, "Been there. Got skirt." And I was like, "Me, too, brah...me, too."

The fans here in the DC area are furious and 99% are really pissed he stayed in so long. He was hurting early on and should have come out earlier.
