Im not a doctor and am ecstatic that RG-3 is playing this week(for obviously completely greedy reasons having to do with the redskins and my fantasy team). I understand the doctors cleared him to play, but that does not mean that it is ultimately the best thing for the athlete. There are plenty of studies done that show returning to soon can create problems down the road even after all of the follow up tests are done, passed, etc. I mean some of you guys are making it seem like nothing happened. The concussion that he suffered still puts him in a more vulnerable spot than someone who did not suffer one last week. It is not complete idiocy to think that sitting RG-3 for another week is at least a viable option.
