We don't know all the facts as far as what was going on down on the sidelines or what info he had, or didn't have.
RG3 isn't the first guy in sports history to play hurt. Plenty of guys have been lauded for their courage for playing hurt or sick. And I expect if he somehow pulled that game out he'd be a hero for it. Since we lost it's easier to label it as a bad decision.
It's funny all week anytime I've heard an ex-player talk about it, most have supported the decision to keep him in the game, while those in the media that aren't ex-players are saying it was a bad move.

That is true,and that is exactly why it shouldnt be left up to the player,the coach should no better.
I was listening to the radio yesterday skipping from channel to channel,turned on the nfl channel on Sirius,they were discussing the situation.{I wish like hell I knew who was talking but I dont}
Former player was talking,saying he was in similar situation.He admitted to playing hurt,said "was I the best man to help us win that day,NO,but I was what got us there and I deserved to be in there"
I was flabbergasted and couldnt believe he would admit to that,that should tell you all you need to know about players,most are selfish
