I would like more than anything for RG3 to come back and play lights out while staying healthy. What Redskins fan wouldn't...

It's certainly a concern, and anyone who isn't concerned just a little bit is in denial. There's concern that any player on the field will be at risk; but we see with a lot of quarterbacks, such as Brady and Manning and Manning, and even as far back as Elway and Marino, that these guys hardly ever got hurt. And you only have to watch one game to see why: they release the ball quickly every time. Yeah, sure, Brady tore his knee; the risk is there. But the best QBs lessen the risk by getting rid of the ball quickly. Of course, RGIII has become example everyone likes to point to, but it's reasonable for fans of Big Ben and Aaron Rogers to wary of injury as well because those two players so frequently extend plays (with Big Ben the problems isn't as bad since he's roughly the size of King Kong).
So I'm with you, I'm concerned about RGIII's health, but not substantially more than I would be if we had anyone of a number of quarterbacks.
