Much of his game is predicated on mobility; he's now had two knee reconstructions and pretty serious ankle injury. If this causes him to lose a step, lateral quickness, agility, etc., then he will be playing without his best attributes. I'd much prefer he'd torn his labrum into little pieces. That being said, it's foolish at this point to consider him finished.

On Cooley's film breakdown today, he said RG3 made
that play much harder than it had to be. There was a play to be made way before he got anywhere near the sideline, but he didn't pull the trigger and ended up having to stiff arm a defender before making that awkward throw. I hope he comes back and is spectacular, but I have serious doubts about his durability.

It's nice that he was playing well before he got injured. But the key words in that sentence are, "he got injured". Again.
