RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

I just cannot believe that this is happening already. We had glimpses of it all season, and while we finished the season off strong, looking back, was it worth it having him out there after the first quarter against the seahawks? He was hobbling with a very intense limp. I dunno. I think maybe kirk could have won the game giving him the helm up by 14. I know its already ancient history, but having our franchise guy ALREADY with a torn ACL (his second) and a torn LCL doesn't bode well for the future. This is where he needs to become ultra cerebral, and learn to just be a pocket passer, and only a very situational scrambler.

Knowing his personality, I think its going to be tough to keep him in the pocket, even when he returns after all of this.

Get well RG3. Do not come back one SECOND before you are fully and completely healed. If it takes all of next season, so it goes. Just gives kirk a chance to show teams that he is worth that first and second rounder he will command after next season!!!!

Exactly!! This is why they should have benched him till he was healthy to begin with, he is the FRANCHISE QB after all. It's over and done can't cry over spilled milk, let's just hope he doesn't suffer a third knee injury cause that could be it whether he's young or not.
