The reason RGIII had to have this surgery is because of how he and team handled his earlier injuries. He played in games where he really should have been inactive.

I dont want RGIII to return earlier than he should and play as a pure pocket passer - kirk cousins can do that. I want RGIII to return when he can play HIS style of play, like he did against Stl Louis, and not a moment sooner. The only thing RGIII needs to adjust on the field is to continue to slide when in the open field, instead of gaining another yard or two and taking an unnecessary hit.

Im very much on the same page with you.
