@john_keim: Folks: will be tweeting updated convo with Dr. Lehman and how much difference it makes if ACL repaired vs. reconstructed. one word: huge
Negatively or positively? And in what regard recovery time or overall knee ligament health?
The problem we have going on right now is we have to few doctors that have examined Griffin and more leahman opinions or professional options dealing with other patients not named Robert Griffin III.
I want to hear from Dr Andrews specifically before anyone else. He is one of the only people on the planet right now who has a very good understanding of Robert and more in particular Robert's knee.

I just want to report that the surgery with Robert this morning went wonderful. My mate Dr. Andrews had some trouble with the Davinci machine at first, but he was golden after I gave him a rundown on how to operate it. As with any patient confidentiality statement, I cannot comment on the actual damage to the Robert's knee, but I'm sure the Redskins PR staff will be along shortly to blow smoke up the fanbase's ass to keep them from bailing next season.

@granthpaulsen: One thing I found particularly interesting from my convo w/ the renowned doctor: RG3's previous ACL tear won't add time to rehab/recovery.

And from Robert Griffin 3 (thru HTTR24_7)
LL @HTTR24_7
RGIII "One thing I won’t do personally is quit, or play scared. I’ve never played scared in my life"
I don't want him to play scared or quit, but I do want him to play smarter (which I believe he was starting to do until he made that cut back in the Ravens game :( )

He did that same stupid shit in the Seahawks game. A play where he tried to squeeze another yard out on the sideline. If the kid doesn't learn, we can forget this ride and might as well prepare for the next QB. He simply will not last. Nobody wants him to play scared. We want him to play smart. Nobody is questioning Manning or Brady's toughness when they slide. Sad thing is, I still don't think the kid gets it.

You can still ball out and be smart. He knows that.
Man you sure love to beast mode everything.

For somebody that "knows that", he certainly isn't displaying it. Kid has already been knocked out of 2 games, and sat out a full game on things that could have been avoided. These weren't hits in the pocket, these weren't from some uncontrollable force. These were direct results of not sliding, not running out of bounds and so on. You call that beast mode, I call it calling a spade a spade. I want this kid around for the long term because I realize our success is going to be tied to this kid. I think you are giving him a pass, and it's evident by you saying "he knows that". I think his decision making so far proves the opposite.
For the record, I have no problem with RGIII running. None. It's just if he can avoid the hit, he needs to.
