2013 NFL playoffs -- Rob Gronkowski of New England Patriots to miss rest of postseason due to broken arm -- sources - ESPN Boston

Although Gronkowski had his forearm heavily wrapped, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he did not regret allowing the star tight end to play.

"The doctors handle medical decisions," Belichick told reporters after the game.

Why isn't Belichick catching heat for playing Gronk after his injury, only to have him re-injure his arm?? Sounds like the coach was risking his player's health to win a playoff game, and Gronk had the injury to the same place & requiring a second surgery. Belichick should be investigated by the league... Let's call it arm-gate.

Because 3 months from now his arm will be fully healed with no long term consequences.

That and the fact they didn't spend 2 first rounders and a second on him.

And he is not a franchise quarterback or potential franchise quarterback.

Then why didnt Norv Turner take heat for letting Phillip Rivers play an entire game on a torn ACL?

Why didnt Jason Garrett or Andy Ried take heat for letting Romo and Vick play with broken ribs/punctured lungs?

Why didnt Mike Holmgren take heat for letting Brett Favre play with the litany of injuries he had over the years?

Re: RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

Am I crazy or was RG wearing a smaller brace in the playoff game? It seemed a lot less bulky; makes me wonder whether or not he would have hurt it had he been wearing a proper brace.

It was the same one he had worn all along.

Re: RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

RGIII said he tried wearing another, smaller brace in practice, without getting approval from the team staff and as soon as they noticed it, they made him go back to the bigger brace.

That may have been what I was thinking.

I think this speaks to the warrior mentality players have. When we ask why RG3 didn't take himself out, consider this

For a sport? That's way beyond what I would have expected.

Judging by my behavior during a game it's not a sport to me either.

The Cowboys won. If we won alot of people would have focused on a heroic RG-3 instead of a questionable decision by the coach also.
I dont remember who the backup was for Romo either, but our backup was recently inserted into two big games in very recent history and played exceptionally well leading us to two much needed victories. I think that also makes it easy to point the finger at Shanny imo.
