I agree, that RG3 bought into his own hype. He knew he was too injured to win, let alone play effectively or competively. He should have told Shannahan this. Shannahan, being around the game most of his life, clearly saw RG3 was a lame duck out there getting hammered and looking pathetic. He should have intervined at half time, told RG3 his year his over, great try, give the ball to Cousins so they could actually win the game.So it is now official, Gremlin will be undergoing a major reconstructive knee surgery on Wednesday to repair his torn LCL/ACL. The media of course is reporting that he'll be back in 6-8 months, and ready at the start of the 2013 training camp. This to me sounds like hogwash, and a desperate attempt to throw the DFWs everywhere a bone, in the hopes that America's favorite negro will be back, better than ever.
The truth is, he's done. I don't care how far medical science has come, and it has come forth a long way since those pre-2000 days when an ACL tear was usually a career-ender. You do not come back from multipe ACL tears as the same player. He will now be forced to become a traditional NFL pocket passer, but he never has been, nor will ever be that caliber of player. He had some success with a dumbed down college offense this season, but ultimately, that has resulted in his demise, and we once see why it doesn't work in the NFL. He will fail to make the transition, most likely get injured again given his lack of durability, and wash out of the league in less than 5 years. It may sound like a bold claim, but I fully stand by it.
Also, if anyone caught his arrogant post-game comments, you could tell his guy bought too much into his own hype. He knew he was injured before the game, but probably thought he could work some magic even at 50%. That, plus he most likely did not want Kirk Cousins to start and win the game, thereby getting all the glory. It's ironic that Cousins could very well be the opening day starter next season. There's no way Gremlin makes a similar comeback to Adrian Peterson, it's apples and oranges.
Now, I have to pray that Matty Ice beats popsicle Pete and his horde of affeles this weekend. Both RG3 and Shannahan F'd up, big time, not to mention rich jew owner Synder being himself and not laying down NFL type sod for a NFL playoff game at home! For Christ's sake, a comedy of errors within a week that some may never recover from!
