Bwahaha, it all makes sense now, we are in an era of pussification of all sports.
I wish no ill will on RG3. My buddy is a "lifelong" so he deserves trolling.
I have a grandfather clause enabling me to make fun of franchise players going down with serious injuries. It's cool.

Guy at my office is trying to downplay AP's year. "I mean, on some of those runs, where was the defense!?"
C'mon, man!
C'mon, man!
Back in my day we gave some people a couple rags to wear and a sword and put them on the same field as hungry lions. Now we wear pads and helmets, and no longer have the wild animals.
Pussification.
Even Brady doesn't seem the same after his injury (but I'm not sure how the injury has to do with it and not just him getting older).
Women heal differently from these sorts of injuries.
Don't forget that fucking field, which was responsible for getting Clemons and Hauschka injured. Not sure how big of a factor it played for RG3 but the Redskins organization cost us there.

Christ, that's brutal man.cashman said:
I told all the Redskins fans that Mike Shanahan would end RG3. They were all like "nuh-uh". Seriously, Shanahan needs to go. Use this injury as an excuse if you want, but if he's still there, he's going to continue to do stupid shit. Like run his qb. And send his qb out for passes. And play him with a gimpy leg.
There's a difference between playing hurt and playing injured. I know it's cliche, but it's the absolute truth.
Who cares about playing hurt, he was completely ineffective. On the first two drives his QB Rating was 128. After the first injury his QB Rating was 8. Any intelligent coach would have realized there was something seriously wrong and pulled him because he was hurting the team's chances of winning.
Jimmy Graham this year had a ton of drops but he played with a fucked up wrist. Hes supposed to have surgery on it. Have no idea how these guys play through that shit. It would have most people in agony.
That is SO FUCKING WRONG.
I did laugh though. Felt al ittle bad about it. I like RGIII.

In the post game conference shanny did say rg3 told him he guaranteed him he was hurt but not injured. I understand he's the coach but at that time he was also probably thinking about the defense, special teams, x's and o's, on top of a hundred other things. Looking back he made the wrong decision, but it wasn't so far fetched for him to believe in rg3.
Blaming him at this point doesn't help rg3 recover any faster. Also killing shanny kills all chemistry this redskins team do have when rg3 does comeback. Hell it might even piss rg3 off is shanny is his dude, and you have no clue how he would get along with a new coach.

I'm trying to strategically scroll to avoid looking at that picture but you guys are making it tough with the constant quoting. That stuff makes me queasy, haha.

I know Denver is good but it's surprising to see so many people everywhere not giving the Ravens any chance. I thought teams usually fare better in a playoff rematch?
Yeah the nfl culture about injuries is pretty messed up.

Pretty sure RG3 is infatuated with the Shannahans. No matter what happens, he isn't going to let anything happen to their positions.
Well, otherwise he'd be a Cutler!

I think the real Thugs are in this thread, with your RG3 pics/ jokes. Straight thuggery, the worst kind.
Even with that culture I don't buy that it's normal. I can recall seeing Ben, rivers and now rg3 do it. 95% of the time good coaches bench their ass in these situations.
i don't buy all of this falling on the coach. When you are set to make maybe $100 million in your NFL career which most people would tell you will last 10 years, I'm not going in the game if I think I might put my future at stake. Peeps gotta stop being so hypocritical. RG3 is not some 13 year old from a Disney movie saying put me in coach. Aint nobody making a grown man do something he is not sure of. They rolled the dice and lost, that's what happens. He just needs to heal up, and realize if they continue this will make the whole team stronger.

I'm shocked if people value RG3's opinion on the Shanahans. He's a 22 year old rookie QB not a 30+ year old veteran. Much older and more experienced people need to make the call on the fate of the coach.
The coaching and medical staff can't simply shrug and say "Well RG3 said he was fine!"

He sure as hell did not look fine. The guy went from being one of the most accurate QBs in the NFL to spraying the ball all over the place because he could not plant on his right leg. It was obvious to everyone watching that he should have been pulled in the second quarter because of injury AND performance concerns.
but what about the Children man. The children!

These RGIII jokes are a bit much for me :/
too soon
If he comes back healthy then maybe... but the shit just happened yesterday. I think they are in bad taste.
inb4 "lolol shake is a pussy!!!!"

This is so ridiculous.
Football players do not do whats best for them, they do whats best for the team. They will shrug off concussions, they will shrug off injuries that they can play through because nobody wants to be the next Jay Cutler, a joke around the league.
It should have never been RG3's call. It shouldn't have been Shanahan's call either. You have a trained medical staff for the reason, if the stuff involving Andrews is true then Shanahan honestly has to be fired.
Like that hobbled run to the side.

Francesssa's been killing the people ripping Shanahan. He's saying that if they'd lost & RGIII said he could play, Shanny probably gets fired.
Francesa is in solid troll form today.
It was a no-win situation for shanahan. If he played the backups and lost its his fault. If he put RGIII in there its his fault. He couldnt win. but thats why he gets paid big bucks to coach an NFL team. He has to take the criticism even if it was unavoidable. Even if it isnt his fault RGIII got injured in the first place.
I think that's actually the biggest point about this. I don't give a single fuck about RGIII health, or what address to send the flowers to. I'd be pissed that you didn't start the perfectly healthy player who has proven he can win with your team.
Shannahan's job was safe, win or lose. That's for the other conversation going on.
Kind of like the Natinals ran everyone out of town when they lost in the playoffs? Sure, people ripped them and begged them to play Strasburg, but they stuck to their guns. If you manage the team like a fan, you're soon to be a fan.
"We removed RG3 from the game after Dr. James Andrews said that there was a possibility of his weakened knee leading to more damage. We felt it was the prudent thing to do." I'm pretty sure everyone would have been fine with that.
Then be like me and play chess bro. I want to make sure you realize that I think the health of a player is the most important thing. And that if it was up to me no football player should ever play hurt. But man, you need to realize these players just like F1 drivers, possess a skill and face risks that allows them to make 100 times the monthly pay we make. Skill+Risk=$$$
A cop goes to work with different parameters then let's say a teacher or landscaper. Same with a football player, they took a risk bro. They both did. You can't change the playing hurt mentality that's been in the game for over 50 years overnight.
You don't coach to avoid criticism. You are paid to be a leader.

When you are young and dumb you think you are invincible. Just look back at your younger years and all the dumb shit you used to do. You dont have the common sense yet to know when to call it a day - add to that that he is a rookie in a "grown ass man tough mans league". The motivation for him to play hurt and win the approval of his teammates is high. He won't take himself out of the game cause it makes him look weak(fair or not). The coach needs to bite the bullet on this one and protect his franchises future.
