Report is LCL partial tear and POSSIBLY partial ACL tear. It seems that the reason he is going to see Andrews is that they have are having difficulty seeing if anything is wrong with his ACL due to his ACL injury from 2009 at Baylor.

They don't know how severe it is due to the previous ACL injury. He has 2 screws and a rubber band so I guess that's where James Andrews comes in on how to proceed with surgery/rehab, etc.

I heard that as well. That doesn't sound good.

Not at all. I'm expecting real bad news. The one good thing is he never screamed in pain like peterson or derrick rose and kept coming back so that would make you think it's only partial but you never know.

Maybe Andrews tells him it will require reconstructing that same knee.

Really sounds bad, but maybe he will learn from this. He's a warrior and he feels invincible sometimes like all the super hero action figures in his locker room.

Maybe this will help him realize he is a very talented pocket passer and there is no need to gamble like Vick and Vince young. Slide, slide, slide. Use your rocket arm, accuracy, vision and great understanding of what defenses are
doing. Sad thing is he doesnt need to be a running qb

Speaking of shanny, they skins are rolling the Seabags, 14-0 in the 1st quarter. Your distraction didn't work Andrew.

True. However, there was that one play where TD came to the sideline and said he couldn't see and Shanny said that's ok, you don't need to see on this play and sent him back in.

Do you think he might start the season on the PUP though?

I think this sorta thing is kinda why the NFL has geared itself towards pocket passers and throwing QB's more so then QB's who want to run. Not saying some of these guys that can run don't have talent passing because they do. But if you run, at this level, you're gonna take punishment. There's a difference between guys who play QB that have some wheels and escape now and then to gain positive yards. And then there are the QB's where you call run plays for them. That's not what I would be doing at the NFL level. And what the hell is Wilson doing sprinting down field several times trying to throw blocks. Sounds great and all until you get layed out one time.


I just think the more times a QB is running downfield, whether it's a designed run, a scramble or if you're like Wilson, trying to block, bad things are eventually going to happen.

Anything is possible. Knowing him though, he will be back very quick. I think his Baylor torn acl injury recovery time was 4 months.

I remember on that play he was screaming like Peterson was.

What is dicey to me is what is worse case scenario given he already blew that knee out.

But I won't doubt that he will be ready because he's just that type of guy. Warriors like Peterson, Rose and griffin HATE not playing and they essentially are hardcore about getting back ASAP

Agree with everything you said. RGIII and Wilson need to realize they are great pocket passers and pick their spots.

Not sold yet on kaepernick; sometimes his passes are good and sometimes he looks like young, vick and tebow
