I really hope we're making the right decision with Daryl. As a Gamecock fan, I'm very familiar with Corey Robinson. He can hold down the RT spot temporarily unless he's up against an elite pass rusher. I don't think we need Daryl to beat the Cowboys. 

The best that you can hope for is that any decision that is made is done so based on available information (the world as it is) and not based on the world as you want it to be.

Ok. No sh*t, captian obvious.

I hope we're not rushing Williams back because the last 3 games of the season is very critical as they are all division games.

Wrong, Captain Oblivious. If that was so obvious the world would a much better place.

i just wonder to what extent he's been "cleared"

im concerned that rivera thinks he's doing him a favor by letting him play since this is obviously a very important year for williams. im also concerned that the staff is letting the sad state of the line influence this decision. part of being a coach is protecting players from themselves and it's going to be terrible if williams further injures his knee and has his career derailed.

There is no extent to which he's fully cleared.  There are stages up to that point, but once the doctors fully clears you to play, they are saying you are ready (from a health standpoint) to play.

Any risk in the decision really resides with the doctors since they are the ones that say whether or not he's healthy enough.  The coaches can only base their decision of the doctor's recommendation.  Now, to be fair to the doctors, much of their evaluation is based on what Williams tells them.  They can make sure the injury is structurally stable, but they rely on the patient to tell them is there is any soreness or problems. 

So, in that regard, I hope that Williams isn't ignoring warning signs he is feeling in order to get back out there and earn a big contract this offseason.

What the hell are you talking about? This is a football message board where people share their thoughts and feelings about football. Its a given you have to trust the experts/people in charge to ultimately make the best personnel decisions.  I gave my opinion. If you don't like it, stfu and move on.

If I'm not mistaken, Williams is only slightly ahead of schedule. He has been recoving close to 6 weeks and that's the timetable for recovery for that kind of injury. I'm not a doctor but I trust the training staff knows not to jeopardize his career if he isn't ready.

this thread hurts. they should have sat. Would rather have taken the L than loose these two for the season.
