Did not know that both of his parents retired from the military. His dad was very instrumental in his success from such a young age.

I heard in a commercial that his parents were Military so I googled it and ran across a very very good article on him and his parents.

It makes a lot of sense to me why he's so good in his interviews... I have been one of his most vocal critics on this forum, and I thought that his handlers were feeding him the right things to say. Boy was I wrong! Not only that, but the article has now made me a fan of RG3. Who woulda thought that??

I encourage anyone who's not familiar with his story to read the article. Ill be pulling for him in the future, except when he plays the Panthers of course.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
