RG3 "Way Ahead of Schedule" in Rehabbing Injury

I'm pulling for him... I've been a RG3 fan since his sophomore year at Baylor... Well, minus the week we played them last year, but other than that, I'm pulling for him.

Dr. Andrews compares him to Adrian Peterson and Bo Jackson, lol. Good to hear.

Robert Griffin III's recovery from knee surgery has been "unbelievable," Dr. James Andrews told ESPN's Stephania Bell on Friday.

"I've been real mum on talking too much about RG III. He wants his recovery to be fairly private, but I can tell you he's way ahead of schedule. His recovery has been unbelievable so far," Andrews told ESPN.

"RG III is one those superhumans. First patient I ever had like that was Bo Jackson. And recently I, of course, had Adrian Peterson, who is also superhuman. They have an unbelievable ability to recover, where as a normal human being may not be able to recover."

Andrews, who performed surgery to repair two of Griffin's knee ligaments on Jan. 9, was speaking to ESPN for an upcoming feature story on South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, who is rehabbing with Griffin to prepare for the NFL draft after also having knee surgery.

Griffin suffered a sprained LCL in Washington's Week 14 win against the Baltimore Ravens, but returned two games later. He then tore his LCL and ACL in a first-round playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

At the NFL's owners meetings last week, coach Mike Shanahan wouldn't put a timetable on Griffin's recovery.

"For me to tell you anything at this time is kind of ludicrous," Shanahan said Thursday. "All I can tell you, though, is when you've got a guy who's got the flexibility that he has, he's got the strength, he's got the desire to be the best at what he does, usually good things happen.

"He's in there every day. He's working out six, eight hours a day. He's got great strength and great flexibility, and that gives him a chance to hopefully be ready for the season, right? I don't know."

Griffin won The Associated Press 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award after setting the NFL record for best passer rating by a rookie quarterback and leading Washington to its first NFC East title in 13 years.

Everyone is always ahead of schedule. Then they get back and get hurt again. AP was the exception. Thomas Davis is the cautionary tale.

Basally this. A set back can happen at anytime, so while it is good news, one should always proceed with caution with this type of injury.

agreed.

if they want to push him, fine by me. cuts down on the competition.

just remember that they said he was fine when he went back out on the field in that last game when it was obvious he wasn't.

these guys (shanny and rg3) aren't really the most honest in looking at the situation. they are going to push him to return quicker than he should just like they did last year. and dr. andrews didn't appear to help the situation either.

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
