He only cares about himself. RG3 really could be damaged

That was a DA mistake on his part. Cousins should have been brought in and the Skins would have won the gaem. RG3′s health must not mean much to Shanahan.

If he had finished the game and had won, everyone would be praising the decision and calling him the world’s greatest! lol, you guys crack me up. He’ll be fine, and it will make for all the more dramatics next year with “comeback from rehab” talk and such. Relax people, he will be fine.

It was clear from the 2nd quarter on that RG3 was hurt and couldn’t do much of anything. A stupid and stubborn decision by Shanny and it could end up costing RG3 his career. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Oh yeah cause Snyder would never compromise someone’s health to win a few games…lol. Nah not the Cap violator well known bad guy Snyder. The guy who sued and tried to put out of business a small paper cause it criticized him. Please Florio gives us a break, Snyder is right there wthe rest of the Skins mgt. who would put winning a few games over the health of a player.

By CHEATING in a blatant attempt to slow down Seattle’s fast defense, they wound up not only injuring our kicker and top pass rusher, but may have ruined the career of their own #2 draft pick star QBotF.

Shanahan allowing RG3 to keep playing is but a part of a much bigger scandal here, imo. There is ZERO excuse for any NFL team not to have a minimum standard of playing surface, especially when the weather was both dry and mild temps. Seattle’s field is always in top condition and gets rained on constantly and is never muddy or torn up. This is a travesty.

How surprisingly well he played when he brought them back from a two-touchdown deficit, and played the game he started probably has a lot to do with why RGIII didn’t want to risk him burning up the playoffs and keeping the starting job even when RGIII knew he was in pretty bad shape.

Had any of about 20 other teams drafted Cousins he just may have upstaged our third-round jackpot by earning the starting job coming out of the fourth round.

Hold your heads up, Skins fans, you’ve got a strong team here and you’ll be in the post season many times over the next decade.

Had it not been for Shanahan gambling with RGIII’s career it could easily be us heading home for the year.
Looking forward to playing you guys in the post season many times in coming years.

I realize he is competitive, but I blame him as much as Shanahan for staying in the game. For some reason, it’s like he thinks he’s the only reason the Skins can win.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out a lot of next season, just like at Baylor when Nick Florence had to fill in for him before his Heisman season. Worked out ok for both guys, I suppose, but a painful way to do it.

RG3 wasnt allowed to leave anyway even if he was hurt. Remember when Cutler left cause he was hurt? Why would this have been any different?
=================================
The difference is that idiots love to bash Jay Cutler no matter what he does.
They have been told that “This is the guy you need to hate” by sports T.V. shows and certain Internet sites. *cough*
RGIII on the other has been anointed as the greatest QB ever and not only is he NOT a quitter but it is all the coaches fault that he was hurt.

Davis was asked to go in for ONE PLAY AS A DECOY. He wasn’t asked to run the ball or block.

For your sake I hope he calls RG3 needs to call Adrian Peterson.

I mean, what would we all be saying if Adrian Peterson got hurt in Sept. Shouldn’t the Vikes have held AD back a few weeks too fully heal? Athletes play hurt. It’s a roll of the dice. Let’s hold off a bit and see how RG3 is in a few weeks. He’s got all winter to heal. The Vikings risked the entire season.

The Shanahans have been lauded as innovators all year when instead they were risking RG3′s long term career for short term chance at a few more wins. Is anyone shocked that his season ended on the bench due to an injury?

Same story this week, only it got EVEN more obvious in the first quarter — as RG3 was LIMPING everywhere. What kind of coach fails to appreciate that RG3′s effectiveness was severely compromised after coming up limping early in the game – AND – that he was highly susceptible to catastrophic injury.

Shanahan blew it. Bad.

But they definitely should have put Cousins in after the 14-0 lead. Oh well…

5th, Pete Carroll isn’t supposed to dominate the NFL.

NFL conventional wisdom dies a painful death.

Funny think is if he can make a full recovery RG3 is the only QB in the league that could operate Kelly’s wacky offense. Appropriately located in the city that wastes more money thanks to our elected officials, Snyder spends it like it’s OPM (other peoples money). Oh that’s right it is. The fans that support his penchant for throwing good money after bad on the wrong free agents and over matched coaches. Thank God I am not one of them.

Down only by 7, docs saying he’s not going to do permanent damage, and your qb saying he can do it, you gotta leave your star qb in! What kind of a lack of trust is that if coach pulls his star qb? This is a moronic viewpoint, rg3 as a pocket passer is way better than a Kirk cousins as a pocket passer!!!
