I feel awful for RGIII. He shouldn't have been out there

Lots of questions coming for Mike Shanahan and Dr. Andrews after watching this. Boy are they going to be raked over. #playingwithfire

@7BOOMERESIASON RG3 is a grown man. He's not a Pop Warner kid. All coach and doctor can do is give RG3 their opinion and let him decide.

@Kah919 tell that to the over 3000 ex players suing the NFL. Coaches have to protect players from themselves.

Boomer Esiason ‏@7BOOMERESIASON RGIII Shouldn't be playing. Aikman is right on.

Derrick Ward ‏@DerrickWard32
Mike Shanahan should be fired for letting RG3 play today. Bottom line. You risk tearing his knee up to try to win and u see he isn't mobile


Not every coach or player is in agreement here. In my opinion, the first instinct is for many to circle the wagons around one of their own. But Shanahan is in deep after this.

This completely blows away the small controversy we had in Cleveland when Colt McCoy was reentered after a concussion.

All of those on FOX and ESPN are in agreement as I stated. I also heard Mark Schlereth on ESPN this morning say the same thing. Playing through injuries in the NFL is part of the culture. You and I may not like it, but players have been doing it for decades. When and if a player doesn't, he can lose his job, like the most obvious, Alex Smith, of the 49s this season.
