A person familiar with the situation says Robert Griffin III will have surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in his right knee.
The person said Griffin has a torn lateral collateral ligament and that the surgery will also determine whether he also has damaged the ACL.

Skins should trade him while folks still think he is good. If a QB gets hurt several times in his first season nowadays when basically the QBs in the NFL are playing touch football, he ain’t gonna last.

and almost NONE about the team that WON THE GAME, i.e., Seattle
Trust me, the Seahawks love being the quiet underdog - no pressure at all. Let the media shove their cameras in someone else's face.

Yes. I was for Seattle all the way but my heart went out to RGlll. He was in way to long and not worth it for the game. Painful to watch. I was bitchin’ and whinin’ long before his knee completely caved that if I was his Mother or girlfriend I would be furious that he was still out there.

To: Perdogg
If a guy like that will be fine in 9-12 months then I’ll be fine.
Had shoulder surgery 4 months ago and still can’t lift my arm straigh out, in front of me, much past my collar bone.
To the side, skip it. Won’t go.
Just gotta hang in there...

Both of them great QBs, but the fact that both of them played their best years for the same team ought to tell you something. Montana was hardly a scrambler by QB standards, using his mobility mainly to buy time in the pocket rather than run downfield.
In Montana's case, he wasn't even "highly touted" at all. I believe he was a third-round draft pick out of Notre Dame in 1979.
In Young's case, he was "highly touted" but never got any traction early in his career -- first in the USFL, then with the lowly Tampa Bay Bucs in the NFL where he was a mediocre QB at best by any statistical measure (to the point where Tampa Bay drafted Vinny Testaverde in 1987 and traded Young away).

It looked like it was placed around the calf, not the knee.
Actually, if you look closely, you can see that it is tucked up under his pants so the only visible part is on his calf, but you can see two round disks on either side of his knee. It's probably a Breg knee brace similar to this.

Were you prescribed physical therapy? I highly recommend it. We have about 4 or 5 PT outfits that sprang up in our community over the past 10 years. Highly competitive market that results in outstanding treatment of patients. The one we used most recently was awesome.

It is a well-known sign that an argument has been lost when one of the participants has to resort to ad hominem attacks. Hope you have a better day today......

Yep. I have three PT sessions each week at the doctors office and 2-3 additional sessions with a chiropractor.
It takes time and o remain optimistic.
Additionally I perform the PT a home.

he seems like a solid individualGo to wiki and read his bio. You'll understand in short order why black racists can't stand the guy. It's a really interesting read.

If a QB gets hurt several times in his first season nowadays when basically the QBs in the NFL are playing touch football, he aint gonna last. At least there will be less running, and now they can tee off on passing downs.
