How bout them skins?

[G.Irish]

I agree 100%, and that was my opinion in the offseason, that I didnt want to see RG3 in a game until week 9 or 10 at the earliest.

But the problem is that he has been 'cleared' by the doctors, he says he is 100% and has no obvious physical limp, but most importantly he is already playing.

how do you un-ring that bell and say "just kidding he actually isnt all the way healed yet oh hi kirk come on in and play."

I totally agree, they should not have started him in week 1 in the first place. Don't know if they were buying into the "All in for Week One" hype or if they were just greedy, or even cowardly. RG3 is gonna say he's 100%, but you can't trust his word now. He said he was fine in the Seahawks game.

Now it's one of those tough decision points. To be a champion sometimes you've got to make the right long term decision even if the fans, the press, and the player (or players) will be pissed at you. The Skins will look bad if they pull RG3 now, but no one will complain when you get the ring(s).

The Bulls had a similar situation when Michael Jordan broke his foot. He wanted to come back earlier than they brought him back, then when they let him play, they limited his minutes. One of the doctors said he was ready to play, another one didn't. In the end the GM took the conservative route. Who knows if he would've been fine if they brought him back early, but the lesson is that they went on to win 6 championships with him.
