Monday Morning Quarterbacks

RGIII re-injured his knee last night on a simple play of reaching down for a poorly snapped ball.

All I'm reading by sports pundits this morning are that "Griffen should have never been in there," Or, it was a mistake playing Griffen last night."

Huh?

Where were these same guys when Griffen  had a concussion earlier this year and then played and killed the Vikings in his best game of the season THE VERY NEXT WEEKEND.

Where were these guys the last TWO weeks when Griffen was playing on a MORE hobbled knee, winning games and getting the Redskins into the playoffs?

Griffen was actually playing much better last night and his knee was looking almost normal, especially in the first half. He tweaked it on a running play in third and then it and he conked out with a little less than 7 minutes left in the game with that terrible twisting attempt at the fumble pick-up.

I actually AGREE that he shouldn't have been in there last night, but I've been saying the same exact thing since he hurt his knee 5 weeks ago. Once the decision was MADE to let him play three weeks ago, and no one COMPLAINED, they lost their right to complain about what happened LAST night.

How bad is the knee? No MRI has been done yet so it could be anything from another sprain to something as horrible as what happened to AD last season.

What REALLY bothers me is that these SAME fans and sports writers were furious that the WASHINGTON Nationals shut down their ace, Stephen Strasburg last season BEFORE the playoffs to protect his recently repaired shoulder. Many think that move cost the Nationals a chance at a World Series title.

You can't have it both ways. One team was extra cautious. The other team played a QB who was supposedly cleared to play.

I would always ere on the side of caution. Careers are way more important than individual games. But if others agree with me on that THEY should have said something earlier. Now you just come across as an idiotic Monday Morning quarterback who can make the OBVIOUS call.

That's like Custer's friends saying he shouldn't have fought the battle at Little Big Horn after they went to his funeral.

Yeah, we all know that now.
