Woz Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I realize it's somewhat relevant, but let's just park the Griffin discussion. Yes, I realize I opened it back up in the other thread; I kind of regret that. But let's not do it again. It was a debacle all the way around.

Everything I've ever read was that he was cleared by Andrews to return to the game. https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1811689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, Shanahan despised Dr. Andrews being on the sidelines and just ignored he was there. Basically, Shanahan never consulted the training staff or Dr Andrews. RG3 ran up to him said he wanted to go back in and Shanahan sent him out there. The HC didn’t protect his QB from getting further injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this changes what I've said, nor that you are 100% wrong in blaming any part of Griffin's injury on Dr. Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's things like this that are why I'm calling for: EVERYTHING needs to be evaluated with new eyes. Usually, the players have their own doctors handle it, or the league shares doctors who have different specialties. It's not really something that the Redskins specifically chose. I highly doubt that Alex Smith had much say in his surgeons for the first operation, much less the Redskins franchise themselves. I will say that a professional athlete that is the caliber of Alex Smith, as well as the severity of his injury, likely gets the heads of multiple departments called into that hospital and put to work on his case immediately. So he had the best care that the hospital could provide, or pretty close to it. I think we're grasping for straws with the infection issue here. It literally can happen to anyone.

It’s because people want to blame the Redskins front office for every little thing even if there’s no there there... I mean, I get not liking Bruce Allen - I hate him too - but some things are out of his and Dan’s control. Guice & Smith getting an infection at a hospital would certainly be one of those things.

Woz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If it was bad luck, so be it. However, a top to bottom review would still be wise to make sure that all it was is "bad luck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
