Robert Griffin III might be a very dynamic player and have a brilliant future in the NFL, but his injury in Sunday's season ending loss shows the vulnerability of a running quarterback.
His MRI revealed a partially torn LCL. There could be some damage to his ACL, but that won't be known until he has surgery.
He now joins the list of running quarterbacks such as Michael Vick who performed so well throwing and running with the ball, but in the end, got injured. Griffin already dealt with a torn ACL back in 2009. Another knee injury isn't good for the rookie quarterback.
The Redskins will now hold their breath until the final determination is made on the extent of his problem. No matter what happens, it's just another example of what can go wrong with a quarterback who likes to run. It works great in college, but certainly has its problems in the NFL.
