Im still confused how Cassel got a concussion, first off nobody even touched his head on the hit, and then he tried to get up and he holds his shoulder

I'd like to see that quote.

Last I heard, Crennel said he would have to be evaluated. I haven't heard anything more than that.

Again, no clue who made the initial call on his concussion.

So... Cassel cannot return until he has been cleared by a third party? He's done then.

Right. Thanks, Mr. Pilsner. I understand that.

What I am asking is this; where is the quote that Cassel has been diagnosed with a concussion? The quote from the doctor or a representative of said doctor. Or a nurse. Or a vet. Or some guy with a pair of pliers and a flashlight.

When a player starts acting concussed, the next step is to get him in front of a trainer to be evaluated. The step after that is a diagnosis by a physician.

I don't think people are saying the Chiefs are making it up. I think people are saying Cassel got rattled, came off the field, and just embellished his injury because he's as ****ing done with the fans as they are with him. It's not like the Chiefs are saying that they gave him a CT-Scan and verified the concussion.

Oh, and yeah... Patriots Way is all about being up front on injury reports. They NEVER EVER blur the truth on those...

then next possession he took himself out of the game with a "concussion"

- He wasn't hit in the head
- His head didn't hit the ground (not hard at all)
- He landed on his ass
- Oh yeah...it wasn't even a hard hit.

Same kinda shit Damon Huard did in 2007

So, there is no substantial proof that Cassel had a concussion? Thanks for making my point.

His head hit the ****ing ground.

How many times does it have to be said?

Still no proof? Well, I'll be damned. Surely, it doesn't take this long for an independent neurologist to verify a concussion.

COchief · 10-10-2012, 03:27 PM

Also, if Cassel was supposedly concussed (magically without anything touching his head apparently) why did he act like he was knocked out (nothing on his body moves) except his arm immediately starts flailing around the second he's on the ground. I had a concussion when I was 17 due to my head hitting (usually a critical part of getting a "concussion") directly on the ice when I was snowboarding, I was completely out and didn't move a muscle for at least a full minute. You don't have one body part only flail around and the rest of your body stay completely motionless.

No it didn't. Go look at the mic'd up Ravens thread. It has another angle. His head never touched the ground.

I was mistaken. The independent neurologists are only used to clear players to come back to practice.

The camera pans away just as his head hit the ground.

Yes, it hit the ground.

Your head doesn't need to have direct impact for you to have a concussion.
