What else would cause disorientation and stumbling like paralysis? Could a pinched nerve do that or something with the spinal cord? If it's not a concussion then it seems to me he needs some extensive testing to see what's going on.

It's miraculous that you manage to tread the RedDawg waters without actually being RedDawg.

Impressive, really.

Would the hospital have released him without doing a cat scan or something?

I don't Belize I will.

I wish for the way i feel tua would retire. I don't like the reality that one more will probably effect him for life

Tua look like a gay Asian, Dolphins look like Dahmer and the NFL look like the police

100% this. There's no way the staff should let him play that Thursday night game after what happened on Sunday.

Why? Player passed the protocol and players play with injuries all the time. Independent Dr passed him and the player wanted to play. Explain to me why the coaching staff would go against players' wishes who have been cleared by an independent doctor.

Hate to agree with srvy, but if a guy is medically cleared, well...he's medically cleared. What people at home think about his condition is kind of irrelevant. If the team is not able to trust medical professionals who are experts on the issue in question, then what's the point of any of this?

If you're not going to trust expert doctors to clear a guy, then you're pretty much just advocating for a rule that says if we see your head hit the ground, you're out for that game and the next, end of story.

Do we actually have confirmation that he passed the concussion protocol, or is it possible that he never entered the concussion protocol?

Hey, these gladiators are there to entertain us, they are part of an entertainment industry, let's make no mistake, it's all about what you can do for me "now", nothing else. And perhaps he doesn't want to be an Eric Berry? :shrug:

Agree. I don’t really blame “The Dolphins” here.

I've always wondered just how independent you can be when you are paid by the people you are supposed to be independent of?

The injury to Mahomes in the playoff game didn't look very severe at the time however based on what we saw, he was injured. He was wobbly and unsteady. Later, he said he was fine to go back in however the Chiefs coaching staff would not put him in. And this was in a playoff game.

The lack of concern over Tua's health is alarming to me. The coach said something to the effect later of: He's fine, it was just a concussion... WTF?

Business don't care about the employees... They are raw materials to be used up and replaced. After all, it's not really your job, it's theirs. You are just filling it for now.

So Dr Chao diagnosed him and then let him on the field? If the doctor you're quoting didn't actually examine him, then their opinion is irrelevant.

he's going to end up getting ****in paralyzed on the field
