Tua isn't equipped to handle the pounding an NFL QB takes. Too bad for him and Dolphin fans.

So the thing I don't understand how they have an "unaffiliated" doctor on the sidelines.
Mother****er surely ain't volunteering to protect a bunch of billionaires. Home State Health ain't covering it Who's paying him then? The NFL? okay... |

Time to stop claiming they work for the NFL so it’s rigged. Dude obviously ****ed up. Not a conspiracy theory after all. Weird. |
They found their fall guy.
It's not like a dozen people didn't know. |

I don’t think it was rigged, just that someone ****ed up. Not sure what the Dolphins coach is supposed to do after he is told Tua can play. |

I mean the team should have had enough sense to step in but new coach new staff etc…I think it was just a series of mistakes really. Nothing to do with money etc….you don’t mortgage a season on a week 3 or 4 game. |

This is a no go sign that should have immediately disqualified Tua from the game, regardless of ANY findings afterward. When Mahomes got choked out against the Browns, as soon as he wobbled and fell, he was done. This should have taken place with Tua, and for whatever reason, it didn't. |
So he's all but confirmed to have had a concussion Sunday and got what we can all assume is a much worse second concussion Thursday. Really hope his life isn't significantly impacted moving forward.

So they are independent of the team. But sure, somebody is still paying them, but they get paid whether they clear a player or not. What's the alternative? Base the clearance on tweets from doctors watching the game on TV? :shrug: |

The other thing I read, is that if you are in the protocol, it takes 5 steps, and each step takes a day. Sunday to Thursday is not enough time to clear the protocol, so it seems like he was not in the protocol after Thursdays game
I guess that makes since, because how can he return to the game and then enter the protocol. It looks even worse now, though. |

There is no such thing. The NFLPA who pays these doctors ARE the affiliation. And don't think the NFLPA isn't just a dog and pony show to keep the thing looking like it's on the up and up. |
Quote:
The doc just got fired by the NFLPA if that doesn’t tell you something don’t call other people stupid. |
What about the Dolphin coaching staff? Any idiot could see the kid wasn't right
|
So apparently gross motor instability does not require entry into the concussion protocol if the team/independent doctors determine that the instability was orthopedic.
Convenient. |
No one wants to talk about the UNFLAGGED belly-to-back suplex that CAUSED this injury?
I mean, we could legitimately be talking about "Will Travis Kelce ever play again" after Derwin James did the same shit without getting a flag. And just like Tua, Kelce was the ballcarrier, so it's not like "they missed it", because if you're not watching the ballcarrier, WTF are you looking at? How'd you blow the play dead? **** the NFL. **** them in their stupid ****ing asses. They truly are clown shoes. |
Quote:
Dude, the doctor is a fall guy. The NFL wants no blowback from this. So how convenient. |
NBC nightly news said brain stem injury. If even remotely true he needs an injury settlement of a full contract payout. Banned for life, too risky

Doesn't matter that Bridgewater may be the better QB for the team. They wanted Tua in the rematch with Burrow. And they got it. I guess. |

As mentioned, dehydration could be another. It's such a phantom thing, like holding, they could conceivably call it at any time. The announcers would be all "well, we don't see it" but it doesn't matter, because "protocol, player safety" when the reality is that we've seen some pretty egregious noncalls on severe plays, one involving our own HoF TE and other probably ending the career of Tua. Bother egregious...both seen by the officals...neither one flagged. THAT is an issue. |

In the Tua case, they said it was from a “back injury”. These exceptions are going away it seems. It still needs to start with an impact to the head. |
It's pretty well known that the current Dolphins coaching staff doesn't want Tua. Now that he has had two concussions within five days, the recovery time is months instead of weeks and perhaps never with a brain stem injury.
Seems very convenient... We trust experts to give us additional information, that doesn't mean we blindly trust them when we see something that appears to conflict with that information. |
Concussion challenges by opposing teams could be like lightning delays
|
Give them a standing-eight-count and if the player wants to play, let them play. If the coach wants to pull them because he's confident that the backup will provide a better chance to win, or is concerned for the possible longer term loss of a player, then the coach can pull them.

What QB gives the Dolphins the best chance to win? Based on Thursday, it looks to be Bridgewater. The Dolphins looked more efficient AND Bridgewater has a better arm. Who sells more tickets/jerseys, but most importantly, who is the better CHARACTER that will generate more casual viewers? It's Tua. And that's why he was rushed back so quickly. Had nothing to do with the Dolphins trying to win games. |

So this is interesting.
Bucs coach said Cam Brate came to the sideline complaining about his shoulder after being hit in the head. They routed him to the team docs, NOT the independent neurologist. Why? Because “you can’t see the neurologist if you didn’t hurt your head”. In this case, he played more snaps before somebody finally realized maybe he should be examined, which happened at halftime. He never came back in the game. |
