Should Edelman have been taken out for a concussion?
 

An interesting question....
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...eared-to-play/
My first instinct is "no" because I want the best players on the field in the Super Bowl.

It also makes my blood boil that we had multiple Chiefs pulled from the playoff game against Indy for symptoms that seemed much less severe.

In either event, there seems to be a pretty inconsistent protocol applied here. The NFL and NFLPA really need to re-evaluate this whole concussion protocol. For consistency sake, Edelman should have been booted but given how effective he still played, it's a good thing he wasn't.

Wait, if he was cleared to play, then what's the discussion? Flowers and Charles weren't cleared to play so how are their situations similar?

When he got hit I instantly could see he was dazed as shit, even when he missed the TD reception at the end of the drive you could tell he wasn't the same. Next drive he looked much better.

Yes, Avril had to leave

Last year jamaaal and others on KC had to leave

**** yes he was knocked

I said it in the game thread

nope, i mean heck the guy came back and tore shit up.

The dude called Seattle "St. Louis" after the game was over.

The league is a joke

Reportedly, Avril failed his concussion test. Reportedly, Edelman passed his.


/thread

I said it before, if ANYONE tries to take Jamaal out of a playoff game ever again, I want to see him pull a ****ing gun.

Is there ANYTHING Patriots you won't overlook.

Please tell me you aren't on the Aaron Hernandez jury.

I hope in 10 years, Edelman is drooling in his soup and you're the one who has to get his orange juice for him every time he rings the bell.

And corrected himself immediately. Slip of the tongue. It happen.

The guy who does the concussion test is an independent neurologist. Not anyone on the Patriots staff.

:facepalm:

There needs to be a moratorium on everything Patriots here.

Edelman should have been MVP.

Shiny new chair at Brigham and Women's I'm certain.
