I'd argue that concussion protocol can make playoff games even more dangerous. We saw with bountygate what lengths a team will go to to knock a player out. What incentive does a DC have to not coach dirty football they can get away with? It's easy to play super dirty without risk of targeting.
Maybe Wentz didn't want to go back in. We know that Jamaal Charles was super pissed years ago that he couldn't. What say you... Is this an nfl rule that needs to be re-thought?

I agree. I'm a fan of choice and free will. It won't happen, but it would be interesting if players were given an option to sign a ironclad waiver in situations like this to be able to keep playing or not.
But it will never happen, it is a PR nightmare in our recent incredibly sympathetic society.
