I also don't like using the past and how people "got by" as an argument for why we should keep doing things that way. If you have better information than you did in the past, use it. |

Zilla needs to be in the concussion protocol.

Whatever, what I'm saying is stuff most people were chirping about for pages and pages after the chiefs/Colts and chiefs/titans playoff games. A lot of these opinions have changed because it wasn't our team. Most people here agree that there's a very real problem of Tonya harding it without any real repercussions. I appreciate the discussion because obviously the fix isn't easy... Maybe not even possible. That's why we're talking about it.

Brett has a photographic memory, and apparently doesn't remember an entire season due to concussions.

If you make a hit that looks intentional that ends with the other player winding up in the protocol: you're off the field as long as that player is off the field.

And there's a difference between a QB getting hit/shoved late and intentionally trying to concuss them like you're alleging. |

not saying that was an intentional shot to the head but he def. dipped his shoulder down and smacked him in the back of the head. |

On the surface, sure sounds logical. Until people start throwing undrafted 3rd string scrubs at drew brees.

Of course players aren't intentionally punching QBs in the head are hitting them with anvils and hammers (though Garrett came close). That's not what happened with Brett Favre during Bountygate either. You have a bit of a strange position in defending concussion protocol, while believing that behaviors that contribute to concussions are just a part of football. Do players purposefully try to put players into concussion? I don't know about that. Do players hit with the intent of making it hurt as much as possible? Definitely. Do they toe the line as much as they can legally get away with? Definitely, some teams and players much more than others. Do they do it with intent to injure - as we learned in Bountygate, lots of teams (not just the Saints) were.
