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. |

Pats get away with everything. They keep silent on purpose.

No. Patriots players with the flu still played in one SB. This time Tom Brady was fighting a cold, which is not the same magnitude. But they're a mentally tough team for a reason.

Again, I'm in favor of letting players decide. But I also remember it didn't take much for doctors to yank our chiefs off the field. The bigger issue to me continues to be that this concussion issue is getting worse, and it matters because it bothers me when good players get taken off the field. |

You are pathetic. I have never even seen a Lil Chuefy eat as much of his team's ass as you do.

If they players know the risks of playing and they still play the game ( not just this situation) then it's on them.

I remember Jeff Hostetler playing the game of his life and winning a Super Bowl when he was knocked so silly he didn't even react to the smelling salts they shoved in his face.
Was it safe? Probably not. Was it worth it? I guess we should ask him. |
