Should Edelman have been taken out for a concussion?

JFC, are you really in need of the big crayons??? No one is questioning if he had a concussion. They are questioning the protocol of evaluation.

In other words, why did the car full of girls I was just at the club with, and who had been drinking like bitches with free drinks, not even get a breathalyzer at the sobriety check point outside the club but the driver in my car, right behind the car full of girls, was told to get out and was taken to jail for being .08 on the dot? Does this clear it up for you?

Pat fans are the biggest bunch of insecure bitches in the world. You just had a Super Bowl handed to you on the worst call in the history of the NFL. Be happy, shut up and don't complain if people are asking questions about Edelman or deflated balls or any other crap.

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.

Why do people watching at home think they know the severity of any injury, especially a concussion?
Whatever Jamaal did or didn't do afterward, it came after he laid motionless on the ground for what seemed like a pretty long ****ing time.

I can't see how it was possible that he passed the protocol. After he was hit, he stumbled around like a drunk. When he caught the pass down to the 4, he fell on his own and was very slow to get up. Then a play after that he hit the back of his head on the turf and just laid there for several seconds. It just didn't pass the eye test when I was watching live.
