Dan Darragh Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I don't remember a guy going as long in the concussion protocol as Derek Anderson has. It doesn't matter from a football perspective for the Bills but I really feel for the guy. He was happy playing Mr. Mom and came out of retirement for us. Is he another Kevin Kolb? Bills have been under the Cone of Silence on this one as far as I can tell except to say that he's "still in concussion protocol." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins Malone Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Well Karlos Williams was out for a very long time because of a concussion. Much longer then DA. Not sure what the Bill's are supposed to say besides hes under concussion protocol? It's not a cone of silence that's the situation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If I had to guess, age probably plays a roll to some degree. I still can't figure out how he had a concussion from the Patriots game when he was never hit in the head, but whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateHookerMD Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 My guess is it is largely a cover for him to save face. He was never supposed to play. With Allen back and now Barkley he can go back to his mentor role he was always supposed to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Indirectly, Peterman being so terrible might have caused this guy a serious head injury. There was no excuse for Peterman to be on this roster after week 1. Him being so useless caused us to throw in Anderson almost right away. I was happy Anderson was playing but it’s a shame for him. The guy was probably expecting to pretty much be a coach in a helmet and because of the ineptitude of our backup, he was forced into the lineup. If Peterman wasn’t even capable of playing, I don’t understand why he was on the roster. It’s over now but it definitely went on to long. Hopefully Anderson ends up being okay. A head injury can effect people in very different ways. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee’s Concussion Protocol Overview - NFL Play Smart, Play Safe Shrug, its all super subjective and pseudo-science to clear people. All he has to do is answer a question wrong and he "fails." He has no incentive to want to come back quickly. If you were Anderson would you be in a hurry to play? He thought he was walking into a cush QB3/mentor spot. QB3s almost never play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for any conspiracy with every concussion being different in terms of severity/recovery time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
