Phil The Thrill Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 I don’t get the status of Derek Anderson. He leaves the game versus NE on 10/29 with an apparent concussion and is placed in concussion protocol. 6 weeks later he’s still in concussion protocol!?!? It seems like a very long time. So are the Bills just trying to keep him on the roster without activating him? I know he was signed to mentor Allen but why don’t they just hire him on the coaching staff? Does anyone thing he’ll ever be off the injury report?
longtimebillsfan Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Do you think they are just using this to keep Anderson off the field. He may have told management that " I signed up to mentor Allen, but don't put me on the field again"? Edited December 2, 2018 by longtimebillsfan 4
Mrbojanglezs Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 He never wanted to play. They have Barkley now so he probably wants to just "coach" 1

Rc2catch Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 They signed him to “play” that didn’t go well. He’s just here to finish the season, no reason to transition his role in the organization. He may not want to be a coach or whatever and is just collecting a quick check helping out the team. Win win for everyone

Only thing is there probably are big penalties for falsifying injuries like that, so I don’t know what’s up. If head injuries are this big of an issue, he should just retire
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 This def strikes me as an odd situation; is this out of the ordinary in terms of length of time in the protocol? I understand every case is different but he has been back out on the practice field throwing the ball

Royale with Cheese Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Well this is a bit long for concussion symptoms but it does happen time to time. Morneau of the Twins has it for a year I believe.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Either way he's not likely going to be active unless either Barkley or Allen were to get hurt. Wonder if ther's any type of $$ advantage if you're in concussion protocol maybe consdiered active for some type of bonus $$ where if inactive he doesn't get paid. So they agreed to keep him that status??

JinxedBill1 Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 His head hurts from the mismanagement of the depth at QB...lol 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) EMy tin foil hat theory. He came to mentor and not to play. There is no reason to be out a month with a concussion and not be put on IR. Edited December 2, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan
