The backup was playing horrible. Tua wasn’t good but Brissett is awful. He doesn’t make the one throw Tua made the second half to Waddle.

That's the NFL for you - it would be like the NFL scheduling a team coming off a Monday night game to play in Miami in September. Player safety is not a consideration for the NFL Maybe this is a stupid question but do we know he even went into concussion protocol? Dolphins were quick to say it was an earlier back injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t cloudy or fuzzy until the next day, so I went back in the game. This was in HS the 2nd I have no memory for maybe 30-45 minutes. I was knocked out but not cold. I remember running off the field but not getting off the field. I must not have said anything because a few minutes later I went back into the game and played 100% blackout. At some point someone must have realized I was messed and they took my helmet and stuck me on the bench, where I came to. Since this was college sports I had taken a “base line” test prior to the season starting. I was given that test Monday and Tuesday and passed and was allowed to return to practice. Had I been given that test on the sideline, after coming to, I probably would have passed right then and there. so basically a lot of your concussion issues kinda go away immediately. Sometimes.

The doctor is independent though so idk how much an investigation could really determine….it’s not the dolphins fault if the doctor misdiagnosed him.

CoffeeDrip Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The only people buying the back injury line are Fins fans who will not like it if this results in further injury in the coming weeks. 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will cost them a handful of games this year with bad calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 3 hours ago, Beast said: So what if he did? Playing a QB that has a concussion isn't a bad thing though it is obvious he has no effects from that hit. It's NORMAL for a player to get concussed and then feel great 10 minutes later and be fine for the first 2-3 hours...........only to have the brain gradually swell and have excruciating headaches and symptoms for weeks. This is why they have the protocol.........players frequently feel fine initially and want to get back into the game and then they compound the injury by taking more hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you give benefit of the doubt and he has a back injury that’s so bad that he’s collapsing on the field he shouldn’t be in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Had a very similar concussion 2 years ago doing gymnastics landing on the back of my head from 7 ' with momentum carrying me back. Very similar behavior. Never fully checked but blacked out for minutes, not unconscious. I shook it off and continued to workout because I'm a fool. Can't convince me this wasn't a concussion.
