NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol

I don't think Miami maliciously tried to circumvent the concussion protocol. I do think the they found a loophole in the process which allowed Tua to return to what was a massive game for the Dolphins.  And I think the HC isolated himself away from the decision making process by simply "trusting" the doctor.

That's all fine and dandy, but McDaniel is trying to have it both ways.  You can't isolate yourself from the decision by turning a blind eye to what you saw happen with your own two eyes, and then turn around and blubber that "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I knowingly put him in danger" (or whatever he said).

 

I kind of think the guy's a phony.  Different personality but he's got some Greggo in him.  Wants everyone to believe his narrative about himself.

No no no, it's his back see he's normal now definitely not his brain.

I can't help but wonder what the Jets defensive players feelings are if Tua is cleared to play.

 

No player would want to be the 3rd guy to knock him out, but you can't give Tua a free ride either.

What kind of damage could be done if it happened 3 weeks in a row?

 

If Tua had never sustained any of these injuries, no one would question a Jets player laying the lumber on him.

What will the perception be if a Jets player does that next Sunday?

With how quick the game is there's no time for them to think about that, kind of like with the Bills after Dane's injury have to just put it aside and keep moving.

He clutched for his head immediately after he smack d his head off the ground. Must be his back if he says it's his back...

True, but I'm talking about the consequences that Tua may suffer and how that would make a player feel after.

I guess I'm saying all players know they can be injured or injure another player.  Tua could be greatly escalating those chances.

What you mean a guy who hit his head hard on the ground and couldn't stay on his feet after shouldn't have gotten back into the game?

Several mistakes……

No way!  I was told Drs dont make mistakes right here on this very board.

[HappyDays]

Wow I thought the protocol was vague and the decision to let Tua go back into the game was wrong, but I didn't expect the independent doctor to be incompetent. It feels like this is heading towards a hefty fine and the loss of draft picks.

While it is evident the Dr made mistakes, I hope this doesn't give a reason to let the Miami organization off the hook.

At the very least the Miami doctor should be fired as well if the UNC made "several mistakes" then you know the Miami doctor likely went along with it.  That's clearly negligence (malpractice) on the doctors part.  Be interesting to see how far it goes up.

It may become foolish for them to do that.  I mean, if I was a Dr in other games going forward, I would rule a concussion a whole

hell of a lot more if they hang this guy out to dry.

Hahaha! The Dolphins found a scapegoat for their obvious disregard for player safety.  Somebody keep an eye on this guys bank account.
