SirAndrew Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Of course no one will mention last week with Tua on the halftime show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he clearly had enough cognitive function to finish a football game and he kept up the lie all week. Anyway, much more responsibility lies with the organization and "independent" consult.

Nextmanup Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 This is a HUGE story that hasn't even started yet. The big thread around here in the days ahead will be all about TUA and calls/demands for penalizing Miami and changing the review system.

In Buffalo, it's ECMC. 1 minute ago, Batman1876 said: Level 1 is the most serious. But they said it’s near the stadium so he might not be a level 1 trauma. 1 minute ago, Brian3488 said: I belive level 4 is the most urgent and level 1 is a local hospital with minimal access to specialty care Thank you for the edumacation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just now, Nextmanup said: The argument would be that ALL players want to return to the game and will do/say whatever they can to get back in there. That's how it always was in the old days. That's why it's critical to have a league-created system in place to take the decision OUT of the hands of the player. So in a sense, I would say "NO" you can't blame TUA...the system around him is what failed. The league has a system where they “prefer the the team approach” and the team physician is present because he can provide “‘more personal information”. In theory when Tua says “it’s my back” the NFL is pretending that team physicians are jumping in and going “no no mister independent neuro. He does not have a history of this. Please force him to sit” Glad he’s able to move. Just a reminder that NHL players will miss an entire season for one concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 'r Mortis Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Wiz said: I don't know how hospitals work. Is 1 considered high or low in this case? Serious question. Like a 5 alarm fire is the worst for firefighters a level 1 could be the same in terms of head trauma. Or like Defcon levels. I always thought 5 was the worst. Nope! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Tua gets hurt too much to really be any sort of franchise QB. Not even about this week or last week...every year he is out a few weeks here and there from injuries... The best ability is availability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm no doctor but isn't "moving his extremities" not so much the issue with a concussion, that's more like a neck/spine concern? 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 2 minutes ago, mead107 said: His head did not bounce like last week. Hope Miami gets fined for letting him play this week Well, it was exactly the same sort of action....he did not hit it nearly as hard as he did last week though. Was more of a tap that likely would have not bothered him, had he not concussed his head 4 days ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I feel like throwing up. That was just awful, awful, awful to watch. It's hard to go on thinking about or watching football or caring about this game after that. If Tua did have a concussion last week and the Dolphins knew it and allowed him to take the field tonight, I hope they are penalized incredibly heavily. That would constitute potentially murderous negligence. Literally risking a man's life to win a game. Sickening. I don't even know what else to say. This is horrible. Prayers up and fingers crossed for Tua. He seems like a great young man and I really hope he's okay. 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I don’t know. personally I believe Bridgewater is as good if not better than Tua. I don’t see a downgrade but I am saying that meaning I really haven’t been very impressed with Tua to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Fitz is smart, he knows what he just saw. “Moving extremities” doesn’t mean anything with that type of brain injury. As a neurologist friend just put it, he’s gotta worry about being able to toilet himself, never mind playing football again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
