Both Lindros brothers. But that was an age without concussion protocols.

 

Tua was asking what happened on the play that he ended up on a stretcher? Oh boy.

 

 

Guys get concussions all the time in the NHL;  very few last 1 year and even fewer end careers, though both of these things can and have happened.

 

It depends on the person; it varies from case to case, how many you have had before, and so on.

 

I would say in hockey its common to miss a solid MONTH or more however.

I was just saying I could only imagine if it was Allen and mcd did that. I’d be calling for his firing and I respect mcd more than any coach in the league and not just cause he’s Buffalos coach. 

I don’t think this is a HC issue. They just follow whatever the Medical team tells them. 
 

If medical team and player says they’re good to go, they’ll play them. They’re not doctors

Is that what they said?  My last concussion I didn't know what happened. Motor skills were there and I could walk, I even continued my workout for a second. But I didn't know my name or anything for a few minutes, or where I was for a while. I kept asking what happened. It ***** me up a good few weeks

The real problem here with Tua is that he’s tiny and SLOW. He got thrown about like a rag doll, again. And that will continue to happen for the remainder of whatever career he can squeeze out of his very limited physique. The NFL has big string men who wish to do harm, and…. I’ve made my point.  

Plus he doesn't know how to avoid big hits. Rob Johnson was similar.

It's been crazy seeing "reporters" on NFLN this week parrotting the "back injury" talking point with a straight face - will be interesting to see if there is any actual real discussion now that includes the acknowledgement of what actually happened last Sunday

That’s BS. McDaniel saw that his QB couldn’t walk on his own and put him back in. He could have kept him out of the game. A win was more important than the health of his QB.

With all the running around Allen does, there's always talk of him getting hurt and that's what everyone worries about.  Looking at the way Tua was flung down, not sure I've ever seen such a violent, but easy take down of a player.  Tua was flung down like a rag doll. 

 

Do wonder if given Allen's size and strength, could he ever be flung down like that?  Would think it would be hard for someone to do.  Could see a violent blind side hit, but not being flung down.

I mean if both medical team and player was telling him he’s fine why would he?
