Mango Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I actually think McDaniels had the potential to be a grow into a pretty competent coach. He was certainly maximizing Tua. But if you’re Miami I think you have to move on. At least as a fan I would want to. He is a huge part of Tua facing serious long term brain injury. Just from a people perspective I wouldn’t want that in house. Let alone in charge. Intentions be damned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much hope that intensive research continues on CTE and developing treatments for it. I will honestly never forget him getting concussed like 5 days after we played the Phins, and he went into a fencing posture. These guys are paying a very, very fûcking high price. They are paying a high price but they can pull the plug at any time they wish. If they want to play nobody should stand in their way if they are medically cleared to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Bill Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 A lot of us scoff at the Bills taking so long to bring injured players back but I would bet that if Josh got a concussion McClappy and the organization would put his health ahead of any game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkScrewHill Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Tua seems like a guy you would want to hang with .. unlike Mac and Zach .. but 3 concussions in a year does not sound like he will be long for the NFL.

wjag Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 It does explain a lot about the last 3 drives. Although he seemed pretty normal in the snippets of the post game news conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 This certainly was missed by those paid to look for it but there is a safeguard. The player it actually happened to. I get not wanting to come out of a game but I don’t think the player should be let off the hook either, especially when it’s his health at risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, Dolphins, their fans, all that. But ... Tua seems like a really great kid, and I hate to see this happening to him. This one is definitely at least one too many. He's got to step aside for the rest of this year and not think about coming back until he has 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions on whether he can continue to play without endangering his future well being. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Tua if he wasn’t playing for the fins would be a guy I would actually route for he seems like a decent dude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just having this conversation. It feels like it revolves mainly around Tre. But we have a QB with an injured throwing elbow, Poyer wasn’t allowed on an airplane, Beasley played with a broken leg, Morse is going to get cleared to play another NFL game after 6 NFL concussions alone. I don’t think McDermott is as careful as some would like him to believe. McDaniels is just risking Tua’s life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Has it been reported that he showed symptoms during the game? From what I read, it was only after the game - and they're not even sure it's a concussion. Either way, I obviously hope the guy is okay.

babulator Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 The total disregard for his safety is crazy, almost criminal imho. Concussions are bad, but taking another blow to the head while already concussed is exponentially bad. Like him or not, people play better without brain damage. He should be shut down for the rest of the season. I feel like this guy is a prime candidate for long-term CTE issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points, I guess it is just the seriousness of this issue that is so upsetting and makes the other injuries pale in comparison. The handling of Morse is a concern. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazinBill Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I mean this is really only hurting himself honestly - we saw what happened earlier in the season after his "back injury" - bottom line it really just shows that he gets concussed very easy - but why does this guy's head always break the fall? So for counting purposes is that 2 this year or 3? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 It is the culture of the game. The best ability is availability, right? Tua is giving everything he he has to prove he's worthy of a second contract and a franchise keeper. He has heard all the criticisms about his lack of physical tools and the stories of the owner trying to replace him. I think he is fighting an early end to his NFL career so he is not going to willingly succumb to any obstacle. The back injury loophole was his go to story to keep playing. He knows that he can't show any signs of weakness. These 3 concussions were not abnormal football plays. The hip fracture was not an abnormal play either. He is fighting the perception that he isn't physically suited to be an NFL QB. Often perception is reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single player reacts to concussions differently… Some get one and they’re messed up for life Some people get 5 and it doesn’t affect their long-term health… Tua becoming Stiff and twitching was definitely scary I lost my college football career because of concussions…. You can see CTE brain damage in guys like Antonio Brown Thankfully Morse doesn’t seem to be in that category as of now Edited December 26, 2022 by Buffalo716 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 How does McDaniel not suffer consequences for being so cavalier/clueless about his franchise QB? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
