if these caps did all that, every school district in the country would mandate them for liability reasons alone. Yet they don’t. Nor do colleges. Forget the pros. If players/parents/programs/schools felt that theses caps might get them to zero concussions, of course they would mandate them.
clearly they don’t believe in their purported effectiveness.
CTE results from a an entire life experience of countless small cranial impact/deceleration events. Most pros who will display neuro deficits in the future—their fate was sealed before they were drafted.
there is really no way that any piece of equipment “eliminates concussions”.
I don’t doubt that parent feel more comfortable that they are doing something.
wear in college or even high school are these being widely used?
it hasn’t really been shown, clinically, that wearing these things will actually lower incidence of concussion or post career disorders.
Theres nothing stopping owners for adding any type of bonus to a contract. None of them do for wearing these things therefore they don’t believe they would protect their investment
players are considered employees of the team.
of course any player can be cut at any time for any reason or no reason at all. I’ve acknowledged this multiple times already. “The NFL” can’t fire him. If cut, any team can sign him.
the cumulative effects of Morses concussions are likely no different, in regard to his future neurological health,than Tua’s. We’ve seen few other “fencing” posturing events with other players concussed, yet the results later in life aren’t different. Based on all that is known about CTE, there is no difference.
Therefore it makes little sense to say that Morses countless concussions are very different than Tuas 2 big hits witnessed on TV
7 more years on the lease. Plus, this wouldn't count as a "move" ,as they would still be the KC Chiefs.
It's like Kraft using Connecticut to squeeze out a new stadium in Foxboro.
you really think Jerry Jones, who would kill to see a team out of San Antonio would allow for "The Dallas Chargers"?
come on...
The Chargers are paying a rent of one dollar a year! Why on earth are they going to move?
what would be the point of moving the Chiefs across the border? To...where? I don't get it.
Chargers moved because the owner didn't want to spend on a stadium. The Rams left St. Louis because they wouldn't build a new stadium. So you think this is a natural match? lol.....
no chance. huge choker. stat builder, regular season wonder, playoff dud (worse than Prescott)-with Tomlinson, Gates, Vincent Jackson.
Swap out those 3 for Antowain Smith, Troy Brown and Daniel Graham and the Chargers never make the playoffs once.
lol Phil Rivers...
At what point in the podcast does he say where the fellas told him they wished they had Winston back because he never yelled at them?
yeah, wtf is Mayfield going on about. how would he know?
I bet none of the players Mayfield says he heard stuff from were complaining when Brady showed up and won them all SB rings...
