So you think just because someone is not affiliated with any team, that said person is going to be immune to taking large sums of money to do what's in a team's best interest?
Logic Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 The conspiracy theories and complete misconceptions about how concussion protocol works are pretty wild today. ? 1
Jerome007 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I know he is cleared. But we're talking brain here, not a broken finger or bone. IMO it would make sense to make in active as the #2 QB, With the bye week and QBs not getting hit in practice, that would be 3 full weeks of recovery if Barkley finishes the game. Think long term here, not just this week! 1

Plausible deniability comes to mind. NFL wanting to avoid potential lawsuits. Not hard to see, As I said twice now, could be on the up and up, but your blind faith in the NFL being good guys out for what's best for the players seems naive to me.
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 It's pretty clear that some fans just wanted to see Barkley play. 1
BuffAlone Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Im probably wrong, but seems to me the NFL has a list of Independant Drs that get paid by the league for making evaluations. kinda like my insurance, a list of "in network" Doctors available, providing a range of specific expertise. Depending upon location, timing, and availability a DR gets the call to go to work. They get paid by the league, and team doctors paid by the team.
VW82 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) As I understand it the INC evaluates the injured player after participation in the first practice back in addition to reviewing whatever diagnostics performed by the team, including baseline measurements. In the case of QBs who typically aren’t taking hits at practice, how do they know whether the injured player is fully recovered? Do they put QBs through some special set of drills (e.g. practicing ball security while taking sacks) that they wouldn’t normally do in order to simulate contact? I feel like it would be a lot easier to game the system with a QB than say a LBer. Anyways, glad Josh got through it. If nothing else this means he isn’t experiencing headaches or other concussion symptoms anymore. Hopefully he’s able to bounce back from his performance last week. Edited October 5, 2019 by VW82

Gugny Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 1 minute ago, MAJBobby said: so You stance is. man Independent Neurologist that is approved by the NFLPA and assigned to a team will risk everything to take 100Gs in a Duffel Bag Given to him from a team that preaches family and culture at every turn. And from an Ownership group that invested MILLIONS into the health of their players only to Risk their QBs long term viability and health to Pay off an Independent Neurologist for a Tennessee Titian game. that is what you are going with? Well ... yeah. And so I'm clear ... you think that, simply because McDermott is a holy roller, that he's above paying a doctor to clear his QB? Because men of faith have historically been on the up and up in every way, shape and form. Right? Is that what you're going with? 1
