NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol

[Richard Noggin]

Micheal Smith on the post-game Amazon broadcast is bringing attention to what everyone knows: this was badly mishandled, everyone knows it, and it needs to be addressed. 

 

Miami is showing to be the MOST unethical organization in the league now as a demonstrable pattern. That owner has to go.

The post game show hosts are absolutely torching the Dolphins organization right now.

Does Tua have a charity? Maybe we should try to shine a light on what's obviously an awful lapse in judgement on Miamis end. 

 

I just started a thread to let people know about bis charity. Just donated $17

The voice of the corporate status quo

Sherman said what we were all thinking. Made him come back in Sunday because it was a big game.

I thought he was going to go full on Richard Sherman, he wanted to speak so badly.

 

Then he says "I just don't know how to feel about it all"

Does anyone else (think I know the answer) think Tua is simply NOT an NFL QB? He has some skills, sure, but physically he is unsafe out there. Just unable to protect himself enough to withstand the game's violence. I've never seen a guy get ragdolled by every defender who really gets their hands on him. Almost every season, since college. 

 

Would have better for him to get knocked out of last week's game, which we all know is what actually happened in the alternate reality where the NFL follows its own very important protocols. 

Trent Edwards.  A 9ers QB I can't remember before Garcia I think. Tommy Maddox.  David carr. I can think of a few

Steve young used to get brutalized. So did Favre. I remember Cunningham getting smoked a bunch. Grogan got lit up several times.

I think this will mostly be swept under the rug. It’ll last a news cycle or so. 
The league will review procedures and nothing will probably come of it. 
Hopefully Tua will recover and be ok. I still believe the only one possibly in trouble or scapegoated  is whoever the independent neurologist was at the Bills game who cleared him to return. Their coach, while we can question his decision probably can’t face any actual discipline.

The other don't understand Dolphins had days to prepare for this game (Bengals). Shouldn't they check for sure if he didn't had a concussion. (thinking they possibly knew).

Yes and no, second impact syndrome affects people under a certain age, but once they are 23/24 it seems to not be the same factor. REGARDLESS, there's a lot of questions to be answered right now and prayers for a kid that shouldn't have been put in that position 

Does Miami claiming it was a back injury change any of the protocols?

[Beast]

If it was a back injury why didn’t Tua just go to the tent?

The worse part is he just hit his head in the same manner and his brain suffered a second injury on top of a pre-existing brain contusion. Its going to be a long time until he is able to clear protocol.

 

So... 60 minutes?
