The part they missing is... Tua went to the teams Doctors... not the other way around.

 

Well that's what we were told, but now it sounds like the team noticed something and sent Tua to be checked on, not that he voluntarily admitted concussion symptoms. The Dolphins are developing a nasty reputation as a team that hides things and changes their story around when it comes to concussions.

I am saying and their fan base is saying all this was after the fact

[MAJBobby]

Now changing their story. 
 

 

first it was “Tua saw Drs on his own because Monday he had Symptoms”. 
 

Today it was “we told Tua to see Dr after watching the inconsistencies on tape.”
 

probably the reality is everyone KNEW Sunday and kept him in the game. 
 

 

and people wonder why McD NEVER TALKS about injuries specially concussions. When your stories don’t line up day to day problems come. Specially from a team that likely hid the concussion in the Bills game.

The 3 INTs must have been the inconsistency.

Just watched McDaniel talk about Tua. What an awkward smug little prick.

A lot of Dolphin fans already want to move on from him. They didn’t like of the look of him smiling and laughing in the sideline when they were in the second half Sunday

That’s what losing will do for you.  A month ago he was all over TikTok as the new “cool” coach and now he just sucks.

How does this happen? Treated like a ragdoll...

His Body frame is small. Many talking how Fins need to put him Jujitsu as well so he “learns” how to fall.

Mike McDaniel is a clown, and he is running a full on clown show down in Miami.  I am not sure what anybody sees in this guy.  He is immature and seems in over his head, and is not a leader.  Hopefully he does not kill somebody before they inevitably fire him in a year or two.

Those are his defining characteristics.

[BRH]

The best part is that after McDaniel claimed that Tua self-reported his symptoms, Dolphins fans doubled down on how no one saw anything untoward happen during the game - despite the fact that someone had already tweeted out the play where he hit his head and posited it as a reason for his second-half troubles.  Now McNerd comes out and says the team saw “some inconsistencies” while watching film (read: “we saw where he hit his head and now we know everyone else saw it too”) and the fans are left to either double down again, or backtrack. 
 

McNerd talks way too much and thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, and now it’s gotten him in trouble with the team, the fans, and quite likely the league.  You hate to see it.  But also… you love to see it.

Allowing Tua to return in the 2nd half of our game was insane. Now he's on concussion #3 in less than a season and people today on the radio are talking retirement.  Miami's clever little nerd coach should take a page out of the Bills organization and how they protect their players.

Crazily enough Kelly told stories in his book about how he got concussed during a game once to the point he had to have Kent Hull call the plays ion the huddle for him for a few plays but he ended up finishing the game...amazing how it's gone from "I was so tough, I played through it" back in the day to outrage the player wasn't pulled from the game.  It's honestly really great to see and something the NFL has gotten much better at, although not necessarily of their own desire.

Nope Story Change already. 
 

the reality is we all knew Sunday and thought we could get through it.

I would say that even allowing him to come back after just two weeks following that horrifying display on prime time in Cincinnati was just as insane, as was allowing him to fly back on the team plane that night.  What happened the other day was just a matter of time.

NFLPA investigating again. Which probably won't amount to anything, right or wrong. Likely more wrong.

We saw it all the time and thought nothing of it.  In fact we celebrated it.  There were others too. Jim McMahon today says he remembers almost nothing from his playing days. But that was thirty years ago.  

[Big Blitz]

Tua will not be their QB next season.  
 

And the problem with him sticking it to that franchise by saying I’m never playing another down for an organization that tried to replace me three times and never supported me is that his value plummets.  
 

 

This is all because of the deliberate negligence in response the “back injury.”

 

If handled properly he never plays Thursday vs the Bengals and we likely aren’t having this conversation today.

I was just listening to the Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet hockey podcast, with a regular visitor Jeremy Roenick.

 

JR was joking (sort of, but also serious) when he was recounting a story from a game in the '90s and he said something like "Now remember, this is back in that period of my life where I don't remember much from head shots" or words to that effect.  Like an entire time period (multi-years) of his life is now just a blank.

 

He mentions that now and again.

 

He used to love to hit people and I can recall some absolutely ENORMOUS hits where JR was totally blown up and down for the count with a clear concussion.

 

I love that aspect of sports, but I don't want to see people become brain damaged either.  

 

I also love boxing, and that is even worse with the brain trauma.

 

So either we put player health ahead of entertainment, or we don't.

 

Probably the NFL should cease to exist for health reasons if we are being totally honest, but it will continue for a long time to come.

 

The thing to watch for societally is if the day comes when insurance companies will no longer insure scholastic youth football programs.  If THAT becomes a big thing, youth football will die, and when that happens, the NFL will die some time thereafter.

That might be 30 or 50 years down the road.  Or 5.  Or never!  I don't know.
